STRENGTH rs. SHOWN
BY COTTON MARKET
Prices Keep Up. Well Despite Belief That Govern,
1nent Report Would axe Very
Bearish Showing.
5Bearish Showing.

New York. June 4.-The principa
feature of the cotton market the pas,
week was the strength It showed on
moderate transactions. despite the
general belief that the government
crop report announced at noon yester-
dny would make a very bearish show
fng on both the acreage and condition
for the new crop season From last
Saturdays closing quotations. there
was a gradual advance OF between
30 and % points on the new as we'll
as the old crop deliveries up TO Thurs
day. with July going up to 1850. Au-
gust. 1922: September, 1871; October.
1925; December 1919, and January,
1917.
Although the trades expectations re-
garding the favorable character Of
the government report were fully con
tirmed on the publication of its hs-
ures yesterday, the market suffered
only q slight setback and closed firm
last night with net advance for the
week. ranging from TO Is points,
under the lead of October, December
and January deliveries for the new
crop. Contrary TO the belief of the
advocates of lower prices, very little
selling pressure developed after the
publication of the governments report
yesterday.
Why Prices Arc Sustained.
The principal reason for the strength
Of the market is the small amount OF
actual cotton left unsold or unnedged
ir the South from last seasons crop.
This has a stimulating effect in main
talning prices for spot cotton on the
Southern markets to such an extent. that
Still very little cotton is as yet point
ing this way to replenlsh the depleted
ar -.
grade. now at this port. This keeps
UP the price OF the old crop options
here. and the bid discount of sl0 per
bale at which the new crop deliveries
are selling as contrasted with the old
crop months. makes II apparently a
hazardou: speculation to sell the new
crop options short; even in the face
of such a favorable government re-
port on the start of the new crop
Moreover, 1t is we'll known In the
cotton trade that an enormous short
interest has been outstanding for some
time in all of the new-crop months.
1t is also recognized tina; big crop
of say, between 1850, 600 and 600
600 bales will be needed this season 10
make up for The shortage OF the 49,
100000 bale crop of the past season
following the crop failure OF but To-
100000 bal,s the previous year
Another sustaining factor which
might be mentioned is the very strong
statistical position of the staple. Then
also this fact that trade conditions
throughout Europe and on the Cont
nent have been so much better than
on this side that the foreign spinners
have continued willing buyers. not
wlthstandlN the high prices. They
have thus far taken such q large per-
centage of the crop TO date that there
is now great; scarcity OF even running
grades OF white cotton on the basis Of
m.ddling being offered In the south
for domestic spinaers.

as we'll as collectively by States show:
the crop has started the season Wit
the best condition with but three 'oi
four exceptions. in the last twenty
/ years. It's condition is officially placed
as high as SIS per cent. against s:
last year and 81 the previous year
This contrasts with 10 12, the aver
age condition TO May 20 for the last
\ five years and So.9. the average &c
| May e5 for the last ten years. The
| highest condition in twenty years NJ
the opening of any season was 50 III
| 1902. and the next highest was SO In
! 1895.
| But high condition at the beginning
| of the season Is by no means assurance
in itself of a big crop. as everything
depends upon the character of the
growing weather. especially during the
months of June. July and August For
| instance. even In the year of 1902. when
! the crop started out with such high
| condition as 90. subsequent weather
conditions were so unfavorable that the
| condition Of the crop dropped down to
only IS by September %. and the total
yield turned out only 100000 bales.
despite the fact that the acreage then
was the second largest in the history
of the South 70 that time Therefore
1t has been the experience of the trade
tha5 the ultimate yield depends more
season than record breaking acreage.
More of a Weather Market.
This naturally makes II more of a
weather market than any thing else.
and. and after the governments figures
on the start OF the crop have been d.
gested by the trade. interest Will shift
to the daily weather reports from the
cotton belt, and continue centred more
on the weather maps from now on than
the present statistics. Should the
weather conditions continue good on
the average during the next three
months, which will have to be passed
befort the plants reach the stage Of
full growth. the indication at present
