A New Orleans firm THAT has been
rather bearish in regard TO cotton values
for some time past, writes follows, UNI
der date OF August 81: Taking every
thing into consideration the possibilities
of a large yield are very favorable. while
the demand from splnners does not seem
sufficiently urgent TO overcome any lib
eral supply, which may be thrown on the
market any moment. Therefore with the
prospect of decided increase In receipts
shortly II looks as II prices may declann
materially. especially as trade continues
