New York, February s--Atwood Violet &
Co say Of cotton
The advance today IN this market was so
extreme and unexpected as to lend to but
one conclusion, that the short interest in
some quarters must have covered on a very
large scale. Some three weeks ago we pres
dicted Cd at Liverpool by May J. next. but
we shall be at that within a few days our
prediction Of cents for summer months in
New York will be realized much sooner than
SO had looked for. The American cotton crop
has been cornered naturally and Europe
has nine long months to get their require
ments out OF this crop before the next one
shall be marketed. The advance In the mar
ket VIII be material anyhow, even from the
present prices, hut with adverse weather con
iitions this spring and summer. there would
be q great rise in the prices and what woulc
happen to the new crop months deponent saith

The slight increase In receipts al the norts

opinion upon the application of John Rid

sale of lots 80 and 81. block G. Todd G.
