Weekly Cotton Market

New York, March 20.--The cotton mar
ket has shown no important change dur
ing the past week, and trading has been
quiet enough to suggest either a. disposi-
ton to await g. nearer view of the new
crop or the restricting influence of the
Easter holidays. The severe storms OF
last week were followed by three or four
days of dry weather in the belt, but condi-
tions became unsettled again before the
end of the week, threatening further de-
Law in farm work and also inspiring some
few complaints of washed out fertilizers.
Generally speaking, however, the season
is not yet far enough advanced to mod
ify expectations as to the start of the
new crop, upon which so much Is sup
posed to depend in demonstrating the fu-
ture course of the market. Meanwhile,
neither the census report on supply and
distribution, which was published on Mon
day. nor the final ginning report of the
season, issued at the opening this morn
ing. seems to have altered prevailing sem
timent as to the merits of the old crop
situation.
The supply and distribution figures
showed continuance of record breaking
activity during February, and indicated
a domestic mill consumption of 2,SG2, 600
bales for the first six months of the sea-
son, thus suggesting a total consumption
for this season of about 5,734OO0 bales.
comparing with 5,367.000 last season. Mill
stocks as Of March l. on the other hand
were reported of 1856. 900 bales, against L.
SAP 900 last year. and the showing as a
whole seemed to be without immediate in
fuence from bearish or bullish stand
point. The ginning figures were some-
what similarly received.
Indicating a total growth of the sea-
son, including linters. of 100000 bales,
they were about just in line with expecta-
lions. and while some regarded them
bearishly on the ground that they indi-
Gated nearly as much cotton remaining in
the south as at this time last year when
the crop was 100000 bales larger; others

LITTLE TRADING a
IN NEW ORLEANS
Chief Feature of Day, How.
ever, Is Ginners' Report.
Close Steady

New Orleans. March 20.-The week IN
the cotton market ended with today's
session because of the usual Easter
holidays. It was a typical holiday mar
ket on the exchange. little trading be-
ing done and price changes were in
significant.
The chief feature of the day was the
publication of the final report on gin
ming of the old crop by the census bu-
reau. The figures were 14,076.000 bales
including lInters. and were so close to
the average expectation that neither
bulls nor bears found much of any
thing in them to discount.
The opening was steady at a declins
of 1 to 3 points in the face of good
cables and poor weather map. A mod
crate amount of short selling was in
evidence from bears who were able to
figure out a commercial crop of Ia
100000 bales from the census ginning
returns. The market had a steady
tone but displayed little buying power.
The rains on the weather map and the
promise of more in the forecast held
selling down.
Considerably bearish comment was
aroused by the figures on weights of
cotton bales furnished by the census
bureau, the average gross were for this
last session. being put at 5o7.s pounds
against 5044 for the preceding season.
At the lowest of the day prices we're
5 to points down. The close was
steady at the lowest of the day.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 20.-(Special) )-on
the ginners' report the Wall street
brokers were again sellers in a small
market with resulting decline for the
day of points.
So long as Liverpool was open, ar
bitrage brokers and the larger spot
houses were buyers, who absorbed the
sales.
The interesting part of the ginners'
report was the remarkably amount of
linters, leaving the amount of deliv-
erable cotton less than 13,500,000 bales.
This would seem to indicate a squeeze
in Liverpool before the end of the
season. The increase in linters is due to
more careful delinting by the cotton
seed oil mills
There is no change in the pessi-
mistic feeling, though the large short
interest in March Is slowly transferring
at a severe loss to more distant deliv-
cries. Low grade cotton was sold to-
day from one state for shipment to
Italy.

trade demand in Liverpool after Easter

HEROINE is SAID
TOBE A THIEF

New York, March 20.-May Benline, II
years old, acclaimed as a heroine after
carrying two children from a burning
house on March 10, is under arrest to-
day on suspicion that she took valuables
that were in a closet untouched by the
flames. The girl was nurse in the
employ of George II. Murray. broker,
residing in Queens. The Murray chill
dren were apparently rescued by the girl
during the absence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Murray. The grateful parents told the
girl her salary would be increased as
soon as the family was established in a
new home. Investigation to learn the
origin of the fire disclosed that 5000 worth
of jewelry was missing.
