Loveman & Co.'S Market letter.

New Orleans. August 21.-The opening
of the calendar week found Liverpool
and Manchester still trying to solve the
problem. how to get cheap cotton" Ac-
cording to press cables English spinners
have been discussing the advisability of
boyeotting American raw cotton, as II
such ridiculous scheme would be prac-
ticable. This is another bigaboo put
afoat the threatened but unintend-
ed strike In England having failed
of its purpose. Spot sale at Liver
pool today were only 1000 bales. but as
the weekly consumption of Great Britain
Is about Il. 600 bales the mills in the Brit
ish Isles are really consuming 1900 bales
per day. In other words spinners In the
United Kingdom are actually drawing on
their reserves to the extent of 5000 bales
per day In addition to their daily takings
from the visible supply, which have
averaged about 1000 bales per day for the
past seven weeks. Therefore, It Is reas-
enable to suppose that their reserve
stocks are about reduced to as low a
level as they possibly can be without
compelling spinners to lay in supplies for
their future requirements. We are look
ing forward 10 the not far distant day
when increased spot sales In the English
market will tell of their want from sheer
necessity The final census report on cot
ton ginned during the past season showed
the actual growth to have been only 49,
693.279 bales against general expectations
of 1900 900 bales.
