MISCELLAXEOUS MARKETS
Cotton Market
NEW YORK. May 18.—Hutton's wire saye:
Tb* cnexpected strength In the Liverpool market
this moralag caused a peaeral covering by ner
vous sLorrs during the first hour, but as 6oon as
tills mcreaent was over long cotton came ©a the
market in toluejo from all directions, leading to
the supposition that tbe scattered long interest
ia the seer couth* was much larger than at first
supposed. Up to the present moment leading:
hulls have not offered much support, aad It Is
beMeved that they are satisfied to 6ee the mar
ket decline for the purpose of accumulating,
cbeap August. Trade report* chow signs of im
provement in many lines, especially in England. .
The warmer weather predicted for the cotton
belt seems rcther slow tt putting in its appear
ance, and this probably accounts for the com
parative strenfTtfc ia the new crop positions.
A meeting of southern soft yarn spinners' as
sociation wus held in Ctarlotte, N. C, yesterday :
morning and it was decided not only to continue !
to curtail the production but not to take any
fall orders now. The spinners, it is said, will
live trora Land to mouth until conditions im
prove. Ttc-y have less poods on hand, it is re- j
ported, than most people believe. About 400,000
spindles were represented at the meeting.
Unmanufactured cotton, according to the bu
reau of statistics in millions of dollars amounted
to 22.7 in April, 15*09. and to 24.7 in April. 1910.
Exports of cotton cloths for the month of April
t-howed a decrease, being 1.9 compared with 2.2
for the same month last year. Furtber advances
In cotton yarns have occurred in the Philadelphia
yern market, following the-Tednction in a num
ber of spinning mills in a position to accept
orders st good prices.
Spot closed quiet, 20 points decline: middling
nplasis, 15.20 c; do gulf, 15.45 c. Sales, 11,000
bales.
