the decline were helped by lower quo

do the business for a man who happens
to be unsteady on his pins. But these
ephemeral developments do not alter the
basic facts.
Now. as before, cotton is going out
of the country at a rate that can not
be kept up much longer. unless the in
visible reserves are distinctly bigger
than they can be. on any generally &C
cepted hypothesis of the crop, now as
before, an abnormal proportion of the
visible supply consists OF uncomfortable
grades These and kindred facts would
tell with double force II anything hap
pened to bring the speculative public in
with rush. There are bearish items In
the news (the stationary production OF
gold for example,. but items OF the
sort would be of small amount, II the
outsider suddenly made up his mind to
buy for the grand scale. Speculation is
asleep. but II does not follow that the
sleep betokens deaths approach

lower than Mondays close Liverpool

with foreign connection and during the
foreign prices stood TO points higher

However, the snap seems to be out of
the bull side for the moment and the
market has a sagging tendency. Bust
ness was low and outside participation
was lacking. Demand for spot cotton
continue the underlying factor of
strength in the market.
