Ware e. Leland'S
Cotton Letter

Raleigh. N. c.. Fetf &c, 19G4.-The
mCst important event OF the week has
been the apparent shifting of position
on the part of the largest interest IN the
market. Above Il y cents all the cotton
bought at low figures came on the mar.
I ker and prices were depressed from
about Ice. to 1870 IN the decline sup
port was lacking but the cot,Oh was
all taken by the general trade. ana con-
ls!dering the price level the heavy sell
ling and the war news, the market show
cd a decided resistance to pressure. This
was due to the small movement Of cotton.
Receipts are practically nothing and
this brought in spinners on the decliae
so that the market is stronger than
anyone expected.
Ii view Of prices and conditions two
weeks ago the situation now appears most
encouraging to buyers. 'The shifting Of
the bull leader TO the other side Of
tbe market is not hard to understand.
Above II hconts the spot demand ceased
Now If we are to have high prices later
III it is advisable to get as much spot
cctton out of the way as possible. II
prices can be kept around t4c. Tor a
tine, and the spinners permitted - buy
supplies. there will be very little cotton
on the market later on. That is the
best interests. of all concerned will be
helped by quiet market here at IA
cents.
In order to help the spinner get his
cotton the leading bull mere sold out
It may appear to be somewhat irrational
to assign this motives to The operation,
bl.t the leader IS said to have given
just this explanation of his selling. II
is sound reasoning and represents a far
sighted view of the cotton situation. Lei
the spinner get all the cotton he wants
and then go ahead with the future mar
k4; 1t Will be easy. to put July or Au-
gust to Ice, 17c. or 49,, with no cotton IL
the country.
Now as to the future; on such
decline as we have had to below 13c
here is very small inducement offered
to the buyer OF cotton. Receipts are
so small that the crop must be lign,
ore If this proves to be the case We can
oGsilY see higher prices THAI any yet
reached At least cotton Is worth i3c
or lac. with 10, 100000 bales, or 10.I00 900
bales. and should it turn out less than
hat, why zoe. is not dream Of impoS-
s;bility Therefore. when tho market gets
DUN ltC. we are DullS Oi the iliSl water
and advise buying by all means.
According to secretary King, of the
New York Cotton ExchaGe the total
amount OF cotton brought into sight
thus far this season is 1SO,S12 bales less
than the total movement II this day
last season. Total in sight &,717.740
,baise, against ,S,S98552 bales last year.
Port receipts for today were estimated
x II 900 bales, against 1866 bales last
week, and 2S,247 bales last year.

Special to News and observerO


New York, Feb 26-Shorts covering,
which was in evidence yesterday and
which caused an advance throughout the
list was not continued in today's market.
After a fairly firm opening prices drag
Sed off and losses exceeding a point or
more were scored in the active Issues.
In the early dealings marked strength
appeared in sugar, Brooklyn Rapid Tran
SIT and Copper, but notwithstanding the
Supreme Courts decision IN favor of the
Amalgamated Company in the McGinness
suit, these stocks including Copper, par
ticipated in the decline, which followed.
We are inclined to think that Copper
should be bought on the strength of to-
days development and predictions are
freely made that the stock will cross
sixty. The market is still sensitive to
war news and financial centres of Eu-
rope are being closely observed. Trad
ing will doubtless continue in light vol
ume pending further definite information.
Grain and provisions were reactionary
on heavy selling for profit May wheat
sold off over 3 cents per bushel. but the
July option was comparatively strong,
and the bulk of the new buying was in
this option.
Cotton had another day OF strength
something more than SO per bale on ag-
gressive buying by shorts aided by the
rapidly diminishing movement.

some increase IN the selling pressure but
this did not deveop to noticeable ex-
