WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
COTTON HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT
OF PRESSURE ALI THE WEEK.
MANY CAUSES HAVE TENDED
TO HELP THE BEARS IN THEIR
FIGHT.
nv Associated PreSs.)

New York, Feb. 10.-Cotton has
been subject to pressure all the week,
NOT only from bad advices from Liv-
erpool, telling of poor trade and fall
;ng quotations, but also from such
things as a manifest decline in Ian
cashire trade. The plague and famine
in China, which has called forth
measures of relief from the Ameri-
can government, an almost unterrupt-
ed decline in the price Of bar silver
thus correspondingly restricting the
huving power of the Far East and
finally from continued large receipts,
the big available supply in the world,
of a size seldom equalled at this time
Of the year, and last but far from
least. the occurrence of much needed
rains in many parts Of Texas, where
farmers moreover, are said to be un-
usually we'll advanced with their
spring work and to show a DISPOSE
ton to increase the acreage by break
ing up soil, never hitherto devoted
TO cotton. There has been steady
liquidation also both at home n
abroad. Stale long have
been thrown overheard by disguised
pulls in various parts OF the coun-
try. Some large spot interests have
been selling. The reports Of trade
from New England are not favorable
The mills in that section are said to
be quietly reducing their output be-
cause Of unsatisfactory quotations
and the persistent slOWneSs Of trade.
The spinner, too, shows a DISPOSE
ton to hold aloof, being afraid to buy
raw material in a falling market, and
being naturally nervous from a fear
of becoming loaded with costly cotton
in a poor market for goods. Eng
fish spinners are supposed to be car
rying very heavy supplies. The be-
lief is general that the next acreage
at the South will be very large. under
the stimulus of SO relatively high a
price as $50 a bale or more The
weather as we'll as the acreage must
settle the problem as to the size Of
the next yield. The price has recent
y fallen something like IS a bale,
many weak long accounts have been
wiped out, the technical speculative
position undoubtedly has been
strengthened thereby and ~LfverpooIs
week suddenly swelled to a. large to-
tai. also it is predicted that the re-
ceipts in the near futures. possibly
next week, will show a sharp falling
off. The short interest has naturally
increased on the decline. Spinners
have bought tO some eNtent and
large spot interests also nave pur-
chased.
1t is pointed out, too, that some Of
these spot interests have rarely been
defeated or the bull side Of the mar
ket whatever may have happened to
them when they espoused the cause
of the bears. Some leading bulls have
given support from time to time. 1t
is felt on all sides that whether tenn
pOrary or otherwise a rally is due
after so pronounced a decline.

Signs Of Improvement continue To

THE condition Of the money and in
Nestment markets has served TO in
spire greater confidence in the indus
tries and trades, and especially in the
iron and steel industry. in which there
are unmistaka bic proofs pending OF
interest and activity, particularly in
finished products. The building out
look brightens p~erceptibly as spring
approaches and there is a good pros
pect of much new construction.
There is practically no hange in
footwear Onditions. Jobbers are for
Warding some few small orders but
there is no general buying movement
IL progress. The markets in hides and
leather show considerably less actiy-
ity than previously. Lower raw mate
rial has caused ease in some lines OF
cotton goods in the primary markets,
but brown drills aud sheetings hold
steadicr than print cloth arm fabrics
| and the mills are increasing curtail-
ment steadily, that at Fall River at
present amounting to about $4,000
pieces Of print cloths a week. The
trading in dress goods and mems wear
for fall is along conservative lines.
Certain lines of silks are in steady
