COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March 19-The cotton
market failed to respond to better
cables than expected at the opening
today, and later weakened under realiz-

Gall points. The market opened steady
at AN advance of points to a decline

this sort caused considerable scattering
liquidation, and while bear pressure was
held in check by the continued reports of
a good trade demand in Manchester, the
bulIish national ginners' figures and ap-
prehensions that bun support would be

slight rally during the middle of the
morning on covering, but the improve
ment was lost and prices sold at the low
est point of the day In the late trading
on rumors of rains in the southwest.
The weather map showed no precipita-
ton in Texas and the official weather
forecast called for partly cloudy rather
than wet weather in Texas and Oklahoma
tonight and tomorrow. Still private re-

possibility that this might be reflected in

ton easy, unchanged; middling, Il 1915.
Sales on the spot, 735 bales; to arrive,

Cotton futures opened steady at a de-
cline of 1 point on the old crop months,
and unchanged to l up on the new.
Cables were better than expected.
The weather map was dry in the west
and the outlook appeared to be for more
dry weather over Sunday.
Around the middle of the morning bears
applied considerable pressure to the mar
ket. Toward noon some little selling
came from longs, who did not carry their
cotton over the census report on ginning.
day morning. Shorts themselves. how
ever. turned buyers and checked the de-
cline The market closed steady at a net
decline Of to points on the old crops
and to 2 points on October.
The results of the week in the cotton
market are an advance of to 3 points on
the old crop months and an advance OF
"a to q points on the new. This work.
ing apart of the new and the old crops
was due to the shifting of considerab bile
tant months and to increasing uncertain
ty over the outcome of the May and July
deals, as well as to the continued
drought in the western portions of the
cotton belt.
So far as could be learned, the leading
tracts. Saturday Patten was charged
with unloading 10000 bales Of May in
the New York market. This rumor was
quickly denied, but it affected prices to
some extent
The weather Of the week hardly favored
either side.
The chief supports Of the market were
the accounts of the immense business
being done in Manchester with China and
India. Private cablegrams said that many
mills we're running full time, that prices
being realized for cloths allowed a good
margin Of profit and that the demand for
raw material was in excess of the supply.
The chief bearish arguments used were
that the weather and soil conditions In
the central and eastern sections Of the
belt were ideal and that what would be
lost in the western belt would be re-
gained elsewhere. On the weekend sta

The Financier will say:


The statement of the weekly ayera ees
issued by the New York clearing house
banks. and the statement of actual con-
dttions of the banks, as made at the
close of the week ending March 49,
showed very wide and almost irrecon-
cilable differences. The statement of
averages is simply what it's name indi-
Gates, that is, the average business and
changes of the week while the state
ment Of actual conditions is based on
the figures submitted by the different
banks to the clearing house as of Sat
urday. In the statement of averages
the changes were unimportant, the re-
suit indicating an increase Of $557,325
in surplus reserve, that item stahding
at $9,449s425. The actual condition
statement. however, disclosed a de-
crease of S20.591.50O in loans an in
crease of $1,000 900 in cash, and a de-
crease of $20,811. 400 in deposits The
gain in cash and the lessened reserve
requirments on deposits accounted for
an increase of $7,223,45O in surplus re-
949.65O, or about double what was re-
ported in the previous week. The sud
den decrease in loans is to be attribut-
cd to special finance and bond opera
lions Of the week. and, the greater part
OF the decrease Is to be traced to the
operations of two or three of the largest
banks. The loans were not shifted to
the trust companies, and outside state
banks. for these institutions reported
1856, 100 in loan commitments. The
heavy bond offerings for next week and
their accompanying International COM
plications probably .foreshadow an in
tefesting statement for the last week
In March.

Outlook Not Gloomy.

