New York Cotton Market

New York Cotton Market
NEW YORK. Feb 24.-Hutton's wire says:
The financial storm in Wall street dampened the
ardor of the cotton market this morning despite
the absence OF any storm the dry belt In
the western half of the cotton belt. where rain
IS needed 1t is natural that Wall street, largely
involved in the security market, should neglect
anu abandon cotton under conditions that are
now existing. 1t is evident, however, that the
selling pressure of yesterday and the early part
of todays session practically eliminated the
Wall street interest IN cotton and further pres
sure from that quarter need not be feared. Eu-
rope really Understands and handles cotton bet
ter than she does our stocks and ponds. Cotton
is q much more necessary article to her exist
ence and 1t matters not how terrifying the situa-
tion in the financial district in New York might
become. the European markets stand always
ready to accept cotton in exchange for gold.
1t is q smatter of peculiar significance in every
panic in history that cotton has been the one
commodity which showed advance. The first
shock cotton receives IS always the worst shock.
With cotton cheap il is no hesitation
should be felt in buying it. as no big decline
from this level can be expected.
Spot cotton closed quiet. Mddling uplands,

THE COPPER STOCKS

BOSTON. Feb. 24.-Huttons wire says: The
market opened soft this morning. with heavy
liquidation. due 10 forced selling Stocks at the
low level. however looked attractive and the
buying was good all through the list. East Butte
was the star performer On any further rally
tomorrow brokers advise taking profits and
Tightening accounts, shall probably have
another drive before the situation adjusts itself.
Copper statistics are not half bad While
the unsold and available stock in this country
increased something like 20 600 900 pounds in
January the Eastern visible supply decreased
by something over 100000 pounds On tie
whole, it IS rather remarkable that so large
a percentage OF the January output handled in
this country disposed of in that month. The
January figures indicate. in fact. that the copper
industry is employed 10 a much greater extent
than is the iron and steel industry. We con-
slider that the January figures Of the Produces
association are very builish in their import OF
what may expect. If we ever get any gen
eral revival in manufacturing industries.
The strength of the local copper share mar
ket has practically no relation TO the market
for the metal. It is a speculation based upon
mine developments and may reasonably continue
to be moderately active almost regardless Of
any change in the price Of copper.
