This condition goes to confirm the
belief that the holding of old grain
and cotton, the extensive purchase Of
farm lands and the large outlay in
irrigation projects have tied up an
enormous volume OF credits the coun-
try over. Speculative liquidation in
grain and cotton are welcomed for
that reason, as we'll as for the price
readjustment and renewal of export
demand which are hoped from 1t. Some
of stocks has been forced

tons in cotton. The action by the

the cotton market pool has been an
influence in that and other commodity
markets, as we'll as the crop prospects.

the week bear sentiment has dom!-
mated the situation. and it was clear
to conservative and shrewd observers
that there had been entirely too much
unanimity on that side, and hence it
was the general impression that the
market was in an oversold condition.
Therefore 1t was supposed that rally
was bound to take place when shorts
endeavored to cover. 1t was mag
lined that small scalpers and room
traders. who have been conspicuous on
the bear side for a long time. would
become nervous and anxious to cover
towards the weeks close, and especially
ii there appeared to be any noteworthy
incentive.
All that was needed to start them
off was an impulse, which was found
chiefly in the reports from the West
that the crop outlook was by no means
bright, the late deterioration being
mainly attributed to the ravages Of
insect life, especially chinch bugs.
Then. too, trustworthy authorities fear
that the crop in Kansas is making
poor progress.
Cable advices have been ignored by
all traders, foreign news
being colorless. There was temporary
irmness in Liverpool, owing partly to
the smaller exports from Argentina,
but this was nullifed in part by fairly
large exports from Russia, India and
Australia.
The Week In Corn.
The corn market was largely DOM
mated by bearish sentiment. which
was encouraged by the depression in
wheat and by predictions of pros
pectiVe larger movement from the
West. This latter, however. was pure
" theoretical, being based chiefly upon
the belief that farmers would prob
ably become more anxious to part with
their reserves because of the excellent
progress made with Planting, w,sici,
will, II Is claimed, result in a still big
ger area.
According to some Western at1vices
farmers are planting corn or oats in
abandoned wheat fields.
Trading in spot corn has been re-
markably dull. and great unsettlemen;
has prevailed making it almost impos
Sibe to cbtain trustworthy quotations
The unsatisfactory conditions prevail

New York. April 24.-The action of

bull pool in cotton, produced decline
of only Ia to as cents per pound, and
even that was recovered before the
close of business on Thursday. Tho
failure of the southern spot markets
to break and the anxiety of many of

Prices for spot cotton and futures
on the local market have been below
parity with the Liverpool and South

months. If there had been any profit

New York, April 2i.-Weakness was

in May was largely attributed to the

cism.
Naturally, therefore. there is a wide
difference of opinion as to the prob
able production estimates varying
from 100000 10 2o,oOo,ooo bushels.
but most conservative authorities
agree that the yield Will be less than
100000 bushels. and possibly clos
to 100000. against S5,ooo,ooo bushels
harvested last year. This material
loss has helped to check the downward
tendency.
Selling in domestic as we'll as for
eign markets was also stimulated part
~ by the heavy worlds shipments, in
Guiding a decidedly big contribution
from Russia, but despite this there
was an unexpected decrease in the
quantity on passage, indicating large
withdrawals for consumption in Euro

tor was the increase in the world IS
