Weekly Market Review.

Although trading was not active, a de-
Ginning tendency has ruled in the COTTON
market nearly all the past week The
close is at an insignificant recovery from,
the lowest point, and % points lower for
August. The new crop months did NOT
su1Ier quite so severely, losing only about
Ia points. August closed at z 16c and No
vember at 6.71c. The weakness NAV he
attributed to a variety of causes. but the
chief one was undoubtedly a feeling of
disappointment over the dwiudling of the
demand for spot cotton. especially at Iiv-
erDool where the sales have been con-
tinuousiy small. Some slight influence
may nave come from the Senate's action
on the Cuban question and still more from
the Iact that crop accounts continue to
improve slowly. The crop, however, can
not yet be said to offer anything like a
brilliant promise except from scattering
sections. Upon the whole, the prospect
appears rather below the average for this
season. and the start, moreover is back
ward. Still, there is ample time TO catch
up, and such seems to be the conviction
OF the trade, which now is dfsposed To
adopt an optimistic view of the crop and
consequently pessimistic one Of the mar
ket. II, acting upon the assumption that
cotton will be abundant and cheap next
fall, spinners show an inclination to hold
aloof for the next few months. no doubt
the idea will become more general that
after all there will be cotton enough TO
pull through on. But this mood of the
consumptive demand may change any
time; it certainly will change If anything
should occur to create apprehension re-
garding the prospective suficiency Of the
next crop. The other leading markets
showed no especial activity Wheat va
ried within a range of a little over &c;
was mostly inclined to weakness. but
closed tirmer at a decline for the week of
about 1c; July, ne; September. SIC. This
difference of &c is unusually wide: IL is
due, Of course, to the growing scarcity of
supplies, and the confidence that there
viii be plenty of wheat for all purposes
by September AS a matter of fact, crop
reports do seem to show some little inn
provement, except from some localities.
especially California, where the splendid
condition prevailing a month ago has IN
dergone material impairment II is estl-
mated by leading statistical authorities
that the American visible supply, already
below 30,000,O0o will fall to 100000 before
it commences to increase again. Under
such circumstances II does not look rea-
sonable to expect low prices for wheat
this summer Besides there are a num-
Der OF heavy operators I'm Chicago. and
perhaps some Of them may find the op-
portunity prOpitioUs to give the market
little artificial assistance. Corn. oats
and provisions continue quiet and are
slightly lower all around.

ested In the long dreaded eastern question
should have thus been able to freely dis
cuss its involvements and agree upon
common policy to prevent its being made
an occasion of common quarrel. So far
as known, nothing has appeared in the
discussion Of the concert to Indicate that
any one of the governments has any pres
ent selfish design relating TO Turkish ter
ritory. After twenty years, each spring
of which has brought apprehension of the
outbreak OF war on this very question, il
is of inestimab.e value to have this assur-
ance that not one of the powers hints al
any such policy. This general hand-show-
ing cannot but contribute to a great re-
covery Of confidence among the great for
eign employers of capital; and il seems
safe to expect that a real revival of enter
prise will be one of the ultimate results
OF the work Of the powers.
Here business is kept more or less I'M
settled by the persistent agitation in the
Senate Of the recognition of the independ-
gree unfortunate that the very branch Of
congress designed 10 hold in check wild
popular vagaries and dangerous outbursts
OF popular passion should itself become
the chief source of such disturbances Of
public confidence; and yet to-day we wit
ness in that body little else than such per-
versions of It's pacific functions The at
tempt made by the Senate to force the
government TO intervene IN Cuba Is little
short Of wicked. It's effect can only be to
still further unsettle confidence by raising
an issue involving the very delicate ques-
ton Of the respective rights of the Presi-
dent and the Senate, and for no better pur-
pose than TO revel In a wild revolt against
safe and conservative methods Of govern
ment. The bad effect Of this legislation fs
not so much In any expectation that the
President will permit himself TO be forced
into any abdication Of his executive rights
as that the highest house Of legislation
should have become so utterly untrustwor-
thy and dangerous.
The foreign exchanges show an easier
tone. The extraordinary demand for bills
connected with the large importations in
anticipation Of the increase Of tariff duties
has very much abated, and seems to have
passed its climax, and at the same time
there is an increase in the supply Of exporf
bills. Shipments Of gold al present esti
mated at S,2OOOOO to 81 500, 900. have been
arranged for, destined for Germany and
thence for Russia. IL looks, however. al
II the outflow has passed les climax and
may soon cease.
