LATE PRICES ARE BETTER

New York, February 15-Under bear
pressure cotton declined slightly today
with the close steady, unchanged to seven
points lower The opening was steady at
unchanged prices to a decline of two
points and prices showed net loss oil
about sac points right after the call
under overnight selling orders attributed
to disappointment over the ruling of yes
terday's market and the somewhat less
encouraging reports from Liverpool owing
TO the smaller spot sales
Foreign houses were buyers on the de-
cline, evidently against sales in the Liver
pool market, and there was some covering
by yesterdays sellers on which prices
rallied or points from the lowest short
ly after the opening but, as soon as ar
btrage business was withdrawn follow
ing the close of Liverpool, the market
was left without much support and prices
turned easier under continued liquda-
ton New Orleans selling and renewal
of local bear pressure.
There was no material change in the
character of the news but recent buyers
seemed disappointed that the bullsh av-
erage of trade reports had not brought
about an increased demand for futures,
and talk of freer southern offerings of
spot cotton above the 10 cent Level prob
ably added to their inclination to sell out
their holdings.
At any rate, May contracts eased off
to 147sc or points below the closing
figures of last night and while there
was some covering toward the close,
prices were within two points of the low
est on active positions. The new crop
was comparatively quiet and steady dur
ing the entire day, closing net unchanged
owing to continued reports of dry weather
from Texas and a consequently less ia
vorable view of the new crop prospects
Southern spots officially reported early
were unchanged to 1-16c lower Wires
from New Orleans reported that there
had been large spot sales in Texas yes
terday.
Receipts at the ports today 22,S76
against 1913 last week and 25,S27 last
year. For the week, $1,000 against S7,779
last week. and 142, 14O last year. Todays
receipts at New Orleans, 3041 bales against
1925 last year and at Houston $3.50 bales

Chicago. February 15.-Wheat had an

Many new claims of crop damage in
different sections of the wheat districts

furnished the incentive for an advance in

precedence over May. The close was

Hubbard Bros. a. Co.'S Letter

New York, February 15-(specal.)-
Gables this morning were lower as due
on the decline here yesterday and our
market opened a shade easier, selling off
on continued liquidation on a small scale
from western houses Business was on q
very small scale. the feature during the
late afternoon being selling which APP
peared to come from the continent and
this brought decline of approximately
20 points from yesterdays prices. In the
afternoon the market was quiet and steady
and few points higher than the low.
The local feeling is bearish on the ground
that the falling off in the spot demand
and the absence of any speculative buy
ing will lead to slowly sagging market
On the other hand it is well to remember
that the movement of the crop is small
and that the temperance of the foreign
demand which was such feature last
week will probably lead to another re-
covery to a price at which the south
will again offer freely.
