THE LIVERPOOL CRISIS,
Mesars, Pentreath & Co. have forwarded us the following letter, dated June 93, which they have received from Messrs. Horaby, Hemelryk & Co., Liverpool:-
Our market has shewn a declin ing tendency during the week under review, partly owing to better wea. ther, and partly owing to heary liquidation of the July position in New York. As today is the notice day in New York for this position, this liquidation will no doubt cease to-night.
The Liverpool market, however, has resisted the decline to a great extent by reason of some demand from spinners at each successive: decline.

All we can say, for the moment. is that, in our opinion, there will be only a small carry over into next crop, and that, if prices are to be kept down, a big crop is essential. There is no doubt thât any serious threat to the crop which would cause the market. to fear an out. turn of less than fifteen and a half millions would have an influence on the market which would result, m higher, prices.

A cable received, from Bombay, states that there has been an im provement in the cotton industry, that only ten milla remain closed and that 80,000 operatives, are now ! at work.

The demand for Sakel is so re- stricted that no one appears in. clined to take up July tenders. This position, however, has now declined to some 34 points under November, at which level it should attract dealers in actual cotton."
Support was in evidence at the lowest levels, and the market now looks distinctly steadier, having re covered about 25 points from the lowest,

Each clever word and every bar of music in the little dramatic cantata, "Trial by Jury," has been recorded for Victor in this new and immensely entertaining Red Seal album. If your tastes run along instrumental lines, the famous Flon- zaley Quartet-(now in the last year of their existence as an ensemble)--has re- corded a lovely bit of Schumann chamber music ... But that isn't half of the wonderful musical opportunities in this July list of Victor records. The best Red Seal music and the best dance entertainment are right here! You'll want to hear some of these new records. We want you to hear thera. Let's get together Boon!
