Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, September 2s-In spite q
the strike in England, which is reported
has led to the shipping board suspending
all shipping from this country to Eng
land, there were buying orders in the
, market from Liverpool during the after
noon and prices, while still erratic, were
distinctly firmer, and gave good evidence
of lack of pressure from hedge selling.
Cables from Manchester reported BUSH
ness disorganized, which can hardly be
wondered at, but the situation is so Sc
rious for all, including those on strike,
that it seems unlikely to be prolonged.
The more is heard about the crop the less
promising it appears to be, and there Is
an increasing disposition to pay heed
to that rather than to such matters as
foreign exchange.
Exports today, 1900 bales. The situa-
ton is full of uncertainties as long as
these fail to produce any marked eff
feet in increasing offerings against the
actual. Such declines as occurred today
are not likely to be more than tenn
porary, although some Of them may be
sharp,-Post & Flagg

New York. September 29.--In face OF
the extraordinary condition of affairs
in England. which has stopped both
English and American ships from SAIL
ing for England. the markets have
shown remarkable strength. The idea
is stated that whenever strike Is
started it is at its worst there and
then. with only one course to follow.
namely, an improvement. 1t cannot be
worse. therefore must be better On
this theory. cotton was bought by the
local trade during the morning. EST
mates of the crop condition today
range from 10.400.0G0 to 1900 900
bales. Unless the Situation in England
is brought under control in a short
time there will be some reduction in
the weekly consumption of cotton The
markets approach the bureau report
long Of cotton in expectation of An
active demand from spinners and spec
ulators after it is published.-Hubbard
