The contrast afforded suggestion OF one

of these bankers is that the holding
OF grain and cotton out of the market
for the purpose of maintaining the
price involves the tying up OF large
banking credits which figure in the
loan accounts of the country's banks.
The high prices of commodities are

New York, My a2.-Trading in the
cotton market the past week was
chiefly noteworthy for the contin-
nance OF the heavy inside proft-taking
movement and reselling by spot houses
and local and Southern operators.

These low prices were sufficiently
attractive to start renewed heavy buy

dealers. as we'll as the bull clique, who
had succeeded in unloading so much

sequence of the continuance of this

Heavy Stocks Here.
Although over 10000 bales of spot
cotton have been shipped out from this
port to European spinners and South

past three weeks by the bull clique's
agents, a little over that amount OF
cotton has been brought here and de-

New Orleans, La. May 22.-This

things-the weather the, struggle be-

months, and the coming reports by
government bureaus on condition and

The weather will be held as the fac
tor OF first Importance. because OF the
fact that the popular interest is in the
old and not in the new crop months.
Manipulation has been so excessive In
the old crop deliveries that the outside
public and considerable proportion
Of the professional element have been
driven from then. What the trade
will endeavor to learn is whether the
rains of last week have led to condi-
lions which result in foul crops. Each
day the weather forecast will be anhi-
ously awaited, as continued rains Will
put the fields in grass and weeds. and
such condition Will inevitably lead
to higher prices. The time is fast ap-

mills have now conceded the impracti-
cability of selling any further at the
extreme low prices and shutting down
parts of their plants. This curtail-
ment policy will be increased during
the coming month unless 1t appears
that buyers are willing to place more
liberal orders on basis that will not
mean great losses fer producers.

completely eliminated by the season.

the past week, there is nothing left
now but the assmnrtion that the aver

last years. Even this point is now
much disputed The heavy rainfall of

there is no ground for further COM
