Cargin a nichnrd-en. Circular.

Cargill & Richardson seGy OF cotton:
Liverpool did about as expeetel, closing
unchanged from yesterday. Today's mar
ket was a repetition OF woat we have been
having for some days past. with prices
practically unchanged from last Saturday.
The developments from a bear standpoint
have been rather disappointing heavy
frosts being quite general over the belt
during the last few days Last nights
weather resulted IN a killing frost In Ar
kansas, Tennessee and Missouri. while
heavy frost was reported in Texas and
other sections, with the following forecast
for tonight. Frost in 1ennessae. Kentucky
Alabama, Missssipp, Georgia, interior
Csrohnas, East Louisiana. West Florida,
and extreme northern portion Of East Flor
ida. The eSrly market in New York was
quite firm. some to points advance be-
ing scored at one time. but selling by over
Sunday longs caused an uneasiness closing
prices being unchanged from yesterday.
Now that wo have had a pretty general
frost with no material Improvement In
prices. 1t remains to be seen what Will be
the next thing on the tapis, The country
beers hsve been slowly filling their short
engagements, ami as result offerings have
been limited. but the demand from abroad
does not increase except when prices de-
cline to meet their views, and unless the
movement shows decidei falling off the
spinner Is not liable to get frightened coon.

heavily, and are gradually withdrawing
from the market refusing altogether to
follow any advance. The bears claim that
