DEMERE a HAMMOND
Say Market Can Now BE scnIped ON
Any Quick Move.

Savannah, April 1S.-The cotton mar
ket has been great puzzle to-day,
while bear sentiment still prevails.
There are many who believe the de-
cline has been sufficient for the time
being; there Is one notable feature,
that the decline below IA cents for
July to-day was effected by the bears
with as much uneasiness as the move
ment to IA cents was reached last
week. 1t is true that port receipts
are running larger, but this is sup
posed to be in view of foreign needs,
and that the cotton will be exported at
once.
The weekly weather report is ex-
pected to be quite bullish enough to
cause a rally, but no permanent adj
vance can be looked for until there is
more activity in the spot market, and
a full change of sentiment on part of
public.
This market can be probably
scalped on any quick move. Liverpool
claims that there is a healthy busi-
ness at Manchester, but the market
dominated by the local bear chowd.
On New York's close to-day Liver
pool is due to come unchanged to l TO
2 down Tuesday.

strongly Advise Letting Market
Alone at the Present Time.
New York. April 1S.-The market
looked this morning as though it
would break badly before the end of
the day, and the look did not belle the
situation. Selling was extensive and
as heretofore there seemed to be very
little demand for cotton.
The trouble is there is no demand
for cotton from Europe, and this is the
only place there is any demand to
come from. When Liverpool breaks as
it did this morning, and no buying APP
pears there is nothing to buy cotton
on. We cannot feel that there is a
sound basis for selling cotton short
and standing on the sale and yet We
do not want to buy cotton under the
present outlook.
This seems to be the time to look on
OF course prices are high and there is
the question of the crop, but still
there is no reason for selling cotton
simply on the price.
All the best opinion in the market is
against buying at the moment, and the
market looks lower.
After the price broke through IA
cents to-day there was every reason
to sell cotton. The tone was weak and
the buying not good. We would let
the market alone.

There was no change in the official

the day amounted to 166 casks, 81 of

Rosins-Rosins were firm, but a few
of the grades showed a change. Water

There were no sales reported at the

disposed of.
The receipts amounted to 1,176 bar

siderably larger than usual aggregated
1000 barrels.

The cotton market both in futures
and spots, showed decided downward
trend yesterday. The aspect of things
was weak, and there was a bear pres
sure both in Liverpool and the Amer
lean rings.
The spinners are still holding off, and
there seems to be but little immediate
demand for the actual stuff.
The frosts which were predicted for
the cotton belt on Saturday and sun
day nights did not materialize, and this
gave the bulls another set back.
The port receipts for the day were
larger than usual. but this did not
seem to have very much effect upon
the market.
Traders seemed nonplussed and be-
tween quotations discussed the majors
case, and whether the City Exchange
corner stone had been lost, destroyed
or stolen" Some were inclined TO
think that futures would go lower,
while others were equally as pro-
nounced in their views that the bottom
rung of the ladder has been reached
There was no business reported on
the local spot, and no sales were post
ed. Quotations were chalked up nom
inal, lower to sell, but there seemed to
be no bidders. The export business
was practically nothing.
Everything was at a standstill in
the TO. b. market, and exporters, as a
rule, stood aloof. The market opened
and closed steady at 143sc, on a basis
OF good middling.

Cotton Letter, 20 Hayward Wick &
Company.
New York, April 1S.-There was not
much snap to Liverpool this morning,
but neither was there much of a de-
cline until after our market opened
with pronounced weakness. The loss
here was so much out of proper ton
that straddle operators had an OPP
portunity to buy in shorts here, and
sell out longs in Liverpool. This lat
ter process naturally caused Liverpool
to follow our decline, for at no time
was there any disposition on the part
of that market to lead in the display
of weakness. on to-day's decline there
was another opportunity to sell to adj
vantage hedged cotton and some lots
are reported to have changed hands.
There is, however, no general demand
from spinners, who are disposed to
hold off in the hope that the present
bearish manipulation may give them
another opportunity to buy cheap cot
ton.
1t would seem that the short interest

1T means that the New England mill
ers have control of the New York Cot

Southern planter to even get a produc-
ing price for his cotton, and would
gladly squeeze him down to cents if
they could. Time was, when Liverpool
controlled the cotton market of the
world, then the scene shifted to New
York, and now the South is in the sad
die to stay. The metropolitan cotton
traders know this, and because Mr..
Majors is friend of Sully's, they are

cotton soaring again. You can
