Cnrsin q Richnrdson'- review.

CafSili a. Richardson OF houston say:
We have called attention OF late TO the fact
that nearly all New York cotton brokers
were bullish and encouraging buying of con-
tracts in that market. That this still con-
tlnues was well shown today. when in face Of
everything of a dscouraging character prices
advanced points from the lowest closing
steady at thestop. unchanged from yesterday.
Liverpool made brilliant attempt to set on
us. with their 1ir-6id decline and an easy
tone. Tomorrow we expect them to be UP
lta-Gid.
Tho features of our markets were he liberal
selling In New York by Liverpool and New
Orleans and the buying oil local NV York
operators and outsiders. New Orleans showed
considerable weakness early. but during the
afternoon became quito firm, closing | point
lower than yesterday.
Spots were reduced Lie in New Orleans.

We stll believe that cotton is on a sound
basis and that the probability OF any decline
of consequence liz small compared with
chances for much further Improvement
Stocks and grain ruled firm today, small
advances being made in everything. Hog re-

Hunters Daily cotton Letter.

b. W. Hunter Co. say OF today's cotton
market: Liverpool came easy and lower for
spots and contracts. closing barely steady,
about S-6iths down the day. Our market
sold off points in New Orleans aud in
New York, May. 5,6i and sol. but recovered
on covering and some outside buying. selling
UP to last nights prices and finally closed
unchanged on the day to point lower Liv-
erpool was n surprise to the trade. very little
II any decline being expected In that market
The break was attributed to lower silver and
fears of a bearsh circular from Neiil and to
the fact that spinncrs had temporarily with
drawn from the market. Receipts and esti-
mates LIBERAL the total at all ports for three
days this week being 10l. i03 bales. against
35.55S for tho same three days OF the 10, 600 :
oo0-crop year, but all the bear news for tho
time counts for naught. speculation is taking
hold OF cotton and strong houses are active
on the bull side, and arc glad TO see easy
periods as prevailed for quite while today
on which they can increase their lines. They
think cotton cheap, and are not at all afraid
so long as the demand keeps the supply NOV
ing where its weight is little felt. The bull
turn is not Yet over. possibly scalping both
sides will pay best for a while, but preference
should be given purchases on all breaks us to-
days. There are enough orders in the market
around cents for May to cause many rallies
every time the market reaches this price.
