Ware g. LeIsnd's Cotton Letter.

The week has been rather an uneventfui
one. Following the extensive liquidation
preparatory to March notice day there
has been a decidedly better feeling in all
directions and the active demand for spot
cotton on the recent decline together with
the removal of pressure confirm the flu
ture market, have combined to leave a
much steadier position and as result
prices have improved 40 points or more
ana the market has become more a two
sided affair. 1t looks very much now as
though around II cents for July bullish
factors were pretty well discounted but
as yet spnners have not bought the guam
tity Of cotton necessary to cause their
Withdrawal from the market and as long
as the buying continues weakness in the
fixture market is hardly to be expected
We may have further advance as
some Of the shorts cover but 1t Is an
open question whether general speculation
can be induced at this season of the year
with cotton selling at II cents for the
July option. It must not be forgotten
that at this time last year prices were
~ and ~ cents and 1t was not until
long in May that the market ran over
cents pound.

EASIER TONE IN

Eased off In Early Afternoon and
Acted Rather Nervous and I'm

Trading.
SALES ONLY 100000 BALES

New York, March 9.-The cotton mar
ket was very quiet during today's session
and generally easier, the close being at
net decline of to 10 points while
sales were estimated at only 100000 bales.
The opening was steady at a decline OF
/ TO points in response to lower cables
and reports of favorable weather from
the south The English spot sales were
fun, however, and with private advices
from the south claiming a continued de-
mand from spinners there seemed to be
no aggressive pressure against the mar
lSet. which rallied to net advance of
/ to points soon after the opening. But
the absence of general buying seemed TO
encourage the local bears who were also
Influenced by predictions OF a falling off
in the early afternoon under increased
offerings and acted rather nervous and
unsettled in the late trading. The close
was barely steady in tone and at the low
est level of the session.
Receipts at the ports today 1866 bales
against 2O,25S last week and 2S,622 last
year. For the week (estimated), los, 900
bales against 1O4,06l last week and 1863, 664
last year. Today's receipts at New Or
leans 27S3 bales against 56s3 last year
and at Houston 4165 bales against 5i20 last
year

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-03-10


One time during the session of the for
eign market it looked as though options
would show a higher range than the two
points advance over yesterday on the
close but cables were less favorable in
tone and seemed to denote chat spinners
were temporarily supplied, sales today be
ing only 1900 bales in contrast With the
large transactions done daily through
out the past week.
The New Orleans market was quieter
than on the previous day. The early
trading i'm futures We're a few points OIL
on the reported decreasing demand for
spot cotton, while the continued absence
OF any outside interest in the market and
the bearishly inclined element at the ring
side likewise exerted Rnfavorable impress
sions.
The spot demand seemed to increase as
the day wore on, but either the spot pee
pie are short of the actual stuff, or they
stil persist in refusing TO meet any de
cline recorded in futures, for certainly
according to the best information the Of
ferings are daily becoming more unat-
tractive.
With the clearing of Moroccan dispute,
which seems likely to soon come to u
peaceable consummation. one obiectiona-
BILE feature at least, so far as the trade
is concerned will have been done away
with and the government report On INC
goth inst. of the total amount of cotton
ginned for the season, silencing once and
for all time any contentious that may
still exist as to the actual size of the
crop, the trade will then find itself face
to face with conditions as they actually
are. and should the weather be Of such
character as to exert no undue amount
of bearish influence, we see nothing In
affairs as they will then be to further
decrease prices, and in reality are rather
expectant of reasonable advance.
