New Orleans, Feb. 17. — Liverpool seemed to regret the forced depres sion of values on yesterday's close by more than making amends In today’s range of prices. Spot sales for today were 8,000 bales, while yesterday’s 8,000 were Increased later In the day to 10,000 bales. Our own market seems to be drifting along with the tide, nothing of any Importance haB occurr- 1 or Is likely to occur In the near future to shake It out of the rut into which It has worn Itself, Not oven the failure of the visible supply statement to show the expected decrease seems to have any effect, nnd It is more than prob able that some information of a revo lutionary type must he forthcoming ere any Improvement or any further declines are to be noted. As It stands now. there Is a marked Improvement In the undertone, which, being of It self of Insufficient Importance to lift values In any considerable mannpr, nevertheless denotes the temper of the trade. Cotton of superior grades Is eagerly sought, but types such ns these are conspicuous by their absence, conse quently transactions are limited In volume. Whether or not. the holdings of the Interior represent a large per cent, of this class of cotton Is merely n matter of conjecture, but there Is no favored Inclination to look for sup port from this source for a while yet. And when conditions such as are ex isting at present are taker Into con sideration with the temper of the trade, showing such a decided disin clination to follow news of a favorable character, or contra rywlse, It seems more than probable that the tactics which we have constantly aVlvIsed should he continued, for speculation being non-exlsteut, scalping operations relentlessly rule. C.IBERT & CLAY. tn the opinion of many, the fall po sitions are too low. The crop is not planted, yet the fall positions are sell ing 70 points below July. Early news from Liverpool was very encouraging. "No pressure to sell, and spinners willing to pay present prices.” Manchester sent strong "buying or ders to the South. Spinners’ takings there are .500,000 less than last year, and we all remember how greedily they paid 10 cents for cotton last June and July. Freeman says: “The heavier the movement now, the sooner will come the nernendlcular drop. A sentiment Is slowly hut surely gaining ground that there will not be enough cotton to satisfy perfect trade conditions on both sides of the water.” Bert Cassels, always friendly to the staple, appeared In the ring for the first time in months, and bought many blocks. Men who sell cotton to the mills are all bullish. The biggest bulls are the men who best understand the spot situation. There is a short interest in the mar ket which will soon be made “the sub ject of serious consideration.” McFadden was trying to buy a line of 9,fiOO bales from Lehman, Stem & Co. This crowd Is evidently short to Europe. New Orleans reported no pressure on the market, and said same respond ed readily to the slightest bullish In fluence. There was very little gossip around the ringB. , Morris Wealoaky, President. D. W. Jr.roos, W. M. Hell, 1st Vico-Fres. 2nd Vice-Free, Joseph H. Devin, P. W, .Toner Giddier. Ass’t Osithlsr.
