LITTLE BUSINESS AT LONDON.
Slight Downward Tendency in Prices
Consols Gained Some.

LONDON, April There has been little
business this week in the stock exchange,
and dullness has been accompanied in most
of the departments by a slight downward
tendency In prices This condition Is the
natural resultant of several causes espe-
cially in the scarcity Of funds associated
with preoccupa tions of settlement and with
necessities attaching to the end of the quar-
ter. The settlement over and a new quar-
ter having started in. there seems to be
great abundance of money now, and prac-
ticaly all the market waits for Is peace In
the far east
1t is believed confidently on the stock ex-
change that peace is dawning, and 1t Is
also believed that when 1t is actually IN
sight there will be a great and STEADY
growth in the volume of stock dealings.
Indeed, this confident expectation of the
early end of the war has been influential all
through the week, its effect having been TO
cause resistance to the downward trend OF
the market so that price changes nave
really been very slight.
III some cases its effects have been even
more marked. Consols, for example, have
gained a little. and in the foreign section
the most important developments have been
gains by stocks most apt to be erected Dy
tho settlement between Japan and Russia,
which is considered to be extremely slgnif-
icant. Russian securities have been re-
markably steady.
British rails seem to have suffered more
than any other class of securities, and very
without a little shrinkage. Americans have
followed New York lead, mines have been
fairly firm but show no notable improve
ment in prices

THE NEW COTTON CROP.
Acreage Reduction This Year Not as
Much as Expected.

DISPATCHES to Dun's Review from many
noints in the cotton belt indicate that the
reduction in acreage this year VIII not
equal early expectations, but there is sim
gular unanimity regarding the decreased
use of fertilizers and smaller sales OF
mules implements and other plantation
supplies An average of estimates makes
the falling off In purchases of fertilizer
about 20 per cent.
Weather conditions have been much less
uniform, some sections expecting that
planting will be several weeks late, whiie
at other points an early crop Is anticipated.
Farmers are in strong financial conol1ioi'
as a rule. but many dealers and factors
will be conservative in making advances De-
cause of large stocks of old cotton that
cannot be disposed of probably.
Labor is scarce and commanding good
wages In most states, but few reports in
dictate that farm hands are available in
large numbers. In Texas some counties re-
port the outlook bright for the new crop,
the enormous yield just secured reducing
alarm regarding boil weevil. One dispatch
states that cold, wet weather has delayed
farm work. and the demand for implements
Is lighter than usual. while farm hands are
scarce at some points and numerous else
where.
Although farm stocks are large. much OF
this cotton was sold at seven cents or more,
and movement Is only delayed by sort
roads. Missouri and Arkansas dispatches
record a loss of 20 per cent in sales OF Ter
tilizers. - per cent in probable acreage.
and an increase of 30 per cent in stocks or
old cotton. Planting will be three weeks
later than last year and labor Is less scarce
Georgia reports show little reduction in
acreage unless planters find difficulty In Sc
curing advances from factors, who are
overloaded with old cotton.
The labor question is regarded as serious,
owing to extension of other Industries.
While original orders for fertilizers were
normal. cancellations are anticipated South
Carolina expects sales of fertilizers and
other supplies about Il per cent less. but
acreage maintained Financial conditions
are strong although stocks are still large.
The weather is favorable for early plant
ing
Tennessee reports reduction of 80 per
cent in sales of fertilizers, and planting
later than usual. but finances good and 1T
tie reduction in acreage expected. Stocks
in the hands of country merchants and
planters are 100 per cent larger than they
were year ago. Virginia dispatches indt-
cate % per cent loss in sales of fertilizers
and 20 per cent in acreage.
The weather is unfavorable and the last
crop was not profitable for factors. Stocks
are still large and there Is no disposition to
Sell.
