cothra, g. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

BY GNbert IL Gay. -
New York September R.-The action
of the market today shows that 1t no
longer seems to be short OF cotton. Yes
terday a great deal Of pressure was
brought upon the market in order to
break prices and this selling proved only
temporarily successful. Today recov-
cry of about all the loss took place and
shorts showed more nervousness than
before, on this decline. The rally came
very easy and prices advanced more
rapidly than the decline yesterday. The
crop accounts now coming in are not
good AS to the truth, we are not In a
position to express an opinion. True or
false, they are going to have an influence
on sentiment. The market is well sold
out and over-sold. Cotton is coming in
slow and southern spinners are taking
all they can get. Northern spinners
would like to get hold of cotton. The
movement is too small to permit much
of a break at this time. We would not
have any misgivings about the policy of
buying on all breaks again and being
contented with small profits. We would
not advise short selling for a while.
