MITIGATE that the European spinner has
come to the conclusion that this crop Is
short and that there is little hope to get in

that The spinner will soon look at the situa-

himself accordingly.

New York, November 22.-While Liver
pool reported a good spot business (sales
Is 000), futures We're unchanged This was
a disappointment. and our market opened
unchanged as against a further advance,
which was expected. AS the receipts came
in and showed some gains, values began to
give way, especially as Liverpool also de-
cined, and further 1t was seen that the
bull firms were selling.
AS we have lately remarked the market
looks tired out and in need of some new
stimulus Old issues like small crop trade
seem discounted for the moment. True, the
price of print cloths was raised yesterday
late to &c, but every one know that they
were not obtainable at the previous quota
tons. Besides, the mills are heavily stock
ed and raw material Is being offered to
them more freely within the last two or
three days.
Europe shows no alarm about supplies,
and If she continues that policy the weight
on this side may soon begin to make itself
felt especially as the south is long of conS
tracts, besides owning the actual stuff at
home. Southern markets this afternoon
show little If any business doing in spots.

Northwestern cars 634: last week, 6S1; last
year, 1928. Primary receipts, $4,000; last
year, 1,076 900. Wheat opened a little higher
in sympathy with the cables, and after
fuctuating within a narrow range wound
up heavy and little lower. New York and
Duluth wired there was better demand
for cash wheat.
New York said: Demand came from
both United Kingdom and Continent"
Duluth said that New York bids were &c
better than last Saturday, compared with
the option, and that the demand had been
good enough to advance freights 1c
The feature in the market here was the
amount of December wheat Offering all the
time in the way of liquidation, some being
sold outright, and some being changed over
to May, but enough to make the market
soft in spite of the battle cables. While
this is the case, wheat is only purchase
on the declines.

MANY SOUTHERN BUYERS

New York, November 22.-Trade condi-
tons on the cotton exchange did not change
materially today.
The bulk of the small business done was
easily traced to the professional element
which gave attention for the most part to
the winding up of struggling accounts pre-
paratory to whatever new turn the market
may take in the future. The opening was
barely steady, with quotations one point
lower to one point higher.
Prices did not rest long on this level, as
receipts piled up ominously, late cables
were bearish and the investment public
was disposed to part with a portion of its
holdings.
A decline of points was apparent at the
close of the first hour, with the market
showing underlying weakness. Later, how
ever, there was a marked change in the
feeling in the pit, and by noon most of the
early loss had been wiped out. The change
of sentiment developed into positive firm
ness as the session wore on. With the
steadier ruling came moderate number of
buying orders from Wall street and the
south. Room bulls purchased in a small
way The market was finally steady, with
prices net 2 points higher to lower.

A backward Season.

It is seldom that there has been a
more backward season than the
present one. Thus far the farmers
have not been able to prepare the
ground for planting and very little
If any blowing has been done. We
are told, however, that the garlic is
growing finely and If great care is
not taken, there will soon be an out
cry about garlicy milk and butter.
The wheat fields present very
pleasing appearance and the lndi
cations favor heavy growth OF
straw, if not heavy yield OF grain.
If the weather should prove favor
able, we may also expect good
grass crop. 1t is too soon to make
any safe prediction about the fruit
crop. Paul may plant and Apol'
los may water, but God alone car
give the increase.
