New York, Nov. 22.—While the

estimate, it shows no
over the figures. On the
mills continued to buy
the small further decline of 18
all of which was after
recovered, When present
selling halts the market will
feel the scarcity of eon
sinee these are lodged
in spinners* hands. Spot
are reported scarce and
farmers, generally refused to sell
the decline. With southern
overflowing with idle money,
which they are anxious to lend,
the talk of pressure of cotton later
on falls ‘flat. Ther advance in
stocks has been briskly resumed
and the reaction-in cotton is likely
to be .quickly recovered. We be
lieve in taking advantage of dips
such as today to pick up cheap
cotton.
