COMMENTS ON COTTON MARKET

| were bearish The free covering by shorts
and fresh buying occasloned a rally Of 10
points from the bottom, but realizing
caused a slight recession near tho close,
Masking the net gain ] point on the day.
The twenty nine leading Interior towns
during tho week received 2slpO bales,
against 10000 last year. Excluding Hous'
ton, whore all the decrease comes in, the
other towns are 1900 bales In excess or
last year. The amount brought into sight
during the week WAS $4,000 bales, against
400, 600 last year. and the total marketed
10 date has been $4,000 bales, against
3,5S1 900 last year
2;b,O00 nales during the past seven days,
against an increase OF only $1,000 last year,
q relative gain of 10000 and the aggregate
to date which has been running under last
wear, is now 1900 bales In excess.
The total stock ashore and anoat OF Amor
lean I'm Liverpool is $4,000 bales, against
65T. 600 last year or dehcit Of only $1,000.
From the above Il will be seen that the
fear Of a scarcity Of supply In Liverpool
has been dispclled. and IT also. demon
stratcd that the visible supply or Amer,
can IS gaining over Inst year having wiped
out the deficiency and Is now 1900 bales
in excess. This feature proves exclusively
that splnners are taking sparlnsly. cor,
robornnng the reports of unsatisfactory
textile trade conditions In Europe.
Therefore. as the statistical situation is
growing weaker daily, the holding back OF
cotton I'm Texas does not warrant any per
1nanent advance when We consider the
apathy Of spinners. and the dlscouraglng
outlook for the disposition of the manu-
foctured product II is well known that
stocks arc very large In the Interior, con
seguently N the movement decreases de-
cldediy. Il will be brought about by the
lack Of demand or holders refusing to meet
the decline while this may materialize
and be instrumental In temporarily main
taining values It will ultimately he weak
