Cotton Market Opinions

Thomson & McKinnon: The nervousness of
foreign spinners over the question of next
seasons supplies was reflected in the action
of Liverpool Tuesday morning.
Logan & Bryan: We favor a continuance
of rising prices.
Munds & Winslow: Expect the general
tendency to be upward.
Housman & Co.: We believe that one prof
itably can wait for the present excitement
to quiet down before making fresh pur-
chases.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: We are inclined to
believe present prices discount existing con-
ditions.
]. S. Bache & Co.: We see nothing at
the moment to justify operations on the
bear side.
Lamborn & Co.: European spinners have
been buying new crops freely, with the in
tention of holding them protection
against their fall needs or until the crop
outlook dispels their present fears of short
age.
Weld & Co.: For the moment we suggest
caution, but would take advantage of any
moderate recessions to make purchases.
s. B. Chaplin & Co.: Sentiment among the
trading element continues bullish on cotton
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: We may have some
reaction. We feel it will be only tempo

GhA1N MAhhET
Sincere & Co.: We would not follow the
present upturn in wheat too closely, but
believe the market will be supported on
weak Spots. Corn and oats should show
resistance to selling pressure.
Stein. AlsteiE & Co.: With any material
increase in the foreign inquiry, good ad-
vance would likely be scored in wheat Both
corn and oats would work higher with
wheat.
Harris. Winthrop & Co.: We feel that
the general situation favors advancing
prices.
Bartlett, Fraser & Co.: The reaction was
not only natural, but expected.
Lamson Bros: The wheat market will
be governed largely by crop. ! sws from
Canada and the American northwest. Corn
has strong bullish possibilities.
Logan & Bryan: Wheat will be suscepti-
BILE to bull news. We look for higher prices
| in corn and oats.
Clement, Curtis & Co.: The wheat market
will be weather market. New crop pros
poets in coarse grain are not the best in the
greater part Of the belt.
Riordan Martin & Co.: We would buy ell
grains on the recessions.
Leland & Co.: We favor sales Of Wheat
on sharp rallies. and purchases of corn and
oats on the recessions.
