We're one or two incidents Of interest
in III days trading. One was the
buying for London account. This was
not large but it was influential and
was pretty well distributed through the
list. Later the local ira
ders took the market away from the
foreigners and bid up the prices Of the
Pacific railroad stocks. This buying by
London in face of the downward tenden
cy of sterling exchange, which is al
ready within measurable distance of the
gold importing point. was rather unex'
pected Money continued easy in Lon
don, but it showed itself sensitive to de
mands for gold. The present ease in
exchange is due as yet to offerings
of grain and cotton futures, but rates
are bound to yield further as grain
and cotton come forward and the pres
sure on London is likely to lead to Dor
rowing in New York, or an import
of gold.
There was fair demand for bonds
to-day. but prices We're not well held.
There was a reaction of u to IA in the

in deposits and the contraction in loans

loan decrease was probably due to ope-
ration in government bonds by banks

Gated.

HAVEN x STOUTS COTTON
LETTER.

New York. July 23.-(Special.) 1.-The
course of the cotton market has been ir-
regular with Il generally weak under
tone. Continued iquidations of the
August option and favorable reports of
the condition of the growing crop have
led to decline of Il cent, midddling up
lands being now quoted at 6M cents.
The immediate cause of the more rapid
decline on Friday may be attributed to
the collapse and forced liquidation Of
a bull pool which recently widely herald
ed their intention of cornerng the shorts
in the August contract. Prices are now
well under the lowest recorded for this
season of the year, but still more than
IL cent a pound above the low record for
any season. The lowest at which cotton
contracts ever sold in the New York
market was 523c. Il pound for the De
cember delivery on November the l2th,
1894 Many traders are looking for Il
decline which will bring quotations down
to these lowest figures, and base their
belief unon the present outlook for a
production of this season or more than
II 100000 bales, which they say, COM
ing on top of the present visible sup
plies. is Il larger amount than can be
handled. even at the present low price.
In the meantime customers see no rea-
son to anticipate their wants That there
are two sides to the question of the prom
ising outlook for n large production is
clearly shown by some of orr Southern
correspondents, who, while not denying
the present excellent conditions, insist
that the plant is ''sappy' and tender.
with the roots close to the top of the
ground and is thus in position to de-
teriorate very rapidly should August
prove exceptionally hot and dry. How
ever. we continue to feel that the out
look is more favorable to n decline than
an advance. pending the receipt of ac-
tual adviccs showing marked injury to
the crop.
There is a slight increase in the ag-
gregate demand for textile goods, but
the tone is not sensibly changed. The
feature of the situation is the absence of
pressure to sell. The latest advices from
Fall River are favorable to the carry
ing out of the proposed shorter time OPP
erations. The spot demand for fancy
calicoes. though still quiet, shows some
Improvement. The prospect of cur
taiIment of business ut Fall River is
reflected in firmer tone in print cloths.
