COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
Liverpool Spot and Speculative
Business Was Small.
DECREASE IN THE VISIBLE SUPPLY.
Not as Large as for the same Week
Last Observation-Disclosures of
the Market.


ItouStVif, fSshNulNoS. June In
1t was rcatweless market today. law
erpool put her spot prices Lied lower. and
knocked of 's-6id on futures. New York
was unchanged on all positions, while
New Orleans unged from point down to
l point up.
About the worst news from abroad wua
tho small spot business done at Liver
pool. Sales were only 400 bales, of which
sio0 were American. Holders appear stub
born, however, and seem 10 think their
cotton will not depreciaie In value aud
may bring much higher prices.
There is q light demand for cotton In
American markets also. This Is abou,
the only thing ,hai viii prevent COM
plete exhaustion u stocks. II there
should be an Improvement In the de-
mand the bcsCs would have very little
upon which 20 base their pessimisic pre-
dlcton. one weeks good business would
clean out every bale of the $500 ir
presses at New ORLEANS.
II sales In American markets continue
at the present rate, however. the supuds
now at ports and interior towns viii be
sufficient. 1t Is true that tho amount
ysslhle on August will bo less than i75cll
sight and probably big crop in the fcldo,
/; Is seldom. though. that the hca.S
were in such ~ DANGEROUS position. and II
they escape the bullsh vcngeance this
ttmo one VIII DC forcad TO believe that
nature and everything e,so IA In their
favor. Just now the trend of the news
is bcarlsh-good weather poor export de-
mand. light speculation. Hun doubling un

pool or Increased activity in the dry goods
