cargill & Richardson say OF cotton /:

Liverpool gave us very encouraging
market this morning. closing 1-64d higher
on contracts. with sales OF 1900 on the spot
In our markets there was an absence OF
spect lative buying, although prices held
steady all day, New York closing to 2 points
higher than last Light, and New Orleans to
up Spots unchanged. Considerable change
OF sentiment has taken place In the trade
centers lately, and where few days since
there were many pronounced bears now the
majority are converted TO the bull side Con-
tinued buying. however, will be necessary
to give us an advance or even to maintain
present values and until this comes we can
hardly expect any material change. Receipts
at the ports as well as estimates for tomor-
row were comparatively light and the wealth
er now turning bad again should give con
tirued dropping of. Spots are neglected from,
abroad with the hope of laying in supplie,
at lower range OF values. While the interior
say they have nothing much to OFFER We

excellent company of comedians,
played the comedy entitled
"Woman VS.. Woman" last night

though having been seen here
several times before, was given
the closest attention. Mr.. Todd,
who is one of the cleverest and
most original comedians that has
exhibited here of late, kept the
audience in a continuous laugh
by his many funny sayings and
grotesque acting. His makeup
was a marvel of inventive genius
and the effect on the audience
was like laughing gas.
