Technically, the cotton market was In an uncertain position, with too many bears. Fears that the farmer and planter would I»e frightened by the declin ing market and let go big line* of cotton did not encourage bulla and brought about Indiscriminate short selling. The sharp ral lies late yesterday and this morning In Liverpool is a result of this oversold con dition. We think It safe to wait for a little higher level liefore soiling again. We believe lower prices will prevail ultimately. Market steady on reports of a storm in Galveston. Think cotton should advance ou this Gal veston storm news.

YARN PRICES IRREGULAR; The New York Commercial: Tb arn market shows no Improvemei s to the new business, or a flrn ltuatlon. Some small lots of y elng picked up from time to tl , these Mies are not of sufficient size to stiff en up prices any. Reports are coming from rariotta quarters of the market to tne ef fect that stocks are gradually accumulat ing with dealers. Yarns which were con tracted for some time ago by dealers arc !>eg!nii!ng to be delivered by spinners, oi are being charged up and held for deal ers' accounts, on tho other hand, buyers aro not coming forward lu this market for any additional supplies, as both weavers and knitters aecm to have enough oti hand at the present time to carry them. " * !>rs aro still holding out fo. _ ire considerably above those obtain able in thla market, Hud will contluue to do so. It Is believed, a* long as they have enough orders on hand to keep their plants running. Flue couuts show further weak ness. as there is practically nothing doing on these numbers. Other prices arc very Ir regular, according to the quarter of the mar- ‘ st In which they are quoted. Iu aouie qunrters prices ou the same counts show a difference of fully ftftfte, due to the stock that the seller happens to have on hand. Several spinners have been In the market during the past few days for the purpose of slzliig up tho situa tion. Some are reported to hare come down In their price Ideas after finding out conditions prevailing to be worse than they expected. Print Cloths Move Slowly. , Jpt for purchases of regulars was very little doing Monday In the cloth market. Several of the large selling agencies have been able to sell spot* In wide goods at 6ftc. but ou near by de livery and future delivery, these, ns well ts all other wide constructions, are selling off. No larae purchases of wide goods aro eported. The cloths produced to Eastern .nflls are now said to equal the calls made for delivery on order, and this helps to sus tain values.

The banking position Is working out sat isfactorily aud no serious decline In the market from the present level Is looked for. Steel statement was well liked, and when the steel rail question Is settled a large number of orders will bb booked. Town Topics: The fresh outburst of liquidation that came oh the market yes terday U. likely to be followed by consid erably more selling of a compulsory char acter. At the same time, there is tlcaly no buying demand except from who are abort of the market, and, In con sequence, wo confidently believe that a low of prices will be the rule all _ iiefore the end of tho week. Europe ms again turned to the sell Jig side, and t Is more evident that the situation In con tinental centers la not bo strong us had been hoped, especially In view of the advance In bank rates and the competition for gold In London. There Is some desultory odd lot mylng by the public, but this ns yet Is of nslgnlflcont proportlops, and is perhaps not h> Urge as the selling on the part of the (aid lot buyers who entered the market ear lier In the year. Tho Steel corporation's report, while so far as earning* aro con cerned Is not unfavorable, can not he re garded as a b^MIsh document In view of the falling oflr^ orders for new busluess, and the probability that there will be heavy cauce'.latlons from now on, as there have doubtless been during the month. Indeed, the general business and financial situations throughout the coun* “ gp vorabTe to any rise market, and such support as the banking clemeiit la iuclined to offer Is qn'**** - withdrawn when any great nmonnt of liquidation makes Ha appesrauc*. while stock Iw.tight for support purposes speedily reaches fho market on the rallies. We advise those who are ccaitemplatlng making purchases even among the best rail road Issues to await further developmanta, as we are inclined to believe that new low records for the year will l*e marie nil through the list. We rscoinuieud the sale of both cotton and wheat on all the rallies. The Loudon early market for Americans is quiet and generally lower.
