Cotton continued its downward trend
again yesterday, under severe bear
pressure and constant liquidation. The
market was weak from start to finish,
and futures both in New York and
New Orleans went off from 27 to 4l
points.
Liverpool started the ball rolling and
showed up remarkably weak.
Both futures and spots slumped in
the English ring, and this fact helped
liquidation on this side of the water.
Over 500,000 bales were reported
sold on the New York ex
change, and the undertone of the mar
ket there was decidedly weak. Spots
went off 25 points on the local market,
and a % decline was recorded in New
Orleans.
No sales were reported in the local
exchange, but this condition has pre
vailed for several days past.
The f. o. b. ring reported but little
business, and there were fewer offer
ings than for some time. Cotton on a
basis of good middling was quoted
quiet at 14 cents.

COTTON FUTURES.
New York, April 25. —The cotton op
ened weak at a decline of 10@18 points
under liquidation and bear pressure,
encouraged by lower cables than ex
pected; weather which, while some
what unsettled was still considered
fairly favorable for the season; and
the prospect for large receipts.
The opening declines caught stop
loss orders, and while they also at
tracted considerable profit taking from
the shorts, the tendency of prices was
continued downward until shortly be
fore midday prices showed a net loss
of 27@34 points. This was followed by
sufficient covering promoted by re
ports of a better spot demand to rally
the market about 10 points from the
low-est, but the reports concerning a
more active spot business received no
official confirmation and the market
in the early afternoon turned weak.
During the balance of the session
fluctuations were Irregular, but the
general undertone seemed a little
steadier. The upward tendency was
limited, however, by continued liqui
dation and the market closed barely
fteady about 2 to 6 points up from

Futures opened quiet and weak, with
prices 21@30 points down, influenced
by sensationally unfavorable Liverpool
weakness in York. Local bears
hammered prices fiercely and there
was a weak undertone throughout. Tiie
decline, it was generally believed, was
caused by the selling orders that flood
ed Liverpool, New York and New Or
leans.
While leading bulls gave the market
some support at the opening, they al
lowed it to take its own course during
tbe remainder of the session. In the
trading May first lost 27 points to
13.64 c. recovered to 13.70 c and finally
declined to 13.49 c. Other active months
showed similar fluctuations. The clos

DEMEHE A HAMMOND
B*l Thai Liverpool I* Dae fo Come
Down Again To-ilny.
Savannah, Ga., April 25.—The mar
ket closed weak and near the bottom,
the same character of liquidation as ha t
been going on all day. There is a
growing belief that cotton going out
as direct shipment to the other side
has really never been placed abroad.
It cannot be profitably delivered on
contracts, and the current differences
on spot grades between the markets of
this country and Liverpool, gives some
promise of a possible on medium
grades, and on this chances shipments
were made.
A report also that a leading local
spot cotton firm would deliver 10,000
bales on May contracts, unless the
market stiffened up. this helped to de
press the neajr months. Th local
market for spots closed quiet at 25
points decline, on a basis of 13.75 cof
middlings, 14c for middling gulf.
Port receipts to-day 9,696, against 9,-
239 last year. Weather and crop news
fairly good this alternoon, and this
tended to undermine the far months
Liverpool is due to come down 3%
points on all months to-morrow.
WARE A I.ELAND
Cannot See Any Inducement In Huy
Cotton nt the Present.
New York, April 25. —The decline to
day was foreshadowed by developments
last week. When It was reported that
print clothes had been cut and about
all the improvement since Jan. 1, it
was evident that it would take a radi
cal change of front on the part of Liv
erpool to prevent a sharp break.
Had there been any doubt about the
disappointing action of Liverpool be
fore there was none t'o-day. With the
shortage in Liverpool it has no effect.
There Is no cause for alarm here or on
the continent.
Since Liverpool Is weak there is no
hope. It is very disappointing to all
concerned, but no money w ill be made
by not admitting facts. The fact of
the matter Is consumption is less than
anyone believed!. Therefore do not
try to bull cotton for the present.
For three days last week we said
there seemed to be no bull in the mar
ket. There is even less now. We can
not see any inducement to buy cotton
at the moment.
DRY GOODS.
New York, April 25.—While buyers
of dry goods show little increased in
terest the market seems to possess a
healthier tone, and in certain Instances
sellers refuse to consider offers which
might have been accepted a few days
ago. Buyers are undoubtedly canvass
ing the market with the purpose of
purchasing as soon as they are con
vinced the time is ripe.
