cables this morning rcjiorted spot cotton
there firm and In good lemand, wi’h alies
of 8,009 bales at unchanged but harden
ing prices, whllt the market for futurts
opened arm at l-Wd advance, which wa3
subsequently Increased to 2*64, ; rices clos-
in; firm at the advance. These advices
plainly showed a full rtsponso to our ad-
vanct of yesterday, and our market
opened firm where It left off last night
with buylers. After the call prices eold
off 1 to 2 points on some small local
killing, but rallied and advanced 5 points
under the Influence of good buying for
Liverpool. New Orleans and local ac-
.... rknrn fnlllnrr off In thn
counts prompted a sharp falling off In the
movement of the crop, and Indication of
still lighter receipts next week by the
zero weather with snow and ain now
prevailing throughout the South The
buying was the stron-arest seen here for
some time, but the disappointingly small
bond 1fsu*% followed 4>y a sharp break in
th stock market, furnished the bears with
a pretext /or hammering the market.
Their heavy ’reckless ft filing frightened
some of th«f .timid bulls into withdraw
ing their support, ani prices weakened
under the pressure, losing al lof the early
advance *flnd closing barely steady at
yesterday’s Anal quotations The receipts
nt tho ports. Including various Inland
(owns, were 26.7S6 baPes. making the to
tal for the week 146.211. against 188.835
last week. 100,439 last year, and 184,000
In 1892, while tho total amount brought
ino^rplght was 182,777. against 17,<7*3 lpst
year# and 231480 in 1S92. The agricultural
bureau at Washington will Issue a very
thorough and exhaustive report on cotton
tomorrow relating to the proportion of
the orop pi&rkettd and tho amount left In
farmers' ’hands, etc. We believe It wfil
show the crop has been picked e*tar and
quicker and marketed more "apldly than
evtr before, and that the amount left on
the plantations will be shown to be much
less than Is generally estimated.

when her voice showed a marked decline.
She could not ho persuaded by her friends
to cense hor puhllo appearances nnd only
did so when convinced by tho coldness of
the audiences of the truth of tho represen

subject. At her last appearenco In Lon

np to £10,700, or about *83,500, which her
