HOUSTON. SATURDAY Juuo so.
The worlds visible supply Of cotton will
get below tho two million bale mark next

worl1n cotton countries are now srcwinE
crop OF 100000 90 15.oooooo bales.
however. with fully two-thlrds OF that
amount to como from the United States.
| They contend that the supply Oh scp'cm-
| Der will be only slightly less ,han last
year. and that with tho prospect Of crop
considerably larger. prices should not be
above q cents.
But despite bearish theories, bearish SEN
timcnt and bcarish predictions the rrice
of spot cu,ton holds steady at from Thc
In Houston to INC in New York. United
States port stocks are only 100000 bales.
and fully $4,000 bales arc on ship5oard
awaiting clearance. Thirty one interior
towns have only 81 900 bales. and over one
half of this amount is held at St. Louis
and Memphis. The statistical position OF
cotton was never stronger. and speculative
Indifference never more noticeable. one

At today's session there was slight I'M