Careful analysis of existing facts as to
the various branches OF commerce, trade
and finance do not confirm this despond-
ent view Of things. Quite the contrary.
Railroads continue to report very heavy
earnings, both net and gross. the indus
trials are loading down their books with
new orders for products of every de-
scriptiOn. labor disturbances seem to be
working to a fairly satisfactory finish and
the increasing demands for capital with
which to do an enlarged and still enlarg-
ing volume of business betokens healthy
growth and renewed courage for its fu-
ture on the part of men of enterprise.
This Is reflected in a hardening time rate
for money east and west, a development
entirely free from panic symptoms or
mental disturbance of any sort in quar-
tiers where that phenomenon might carry
weight.
The annual report of the United States
Steel Corporation, which was given to the
public this week, might have produced a
sensationally bullish effect under some
market conditions, but on this occasion
1t fell fiat. The general facts con-
tanned In the report have been known
for several weeks, but the detailed
statement contained a mass of facts and
figures that make a profoundly interest
ing study of a very important factor in
our national industrial evolution. The
great steel trust is by long odds the most
powerful manufacturing concern in the
world, and as such everybody should be
interested in its affairs, II for no other
reason than a study. ,.#

The corporation last year spent $751;

600 was what the corporation started with
and 1t is a nice round amount to roll
under the tongue.
A noteworthy feature of the report Is
the admission that the corporation has q
working capital of $230,GtOOOO, a loose
surplus of S151, 100000 and <5S, 10000
cash on hand. This statement reveals the
steel trust as one of the most powerful
banking institutions in America Its re-
sources from a banking viewpoint are
larger even than those of the National
City Bank, with its 10000, COO surplus and
capital. and ranking on at least even
terms with the tSandard Oil trust, with
actual available cash capital and quick
assets that have attained fabulous figures.
Nobody knows the capital that j. p Nor.

probably larger than either the steel or oil

ings ($646, ,O0O the steel trust realized
$3.50 per ton on it's finished product OF

that about $40 per ton is fair average

business of the corporation was about

Concealing Net Profit.
According to the official report of totals

shows a ratio of little over 20 per cent
on the aggregate volume, whereas the
real figure should be about $3.50 per cent
Of profit The larger volume and the
smaller percentage of profit thereon looks
better and makes a better defense in any
tariff controversy which might arise In
which the trust might be accused of reap
ing too hoggish protection" Rut that
may be purely academic and prejudiced
view to take of the case. 1t would prob
ably be so voted by shareholders and Wall
street. In these quarters there is small
care whether the steel trust makes it's big
dividends and adds to it's huge surplus ION

NEW YORK. March 10. 1910.
The stock market suffered to some ex-
tent the last week or ten days from a
Jacob H. Schin Crouch" Mr.. Schiff, 1t
will be remembered. handed out an in
terview awhile ago forecasting ultimate
war between the yellow and brown races
of the orient and the United States. He
as led to this conclusion by discovery
that Russia, the unrelenting hater Of the
Jewish race, had formed q trade alliance
with Japan.
Having lent a very influential hand in
financing the Japanese war against Rus
STA, and then having been denied partici-
patton in Chinese development loans, he
was naturally hurt and his grief took the
form of a deadly fear least this country
become involved in a war with the far
east. Feeling this way. is was only nat
ural that the great banking house Of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of which Mr.
Schif is the directing member, and the
give expression to distrust of existing
conditions and fear of the future by SELL
ing American securities. This was done
on very large scale and the market
has had to struggle with big load Of
stocks it had not been looking for.
Left to Little Fellows.
Being in no mood to help make a
market for the extensive Kuhn-Loeb dis
tribution. the really important interests in
Wall street withdrew support and stood
aside until the furry subsidized. They gave
the market over to little people and the
professional element. The result has
been general reaction in prices and a
revival of the general distrust which was
felt on the January and early February
slump. Backers and operators went
around wild-eyed wondering what the
matter was and letting their imaginations
run riot as to hidden causes for the
weakness.
Visible material developments were
given the very worst possible construc-
ton and the beady minds Of the shoe
stringers and fraction chasers were
much perturbed over Ito them becloud-
ed situation. Argument over the Stand
ard Oil case before the Supreme Court,
Official opinion on the corporation tax

ing railroad bill and other Washington
news were debated In a scarey way In
Wall street, and the little people who
had the market were agitated and dis
tressed lest the country go to the i'm
mediate and unprotected bow-wows.
