Houston, Saturday. November Q.
How far the decline in cotton will con-
tinue IL about the only question that Is now
asitating the minds Of spinners and spccu-
laton. Any possibility OF ON Immediate
advance does not seem to be considered
The Influence at work and the conditions
IN tho market are practically unchanged.
Poor trade In cotton goods. 10th In America
and England, heavy receipts at ports and
interior towns and bearish crop estimates
are stan dIsquieting factors
Tho heavy movement has resulted In
STRENGTHENING the convictions OF large crop
believers and is dscouraglng those VINO
believe In moderate one. The trade gen.
orally now regards 10,O0O,0oo bales as very
near the correct figure. while radical bears
are making much larger estimates. About
the most peculiar feature OF the situation
is that the market continues 10 be de-
pressed by the same factors that have been
controlling values for the past three
months. II spectators thought heavy re-
ceipts Justified lower prices when cotton
was selling at Z cents. why shouldn't de-
cline OF l25 points discount that featursa
A large movement Is exactly what has been
predicted and the price has already been
put down in anticipation thereof The re-
ceipts thus far have certainly broken Ito
records and even now are running behind
the 1894 figures. They are large, 1t IL true.
but they need to be very large In ORDER to
mako crop Of 10, 100000 bales.
Today the market was dull one. with
prices about one point lower than yestcr-
day at the close. Liverpool was fully up 10
expectations. closing 1ls5id higher. Tho
bears are predicting iowcr market Mon

cate very heavy receipts AT ports and IN
