Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

The ginners report G yesterday had as
much effect on European markets as 1t
did upon markets in America, Liverpool
closing at decline of about 20 points
for futures and at a loss of 20 points on
spots sales of which were 10000 bales
middling at IS 63d. To have witnessed
~ cents in the English market. especial
ly at so early In the season, must have
been revelation to the cotton interests
of the world as trade In the United
Kingdom is reported as being exception
ally good, and 3%d was the minimum
level at which 1t was thought possible
for this crop to sell at In England.
Weekly trade letters received from
abroad the past week have been, without
exception, looking for crop of not less
than 100000 bales, yet every one Of
them contained expression most favora-
BILE to the market In event of actual cot
ton declining to about 4d at Liverpool.
To offset these conditions a report was In
circulation today to the effect that spin
ners of the world had already purchased
and contracted for nearly the entire
years requirements, when as matter
Of fact spinners' takings of the world up
ta last Friday were only 100000 bales
out of a possible providing they can Sc
cure 11,700,0OO, around these prices the
world will most probably take every bale
of II 100000 bales If it can be had, II not
for consumption for investment.

cothran & CO.'S Market letter.

The effect of ginners report had not
all been spent yesterday. This morning
further declines of 10 to Is points were
scored and the market showed about as
little resistance at 675 for May as 1t did
at 10 $40 or 9.0. OF course this Is al
Nays the way. The market will look
sickest the day it reaches the bottom
for the year or may be for years to come.
But it must be admitted that the mar
ket was very, very weak and that In
ducements to buy were few as far as
the situation went. 1t is simply a ques-
tion of time now. No one knows but
that prices will go lower than ever be-
fore, and we may see cents just as peo-
pie are talking. But there Is never any
guide in such a market as this and all
one knows is that cotton is selling below
the cost of production and that from
this price some day there will be big
money In cotton as an investment
There is no indictment to buy as a
speculation unless the buyer intends to
follow the market down and is willing to
stay There is no longer any bull factor
in cotton. There is too much of this
years crop.
Planters will have cotton to sell on
every rally But there is nothing In the
world to prevent a rally here some day
that will startle shorts. We will have
H. though no one can say just when. II
is the time to use caution and on good
break to buy.
