In the early part Of the week the
weather was unfavorabe and prices were
well maintained at the highest levels or
the season: later. weather conditions took
{. turn for the better and the market be-
gan to sag. Toward the close of the week
there was rally on the belief that the
crop had received more serious setback
than had at first been thought, and that
the late planting in Mississippi Arkansas
and Alabama would allow more damage
than ever from the boil weevil.
Reports from the belt were conflicting.
From many sections came letters and
kilograms stating that a few days of
warm weather would allow the damage
done to the crop to be repaired, but from
others the accounts were less favorable,
and said that under the most favorable
circumstances the crop would get a very
late start
Private cable messages from English
traders were the main bullish feature of
the week
Coupled with an increased spot demand
these messages stimulated buying in the
old crop positions.

Ability to Control.

On this occasion. as on several similar
ones that have gone into history during
the last year. the real market leaders
have shown generalship and financial abil-
ity to control. Their program this time
shows no change from those successfully
put through before namely, to show the
opposition no mercy. but to go through
period of successive daily advances,
giving the short sellers no chance to buy
on breaks They do not allow any
breaks of consequence and if the bears
do not get in out Of the wet one day
they find that they have to pay more
for their stocks the day following and so
the game runs until the short sellers have
either all settled so fortified them
selves as to be impregnable. Then the
reaction begins and the play is staged
for another act.
There is in this market what is called
an abiding short interest"-that is. a
very strong bearish crowd that will not be

the power of the great banking Syndi-
Gates which went to the rescue of the
situation about two weeks ago, when
decentralization threatened. The big in
terests kept their hands off during six

wholesale liquidation by the public.

the prevailing industrial and commercial
depression, and 1t seemed almost as
though the tide could not be stopped.
The big people came to the rescue and
completely changed the complexion of
things. The bear contingent, however.
stubbornly insists that the mere markins
up of prices does not signify that taeir
position is wrong. They contend that
the fundamentals do not warrant any
such recovery as has been witnessed.

wholly artificial.
