MANCHESTER WEEKLY MARKET REPORT.

Messrs. James F. Hutton & Co. Ltd., Manchester, report on June 9:-

The most significant item of the week and one likely to be of far- reaching importance in the cotton situation, has been the Washington Agricultural Bureau estimate of the new crop condition on May 25. This first report gives an averagé condition of 624 against 756 for last year, 82.3 for 1918, 69.5 for 1917 and

that has ever been published and the 77.5 for 1916. It is the lowest figure)

details of the report fully bear out the pessimistic advices received from the

States. Since variors

the figures have been compiled the weather news was rather more satis factory for a time and there is a possibility of course of a very-great ¦ improvement in the condition, but such a commercement is a most severe handicap. The immediate effect of the report was to cause considerable buying, both at New York and Liver pool, as general opinion was for an estimate of about 65, and prices were enhanced, but it has not given rise to the strong upward movement "that might have expected. This is no doubt owing to the persistently bearish tendencies which have latterly become evident through the lack of demand for goods and the stringent financial situation, and in spite of late bad weather reports, values have still failed to advance any appreciable extent.
