The most important financial event
of the week was the successful flota-
tion of the New York City bonds. This
overshadowed the movements in the
stock market, which consisted of con
siderable speculative liquidation fol
lowed by some recovery.
The Importance of the New York
City bond sale lies in the fact that it

tinued exports of cotton at high

This week there has seen some lull
in the volume of orders placed fo1
goods with English spinners, but this
is due mainly to the fact that the
mills are booked largely ahead.
The overflow Of the demand continues
to spread to the continent and this
week there were purchases at one point
in Alabama of 1900 bales of cotton
for French spinners. and on another
day 10000 bales were cleared for their
account at q Texas port.
While the south is experiencing The
