The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-03-02

New Orleans, March Liverpool was
disappointing owing to the large offer
ings of spots from America and reports
OF trade getting worse on the continent.
Bremen cables stated that Bavaria, West
phalia and Stuttgart were holding a
meeting regarding short time and that
the weaving industry in Alsace was al
most completely at a standstill, many
mills having already closed. Our market
responded by opening to points lower,
declined to add tional on the large inte-
rior receipts, reacted from the bottom on
shorts covering closing with a net loss
of to IL points on the day. The twenty
nine leading interior towns received dur
ing the week $1,000, against $1,000 last
year and 1900 year before last. The
stock held by these points aggregate 6S4,-
900 this year. against $4,000 last year and
437 600 year before last. Therefore, with
these facts of excessive holdings in the
counted interior towns it is not delusive
for short-crop advocates to claim that
the numerous uncounted towns hold less
than last year, when all advices received
from these places are to the effect that
their stocks are generally havier than last
season. Textile trade is undoubtedly I'M
satisfactory throughout the world, being
brought about by the price of raw cot
ton. as compared to the low price OF the
manufactured product, spinners claiming
they are receiving no more for their
goods now than when they bought raw
cotton for two and a half to three cents
a pound cheaper.

to IL Points.
New York, March 1.-The long interest
in the local cotton market was cut down
considerably to-day, and the short inter
est increased proportionately, the out
growth of pronounced break in prices and
supremacy of bearish influences. The
English cables were disappointing, reflect
ing feeble undertone and a decline Of
nearly two points in prices. Acting in
conjunction with the foreign news was
a rumor that Southern markets were
heavy under offerings of staple held for
weeks for higher prices. Receipts too,
were excess of expectations, while mill
received in weeks.
The opening was steady with prices off
to points, under light foreign and fairly
active local general selling. Soon after
the call the market showed marked lean
ing towards lower prices, and before mid
day feverish liquidation with confident
bear selling, had increased the loss a
matter of to II points on active months.
The afternoon developments were bear
