Gilbert & Claws Market Letter.

Despite the more favorable news from
Manchester and the excellent business
In finished goods reported as being done
with China, English options displayed
a weakness. entirely out of keeling with
the better trade conditions and closed
7 points under the previous days levels
Transactions In spots only showed a loss
of 2 points, sales 10000 bales.
The New Orleans market lent more
willing ear to the course of the for
eign market and prices opened lower.
but a rainy weather map caused some
short covering and a consequent improve
ment. The sensltiveness of the market is
plainly discernible In the whip-saw man
ner in which prices moved. The clear
ing weather forecast for the western half
of the belt no sooner became an influence
than a complete reversal of sentiment
was brought about by the decrease OF
108 900 bales in the Bremen stock, which
portends a very bullish visible state
ment.
The apparent refusal of holders of spot
cotton to follow the early decline was
the cause of a very dull market in this
department, but impaired some steadl-
ness to the option list. The rapid improve
ment in the statistical position of cotton
must soon be reckoned with as a factor
of Importance. Heretofore and during its
evolution, so many surface influences have
been present to destroy, In a measure.
the real significance that would nor
mally have been attached. but the time
is fast approaching when the widespread
consumption, the world over, must either
be checked by increasing values or else
II is likely the trade will be compelled
to adjust itself to more or less famine
conditions. And should the weather be-
come of such a character as to material
ly delay the new crop or in any way
curtail the widely accepted theory of a
considerable enlargement of acreage. a
much higher level of prices would not
seem illogical. At the same time. pend
ing further developments along these
lines, we are rather inclined to think
that prices will continue to follow the
recent cratic course.

Takino Of American Cotton.

lows, In round numbers:

took 1ss3O00 bales this year against -
$4,000 last year, and 1s73.O00 the year be-
fore: southern spinners $4,000. against
sol 900 last year. and 1.454.0oo the year

of the stock there resulting in re-
duction of 81 ,0d0 bales of American being
made. In. other words the stock of Amer
lean there was reduced by minus cor
rection of 6lO00 bales. and by spinners'
takings 1900 bales more than was re-
ceived. The market, however, failed to
give this important discovery the at
tenton II deserved, as such an item will
have to be added to spinners' takings
thus far this season and necessarily be
deducted from the worlds visible supply
of American, which last Friday showed
an excess of 274.000 bales when compared
with holdings of one year ago. There
fore, an account of the American move
ment to market during the past week be-
ing 10000 less than last year. this minus
correction of $1,000 bales will cut a big
hole in the worlds visible available sup
ply this evening If the weekly state
ment of spinners' takings be anything
like last years, 259,000 bales, in which
event the excessof last Friday would be
reduced to about 100000 bales and by
reason of another small weeks insight
next week the excess will probably dis
appear altogether by next Friday and
thereafter be converted into u deficit to
be gradually expanded on account of
the comparatively small receipts which
are to make their appearance during the
balance of the season.

terday's proceedings, was considered also
of Importance in deciding the extent of
the influence on general industrial condl-
tions to be apprehended from the coal
strike. Coupled with the depressing in
fiuence of the strike news was the early
rise in the call loan rate to jer cent,
and above also arousing fears that it
might go much higher before the close
of the day As the day progressed, how
ever, the call loan rate showed a tend
eney to recede and this was a notable
influence in helping toward the recovery.
Loans made today at the stock ex-
change carry over until Monday. With the
special demand today, and the fact that
preparations for the April l settlements
are likely to be completed by Monday
1t was argued that the high rate today
would probably represent the maximum
to be feared in connection with the set
Element. 1t is also true, however. that
under the stock exchange rule, payments
for stocks bought today need not be
made until Monday the days speculative

effect upon the surplus reserves thus
threatens to be severe The speculative
hope that the redisbursement of inter-
ests and dividend money next week would
bring prompt relief, was not dashed by
this rather formidable showing of the
banking outlook There was a further
recession in discount rates in London,
but foreign exchange here held steady.
The weeks exports of grain show a
falling off in wheat of 750.16O bushels, and
of 530,347 bushels of corn. compared with
the preceding week, thus indicating con-
siderable decrease in the supply of ex-
change on that account. With the call
money rate held within the per cent
limit, speculative sentiment failed to be
disturbed over the money outlook. The
upward movement became quite aggres-

stocks, and in a number of minor spe-
cialties. The closing was steady and gem

The cotton market ruled Irregular to-
day but a good undertone was evidenced
at all times. and futures finally closed
steady at a fairly good advance over
yesterday. Spots were quiet and un-
changed
Liverpool was slightly better than ex-
pected when our market opened, but not
withstandIng this fact. we started off at
decline of several points on the most
active positions. Bearlsh literature wired
from New York was circulated during the
early session when May contracts sold
as low as ll.O, in consequence of liquida-
ton by weak longs and some aggressive
short selling in New York, which was
relatively weaker than our market The
most important development of the day
was an official correction in the stock
at Bremen, Germany. A cable to the sec
rotary of our exchange said that the
decrease in American cotton for the week
was 10000 bales. and the increase in
other kinds only 1900, making the total
net decrease for the week 100000 Most
of this decrease was due, as ii was re-
ported to a recount showing the actual
stock on hand considerably less than
estimated That an error of this sort
could have been discovered In the Bre-
men stock is. we think presumptive evil,
dence of similar mistakes In the amounts
