that the crop was making poor stands in

New York. May 19.-Hubbard Bros e.
co. say Of cotton: THE approach Of the
Whtsuntide holidays, which are more
closely observed in the manufacturing dis
tricts of England than the Easter holidays
reduced the transactions in the markets
20 small proportions and fluctuations to a
minimum, as none care to be short and
the inducements to buy IN face Of the
large supply and good crop advices, the
market is practically left 10 itself Ev-
eryone hopes for some curiailment in the
supply through a small yield this season
a condition OF mind seldom seen at this
season Of the year. This IN itself Is quite
enough to sustain prices, and when coup.
led with the good trade advices is sufficient
to prevent any pressure from the large
accumulation OF cotton in the American
markets. our own stock now Is 1000,
bales larger than last season, with little
hope Of any immediate decrease"
