weekly Market ReYfeHY.

Weakness ruled in the cotton market
throughout the week. The bureau report
on Monday giving the condition at 20, was
lower than had been expected, but failed
to impart any strengthen fact a sharp
break Immediately ensued. On Saturday
January sold as low as 6.10c, then the
market recovered a little and closed at
616c, about 30 points decline for the week.
The volume of receipts has not been ex-
cessive, but 1t is supposed that the quar-
antine regula tons are retarding the move
ment. The bears refuse to attach any
weight to talk of crop damage. claiming
that past experience justifies their skep-
ticism, and insisting that the yield will
exceed 100000 bales While indications
are proverbially misleading In such mat
tiers, there seems nothing either in ac-
counts from the country or In the back
ward movement to warrant any such as
sumption. The undeniable fact that pros
poets, according to every kind of reports,
have seriously retrogTaded during the
past two months is quite ignored, and
estimates which did not seem unreasona-
bic in August are still adhered to- The
reasonable probabilities point to not much
over 100000 bales. Upon this view cot
ton is much too low, unless, indeed there
are other mighty influences at work, be-
sides the mere question of supply. Wheat
broke materially early on reports of long
needed rains in the west. In the decline
the May option suffered the most, but in
the reaction which followed, caused by
more damage talk and good demand, the
near months were much stronger The
result was the widening of the Deem
Der premium over May to &c, Decent Der
having gained about 1c, while May lost
about 1I5c, closing at 921sc and S915c, re-
spectively. As the premium usually works
