In yesterdays circular cargin 8 Richardson
say;
A mixed weather map confronted the trade
In cotton today Additional rains were re-
ported from Arkansas and the northern por-
tion of Louisiana, well as Eastern Texas
with prospects for more. while the Carolinas
sent reports Of dry weather. Liverpool had
quies an active session within narrow
range Our markets opened slightly lower
but soon began to improve under good buy-
ing by shorts on further damage reports from
the East as result OF the continued dry
weather and State report from North Caro-
lina giving the condition on the goth at "a
the worst report for years. Sentiment Is I'M
doubtedly bullsh In the trade centers and
ttr the present prices will be ruled principal-
~ hy weather conditions, the market being
nervous and unsettled owing to the critical
period OF the crop now being passed, and we
think advisable TO use caution in selling
short, preterrlng TO buy moderately on the
cay periods, accepting moderate profits until
something further develops In the crop out
look. Houston expects 200 bales tomorrow.

COTTON IS MORE ACTIVE
After Starting Oft al q Decline, There Was
Good Rally.
WEATHER CONDITIONS THE MAIN FEATURE
Foreign spinners Buying in Hand
to-Mouth Manncr--Ocenn Rates
VIII He Higher.

Speculation in cotton yesterday was quite
active. and when the markets closed the bulls
had the better OF the battle. Weather news
WAS OF an assorted variety. Come OF it was
favorable and considerable of it was I'M
favorable.
The opening was at a decline from Satur-
day. but After the hrst call prices climbed
steadily upward and the early loss was wiped
out and a good gain scored.
Sales in Liverpool are small. For nearly
month past spinners have been buying
sparingly, trying to tide over until cotton
begins to move freely. This movement has
lust commenced and II is still far below
the normal so that the foreign spinners may
have 10 wait some time yet before they can
secure the supplies they want But suppose
the South should take a notion that It could
afford to hold of? Then what? The cotton
states. and particularly Texas. are in better
shape financially than at any time In their
history and could hold cotton back and mar
ket it by degrees.
Just as the movement begins new feature
hobs up. and that is the strike of the WEIGH
coal miners Ocean freight rates were al
ready high on account Of the war conditions
before this strike was inaugurated. but the
ship agents are further advancing their
charges. 1t has always been debatable ques-
tion as to who Bays the freight-the pro-
Queer or the consumer. With exorbtant
prices for ocean freight rates looming up.
prices are apt TO be affected by it.
