Cotton Letter

Raleigh. N. c.. May 10.-There was
no change in the market today. Out
of possible ten reports, you can
safely say the price will break in the
case of nine, and may not go up in
the tenth The report today was
about as expected, and as nothing i'm
portant is expected from crop reports
in May, prices sold off after the re-
port came out. The average trader
takes no stock in weather accounts
before the middle of June. Nearly
every season things move along about
the same during the planting season.
There is nothing to say and less to do.
Nature takes it's way and the plant
gets started. Then comes the report
period. Reports don't amount to
mach one way or the other either in
April and May. 1t is a small wonder
that prices ran off after the report
came out today. 1t means nothing
The market is the same kind OF
market it has been for weeks. And
not one to be short of in our opinion.
From the way it acts it is a short
market and is being manipulated
Later on there may be developments
1t will take a big crop to give us ten
cent cotton. Any trouble will give us
15c. cotton next year again. RISKS
are too great to be short. we would
like to get October below lie. before
the middle of June. The market for
cotton futures closed quiet.

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, May 10.-Only the spe-
cial activity of such usually dormant
stock as Consolidated Gas kept to-
days stock market from the smallest
aggregate OF transactions for the year.
The last cause for the lethargic mark
ct 20 be removed is the completion
of the Panama Canal payment, which
is now practically achieved, although
the call of 10 ner cent of government
deposits in banks, which fell due to-
day, and tho further call of 10 per
cent for June first arc resulting OPP
erations from the Panama payment
and remain to be reckoned 1t is
quite evident, however that the trans
actions will not cause any immediate
ruffle in the money situation. The
conviction is growing, however, that
the cause of the stagna ton in the
stock market is deeper lying than any
temporary factor and has to do with
the gradual emerging Of the condi-
tons of general contraction in bust
ness and industry in all directions.
An important phase of this contrac-
uon is the deficient wheat crop in
promise. The varying opinions Of the
prospects for the bill undcr consid-
Sfduon by the governor of New York
caused the fluctuations in Consoli-
udled and Brooklyn Union Gas. Some
part of the present extreme paucity
ol me dealings iii stocks is undoubt-
ediy que to refusal Of business from
OUTSIDE customers Of class whose
actINltles have been under reprobation
on the Consolidated Stock Exchange

Market Letter.
Especial to News and Observer.o


New York, May 10.-Today's mar
kct for stocks was as dull and unpro-
tective of special features as we have
been accustomed to for the past few
weeks. Some activity was noticeable
i'm Consolidated Gas, which declined
sharply on the failure of the governor
to sign the Remsen bill as yet.
1t is cheering to note the increased
demand for standard railway bonds
and when this demand is nally salts
fed we may expect a better and more
settled market. 1t would appear
therefore that we are nearing the end
of the period of excessive dizziness and
that any increase in activity will bring
higher prices and the market is only
waiting the initiative by the leaders.
Unless the influence of the weekly
and monthly crop reports to be pub
lished today, the wheat market de-
veloped considerable irregularity be-
ing both strong and weak by turns

Futures opened steady and from

being caused by the Improvement in

opening there was a good demand for
July, and it looked as if weak shorts
were covering. On the strength of
the demand July advanced s points
to 1920, but later on the market be-
came stagnant and July fell to 14.14,
recovered to 14.19 from which it fin
ally fell to 1899, after the reading of
the government crop report, which
was less bullish than expected The
closing was quiet with net losses of

a range of about to points. AT
midday, however, the weekly report
of the weather bureau showing a quite
general Improvement in cotton crop
conditions over the belt, notwithStand-
ing the private advices claiming dam
age by continued cold weather caused
active liquidation and the market
sold to net loss of about to IA

The general impression is that the
monthly report will record the condi-
ton as around 73 to a and any devia-
ton from these figures will doubtless
cause an increase of activity attended
by some excitement in great circles
EarIy cables were favorable to cot
ton and prices opened slightly higher
on light transactions The weekly re-
port issued at noon was construed as
favorable to the crop and prices
slowly eased off below yesterdays
closing figures. While there are still
complaints of too cool weather. we
gather from various sources, that the
crop as a whole is progressing favor
ably and that there has been a large
increase in acreage We faVor the
