Manchester cables continued pessimistic. stating trade were. sellers. Our markets opened 10 to 16 under Tuesdays close and was depressed most of the session under the influence of the very weak Liverpool. the finals being the lowest for the day and 60 points or $3 bale under the previous close. Spots were 25 to 60 points lower. and reports from the southern points stat, ed demand had gone dead. Heavy selling by prominent New York operator in ad, dition to selling by Liverpool and a good deal of liquidation helped the decline, Iiv- erpool explained it's weakness by extreme ly pessimistic conditions in Lancashire, selling by straddlers and liquidation by large bulls. The main bearish factor was lack of spot demand. dullness in Worth street and ample mill stock. Predictions for rain all over the belt tomorrow made October relatively firmer than the old crops. The technical position of the mar ket is much improved by this decline from the high of a week ago and a short in terest is no doubt accumulated, but it Is daubtful if an advance can be sustained until demand for the actual cotton inn proves. In fact of the predicted bad weather. purchases of October on further reactions should prove profitable.-S. R. Stewart k& Co.
