ment of better prices than they had
reckoned on for their supplies.
The firmness of the Southern mark
ets has been n feature and there is an
Increased disposition to notice one i'm
portant factor which has not received
the attention it really deserves This
IS the absorption of the surplus in the
southern States, which have in late
years developed an enormous cotton mill
industry of their own, the result of de-
mand from this source in the present
season being the practical absorption of
inc surplus cotton in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia.
Thus far indications as to the acreage
OF the new crop furnished by sales of fer
tllizers in the older Southern States
have been favorable. The decrease re-
ported in this connection is significant
so far at least as those sections are con-
cCrned. although it does not, of course.
cut any figure as to what Texas will
do in the way of increased production
Tor the coming season.
The crop movement continues to he
heavy, but this fails to produce the bear
ish effect that it did earlier in the sea-
son. Indeed. the resistance which has
been shown not only to the factors
which were so effective in depressing
prices Il short time ago, ans well as to the
speculative nervousness created by the
Maine disaster, has been gratifying. In
the absence of further Spanish compiled
tons the market presents greater posi-
bilities for a rise than for decline.

New York, Feb. 19.-Dullness ana re-
dictionary tendencies in the cotton marx
ct were temporarily increased by the
disaster to the Maine. At the same
time the market stood the liquidation

presented evidences that at decline the
LATENT buying power, both for investment
and from consumers, was not SLOW 10

efforts on the part of professionals 10
shake the newly regained confidence OF
the bulls in cotton have been Il misera-
BILE failure. and have, indeed, given
grounds for a better feeling as to the
stability of the situation. 1t may he
pointed out that estimates of the worlds
probable requirements of cotton for
manufacturing purposes continue to in
crease at present and that the desire for
lower prices, which is so plainly shown
in the English market, is the reflection
of a large unsatisfied demand. AS was
pointed out last week the English spin
mers' over-confidence in the effects of
our enormous yield has simply been car
ried to an extreme and placed them in
Il position where, in any candid mind
the only possible outcome is the pay.
