Lay issued the following circular:
w Lo cotton market advanced to 1850
sst some three weeks ago we strongly
our friends to accept profits on the
n they hold aud have been disposed as
lst OF them know, TO expect decline THIS
sxpectaton was based upon our knowledge OF
tho fact that there was an exceptionally large
speculative long interest In Liverpool, which
did not represent the purchases of consumers
and the liquidation OF which seemed to w
Inevitable In view OF the niercurinl character
Of the people who were reputed 10 hold ~
This long interest has now been liauidaten,
the Liverpool market having been M con
dillon OF great decentralization today, ceiling at
one time some S-G4d below the prices OF
Saturday
our cables advised that the liquidation has
been fairly complete and when we como again
to study the legitimate facts of tho stua
tlcn, there does not seem 10 is at the moment
any justification for further decline n
cotton. There Is no real pressure to sell
actual cotton. Any selling pressure comes
entirely when II does come from an aggre-
gated long interest for the liquidation OF which
the shrewd operator must watch. With this
long interest llquidntcd aud out OF the way
attestion Is ngain turned to tho statistical
facts Of the situation.
The visible supply. of cotton as made up
by the Financial Chronicle on Friday last
was 2,959723 balos. These figures compare
with 1901 900 In 1897 when cotton sold at sac,
with 3,iS9, 600 IN 1896 when cotton sold ~
SIC. and with 2e3g00O in 1890, when cotton
gnld at i2Mc. and when the present visible
supply 8 considered IN connection with tho
light atncls IN Liverpool and the enormously
expanded consumption 1t would seem that
cotton was certainly worth present prices
II not more. Calculating only twenty-three
weeks from now until the lst of September
and the worlds requirements az 210,000 bales
weekly, the total is 100000 bales. ASSUMING
that from now until tho end OF the season
we shall receive Of American cotton l,2O0,QQ)
bales. which is rather more than most ueope
expect tho addition to tho visible supply VIII
Give us only 4l01.00D bales, as against pros
puctiVe requirements OF l,S30000 bales. AS
the worlds visible and invisible supply can
not he reduced possibly below l.500 600 bales
1t would seem that the price TO which cot
ton must 80 IN order to check consumption
has not yet been reached
