Abercrombiela Co.'S Market Letter.

As was to lJe expected the report for the month of March on the progress of new crop preDaratons, issued by an ac- cepted authority today was rather un- favorable, returns from correspondents during the past ten days showing that farm work and weather conditions have deteriorated, as compared with two weeks ago. Prospects are still brighter than at this time one year ago. 65 per cent of the land being in condition for planting as compared with 42 per cent last year. In conclusion however, 1t was stated that it will take favorable weather and hard work from now on to bring planting operations tb normal basis In rela- ton to the screage to be devoted to cot ton this spring reports indicate no greater increase than was contemplated one month ago. about per cent increase over one year ago. An increase in the use of fertilizer is indicated but to what extent it is not mentioned. Judging from the above. the substance of same would lead one to believe that an effort is being made to hold down the acreage to a much smaller increase than generally looked for and as for the start of the new crop 1t would appear that 1t is behind a nor maj season The excellent state of trade in cotton goods throughout the world would seem to warrant an increase in acreage of al least 10 per cent in order to provide for the wants of the world next season, and in this connection an almost perfect planting and growing sea son would be required to produce more than ten million bales. That the spindles are at work to their full capacity is shown by the favorable weekly trade re- port cabled from Manchester yesterday and by the continued large spot sales at Liverpool.

clbert 6 clay's Market Letter.

The quietness prevailing in American markets is exerting a dalling influence upon the foreign market as well. options there were five to six points lower than Saturdays close, while spot transactions of 14,000 bales at three points decline con= tinue to reflect the excellent demand in trade centers. Cables intimated that some short selling coupled with liquida- ton were the effecting circumstances Tn the depression of values.
 Futures in the New Orleans market were lower. apparently for no other req son than the continued apathy of out side speculation and consequent absence of support The weather map, while fa- vorable nevertheless showed the exist ence of heavy frost in the northern DOT ton of the belt and additional prospects of a rain tomorrow in the extreme west.
 Gradual exhaustion of the supply of spot cotton and the prevailing unproht- able making basis for exports, are re- stricting business of magnitude in this department. The prime important fac tor that present market values hinge on must to a large extent, be the condi- ton of the weather for immediate fu- ture over cotton growing districts. on the whole even though setbacks have oe- cured in different localities preparations are generally considered to be eompara- lively we'll advanced, especially west of the Mississippi river, but a continuance of clear skies and good working days are almost essential to further the prog ress already made.
 The statistical position Is excellent and eliminating the possibilities of bearish manipulation, prices should be well sus- tained unless there should be pro- forged improvement in the weather

Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.


 The cotton market developed no partic- pool, was, if anything, little worse than expected, except on spots for which there was a good demand, final sales amounting to 14O00 bales. The weather map showed up clear all over the belt, and, consequently, the local market start ed off with a decline of to points. Early in the day May contracts sold as low as 11.07 but at this point, there de- veloped a reactionary tendency, which carried prices back to Saturdays clos ing level The inactivity prevailing in spot circles caused prices to ease off sev- eral points in the afternoon but shorts covered, to some extent, before the close, which was steady at a net loss of only 1 to points on the old crop and at a gain of to 8 points on the new crop months Spots were quiet and 1-16 lower on all grades, with total sales of 1750 bales. The fact that the old crop months closed at a decline while the new showed a small net advance for the day would seem to indicate that speculative activity is becoming more and more centered in the distant positions. Price today wired that he thought October and January cotton was cheap at under 101a cents, an opinion in which we heartily concur. The critical time of the planting season is HOW at hand, and weather conditions command the closest attention from all intelligent traders whose operations which will be based in great measure, on the kind of d start that the new crop gets.

bills as the result of his kindness to
the stranger. Notably is this the case
at fowler & Stockton s, where he is
confronted by bill for something like
twenty dollars for a suit OF clothes
purchased by Scott. the payment of
which he guaranteed.

his regular wages to be applied to the
cancellation of his debts. but somehow

up nearly 10 a hundred dollars, after
which he disappeared. He is believed
tc have gone west, although there is
no clue to his whereabouts. Scott
