The cotton market yesterday was fonturo
ltss and In a measure disappointing out
eldc of Liverpool
The bullish tendency reecltod n damper
In American market by the sudden change
of frontof bullish speculators who do
eirttd their flelf nnd refused to give ac
tire support to the Upward movement of
price The Oecnt scare seems lo ho the
ftcodoo for which the speculative cotton
world has no counteracting charm ami
Mhen It appeared day before ssterday that
0tent cotton was In stght nearly every
one looked for nn ndrancc of Starch con
tracts to 0 rents yesterday but n halt
occurred just before that figure w

market came when almost every Indication
favored a rontniied advance
An attempted explanation of the condi

Is almost u41 eta for evplnnatlonn on Ihb
order do not always explain but from
what can he gathered from experienced

prices now existing between spots and fu

serted that spel 1lnn tliouth hfld birk
ItJi a firm hand at different limes thin
j fnn bus caused an advance In futures
which Tins not been followed In the pots
markets Tht pnrtlnllj explains why the
ipot mnrketa have remained consistently
Irm for the past two months yet the
idvancea In spots have not been considered
proportionate to the advances In futures
From this may be gathered some of th
reasons why futures are considered too high
at present and by the Rame process of rca
loulng It may be said that spot cotton
la really worth wn than it Is now bring
