weather will likely csyse heavy receipts
for the near future, but they generally
claim that crops are much shorter than
and weak speculation. we see nothing to
encourage-bulls at the moment, but would
again say the price is not high. consider
ing an acknowledged uncertainty OF the
size OF the crop.
Estimated Receipts.
Houston expects 900 to 9400 bales to-
morrow, against 1926 on The same day
last year. This will be the ligitest move
ment in eight or ten days, and Is thought
10 foreshadow smaller receipts for the
coming week. New Orleans expects 6VOV
TO 300 bales tomorrow. as compared with
1S.697 on the same day last September.
Atwood Violet, Lockwood e. Co.
New York. September 23.--.Atwood vio-
lett, Lockwood e. Co. say of cotton:
Liverpool gave a decided setback today
by giving not only no support to our ad-
vance OF yesterday. but deemed materi-
ally from last nights prices. There were
extensive purchases ON this side yesterday
by very prominent exporting American
firm, probably to hedge. The effect here
was naturally to cause selling out by
those who have bought on the strength of
yesterdays encouragement en- this side,
and as buying orders were not abundant
sales could only be on considerable con-
cession. The market closed at prices be-
anticipating avery unfavorable bureau.
We favor buying cotton on basis of 6]s
cents for January, although pressing
needs of holders in the South may forge
spot prices some lower. We are now
about $3.50 per bale below this date last
year.
New York Cotton.
New York. September 23.-The cotton
market opened steady with prices 5I10
points lower. and ruled irregular and
at times decidedly weak. Cables were
distinct disappointment. and. while the
crop news was finally bullish, there was
disposition to turn attention to the
movement which, according to forecasts
from the South. is soon to be large one
Liquidation became a feature quite early
in the morning and continued throughout
showed net loss of 1904 points. Selling
was quite general but led by Southern Of
ders, with Liverpool orders alsj quite lib
eral. At the decline local traders were
disposed ito be conservative. Just before
the close one house bought about 5000
barely steady at decline of 1lq14 points.
Imports of Wool.
Washington, September 23.-The records
of the treasury department show that the
imports of wool at the ports of New York,
1897, the first full month since the new
tariff went into effect. amounted to 2,S75.- |
ST pounds, the smallest importation of |
any month since January, 1894, when the |
aggregate was 2,744,4 o6 pounds. The wool |
importatlons for August, 1896, amounted to |
importation was for April, 1897, when it |
reached 95959,935 pounds. Last Augustus |
