sueeze of the Bears Forces the Price
Down By Degrees. Receipts Not
Heavy and Substantial Reaction is
Sure to Come.

For the first time in several weeks
the price of cotton in Americas drop
ped yesterday down to eight cents,
though by a small fraction. The con-
tinual hammering and squeezing of the
market by the bear element at the
great cotton centers, beginning last
Thursday, has thus had the effect of
forcing the price down more than a
half cent pound in three days, and
the end is not yet, They evidently
place little faith in the Bureau esti-
mate, or at all events have been able
since it's publication 10 manipulate the
market to suit themselves Receipts
are not unusually heavy, but the large
buying houses are staying ont of the
market, while prices r, 4de by degrees.
However, a healthy reaction will come
eventually, and this at no distant date,
when cotton will go to higher level
than it has rerehed this season. In the
Americus market "the top" paid yes
terday was cents, while receipts were
comparatively light.
