We have omitted to mention that there la also hope which at all times Is an Important element In tho cotton market. The crop may be a big one. prices may go somo lower, but out of it nil will come a chance to make money before tho year of 1905 Is very old. And. then, there is the consolation of thinking how very much worse things might have boon. There Is evidently a contest of some kind going on in the present market. For tne first time since tho downward movement began tho hear party la meet lng with something like persistent resist nnce. This started from the buying by the continent, and has been continued through purohases by tho larger spot In terests in this country, and enough cotton has been taken from tho market to start reactions that were rather uncomforta ble to shorts. In order to exert pressure, very large lines of cotton have come on the market. and last evening, just when the market was under way to close con siderably higher, one of the largest opera tors of tho oenr party came into tho *lt In person and sold 15,000 bales of March in the effort to drive prices to a lower level.
