May 29.—Although there are symptoms of a reactioary feeling developing on the ground that many shorts covered and prices go far toward discounting conditions to date, there is IkMe sign of pressure and the demand lias proved equal to absorbing offerings as only minor eoneeessions and without suggestion of weakness as both crop and weather advices are progressively unfavorable and need to be discounted afresh each day. A period of two or three weeks of teal cotton weather would without 1 doubt bring a considerable reaction in a market, where the technical position lias experienced a change so extensive from that of several weeks ago though it must also be realized that liquidation Imp' beeu constantly in evidence as prices have reached new high levels and in spite of the fact that the market is probably, long the holders of con tracts number more members of the trade than speculators. It might not ttrove an easy task to dislodge tile long interest more than partially and if price* worked off to any extent further purchases to average would' help ma terially to steady the market. The fact that the south is a seller rather than a buyer is taken to indicate that no grave auiety is felt in producing sections over the crop as yet and prob ably that is more or Jess true, but it may be worth nothing that htis selling is mostly on advances and tatters off rapidly on declines which argues no great feeling of confidence in ail abundant crop and a large surplus over requirements. It is hot a time to be positive or dog matic in opinions as no one at this time of year can estimate the crop with in several million bales of what it may prove to be except by the merest fluke. A trading ttosition with a strong preference for purchases in easy mar kets looks best for the present until a clearer view of later probabilities can be had. POST AND FLAGG. It is said that there has beeu an in crease of only 34(H) P>r year in file max imum salary of postal clerks in forty years, while the cost of living has dou bled and trebled in that time. r < ’ . r I GRADUATION WEEK SPECIALS!
