OpOtlons were about as expected on the opening, but shaded off a little during tbe day and closed at a net loss of 3 points over yesterday. Spot sales were 11,000 bales at easier prices. As an unwar ranted amount of stress seems to have been laid upon the falling off in the spot demand. It is well to refnark that some 2,000 bales were done yesterday after hourB, bringing the total of that day up to the previous average as established, namely 10,000 bales. On the opening of our market futures were at first easy and then showed a steadier undertone. The day’s ses sion was featureless, the lack of any speculative Interest having a listless effect on the market. The good spot business reported during the morning acted as a stimulant In steadying prices but failed of being the Inspira tion sought to cause an advance. How ever, the opinion seems to be preva lent that the market has been touch ing bottom now for some time, and if only some outside Influence could be set to work In conjunction with the Improvement In the raw material situ ation, a very much better market would naturally result. But receipts still remain comparatively very heavy, and in the face of them speculations come but slowly. The time Is fast approaching when this influence will have a reversing tendency, for com parisons will soon have to be made with the remarkably heavy movement of last year’s crop during the ensuing months and this, together with thrf fact that Texas and the Interior seem more reluctant to start with their cot ton, a condition which will shortly be manifest In the decreased reports at ports. There are reasons to believe that the much-talked-of liquidation of long contracts that has so long been a menace to more favorable conditions has not entirely run Its course, and this is In all probability the real dam per that overshadows the market, for It Is not at all certain but that should a rise occur this same Interest, weary of the long strain to which It has been subjected, would become a some what Indiscriminate seller. This view point may be wrong, however, and should they show any Inclination to lend material support, there seems hardly any room to doubt the health ier condition that would prevail with all, until the advent of some new dom- inent factor there is nothing from which to forecast more than scalping conditions. GIBERT & CLAY. COTTON PICKINGS. Furnished for Daily Herald Readers by Clark & Co. Liverpool came steady at unchanged prices, on sales of 10,000, but speedily broke 4 points. Trade conditions there continue perfect. People who were friends of the mar ket when It was 2 cents higher can see no bottom now. Human nature Is the same the wld<j world over. , The man who can “read” this mar ket Is BUYING on a scale down. When the tide turns, as turn It must, he will reap a golden harvest/ The next crop Is nofr a factor, and the best authorities agree it will take 12,500,000 to go around. This Is a whole lot of cotton. The market continues narrow and dull. Perhaps It Is the calm before the storm. V Some fortunates who sold July and bought October at 100 points apart are busy taking 30 points profit. A quiet tip Is In circulation on buy ing July In New Orleans- and selling July in New York. The market "mllkerB’’ are not so active these days. Perhaps the ‘cow” has begun to balk. Port receipts were 23,000. against 12,000 last year. No one can deny there is a better feeling In the market.
