INDICATIONS WERE BEARlSH

New York, April 3.-As there were no
English advices on account of Easter holi-
days the local market for cotton was quite
narrow, there being an absence Of speeula-
tive support from outside sources, while
traders were pessimistio on account of the
bearish indications regarding the progress
of the new preparations.
The market opened quiet at decline of
1Q2 points and further declined soc points.
with scarcely a reaction. At the best the
market was very small one. Selling was
finally checked by forecasts of moderate
receipts for tomorrow The weather map
was generally favorable, as was also tho
general run of private advices and the gos-
sip respecting the crop situation. The ex-
ception was in the condition of the weather
in Texas; this was said to have reached
a drought crisis. These reports, however,
failed to stimulate speculation, or to alarm
the bear contingent enough to cause them
to cover, although they did check selling
for short account. Just before the close
there was a little covering, which failed
however, to cause any substantial rally in
the market, which was finally quiet, 5 to
points net lower.

Broom Corn and Mononolies

We have said that the corner on
broom ccrn has been brought about by
a concentrated move on the part of
large manufacturers with a view to
shutting off small ones.
The Broom Corn Review for Janu-
airy, 1899, comes to the retcue of this
monopolizing class and says: "The
newspapers from Maine TO California
and from the Lakes to the Gulf have
published broadcast the news of a cor
ner on broom corn" and then makes an
evasive effort to deny this. But while
it is trying to pull the blanket down on
this side to cover up, it raises it up on
the other side and shows what is under
1T. A few quotations from the same
paper, same Issue, will show this.
| Speaking about those dealers in broom
corn who will sell by the car load to
some, then sell six, eight or ten bales to
another man who is not able to buy by
the car load, it says: at is mystery
to the writer why some of our large
buyers and dealers will place an order
with broker who will do this double
faced act when they could just as ad-
vantageOusly place their orders with
reputable brokers who will not resort
to the Infamous practice. We hope the
day is not far distant when we shall see
this class of traders passed by, and
those who do not follow this practice
grOV fat from the trade which ought
to be theirs. The review has a goodly
list OF the best people in the trade, who
have pledged themselves to throw their
business to those whom they have
proof do not do this sort of business,
and we hope TO see the list grow until
it includes every carlot buyer in the
trade"
Speaking about their present pros
poets, with small manufacturers shut
off, it says: Zone commendable feat
ure is, the cut-throat shops will no
longer be in it,"
With these favorable indications for
large manufacturers and dealers, it
breaks out again, as follows: "The
Review cOngratulates the manufactur-
ers on the present favorable outlook
and hopes they will take advantage of
1t and enjoy year of unusual prosper
ity.'"
Certainly, certainly! We think this
will be no financial calamity to that
class-'the class that is i'm it, Such
outspOken advocacy in favor of trusts
and favored few, L have seldom seen.
