country are very psssimistic and dis
ccuraging. but the same is not alto

la fact our advices during past two

New York. June 4.-The report placed
the condition at Sc. and the increase
in acreage at about 10 per cent. The
effect upon prices was decided, October

was weak. There seemed to be no
buying power. no demand .ur cotton.
there was few who looked for condition
ever 81. so that the figures were sur

condition as given is above the actual
promise OF the crop at this date. AL
this viii come into play later on. For
the present the report is likely 20 bring
about heavy pressure and the entire
sentiment OF the cotton industry has
changed so in two months that no buy
ing power exists. This IS a fact and
must be recognized. This IS the rea-
son the people have not Sasn advised
TO buy cotton for higher prices: there
is nothing in sight TO bull cotton on.
Bears are in the saddle and there is no
use doing anything TO oppose the prog
