New Orleans. La, March 20.-The
result of the trading in the future
market last week served to int:cate
that the new crop will come into equal
prominence with tho old. This is a
development that a few bulls have pre-
dicted for some time. but which the
trade in general has refused to accept.
The contention of these few bulls is
that never before In what is called
B'.modern. cotton trading did the en-
tire world so hang on what the new
crop would bring forth. Even the
bears admit that this coming season
the world probably will require the
largest amount OF raw cotton in its
entire history. The bulls claim the
world needs such an enormous supply
of cotton because stocks of both cot
ton and cotton goods have sunk to a
level everywhere for one reason or
another. In such situation. anything
that promises to reduce the yield OF
,hegnew crop becomes a market factor
of the utmost importance. The bulls
claim that the bumper crop needed

prices ntctuattng In a spasmodic way.
Net changes were. however, rather III
consequential. The fact was, there
were SO many conflicting Influences
that the variations were confined to a
narrow compass. Traders were decid-
eddy cautious, and Hence not inclined
10 take a permanent stand on either
side, their dealings being mainly Of n
small scalping character for quick
turns. Temporarily, al the outset. the
tendency was slightly upward, but af.
forwards all OF the Improvement was
lost. The initial strength was caused
largely by nervousness among sellers
for the decline, and notably in the
instance OF May contracts in the local
market, which sellers were particularly
anxious to cover. owing to the insiE-
nificane contract stock here, and there
fore the May premium advanced In a
striking way. going to S cents, against
7SG7a cents last week, while the
price difference between May In New
York and Chicago wtdened to 10 cents,
against s& cents on Saturday.
Advancing Tendency.
The general rising trend was partly
3traceable to encouraging cable advices.

partly by stronger tend ency in Bue-

ports Of unfavorablc weather in Rus

where the plant was badly in need of
rain, and especially in parts of Kansas,
where there had been little or no pre-
cipitation for about forty days. Tho
subsequent recession was partly
ascribed to the more favorable official
report from, Argentina, which estimated
the exportable surplus at s0.ooo,0o0'
bushels. against recent private esti-
mates of 65,ooo.ooo to i5,ooo.ooo
The Increased pressure to sell. and

facts, was largely prompted by re-

Should the present Indications ofsrain

market Mt this time There has been
such a marked deficiency in tile rain-

1t has very strongly impressed the

last year was due primarily to The
insufficiency OF good winter rains.
This deficiency from the normal In

Therefore the whole Western half OF
the belt, especially Texas has had
need Of greater rains than the normal
this winter and spring to furnish a
good enough supply of subsoil rnols-
ture to carry the crop through a pos
siblc repetition of last summers
drought. So far the rainfall has been
entirely inadequate. and with planting

tricts Of Texas. there Is reason for
apprehension. What that State now
needs in all sections. particularly the
Western half and Northern portion, Is

days. to the depth of as many inches.
While such rains would delay planting

Small Contract Stocks Here.
The total stock Of contract cotton
here has decreased nearly $1,000 bales
during the past week, owing to the
continued heavy shipments OF the bull
pools cotton to Liverpool and Bremen
and some deliveries to New England
spinners. Tho total is now down to
about 101 900 bales. against 1 q, 500 last
Saturday and $4,000 on March l.. Cot

prices from the South or Liverpool and

siderable loss.
