WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Stronger ON Light Movement.
Grain Markets Quiet.


Grain Markets Quiet.
After ruling quiet but firm during the
first half of the week, the cotton mar
ket later turned strong and advanced
rather sharply. Saturdays opening
was the high point, May reaching SAC.
and final quotations show a gain of
21 to q points, May S.35c. Premiums
on the summer months have about dis
appeared all the months from March to
July being practically the same.
The decrease in the movement was
even quieter than predicted by the
bulls. the amount coming into sight,
according to the Chronicle. being 49,
900 bales, against 191, 900 last year, and
23s,000 the year before. small show
of an increase on Saturday furnished
the principal motive for the reaction
on Saturday. With regard to this re-
action, however, one circumstance ap-
pears deserving of notice. While the
break in the old crop months from
opening TO close, was only a scant 10
points, the new crop months, Septem-
Der and October. dropped fully 15
points. This would furnish a pretty
strong indication that the fertilizer
people were availing of the squirt in
the market to sell the fall deliveries
short, against cotton expected from
fertilizer sales. Nearly every year
this particular short interest becomes
a tower of strength to the market
some time or other during the sea-
son.
There does not seem to be much ba-
sis for the claim that the decrease in
receipts is due to weather conditions
in the South. 1t is possible that the
movement may pick UP a little again,
after so very sharp a drop, but there
appears no prospect from now on of
equalling last years movement or that
of the year before, except for a tenn
porary spurt here and there. 1t is
predicted that a 10000. 900 bale estf-
mate will be much more popular in a
month or two. 1t is also to be rea-
sonably expected that prices will go
up further as crop estimates come
down.
Grain markets were quiet. wheat
closing about unchanged at 7sc. while
corn and oats are 1c lower. The un-
settled and uncertain condition of the
speculative situation in corn and oats
served as a drag to wheat for nearly
all the wheat news was bullish. Re-
ceipts were light, there was a good de-
crease in the visible supply, and cables
were steady. Moreover, the crop is
said to be in a condition rendering II
susceptible to future injury, .and first
reports from the India crop are poor
The price should advance, but pur-
chases are advised only on the recess
sions, as the market is very nervous.

THE FARM AND THE GARDEN
contlnued from sLxth Page.

kitchen garden. In every garden
there should be celery nearly the year
round. especially from spring until au-
tumn. The beds for celery should be
about feet wide, allowing five rows
of plants for this width and any
length desired. The beds are chiefly
prepared with plow, harrow and roller,
but after the plants are set out the
cultivation is done entirely with the
hoe. iH'fS- 80
The BEDS having been well prepared
manfred and rolled the plants are set
inches apart, each way. Set out good,
stock plants, pressing the soil firmly
to the roots. Water freely as neces-
sary. Push, by frequent shallow hoe
ing and while the plants are growing
supply the necessary straw for mulch
ing between the plants and for com
pleting the blanching later. Here we
use the abundant pine straw for this
purpose, but any kind of straw will
answer. Cotton seed huls make an
excellent mulch, but do not answer
for blanching purposes. Some or q
weeks after setting out the mulch draw
up closely to the plants, covering the
soil fully between them. The mulch
should be several inches thick.

Cotton Crop E.timntins.

Editor Morning News: A New Or
leans concern which is rapidly accumu-
lating an enviable reputation through
out the South by being persistently and
forever engaged in doing the utmost to
depress the price of cotton, comes out
with a characteristic statement again.
The statement assumes, in effect,
that the Southern consumption from
now on, estimated at $685. bales, Is
virtually in sight already, but this
years increase makes no difference
whatever in the balance remaining to
come via ports and overland.
If mama has put aside ten cakes,
being two each for Johnny and his
four little brothers and sisters, and
Johnny gets at them and puts away
five, it is quite plain that the other kids
viii have to make other arrangements
or do without their full share.
The New Orleans concern says that
by adding the Southern consumption
from Feb. 1, to Sept. J.. $4,000 bales
tn the amount officially in sight at the
former date, we have $685. 900 virtually
in by Feb. 1. Then, by adding to this
the balance to come in afterwards dur
ing different years of comparison, we
can figure out any kind of a crop. For
instance, estimating by the largest
year-last year-the crop would be 10,-
S73, 900 bales, and by the smallest year,
10,42S,000. This smallest year, 1896, the
Southern consumption after Feb. I, was
only 347 900; but 1t is coolly assumed
that an increase of $4,000 in Southern
consumption will not in any way re-
duce the amount to come via ports and
overland. In other words little Johnny
is expected to eat the cakes and leave
them, too.
But this is not the only ingenious
point in this New Orleans statement.
The casual reader will have noted that
comparisons are made with 1901, 1900.
1899 1898 and 1895. The skip from 1898
to 1895 was made because the move
ment for 1896 and 1897 was entirely too
small to be useful in this candid argu-
ment.
According to the true New Orleans
figures II the amount to come in after
Feb. /. including Southern consumption
and everything, be equal to the largest
year, 1901 the crop win be 1876. 900
bales: but IL it be the same as the
Smallest" year. after judiciously omit
ting two years which were much
smaller. the crop will be only 9,sl6, 900
bales. Compared with 1896 or 1897, OF
course the result would be considera-
bly, smaller still. Democritus

are said to show that on some Of the

How Raleigh Man Snys He Saw
Things at New York


Things at New York.
From the New York Commercial.
The Charlotte IN. c. Observer re-
Gently printed a story which has a ten
dency to cast discredit on the methods
or doing business on the New York
Cotton Exchange. The story is one of
the sort which comes under the head
of important, if TRUE" AS II is with
out foundation. in fact, it loses it's i'm
portance.s The Observer says
Some days ago a Raleigh man was
IN New York, and asked at the Cotton
exchange what the receipts at Raleigh
were that day The reply was 'S5S
bales The Raleigh man said to him
seI That's queer l do not believe
the receipts are half so large as that
lie went out and telegraphed the secre-
tary of the local Cotton Exchange here.
VINO replied that the receipts were 1853.
The manipulators had raised the fig
ures' and made them 1853. coolly adding
a couple of hundred. The Raleigh maj
went back to the Exchange and with
out saying more about the receipts,
asked what was the amount of cotton
in warehouses at Raleigh. A book
was opened and he was told unblush-
ingly. 5000 bales 1t nearly took his
breath, as he knew we'll there were not
1900 bales in warehouses. and that the
entire receipts so far this season are
not much over 5000.
Now, then, this is one scheme Here
is another 'On the board at the Cot
ton Exchange at New York will be
put up the figures. Receipts at New
Orleans this day last year, say, 1000
bales: to-day receipts estimated at, say.
10000 Perhaps the actual receipts of
the day may be only 10000, but the 'es-
innate catches the eye and does its
work. New York lives on Jays This
is the way it works them. It is a
pretty story with a moral neatly tucked
away in It, but jays never look for
the moral They simply glance and
then bite-like the silly things that
they are"
Supt. William V. King of the Cotton
Exchange, when shown the statement,
said: II think somebody has been hav-
ing fun at the expense of the Oh
server. The story is too silly to war
rant serious comment OF course. it is
so absurd as to be utterly without
foundation. I do not believe the peo-
pie of Raleigh will take it seriously.
for they know we are not children at
play on the Exchange here. They know
it would not be to our advantage to
misrepresent or distort figures. Our
information is obtained from Cotton
Exchanges where such exchanges ex-
list, and where they do not, we obtain
the statistics from some reliable firm
in the business. My opinion is that the
story was concocted by an individual
who has peculiar sense of humor."
