COTTON MARKET REVIEW,

Decrease.

scored n better Advance Than the
Near PositiOns--A slight Improves
ment in Price of Futures.
Office of The Post,
Houston. wednesday. February 3.

IIDusIOI1. Wednesday, II tbi udt
The t'midlty of spectators is stlll the
prominent feature In nearly all n,arkots
and cotton especially feels the weight of
this apathe,ic and waiting condition.
There was an advance of few points to-
day. rccoverlag the ss ght loss recorded
the day before, but some of the bulls
Thought the statistics justified a much
greater Improvement.
Port receipts were $500 bales less than
for the same day last year and $500 less
than the amount reported a week ago
In four days this week the receipts have
been 5000 bales against 10000 for tho
same time last week and 1900 last year.
The total port receipts for the week Wal
hardly 20 over 5000 ba,es and will com
mare with ll2.0O1 last year.
The decreasing interior movement Is also
attracting attention. The semi weekly re-
port from thirteen interior points showed
receipts of only 1900, and the stock has
decreased 1900 bales. beng considerably
less than at this time last year.
All these seemingly buiMsh figures how
ever. are brushed aside by the bears as of
no consequence. In their opinion the fell.
ing of in the movement merely represents
the effecs of the bad weather last week
They say thut next weeks receipts VIII be
all the larger. as a result. and refuse to
nut any faith in the reports of small
stocks at country points
AT todays session New York futures
