He Urges Owners OF Cotton Not to Be
Stampeded.
New York, March lO.-A vigorous effort
has beei made today to dcpress the price
OF cotton by the selling Of futures in New
York, Thus far there is no evidence that
this attempt ferociouslv TO dcprccate tho
value or the article has had an effect upon
the Southern market, aud May contracts
In New York tonight are selling at prac
tically the same prices which mddlius
cotton is quoted at most Of the Southern
points.

Of cotton at the South not to be terrorlzed
into parting with their amount of this
years small crop at arything under full
value for IT. This value, in my opinion
VIII certainly be obtained before the pres
cnt season is much oder. Much capital
Is being made out of the fact that receipts
OF cotton at the counted points are rCa-
lively free but the fact Is entirely Ignored
that these receipts are due to the eager
Less OF buyers and lot 10 the eagernes5
of sellers. The fact that spmuerS are pay
Ing cents ana over for cotton is the
strongest possible evidence that could be
had that this crop is a short one, and nj
this time of the year the receipts are an
evidence OF the demand and not Of the sup
ply
Exports from the United States for, the
past two days exceed the receipts by about
5000 bales. II cotton continues to dis
appear in this ratio the greatest famine
