Independence Day Doings

Bisbee has taken holiday appearance with its great showing of 'Old Glory" The sight of the old flag stirs the blood of the old man well as the young. It is revival of the spirit of I776; the true Americanism of us all Such spirit has made us nation and given place preemi- nent among world powers.
 The city in general will celebrate, the store will celebrate, and altogether it will be such a day as Bisbee has never seen before.

In the English market with sales re-
stricted to 500 bales, was looked upon as

definite conclusions were to be drawn
therefrom. The weekly report from Man

corning trade abroad, though 1t was noted
that the stability of the rise in the values
of the raw staple was seriously doubted,

in Texas attracted an active demand for

as much resistance to any pressure at

COTTON MARKET
WAS FAIRLY EASY
Outlook for Receipts is More
Favorable
DECLINE OF 3 TO 6 POINTS
There Were Reports Of Flood in Sew
eral Important Sections and the
South Sent Buying
Orders.

New York, March 2-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at decline of 8 to 6
points and following the call worked still
little lower under liquidation and
some short sales, encouraged by the dis
appointing Liverpool cables which were
due to show a decline of about 2 to 8
points on the local close of Saturday,
were to 7 points lower before our OPEN
ing. The outlook for receipts also was
more favorable. Early estimates pointed
to a movement of the day of about 81 900
bales and the actual figures showed U.s.
772 bales against 1924 bales last year
The easier tone was of short duration
however, for clique brokers actively sup
ported the market at the lower level
There were reports Of flood In certain
important sections and while the esti-
mated receipts at leading points tomor-
row indicated a full movement, the south
sent buying orders here. Liverpool show
ed some little improvement at her close,
and the exports for the day were seen
to be heavy, amounting in fact to 81, S51
bales. The continued support of the pool
and the f1rmness of spot markets through
out the south brought in good buying
at the lower levels and prices were rapid
ly advanced to % points, March selling
at 1925 and May 1911. These prices sur
passed the previous high points by 10
points on March and points on May.
From this level there was a slight reac-
tion under profit-taking, and the mar
ket was finally steady, net to II points
higher. Total sales futures estimated
5000 bales.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The activity in the cotton market con-
tinued yesterday. After fiuctuating fever
ishly all morning the staple finally closed
steady at the prices prevailing Saturday
Ten cents was asked for spot cotton at
Admission, Talladega and other points in
this district yesterday, but dealers re-
fused to give the price demanded by the
farmers The latter seem to think that
by holding back the supply the cotton
buyers will be forced to give in, but con-
sentative dealers say that cotton is not
worth 10 cents.
Inman & Co. estimate that the crop
for this year will be approximately TO-
100000 bales. OF this supply 100000 bales
is still in the hands of the farmers
Local cotton men seem to think that
the present high prices for cotton are due
not to speculative manipulation, but to
the simple law of demand and supply
A well known Boston cotton broker esti-
mates that the mills could use 1,000.000
more bales than are at present in sight.
The demand this year is very heavy and
1t is the spectators and not the farm
ers who are suffering from the present
rise.
AS dealers were not disposed to pay
10c for spot there was little trading here
Business In other branches of trade was
quiet Heavy shipments of Irish potatoes
arrived yesterday from the west and are
selling at rs and 80 cents per bushel Cali
fornia oranges and western apples are
In the greatest abundance. Fresh ship
ments are arriving daily but there are
no changes In the quotations The mar
ket for all kinds of fruit is unusually
active.
Meats and food stuffs are about the
only staples in the grocery line that are
attracting attention just now The de-
mand for both is very good and a truck
piled high with baled hay with negro
behind 1t is a familiar sight at all the
wholesale grocery houses.
Quotations In stocks and bonds remain
ed steady yesterday, with trading light.
