NEW YORK CoTToN MARKET
Light to Heavy Rains Over the Cotton
Belt Render the Market Uncertain

NEW YORK, March l3.-Hutton's wire says
Cotton unchanged TO l point better. The vol
ume or trade was not large. but the amount of
looking around showed more curiosity than for
some days. Those who had been waiting for
rains in Texas found reports of light rains of
yesterday on the map and added reports of
ram this morning. but they did not find the
break in the market which they thought such
rain should bring. This weather was counter
balanced by excessive rains east of the Missis-
sippi river. some of the small streams in Ala
bama being reported at food stage. The week
end figures which show the movement to have
permanently declined under the 100000 per
week level also disclosed the fact thai the
visible is shrinking at the rate of 100 600 bales
per week and Will probably continue 10 shrink
at more rapid rate than during each of the
two previous crops. The spinners takings dur
ing the week proved TO be 2S9, 600, against 260
600 last year and 31S.000 the year before. Eu-
rope has taken about 100, COO bales less than TO
the same date last year. Although cotton has
been very inactive lately and seemingly friend
less, the market has enough strength TO warrant
the belief that when the spot demand springs up
we may look for very much higher prices ire
spectlVe of next years crop conditions. and
even in that the features thus far have been ex-
tremely bullsh.
The visible supply statement was possibly a
shade bullish but attracted attention. Further
light rains were reported in Texas and the
drought there is gradually being reduced Bulls
probably viii begin 10 complain about excessive
rains in the eastern belt southern Alabama
appears to be getting more than its share of
moisture

Future Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO. March ia deadlock prevailed
in the wheat market today and prices moved
a narrow range. Foreign markets did not
follow the cents advance here the previous
day and there of importance to
inspire either buying selling. One of the
leading longs and followers sold moderately
throughout the day. May sold between $1.l6ss
and $i.17L and July between S1.041S al 81 .o5
and s1.O5la The close was steady with NAV

A slack shipping demand for the cash grain
and predictions Of increased receipts from the
interior next week had depressing effect on
the corn market, sentiment in the pit being
bearish all day The market closed with net
losses of &c to ssGHc, May being at 6sssc
and July 67%c.
Oats moved within extremely narrow bounds

Hay and FeedstuRx

No further important changes in hay or feed
tons of hay included 4S cars The circular Of
Scott Magner says:
arriyals during the last week have amounted
70 5.l9l tons. This is practically the same
amount as received last week Notwithstanding
the heavy arrivals, the market has continued
nrnl the demand active and prices have ad-
vanced trfhe over those of last week.
Business locally in San Francisco is excel
lent and picking up. The demand for hay is
good, and arrivals taken care of Just as
fast as they come in. The interior demsnd is
not quite as strong as it has been. owing to
TO the increase in the pasturage the good
weather has improved the green feed. Some
export trade has developed, and quite a little
shipping has been done. Dealers from Los
part OF the state and estimate that they will
require about 5000 tons to carry them down
there until the new hay arrives.
"A careful canvass of the Sirua tion to
Indicate that the market will not reach any
higher point, and that there is sufficient de-
mand on hand to carry us through until the
new crop begins to come in. All grades OF
hay sell apparently equally well. with the ex-
ception of the poorer grades Of alfalfa and stock
and there has been quite a quantity of the
very poorest of all grades of hay shipped in
most anything would sell. Much of this stock
hay Is IS worth only Sll or SO per ton;
is apparent weakness in the alfalfa market
and feeling that the demand will drop of
now very suddenly. as the users are able to
take the green grass instead"
