Look for Bear Pressure on Account
of Eastern War.
New York, Feb. 15.-Around the OPEN
ing this morning, it looked as if we
would have quiet day with very slight
fluctuations, but a wave of liquidating
orders came in, the majority from New
Orleans. and as there was no support
of consequence, the latter part of the
day was quite weak, with even pan
icky feeling at times.
Our private cables from Liverpool
state that Manchester is doing a better
business than for some time, and that
they expect spinners to increase their
takings, but there is no denying the
fact that there is considerable nervous
ness in all markets over the possibility
of political complications in the East,
which will not be conducive to a re-
sumption of bull speculation for the
present.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-16

Some one facetiously put a picture
of a rampant bull with the inscription
"2O-cent cotton" below the New Or
leans quotations on Change yesterday.
Tomorrow will be legal holiday on
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
and all business will be suspended for
that dav.
Traders and brokers seemed to be
more interested in Senator Hanna S
condition yesterday than in the down.
ward trend of cotton.
New Orleans sent out the following
bulletin yesterday, regarding the re-
cent Census Bureau cotton report, is
sued from Washington: Total aver
age weight of bales ginned, square
bales, 5.034; round bales, 2,47S, count
ing half bales average for entire coun-
try, is 5,021 Apply these averages the
number of bales ginned to Jan. 16 is
9,525, $3.50 bales"
Naval stores men are busy prepar-
ing for the turpentine and rosin ex-
hibit, which will be exhibited at st.
Louis.
Mr. John r. Young says turpentine
ought to be quoted at 40 cents now.
Mediums and commons" according
to naval stores men, are being kept
down, owing to the war risks in the
Baltic sea, occasioned by the Russian
Japanese passage at arms.
1t is estimated that since the be-
ginning of the year the speculative
transactions on the New York and
New Orleans Cotton Exchanges have
amounted to at least 100000 bales.
This means that in a period of about
thirty-tive business days the entire cot
ton crop of the United States has been
sold five times over. Taking 10 cents
as the average price of cotton during
that time the speculative sales on these
two exchanges have amounted to about
