wo look for a quiet, Irregular market,
witb lower prices. Shorts mostly covered.
Tblnk prices will be lower on any appear
ance of favorable weather. 8tUl tbe condi
tions are really so nnfarorable that we I*.
Hove many buyers will be In evidence at
the lower levels. Buy on recessions.
The entlro trade la talking of ten entirely
different subjects at once. One thing la cer
tain: The members of the cotton exchange
here are a ^ unit In wishing to see the at*
iioephere cleared and cleared once and for
all. Developments are In the line of tracing
out .every objection which of late has beeu
made, with the end In view of more thor
oughly than ever establishing tbe New
York Cotton Exchange as an Institution
above reproach.
The Injunction fodnd Its effect, becoming
operative Monday, and Is the all absorbing
topic. Local operators are at sen. Nerv
ousness will likely prevail and fluctuations'
will be wider. Any decllue, we think, will
be but temporary, as conditions warrant
much higher prices than yet seeu both for
old and new crops. -
The pros and cons of the Injunction are
being discussed with much energy. Mr.
Trice Is out with another statement ex
plaining and defending his position.
Mitchell came Into the ring and tried to
sell some cotton but market was sold down
by locals.
July ran from 10.14 to 10.23 on very moder
ate buying, led by Mitchell.
