ACTUAL STAPLE IN GOOD DEMAND New York.

Heavy rains oc curred In parts of the Mississippi valley and also In Georgia. The spot markets were firm and there Is some apprehension that the government reports to be Issued next Tuesday may !n» of a more bullish character as regards Imth the condition of the plant and the amount of cotton glutted than has heretofore seemed probable. The storm III the Mississippi valley Is diminish lag. The impression of ntne-f<mfh* of the trade Is that no great hnrm hnl been done, and that If front occurs nt about the usual date the yield will he a large one. Under the circumstances the fluctnations simmered down to 1 heir old narrow limit. But does the stopping of the notices so promptly mean thnt the bulk of the stock here has changed hands? If so. this might pare the way for a better market growing out of the admittedly good demand for the actual cotton, however Indifferent the public may be to the cotton speculation.—Glhert A Clay.
