New’ York, February 11.—Slightly higher
I cables from Europe brought a further
i ad\ ante in our market this morning. The
south turned free seller, which, together
with another break hi the stock market,
brought a further decline in cotton spot*
i are offered mcVre freely In the j-outh,
[especially the off colored cottons, the
| break in the basis being reported in some
| instances as quite sharp. Cotton has now
leached a point where some radjustmnt
between spots and futures must take place
so that we believe that the general trend
of prices will be dependent more on out
side conditions than on the general cot
ton situation. We think tills is going to
be due to the falling off in (he exporta
tions of all kinds of articles in this coun
try, which will make them avalla-Me for
the American markets and. therefore,
begin to undermine the extremely high
prices that have existed In this country
If this takes place it will have t;»c in
! direct effect of causing a hesitation in all
lines of business which in itself will cur
tail the buying power of the puoli • and
therefore demand for goods.
