Hunter "a Co.'s Weekly Cotton Letter
Liverpool responded to our weakness OF
yesterday with break OF 2'6iths. New Orr
leans opened at last nights prices and was
inclined to rally. but New York opened
points lower aud further declined to
points, and New Orleans reluctantly followed.
May selling at 5.5i and August at 500, from
which there was a slight rally. The liquda-
ton which assumed such large proportions
yesterday was continued today, ana holders
of everything sacrificed their property, aud
the selling fever extended like prairie hire
and swept everything before 1t. The bears
were In their gloiy, And Nori I'd hard to re-

Tires. May wheat alone OF all speculative
products and securities held ita own FOL the
simple reason that the option practically be-
longs TO one man. and he has all others
afraid OF him. There is but one thing that
we think worthy OF mention In legitimate
wty, and that Is the bank statement, which
was bearsh and showed tbat preparations
were being made by banks and capitalists In
the East, and important moRes centers, for
the wtrst that could happen In the Cuban
being called In. and conservative business
men are working close TO shore whilo the
better class OF commission houses advised
their customers to trade with caution and re-
duce their lines. This naturally resulted in
closing out q great many trades. We have
more respect for the action OF the markets
than for the opinions OF any man or set OF
men, and while many adyices from the best
sources are being received that the very worst
has been discounted. and that cotton Is a pur-
chase, and while we believe this ourselves,
still we thought the same way yesterday
and were wrong, and it looks like something
is about to develop In the political muddle
