I.nYRMAN k CO.'S COTTON LETTER.


 CBy Private Wire from H. & B. BeerA New Orleans, Feb. II. Unfavorabl~ weather developed over night general rains being reported from the Gulf States and as | the official forecast was for continuance of such conditions west of the Mississippl fai in 'GhS the temperaSre @ of about 10 degrees | in the northern portion of the belt anu to about 20 degrees along the Gulf coast, a higher instead of an expected lower market was today the result. The worlds visible supply was very bearish on American, spin ners of the world having taken but 21i0O0 bales during the past week, against Sl5,- | 900 last year. which made 1t possible for the visible stocks of the world to show de, crease for the waek of only 7600O compared with decrease of 9S.Oo0 one year ago, not withstanding weeks jn-Eight to have been pared with 217. 900. The great shrinkage in spinners takings of late is confined prin- l cipally to New England and the continent | ed but 44,0O0 during the past seven days, compared with S1.0U0 last year, while the continent d So LOOK IancSssteT however is Go ing an exceptionally good business, prln- cipally for India, English spinners having | drawn against Llverpoofs stock during the past week to the extent of S3,000 compared with 53,000 last year. sales therefore Tor the period amounting to 76.00O American, compaTed with 80, GOO last year. Private ad- vices from Liverpool are rather friendly to the market. thinking prices near the accounts from Lancashire, and the opinion was expressed %that Manchester would De active for some time to come; Conditions | as reports from the dry goods division of the market are to the effect that notwthstand- | ing the recent firmer tone of the raw ma teriaI several varieties of cotton goods have been reduced. and that the market develop | ed much irregularity. Instead or stlmulat- | ing business expected the concessions have caused buyers to act with increased | conservatism. It may be that the conti- nent of Europe is affected in the same way. as their holdings of American are only s7O, ,0OO against 714.O0O one year ago. and there appears to be no anxiety to stock up with raw material. The market of the past week having been governed by weather conditions. the course of values next week will probably be influenced one way or the other by weather developments which, at moment remains unsettled, the coming | of a cold wave will probably be followed by fair weather.
