Less speculative interest shown III cot
ton to-day than for many months Inc
hesitation was marked all along the line.
After the first call had opened at an ad-
vance of 3ui points in near months, an
easier feeling prevailed for a time. Liqui-
dation OF certain long interests followed
weaker advices from the Stock Exchange
and the Produce Exchange. IL was re-
ported that some Wall-street holdings IN
cotton were being sold OFT. and the Pro-
duce Exchange spectators were unload
ing. fearing that the market had been
| overbought The shorts picked up 1T
| tie coura &c and sold, but all hands SEEM
| ed uneasy after the market had made q
net loss OF 3G5 points, and the maj
phases Of the local situation indicated
/ a nervous mood on the part OF bears ana
| bulls alike, owing 10 very bad Nearner
reports from the cotton belt, tending 10
show that neld-wOrk OF any kind was
! impossible, ana indicating the OBSTRUCTION
| OF whatever might remain OF unpicked
| cotton. In addition 70 this, adviccs from
! southern spot markets We're OF fayOr-
! able character, as were the later udvlcos
| from spinners and cOtton-cl0th markets,
! while port receipts. as well as the IN
! terror receipts. were light. Adyices along
the line were strongly bullisn, II being
claimed that for the remainder 0i the
J season the movement would develop the
! fact that the proportion or the cotton
! already marketed 10 the total crop had
been unusually large. Good parties had
| adyices 10 this effect, and the undertOno
| OF the local market was by no means
weak Some parties, already heavily
long, took advantage OF to-days setback
| 10 increase their lines on cotton. The
| market was finally steady, with prices
, point lower 10 points higher.
