the effect of advancing prices from q

caused by the improvement in Liver

said a well known factor yesterday,
after getting seemingly tired of seeing
nothing doing posted for the third
consecutive day.
The turpentine situation summed up
simply means that it is a recalcitrant
market. No sales were recorded again;
and the receipts were so light that one
could scarcely notice them, thirty three
casks being the sum total for the day
The exports were even lighter than
the receipts, only Is casks being re-
ported. Factors expect that the first
arrivals of the new crop will begin to
make their appearance early next
month, and an early and large crop is
the idea advanced by the more con-
sentative ones.

predicted in these columns, there was
nothing TO characterize the rosin mar
ket, as out of the ordinary yesterday.

Mon. Sully, the Napoleon of Cotton,
mingled with the bears in the New
York ring yesterday, and for a short
time sold the feecy staple. In a
twinkling, as if guided by presdigita-
tours wand, futures went down.
Everything took a roseate hue be-
fore the lunch hour The New Orleans
bulls were supporting the market with
all the zeal and enthusiasm that has
characterized their movements since
cotton commenced to make its sensa-
tional squirt scare three months ago
Everything tended toward the high
est notch. The cables were hopeful,
and Liverpool gave assurance of hold
ing up the market.
Suddenly the tickers brought the
news of bank failures in Vienna, Paris
and Berlin, and there was break of
New York showed a net decline of
from 6S to 70 points, and New Orleans
also slumped more than half a cent.
The local spot market practically
stood still, and no sales were regis
tered during the day
In the (. o. b. ring buyers and SELL
ers were at least 12c apart at the close
of the day. although the opening prom
ised well. Cotton on q basis of good
middling was quoted 141zc at the OPEN

practically nothing doing at the close.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-25
ices about as follows:
COTTON FUTURES.

New York, FeSA 24.-The market for
cotton futures opened firm at a decline
of points on April. but generally
unchanged to points higher, and fol-
lowing the call ruled firm for the first
half hour or so on active covering
and New Orleans bull support. March
sold up to 1880; May to 1850, and
July TO 14S0c. these being net gains
of 27@32 points, but the local bull
leader appeared to be selling liberal
ly, presumably for profits, and soon the
market began to work lower.
Just before midday, stop orders were
reached. and there was rapid break
of something over half a cent. At the
decline room covering and buying on
the reaction theory caused a partial
reaction of 20q25 points, but this at
tracted heavy selling by New Orleans
bulls, and the market later turned
weak again, with March selling down
to 13.55c; May to 13.SSc, and July to
1850, a break of a full cent a pound
on the active months and a net de-
cline of 6SG72 points.
The market was very active and ex-
cited on the down turn, and ii APP
peared that the reports of trouble
among financial houses abroad had
some influence as well as reports that
the advances had restricted demand
for spot cotton in the South, particu
larly for export.
There was an idea that the big bulls
were willing to make a better buying
level, at the same time shaking out
trailers and by stimulating export de-
mand through a return to a lower
level of spot prices still further
strengthening the spot position dur
ing the end-season.
Just before the close the decline to
around 1850 for July and 1850 for
March attracted a good demand from
important Philadelphia spot interests,
and while the local bull leader contin-
ued to sell prices recovered about 100
20 points of the loss, and the market
was finally firm at a net decline of
40G60 points on months up to and in
Guiding September, while the later po-
sitons were net 3@15 points lower.
Sales were estimated al 800, 900 bales.
Port receipts, while a little larger than
yesterday were small, as compared
with last year, while the estimates for
to-morrow's movement were light, and
exports, which have recently been run
ming light, were fair. Outside buyers,
however, are rendered exceedingly
timid by the warlike rumors from
abroad. and the evidences of finan-
cial difficulties in Europe as reflected
by continued failures in Berlin, Paris
and Vienna, and prices are readily in
fluenced by the operations of large
professionals, who many believe are
engaged in scalping the market rather
than in any well defined campaign.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-25

the local market should work back TO
the 1914 cent basis. where spinners are
willing to buy. 1t must be remembered
that there is no weight of cotton any
where, and that manipulation Is com
paritively simple.
We cannot miss this opportunity or
paying a deserving tribute to the New
York operators in saying that they
seem inclined to cease when prices get
where spinners will not buy. In other
words the operation is very difficult
from that conducted by New Orleans.
When spinners get all the cotton lat
ter on, we may have a very different
course of prices
