Statistics of tho movement to-mor-

rather smaller mill takinrs than ex-
pectod. Bears claimed that tho small
takings were due to q more general
curtaiimcnt of output among the
mills and that this curtailment would
soon become greater. For this rea-
son statistics will be of more than
ordinary Importance, unless they are
lost in the closing OF the market to-
ward the Weekend. Spectators who
leave sentiment aside warned the
bulls on tho weekend figures that the
outlook statistically for the coming
week was against the long side for
the staple reason that business will
be more or less suspended among
English mills as a result of the holt
days. Naturally, holidays among the
mills will decrease their takings.
Something new may come up this
week in the governments investiga-I

for this week has continued light. but
no more SO than expected on the tall

The New Crop situntion.
AS far as the new crop situation
and outlook are concerned. there is
still much complaint heard. especially
among the BULLS and Southern dealers
and planters. regarding the unseason.
ably cold weather and the necessity ot
having had to replant so much from
the heavy frost of two weeks age
through the Northern half of the belt
and also the lack of moro moisture.
A careful investigation OF tho wealth
er and crop conditions running through
the months of April and Nav in 1908
will show this season. so far, has been
much better than that period from
which the foundations were laid for
the greatest crop the South produced.
The season then was unusually late.
and cold and dry weather was COM
planned of in Texas and other States
up to the first week in May. with an
enormous amount of replanting made
