COTTON GOSSIP

call, which was thought TO have been

done with view Of depressing the list
further. then take on cotton, because
he sold very little.
The buying came from commission
houses and scattered short covering.
Sentiment continues against an ad-
vance.
No spot weakness here and advices
from interior towns show spots well heId
with only some hedged cotton selling on
future basis.
Official weights for season average at
close Of January 5Zl.73, against 525.93
pounds last year: Texas 53C % against
Alabama SET 20, against 5;S.77 Georgia

The New Orleans Times Democrat
says The cotton market seems to
have paused for further information. af-
ter decline of some 90 points The
trade want to see whether receipts at
ports and interior towns are to continue
on the scale which has raised doubts
concerning the size of the crop, though
the census figures make II certain that
no decisive error can have occurred.
Then, again, II is important to know
whether spinners' takings are TO fall off
or remain big enough to absorb the
remnant, on any reasonable theory Of
the yield. As regards spinners' takings,
II is probable that comparisons will
henceforth be much less bearish than
they were yesterday nor is II likely that
the South will rush the remnant for
ward, irrespective of prices Stories from
the fields will soon begin to occupy the
rings and viii exert an ever-inCrcaSing
influence on values.
There is already a good deal OF talk
about bad seed. and a prolonged spell
OF wet weather might bring tales of de
layed blowing But these matters will
keep for the immediate future. A
month hence the acreage may logically
be made g bone OF contention. By that
time another million bales of the old
crop will have passed the spindles. and
the stage Will thus have been set for an
up-to-date version of A Midsummer
Nights Dream.

with sales OF 5000 bales. futures did not
follow the rolly in our markets yester-

must be prepared for further easiness in
Liverpool for while.
