 (By Private Wire from Gibert & Clay.)
 New Orleans. March 22.-In Liverpool the belief obtains that spinners having supplied themselves uberally. will be more indiffer- ent purchasers of spot cotton It is stated sales are no longer made with east and the market acts tired Opening prices were low CT than logically due by two or three Eng fish points. and finally closed at the bot tom. options and spots declining six points. with sales of 5000 bales of the latter.
 continuance of conditions almost iden- tical with those of yesterday resulted in a similar decline in our market Recent East ern buyers were sellers. receipts large, Liv- erpool disappointing and 8 smaller demand for actual cotton combined with free offer ings. Reports fail to confirm ideas of a large decrease in fertilizer and weather as a whole is not such as to seriously interfere with farm work. With the bear arguments as prominent and for the most part affect ing the present, and the bulls indefinite and largely prospective. it was not surpris- ing that traders accepted the selling side of the market as most liable to include sat- isfactory returns
 D There is nothing at the moment to sug- gest that the decline has eliminated, at the same time are inclined to think that a materially lower level good buying will de- velop. Mills may temporarily curtail their buying. but there is every evidence of a large consumption. and opportunities to stock up at advantageous prices will not be overlooked.

to insure their participation in the
meet. Negotiations are now under
way with view to holding the meet
July 4 at Eewanee. and unless this can
be arranged it is probable that it will
be postponed until some later date.
Other Invitations
Had Rock Island received notice
earlier of the inability of Muscatine to
entertain the athletes there. several
cher urgent invitations might have
been considered Bloomington has a

the Y. NJ. C. a. to either participate or
arrange a meet TO be held in couneC-

Kewanee some weeks ago made such
a request, asking that the meet he held
there in connection with a fraternal
celebration. The invitation was de
clined. as the date was being reserved
for MusCatine II would be readily
accepted now. and Mr.. Earl hopes to
receive favorable replay from the
