A Memphis FIRMS Opinion.

n VtIuDn1S ODihtuus
BY private wire to b. w. Hunter g. Co.
New York, October 1S.-Although our
market opened at an advance. prices have
declined in sympathy with a loss of 3
points in Liverpool and Influenced by esti-
mates of free receipts at the ports. While
very uncertain feeling generally per-
vades tho trade. 1t is noticeable that at
each decline substantial buying orders ap-
pear, which have been based upon the ex-
ceptionally low level of values now pre-
va!ling. There has been some Liverpool
and Southern selling this morning and. as
Is ALWAYS the case on declining market.
the local bearish element has also been
disposed to increase outstanding lines
Notwithstanding the free port movement
today. we are already 100000 bales behind
last season in the volume of port arrivals
since September l. when the crop was
only s,75o.oo0 bales.
Messrs. NJ. II. Guenther & Co. of Mem
phis, Tenn. who last season estimated the
production mt S,553,OOo bales, under date OF
October Il, 1897. estimate this seasons
circular as follows: with the worlds
requirements fully $500 bales of cotton.
we hold ito the idea that values are too
low and that we must after the pressure
OF receipts has passed off, see a material
Improvement. Further, that the average
vaiues of the crop will be materially high
err than prices now rul.ng. The world 5
values are on an ascending scale: we have
pa ssed beyond the period of descending
values, and can see no reason why cotton
the chief product of the South, should not
participate in the general Improvement,
the clcse margin that will exist between
demand and supply is realized"

space to the subject of DR.. Ray
mond's Inauguration as president
of the State University. Itstrives

pletely taken possession of her
people that such rawlings as those
We have mentioned do little else
than excite compassion for the
misguided mind that originates
them.
