COTTON.

New York, March 12.-The sentiment
regarding the cotton market is becoming
daily more bearish. The bull movement
in futures is dependent almost entirely
upon the caprice and ability OF one man
to hold the market and force spinners
into buying at the highest price in re-
cent years. 1t is stated upon good au-
thority that a large number of Northern
spinncrs have entered into an agreement
to withhold purchases for the present,
and the best advices obtainable are that
Southern mills are fully supplied and in
some cases Offering to resell surplus sup
plies. The East India crop is said to be
400 600 bales larger than last year and
100000 bales larger than two years ago.
Prices upon the New York Stock Exchange
continue to decline. A very bad bank
statement is expected Saturday; money

an error In the Barcelona stock of "a 900

correction of $4,000 bales made yesterday

visible, supply is concerned. This is a
somewhat discouraging comment on the
value of the much exploited statistical
situation in cotton. Southern advices
are agreed that the weather having been

value of cotton exports compared with

elimination of the speculative rise in
cotton and the heavy selling at the reac-
ton gives promise of continued rcplen-
ishment of our foreign credits by the
outgo of cotton AS for the immediate
money situation the subTreasury yester-
day took another half a million dollars
from the market. There was a deposit Of
100000 today for transfer from tho New
Orleans and a small sub Treasury debit

Cotton Letter.



New York, March 12.--Mr. Price issued
a circular with bullish tone yesterday
and followed it with statement this
morning that he was not bullish but be-
lieved cotton was too high. This upset
the market entirely and traders were at
sea. not knowing which way to turn. \
few buyers orders advanced the market
easily in the early trading and later n
wave of selling orders caused a break
of is points. On the whole it was the
most exciting day since May cotton sold
at 1917. rhe bull leaders are undoubted-
Iy working in harmony with Mr. Price,
and it looks as II their object is to
create a short interest The public are
not long of cotton, those who are inter
ested are as rule on the short side.
Usually when prices are high. the public
buy on every advance, but this year has
been an exception they only buy when
the market is weak and take profits on
bulges. This has been gcing on for sew
oral months. and has been very success
ful The position Of spot cotton con-
tinues to gain in strength, and the actual
statistical figures are the strongest ever
known. Cotton goods and yarns are Is per
cent higher than a year ago and spinners
can pay 1872 cents for raw cotton and
make monev az the n asent prices for
their product. Meanwhile the market is
influenced by actions of large operators
from d6y to day. Yesterday a German
operator caused violent break, and be
las been hammering the market all day,
but spot cotton houses bought sufficient
~ 20 prevent any serious decline. It is
significant that the people who handle
the actual stuff are buyers. while the
speculative concerns seem TO have sell
ing orders. We believe that on reactions,
purchases Of July and August will re-
turn handsome profits.

Especial to News and Observer)
New York, March 12.-At one time to-
day the bottom seemed to have dropped
out of the market. In every way prices
crumbled in a more sensational fashion
than on the previous break. Taking the
break from about $50 to go on this
decline, we believe less cotton was
sold than on the previous decline. In
the early dealings this morning May ran
from 97S to $3.50, and then the break
started. Before traders knew what was
going on May was 96S. After a ten point
reaction the afternoon brought out more
pressure and early low prices were again
reached 1t now looks as though the
real bull market of the season was over
1t will require a lot of buying to get
it back to the previous high figures
We will have to have new factors. An
overflow of the Mississippi might turn
prices up and the May people here may
buy on further break to hold, but
each day we get nearer spring the load
will increase We don't want to buy cot
ton and believe in selling August on all
rallies now. The South will plant for
the biggest crop ever raised, and such
rains as we have had this year will help
make a record yield. The stock of cot
ton here is small and all that. but only
means sell on bulges, not on breaks. We
would rather take our chances on the
short side on every advance towards 91Ac.
for August The financial situation is
not encouraging for buyers at any such
prices as we are having now. Later in
the season it may turn out that the crop
is moderate and this will mean high
prices. But before that comes factors
will favor short sellers on every bulge

New York March 12.-The' stock mar
ket today started out with it's recent ten
dency to reverse its position of the day
before, but the measuring of the oscilla-
tion fell to such small proportions today
that the room traders became discour-
aged in their efforts to scalp a profit
and in the end abandoned the market to
semi -stagnation. Speculative attention
reverted TO special causes. affecting in
diVidual stocks and today's largest deal
ings and widest movements We're in this
class. There was no evidence of further
pressure of liquidation and call loans
were made on the Stock Exchange at 515
per cent and in exceptional cases at 5
per cent. This was partly due to the re-
lease of funds by the liquidation of
stocks and partly to the decreased de-
mand in view of the speculative dull
ness Wall Street was obliged to accept
the intmation received today that the
Secretary of the Treasury had decided
that the present money situation in New
York did not require action for relief by
his department The fact is beginning

New York. March En- spite of re-
duced spot demand at Liverpool sales
today only 5000 bales, there was a great
deal of nervousness at the opening among
our night shorts, owing to the alarming
river bulletins, and their haste to cover
sent prices to 10 points up.
AS an example of the ruddcrless con-
dition of public opinion the government s
prediction of fair weather was sufficient
to cause a collapse Of 20 points from the
early rise.
As we said yesterday, opinions must
change with the weather, and on the first
sign of approaching rain in the cotton
belt it is safe to buy for a quick scalp.
But remember always that this is a
scalping market, and profits must be
seized quickly to prevent their getting
away.
One feature is quite noticeable, and that
is. that when sellers get active, no one
attempts to stop their progress. and
sharp declines are therefore produced
yet. when these shorts try to cover. the
big bulls bid up prices on them. and
make them pay as dear as possible.
1t goes without saying that fluctuations
under such conditions are sharp. as well
as frequent. and furnish a fine field for
scalping operations. Another feature OF
note Is the rapid dwindllng of the prem .
ium of May Ten days ago May ruled
so points higher than August today the
premium is only 40, and likely to be still
further reduced, as fresh buyers look
upon May as manipulated and TO be
avoided, and besides they feel that as
supplies will be scarcer in August, prices
ought to be correspondingly high.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, March 12.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of 2 to
points and worked upward a matter of
6 to 8 points under better Liverpool
cables than were due on the New York
close yesterday, and continued flood re-
ports. In the early trading the new crop
months came in for special attention
and tho greatest advances were scored in
the autumn position on the ground that
the recent unfavorable weather has
greatly delayed planting, and that conse-
quently a late movement is probable
The main buying came from shorts and
when May had sold up to 9S6 and July
9S5 long cotton began to come upon the
market in large blocks, arousing fresh
approximations among the smaller longs
that the clique holdings were being lqui-
dated. The weather South also showed
signs of clearing up, leading to anticipat-
ions of an expanding movement and the
early estimates for today's ports were
considered liberal considering the cond-
tions of the roads as indicated by the
statement from Washington postponiGg
the March ginner's report to about April
/, for the reason, it is alleged, that the
roads are impossible. Liverpool turned
easier in the later trading, closing at a
: decline of s to 10 points against 6b071a
points at the time of the local opening
The selling was further encouraged by
the estimates for tomorrows receipts at
leading points and reports of labor
trouble at certain New England centers
and as the decline progressed stop loss
orders were uncovered. After loss of
10 to 10 points from the best had been
recorded the market took fresh turn
under renewed clique support and profit
taking by shorts. The port receipts
turned out less than expected, being
1S,14S bales against 81 800 last year and
exports were heavy. There was partial
reaction under selling by long and shorts.
The market was finally steady net one
point higher to six points lower: The
advance being confined to September
