NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York. April 6.-'rhe cotton mar
ket opened steady, with prices . points
lower TO points higher, following fa-
vorable Liverpool cables. After the
opening the general list levelcd up to
an advance of 4G7 points on yester-
days prices. partly OH the strength of
the Liverpool cotton statement which
had Enthusiastically bullish significance.
After waiting in vain for the Wall
street contingent TO renew their recent
buying tactics, some of the room opera
tors commenced to sell, in the absence
of outside or public support, and the
market eased off 7G10 points from the
best figures of the morning Selling
was accelerated by generally favorable
crop and weather accounts and also by
reports of weakness in Southern spot
markets. At most, however, it was a
narrow market, with the local hesita-
ton increased by unsatisfactory ac-
counts from the dry goods market
which pointed a materially smaller cali
for cotton goods. The market was final

New York, April 6. 1900.
Price. Mccormick 6 Co., in their to-
days circular say:
According to the New Orleans state
ment the visible supply shows a decrease
as compared with last week of IS, GOO
bales. The amount Of cotton In sight, in
GLIDING tho corrections made at the cno
of the months 1l7,0o0 bales, showing that
week from tho amount of cotton avail
able. The visible supply of American cot
ton tonight is 2.625 900 bales, which is
smaller visible supply than We have had
at any time since 1880 when with n con-
sumption about fifty per cent less than
at present cotton went to 12ai cents. 1t
looks as IL the world was fast running in
to n natural corner and there is no reason
In our opinion why those who hold the
remnant of this crop should sell 1t be-
low ten cents per pound At the present
rate OF absorption every bale in existence
will have disappeared before the first of
August. and prices must go to a point
that will check consumption. At present
consumption Is apparently undiminished.
Vigorous efforts have been made by ox-
porting firms in Now York during the
past two days to break the market in the
hope that they may secure the cotton they
require moro cheaply, hut the impression
that has ben made upon IL is triflinG. and
the addition 10 the short interest is ut
least 100000 bales. The short interest i'm
August contracts alone in New York. we
estimate at 100000 bales.
