JOHN F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 21.-While general
news was not specifically inspiring, it was
at least not any worse, and the Wall Street
Review is rather definite in the assertion
that basis of resistance has been reached
with the markets technically in good shape
to respond to any improvement in the sit
ia ton.
Liverpool closed yesterday at an advance
against the decline in our market, which
accounts for the decline in the way of an
adjustment. The increase in spot sales is a
good omen showing the attraction by the
lower level.
Our market opened 10 to 80 down on SELL
ing on the lower Liverpool and rains over
the northwestern quarter of the belt, but a
better attitude in New York than was ex-
cent level
The cotton market right now is a test
case between producer and consumer. We
have reason to believe that this crop will be
short one, we know the needs of the world
in cotton material are great, spinning prof
its large and that all our supply is covered
by wants. However, we cannot dictate to
consumers how and when to buy.
The weather may shows general cloudiness
over the belt, good rains over the northwest
ern quarter, general showers in the central
states.
