The following are extracts from NELL Bros
circular, dated London. April Is. 1899:
Exports-The imitation of prices in America,
caused by estimates of the crop going so low
40 l0,5OQ'oOO bales and by the speculative boom
rigging in New York, has at last had its logitl-
mite effect-thst of stopping the European de-
nand, reducing the exports to 256. 900 bales for
the four weeks, against 59sOOO last year, and
increasing the stock in the American ports
and interior towns to the largest figures
known at this season for many years. With
the large stocks both in the European ports
arc at the mills, spinners feel perfectly easy

beginning to be a pressing one as 10 how
America will be able to dispose of the remain
