Loveman g. Co.'S Market Letter.

Liverpool spot sales today although
amounting to 1900 bales at an advance
of 2 points seemed small by comparison
with the large totals reported on previous
DAYS This together with tho disappoint-
ing course of futures in that market
caused our market to open quiet and 3 to
points down. Shortly after the opening
there was buying squirt which carried
prices as high as 10 94 for May. Lack of
a good spot demand, however, resulted II
an easier tendency and the market grad
ualy declined until May sold as low as
10. ST. during the late afternoon session.
Shorts covered to some extent before tho

the day of 13 to "A points. Spots were Of

amounted to 100 bales of spots and $50

for middling. There were no deliveries
on contract Liverpool called halt on
the advance today. The only bnllish fea-
ture In the local market was the weekly
statistics. but these had been already
discounted and as the spot demand was
somewhat inactive there was nothing
much to encourage fresh speculative buy
ing which was needed to offset bearsh
operations Improved weather conditions
also favored the short side. spell of
good weather now would greatly Increase
bearish sentiment, which has lately been
on the wane, and would probably lead to
considerable short selling both of the old
and the new crop positions. This woul
only add to the large short interest which
we think still exists in the market and
consequently we favor the long side, be-
lieving that the good trade demand will
eventually outweigh all other influences

for the new crop. There was an easier
tendency today, however the market ut

as last nights close, May having opene
at 1O.9l advanced to 1924, declined To
10 ST and finally closing at 1872 compared
with TO- % at the close yesterday.
Liverpool was somewhat disappointing
in futures and the spot sales were some

decidedly queter and tnat splnners were
fully covered by futures.
Weather conditions were more favora-

forecast was for a continuation of sucn
