DEMERE AND HAMMOND
Say Liverpool IL Due to Come Down
on Old Months.

Savannah, Ca. April 23.-The cotton
market opened of from to 10 points
in sympathy with disappointing ca
bles. A fair demand. however. encour-
age to some extent perhaps by the
larger Liverpool spot sales. and re-
ports of a more active business in
print cloths slightly hardened prices.
The market stiffened up some on Eu-
ropean buying of old crop months, with
Groman House prominent in this con-
nection, and talk of further large ex-
ports to Europe, and more particularly
to Great Britain for next week. AS
has been the case, however, for some
time, the market finds very few buy
ers on any bulge outside of shorts,
and il took very small bulge this
morning to satisfy their appetite.
on the new crop reports from the
cotton belt were very conflicting. but
reports of milder weather in the cotton
belt were bearishly interpreted, and
sales to realize found buyers only at
concessions. The bears are going home
tonight confident of lower prices.
Liverpool is due to come down on
the old months and about 6 on the
new Monday.

j. III. PARKER e. CO.'S
Cotton Letter to Hayward, Wick &
Company.

New York, April 23.-There probably
never was a year when so much de-
pended upon favorable weather
throughout the whole cotton growing
section. 1t is one thing to plow up and
prepare land and apply fertilizers lib
orally, but quite another to cultivate
the extended acreage properly with
adverse weather conditions. Only those
who have raised cotton. and who know
the difficulty of keeping down grass
and weeds during a wet spring. even
on a small acreage, can realize the
task ahead of the ambitious South to-
day should a protracted wet spell set
in at any time between now and July
/. Should such conditions develop,
over cropping" will be the cry, and
fields will be abandoned on every hand,
simply and solely for lack of labor
to chop out the grass and weeds.
1t will thus be seen that those who
are so confidently selling the far
months short must be calculating on
perfect weather conditions to realize
their loudly expressed hopes of sub
stantial profits.

There was but little done yesterday
in the cotton market. both locally or
otherwise.
A half holiday suficed to make spots
stand still both locally and in other
rings.
There seemed 70 be an absolute lack
OF demand both In the spot. and on
the I. 0. b. market
The spot market was unchanged from
yesterday, and no sales were reported
at either call. Apathy also reigned in
the Z. o. b. clientele cotton on a ba-
sis Of good middhng was posted dull
at "A 5-l6 cents.
The general market closed dull. and
featureless demand is what is needed
and until IL comes an inert market is
found TO be the result.
Both New York and New Orleans
showed slight declines in futures.
The cables were. disappointing and
Liverpool slumped. II is a waiting
game these days and both producers
