COTTON FUTURES.

New York, April 22.-The cotton

pressure, following rather lower ca

of more favorable weather and a pros
pect for bearish insight statement.
AS has been the case of late there
seemed to be some buying of May for
the account of spot interests at the
decline, and this served to check the
decline somewhat while it also pro-
NOTED some covering.
Notwithstanding this, however, this
market for the first few minutes show
ed further weakness and. increased the
losses to a matter of from to Is
points, with July selling down to 1880,
against 14.05c on the previous night
This, followed by a series of very
narrow and irregular fluctuations with
trading very quiet and limited almost
entirely to the scalping contingent
New Orleans did not appear to be do
ing anything in the local market and
the demand noted for May at the open
ing seemed to peter out" soon after
the call.
Estimates for to-morrows receipts
at leading points were rather full from
a bullish standpoint, but under last
years figures, and the into-sight
for the week proved quite as bearish
as had been anticipated 1t appeared
to have been discounted, however, for
the market during the afternoon ruled
fairly steady, being finally steady at
a net decline of SOLO points, the clos
ing figures being within two or three
points of the best for the session, with
room shorts showing a disposition to
cover, although a bearlsh visible sup
ply statement is expected tomorrow.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
Exports for the day were heavy.

New York, April 22.-Liverpool this
morning showed the effect of sales there
against spot purchases made yesterday
on this side. but the decline was not
material Exports to-day from New
Orleans alone were 21,0OO bales, and
further heavy shipments are expect
ed next week. We have already called
attention to the rapid diminution in
the stocks at all United States ports.
Only two weeks ago they were ITO. 900
in excess of last year, while now they
are barely 10000 greater Weather ac-
counts are more favorable Warm
rains, where needed, are reported, and
we may expect to hear good crop ac-
counts for some time to come 1t is
natural under such circumstances to
expect the public to hold off, and leave
the situation in control of the bear
element which, as we have seen, is
apt to take an aggressive stand when
ever conditions favor it. Some spot
business was put through in the South.
which is but natural, when the ex-
cellent hedge offered by Liverpool is

moderate demand for either product.
Spirits were officially quoted at 54%c

The continued cold weather is having
the effect of keeping considerable new
turpentine back that would otherwise
have made it's appearance.
The sales of spirits were 157 casks,
receipts, 2SS casks, and exports, 525
casks.
Resins: There was no change in any
of the rosin grades, and a very light
demand for the stuff at either call. In
fact, not single barrel was reported
sold in the morning, but in the after
noon 220 barrels changed hands.
The receipts of rosins aggregated L.
