Buy on recessions. The entlro trade la talking of ten entirely different subjects at once. One thing la cer tain: The members of the cotton exchange here are a ^ unit In wishing to see the at* iioephere cleared and cleared once and for all. Developments are In the line of tracing out .every objection which of late has beeu made, with the end In view of more thor oughly than ever establishing tbe New York Cotton Exchange as an Institution above reproach. The Injunction fodnd Its effect, becoming operative Monday, and Is the all absorbing topic. Local operators are at sen. Nerv ousness will likely prevail and fluctuations' will be wider. Any decllue, we think, will be but temporary, as conditions warrant much higher prices than yet seeu both for old and new crops. - The pros and cons of the Injunction are being discussed with much energy. Mr. Trice Is out with another statement ex plaining and defending his position. Mitchell came Into the ring and tried to sell some cotton but market was sold down by locals.
