south should Hold.

New York cotton house says:
Tho South will soon avail itself Of tho
conditions that are now growing stronger.
namely, an increasing spot demand in this
country with q very small amount Of cotton
.ooming into sight daily and no prospects of
ANY considerable increase In the near future
If tho South should begin TO hold back its
cotton at plantations aud at the small In
terror towns for higher prices il certainly
would seem as though II were quite possible
for them to secure the advantage TO be
brought about by not parting Immediately
with their cotton when ready for market
but to let II 70 gradually just MS they did
last fall The happy results following such
course was then seen, and having this profit
able experience before them. It seems most
likely they will continue M the same course
during the next four or five months.

A PecnIinr Market.

cargtn & Richardson say: The weather
map this morning showed rains at every
district signal station in the cotton belt
and the Atlanties got full share, which
should relieve them and cause an improved
condition TO the cotton plant. II seems strange
that the market should advance time aud
again on dry weather reports from those
districts, and when rains come advance FUR
Their. but that's the nature OF the beast.
1t is probable that Texas had more 10 do with
the Improvement in the market today tnan
the other States, as rain fell all over the
State yesterday, and private adylces reporting
continuance today will drive pickers from
the felds. and delay the already tardy move
ment Of cotton. We need rains In some
sections OF Texas, but dry weather will suit
better, all hands from the picker to the
spinner who is Just as anxious TO get his
hands on few bales of cotton as the negro
is Jew dollars.
New York broker who II Is rumored, Is
acting for noted plunger who had a world
wide reputation in cotton last season. and
who stopped short account OF inability
70 margin bis contracts, was good buyer
today. Houston expects 1873 bales tomorrow.
