X - slssz ton q the sas aS of it is most perplexing 10 the nut of the statistical position md one can s.-,r his eyes and yet it looks almost certain that the combination of the many unfavor- able influences will rob it of any material effect on~prfcess Teday Liverpool again sent very discouragffg cables, the market refusing ,tosrespond to the strength exhibit ed here yesterday. Our market opened three points down, August selling on the first call at f.S5s-sPrices again showed great stubborfHtesss antfs~this small loss was quickly Tecovered. August advanced to 739 and for@the,sthird successive day closed at TBS to T. .39, -wirf -the =tone of the market steady.s.The Cfironitse, report on the out look irssthezsouth this morning could hardly be called sfaVorab blesa The backwardness and rather poor start of the new crop and the rapid daily diminution in the visible supply of cotton are strong bull cards The ma nipulation of July contracts and the steadi- ness of ell 4the spot markets in this country are also favorable features. On the other hand the evident reluctance of the foreign markets to advance the poor reports from Manchester, the talk of shutting down among the southern mills, the difficulty of disposing of manufactured goods, the dispondence caused by the delay in some definite tariff legislation, the possibility of fresh and vigorous agitation of the Cuban question by the iingees and the utter ab- sence of even the smallest speculative de mand are all features that are strongly against the market and that deserve the most serious consideration on the part of those who contemplate making q bull cam- paign In cotton. While we think that any possible profit that may be made on short sales Of the summer months is cut of all proportion to the risk run in selling them. We have lost faith in any substantial ad- vance ill the market at this time.
