WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
BY VIM. T. Williams.

By VIM. i. Williams.
The cotton market ruled feverish and
excited. There was a further decline
of nearly 1c on Monday, then a re-
covery of over lac. then on Tuesday,
upon the announcement of the ginners
report, another drop of over 114c. Low
point was at the opening on Wed
nesday, when May got to II. soc, and
July to soc. From this the mar
ket rallied again, finally closing at
only a few points below last weeks
figures for the active months.
The ginners report that about o.
100000 bales had been ginned up to
Jan. 16, was very disappointing to
such bulls as believed the total crop
would not exceed that amount. Near
ly 100000 bales were added to amount
reported the month before. and prob
ably there will be somewhere from
100000 to 100000 bales to be added
later. Then by adding for linters,
"city Crops corrections and new Au-
gust cotton, it will be seen that the
total is definitely pointing surprising
Iy close to 1900, 900 bales. The Chron-
icle's Little Rock correspondent an
nounces that picking is nearing COM
pletion." The movement keeps up
rather surprisingly considering the de-
moralized condition of the spot mar
kets in the interior, whereby business
was almost stopped.
AS to the course of the market, opin-
ions are of little value. The big bulls
may sustain prices. or they may let
go, voluntarily or otherwise. 1t is
very dangerous market for outsiders
to fool with, the safest proposition
probably being a sale of new crop de-
liveries on rallies. But even these
may be twisted if the short interest
should become little unwieldy.
Grain and provisions now offer a
much safer field for speculative invest
ment than cotton. Provisions were
more active and decidedly stronger,
although top prices were not MAIN
tanned. The feature was rapid adj
vance of over 81 90 a. barrel in pork
on Tuesday. Toward the latter part
of the week heavier receipts of hogs
exerted quoting influence. The net
gain in pork was $1.15 lard, 12A
points, and ribs, 2T1s points. Wheat
was strong, especially for July, which
sustained a rise of about 4c; May
gained about &c, of course, this was
largely attributable to the war, for
otherwise conditions were mostly of
a bearish character. During the week
coffee also made a substantial rally.
The provision markets afford the
most promising opportunities, prices
being much cheaper, relatively, than
those of other commodities. They will
almost surely ATTRACT more attention,
soon, and purchases are recommended
on weak spots. Ribs appear the cheap
est of all.

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall Street.

New York. Feb. 13.-Wall street has
proved its soundness by the stout re-
slstance offered to a quick succession
OF severe shocks. the like of which
have not been previously experienced.
The outbreak Of war: the Baltimore
lire, and the collapse of cotton specu-
lation, to say nothing of heavy new
railroad borrowings. combined to nut
a straln upon the monetary situation
lhat would have wrought disaster had
the financial fabric disclosed any weak
points of Importance. The fact. how
ever, that our market yielded only 4
couple OF points under such an avail
anche OF unfavorable news, and quick
~ reacted afterwards, is highly reas-
sllrlng; and demonstrates anew the
beneficial effect of our heavy Iouida-
ton in 1903.
The war, of course, temporarily over
shadows all other Influences. japanese
early victories encourage hopes of a
snort war as we'll as a check to Rus
sian encroachments, which latter are
certainly adverse to the progress of
civilization. In view of general SYM
pathy with the cause of Japan both at
home and abroad Japanese victories
are likely to have a stimulating effect
upon the stock markets. While Rus
sian success might, on the contrary,
exert depressing influences.
Another disturbing feature was the
long feared collapse of the specula-
ton in cotton. The government re-
port on cotton ginned, issued on Tues
day, proved conclusively that the bull
campaign on cotton had been conduct
ed on mistaken calculations as to the
crop. Some of the bull leaders had
predicted a yield as low as $500, 600
bales, while the government report
showed 9.4S5.OOO commercial bales GIN
ned I'D to Jan. Is, with d considera BILE
portion of the crop yet to be heard
from.
There is just one other feature which
induces caution, and that is the ex-
traordinary borrowings of big rail-
road and other corporations, chiefly the
railroads. Within the last few weeks
over $500, 900 of notes, bonds or other
obligations have been placed on the
market and more are likely to follow
The great bulk of these commitments
are of a first-class character, but they
are turning floating capital into fix
ed capital at a rate that if carried
much farther viii necessitate a halt.

Valdosta, Ca. Feb. lathe case
against e. Aspinwald of Pierce coun-
ty, charged with violating the peonage

section of the state. Aspinwald, as
stated in the Morning News, is now I'M

The witnesses for the government UNI
'dertook to show that Aspinwald had
caused the arrest of r. G. Buie. Nc
IVer Woodbury. and Wander White on
fictitious charges. and that Whites
wife and children were held as poems
for five weeks.
In his statement. Aspinwald under
took to show that the three negroes had
worked for him, and that labor agent
from Sugg's place in Charlton county
lured them away. After the men left.
ne found that one of them had forged
note and another had obtained money
from him under promises to work it
out. Under advice of his attorneys at
Blackshear, he swore out warrants
against the three negroes, one for forg-
SASJ OilC 1OI ana SWINGING

hands away from his premises.
John Durrance, his employee, who was
arrested on the same charge, had

City Court of Pierce county. He claim
ed he did not force the negro woman

naval stores circles. Aspinwald being
related to the most prominent families
