WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton slowly YieIdinG-Stocks Act
i've and strong.


i've and strong.
The tendency OF the cotton market has
continued downward. but changes have
been frequent January sold as low as
9.iOc on Tuesday, then recovered 90 1850
again down TO ei2c and then back ~ 933c
finally closing steady at e.osc. a decline
for the week OF 2 POINTS. Tho weakness
in spot cotton has been greater. the sa-
vannah quotations being * lower at
sisc.
The movement Of the crop was on a
large scale. the amount coming in sight
for the week approximating $1,000 bales
At the present level OF prices the demand
Is not sufficient 90 absorb this enormous
volume and hence the visible supply IS
rapidly increasing Yet the very small
stock IN New York serves TO restrict too
heavy selling there. which explains why
futures have held up better than spots.
IL also conclusively disproves the reck-
less claim made In certain quarters that
tho resent decline has been caused by
speculation. The direct opposite Is the
case. But FOR the relative irmness Of
futures due to speculation. the prise for
spot cotton would. no doubt, have de-
clined still further The indications are
for a crop OF over 100000 bales and the
tendency OF the market would still seem
downward. especially as the prospective
damage from frost becomes more incon-
siderable
Stocks we're active and buoyant with
n special burst OF strength toward the
end OF the week. IN which some OF the iron
stocks. such as Federal Steel, Wire. and
Steel Hoop were most conspicuous. Pa
cino Mail, the Pacific roads, New York
fractions and Gas. with the Tobacco
stocks followed closely. and the whole list
caught on more or less 20 the boom.
Developments in che iron trade were
more favorable. and the trend OF political
affairs was regarded with confidence.
The money situation Is considered more
cheerful. and higher prices are expected
however, frequent reactions must BE-
looked for, and prudence suggests waiting
for such occasions Tor purposes OF invest
ment. Wm. T. Williams.
