New Orleans. La, Feb. 14.-Liverpool
was influenced unfavorably by the large
receipts, and our market in sympathy
opened to points lower, declined ! to
additional on bearish statistics, clos
ing at a net loss of TO 7 points of the
day. The amount brought into sight
during the week was 10000 in excess of
last year, and the total marketed from
September LIST to date shows an increase
of 1852, 600 over last year. Therefore, as
the growth last season was 10,519,00, and
assuming that there is no more cotton In
the South than there was then the
movement on its face points TO crop OF
1921 900. The interior towns received
8? 900 against 100000 last year, bat If
Houston is eliminated the other twenty
eight towns aggregate 1000 against So
600 last year. This difference has been
practically maintained for over seven
weeks, demonstrating that the amount
brought into sight during that time has
been from plantations and not at the eX
pense of the counted interior town
stocks. The total stock of American
ashore and afloat to Liverpool is 1862
600, an increase of 327 900 over last year,
and $4,000 over year before last. The
visible supply of American gained 53,444
relatively over last year during the week
and the aggregate TO date shows an in
crease of BAL 900 over last year. The
facts do not bear out the assertions and
theories of short crop advocates, who
have been looking for Il perpendicular
falling off in the movement for six or
seven weeks. Sentiment, however, con-
tinues very bullish. Still the receipts
will ultimately govern the future course
of the market.

COTTON.
New York. Feb little cotton market
opened steady with October three points
lower and other months unchanged to
three points higher. Taking into account
the fact that Liverpool had not fully re-
sponded TO the New York strength of
last night and that port receipts were
considerably in excess of those for same
day last year, early developments were
very gratifying TO friends of the market
and did mych to mystify the bears, who
had confidently relied upon lower open
ing and a sharp reaction under general
realizing. Soon after the call the whole
list eased off few points under weak
ness in Liverpool and under rumors that
the week end statistics would be very
hearish. Buc stubborn bull support and
q scare OF March shorts prevented any
serious setback. In fact later May and
July climbed to S55 while March shot up
rapidly, finally touching SIS when rush
to secure profits by room holders brought
about a reaction. A large estimate for
tomorrows Houston receipts and heavy
outside profit taking forced the market
off later to SfS for May and July. But
throughout the afternoon steady un
dertone prevailed and repeatedly March
gave evidence of wonderful strength. The
sensational advance in the near position.
served to frighten April and May shorts
with the result that late prices gave
material premium for those options over
the July and more remote options. At
the close the market was steady with
prices three points higher to 8 points
lower, near months showing the improve
ment. Operations were very active pref
ty much all day with commission houses
very large sellers.

PESSlMISM
AND CYNICISM
Good Things to Avoid, Says Rev
Mr., Mason.

"Is the World Growing Worsc?"
This was the subject of Rev. Edward
G. Mason's sermon at the Universalist
church Sunday morning. His answer
to the question was in the negative.
He described the gradual advance Of
civilization from ancient times down
to the present, and denounced pessim-
ism and cynicism, stating that they
We're two of the greatest evils of
the age. He said that the American
people are not going back and that the
world over tenderness and sympathy
had replaced the rack and other instru-
ments of torture. He said that the
evils that are here must be faced and
overcome and that the deadly blight Of
pessimism and cynicism was above all
things to be avoided
