Baxter & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 27.-Cables were not
up to expectation this morning when we
opened, and the result was a lower
market. The feeling was mixed but
bulls felt confident of holding their
position while prepared for more or less
setbacks of temporary nature. Back
of the movement there is such a fine
spot demand and clamor for raw mate
rial that there is every reason for look
ing for higher market for some time.
The statistical situation remains very
strong. The stocks in Liverpool in
creased during the week $4,000, but the
afoat stocks lost $4,000, leaving to-day's
figures $4,000 still behind last year for
warehouse and afloat stocks combined
Continued wet weather was reported In
the South, and especially'in Texas, and
there is not the slightest evidence of an
increased movement, but rather the
contrary. Such long spell of bad
weather is unknown to the oldest inhab-
itants. and it may be accepted as a fact
that Texas will make a very late start
with her next crop, so late in fact, as
to make the movement quite moderate
The market turned firmer after the
opening, port receipts $1,000, against 49,
900 last year. In sight was estimated
by Hester at $4,000 to $4,000, against
$4,000 last year.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-02-28

into sight during the week was 1866
900. against $4,000 last year and the
total marketed from Sept l to date
has been 1855, 900, against S,739,000 last
year. The visible supply of American
during the week decreased 123, 900,
against a decrease of $4,000 last year.
and the total to date is 1854 900,
against 1891, 900 last year. and 3,040, 900
years before last. Spinners' takings
of American cotton during the week
were 2S9000, against $4,000 last year.
making the total takings to date 1885,,
900 in excess of last year. They have
added $4,000 to their reserve stock this
week. The spinners of the world now
hold in stock of American 2,042, 900
bales, as compared with 1911 900 last
year. an excess of 431, 900, against
which the visible supply of American
shows d decrease to date of 527, 900 I'M
der last year; therefore it will be read
lily seen that almost the entire defci-
ency in the visible is due to the eX
cessive takings of spinners which is
being carried by them in the invisible
supply at the expense of the visible.
In other words, instead of the mer-
chants carrying this stock in the WISH
BILE. the spnners already have it in the
invisible and they may consequently
withdraw from the market when least
expected. Sentiment continues very
favorable to the article, but We think
present prices are high and discount
everything in the situation on it's mer-
its, barring manipulation. There is a
tendency, however, to manipulate in
all markets. which make opinions val
ueless for the moment

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 27.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at decline of to
6 points, chiefly as a result of unload
ing by room longs and some little
selling for the short account based
upon the disappointing cables which
due to come about to 3 points higher
in order to reflect our market of yes
terday, reported a practically I'M
changed market at the time of the
opening. Following the call, however,
there was rally, the bull clique again
supporting values.
There was very general disincli-
nation among conservative operators
to go short while the movement con-
tinues to present unfavorable COM
parsons, and to-day's port receipts
were again considerably below last
years. The weather South continues
bad for the movement and it was
noted that New Orleans was relative
ly steadier earlier than was the local
market.
The early rally carried prices up
about to points on the active op-
tions and at this level profit taking
again became a factor, prices working
steadily downward, a matter of some
6d9 points below the closing figures
of yesterday. This reactionary tend
ency was encouraged by rather heav-
Ter estimates for to-morrow's move
ment to leading points, but in the
mid-afternoon gave way to. another
wave of bullishness as a result of the
bullish weekend figures and continued
f1rnness of spot markets with the bull
clique again supporting values. I'm
der this buying prices crossed the high
point of yesterday, notably on May
and March, which sold at 1912 and
1914, respectively, and the market was
finally very steady, net 2 to s points
higher, the best of the session, and
season. Total sales futures estimated
100000 bales. p r.. I'D, ..-- -.

Liverpool refused to follow the ad-

reason given by the cablegrams being
the interruption to Geographic service

market has shown a disposition to ease
under outside liquidation, though sup
ported and rallied by the bull party
bidding for 10000 bales when at the
weakest. The weather throughout the
South has been the worst during this
month on record, and yet the move
ment promises to reach 900, 900 bales
Commission houses have advised eau
ton as European spinners show a dis
position to buy Indian cotton instead of
American cotton when possible at these
prices. Local operators believe the
concentrated long interest has not liq-
Undated their interests, and they mean
to act on the bull side. The market
advanced in the afternoon on the large
decrease in the visible, as compared
with the last year. and was supported

Friday, Feb. 81 1903.
For a short time this morning it
looked as if the cotton market might
be on the point of a reaction. Liver
pool was disappointing in so far as it
came almost unchanged, whereas an
advance of or points had been
counted on as due. Prices declined
about points early in the New York
market then fluctuated moderately,
and late in the day moved up to a
level above yesterdays high figure.
The close was very steady, about /
point below the top, May points over
yesterday. The distant months Sep
TENDER and beyond, shared more lib
orally in the late firmness, and closed
about points up for the day.
There was not very much doing in
the local spot. market, but quotations
were marked UP 1-16 at the close.
The amount in sight for the week fell
somewhat below estimates, being 1885,
900 bales. against $4,000 last. year.
Naval stores were again firm and
unchanged, in fact, they have been
so throughout the week. Turpentine
holds steadily to its top notch price of
Csc, and the stock is slightly smaller.
In the Chicago market corn was still
the leader, and it's sustained rise of
&c to 47Ac for May, impaired some
strength to other cereals. Wheat
gained 12c, and oats a small fraction.
Provisions continue strong, with a
further advance in meats. t.r.,1t

tally in the quotations for local securi-

J. III. Bouslog, the industrial
agent of the Gulf and Ship Island
road, is accomplishing a good work
with his campaign for the establish
ment of truck and fruit farms and
canning factories near the towns along
the system between Jackson and Gulf
port. During the past week Mr..
Bouslog has organized canning fac
tory concerns at Collins, Virgins and
Seminary, the promoters at each
place signing contracts with the
farmers to take the products of a
certain acreage devoted to fruits and
vegetables. The railroad company
is liberal stakeholder in each con-
Germ, and the industrial department
of the road are satisfied that the
new industry will be a success from
the start.
