cOTToN's STRONG POSITION.

The cotton market is still very firm,

been made recently to bring about a de
cline.
The statistical position OF the South $
great product is stronger today than 1t
has been in several years, and all the
exaggerated crop estimates and widely
circulated reports OF cotton being boarded
have not been able TO offset the fact that
the world Is consuming the staple during
the marketing season Just about as fast
as II comes forward.
Thus far little less than Ave million
bales have been brought into sight in the
United States. Naturally there Is great
deal of cotton yet to he moved. Four
million bales more must appear at the
ports and large interior towns In order to
make the crop oven nine million bales,

three months of the year were nearly a
million bales less than for the same
period last season. This means that the
foreigners have bought very sparingly in
the hope that prices would decline. Eng
lish spinners have been especially Stub

ton have been only about one-haif the
amount bought during the same period
last year. and the total stock in Great
Britain today is only 5000 bales. with
