COTTON MARKET SITUATION
PROBABLY UNSETTLED FIRST
PART OF WEEK BECAUSE
OF GOVERNMENT RE.
PORT
First Cotton Condition Report Comes
Today-IiOliday on Tuesday will
Prevent Rush of Trade at Outset Or
Week.

New Orleans, June 1.-The local
cotton market will probably start
condition report by the government
tomorrow and a holiday Tuesday. To
all appearances the market is fairly
well evened up in preparation for the
condition figures and, because Of the
adjournment Tuesday, it is likely tina,
no great amount of fresh trading will
be attempted on the opening session
The condition report will be issued al
ii O'Clock tomorrow morning and will
take the crop down to May 25. This
is the first condition report of the sea
son and is not regarded as of any
great importance because it is gen.
orally considered that May 25 is alto
gether too early date on which to
draw conclusions of any value. AT
the same time, it has caused rather
more speculative comment than usual
this year and any departures from
expectations will probably cause
price fluctuations one way or the
other.
AS opinion stood at the end OF the
week the trade was looking for fig
ures around S2 to 83 per cent of the
normal Some bears put out esti-
mates as high as 85 and some bulls
did ~ believe that the ten-year aver
age of 1873 would be exceeded. Few
traders, even those who entertained
extremely bullish views Of the crop,
expected as low a report as that made
last year when the percentage was
put at 1873. On the other hand, only
q comparatively few bears expected
the figures to equal the conditions OF
two years ago when it was S7.8. 1t is
likely that report under so would
cause an advance while figures over
the level would cause a decline. ..,
After the condition report and the
holiday the trade will probably go TO
studying the question Of acreage more
deeply than ever The tendency Of
late has been to increase estimates in
this direction and to place the in
crease i'm the area planted up around
per cent. A short time ago the
average trader was inclined to put Il
around per cent. Opinions concern
ing acreage may grow more pro-
nounced this week and have some ef-
feet on prices.

House Democrats have been mark
ing time since they sent tariff over
to the senate and most of the MEM
bers are in their home States waiting
until there Is real business before the
body. For several weeks the house
has been perfunctorily meeting every
three days and that programme will
be continued until there is business
ready.
Not week passes that President
Wilson does not start something to
snake up the prCcedents and keep
congress astir. His denunciation OF
the tariff lobby in the week just pass
Ell marked the climax in series of
unusual executive acts and has pre-
cipitated an inquiry, the like of which
never has bee.. known i'm Legislative
annals OF the nation.
When the president told the ways
and means committee that he wanted
free raw wool and ultimate free sugar
in the tariff bin the committee wrote
the bill that way. When he declared
that he wished to deliver his tariff
house Ind senate met in joint session
to hear him. Later his decision to
go to the presidents room in the cap
itol to talk business with senator's and
congressman was carried out without
hindrance or friction. His vigorous
announcement the week ago, in the
midst of rumors of party weakening
on tariff measures, that he would ac-
cept no compromise on wool and SUI
gar, served To tighten the administra-
tive lines and now his declaration that
the country should be rid of the bur
den of an insidious tariff lobby has
aroused the senate to investigate.

COTTON MARKET
/ FAIRLY STEADY
Advances Not Fully Main,
tained During Past
Week

New York, May 16.-While advances
have not been fully maintained, the
cotton market has shown a fairly
steady tone during the past week with
considerable buying power noted on
breaks below the 11-cent level for new
crop months. The demand has been
attributed partly to European spinners
and there has also been good deal Of
covering by recent sellers who are sup
posed to have been influenced by fur
ther shipments from the local stock
and reports of low temperatures and
dry weather in the eastern belt. Scat
tering showers in drouthy sections
prompted reactions toward the end OF
the week but continued talk of de-
layed termination and a late start for
cause anxiety as to the showing of
the governments first crop report,
which is due on June 2 and prices held
well above the recent low level. Mean
while very few crop complaints are be-
ing received from either western or
central sections of the belt and pri-
vate advices from the Atlantics have
been more or less conflicting with some
authorities Claiming tnat goou warm
rains in the near future would bring
cotton up to a good stand and revive
the bearish view of the outlook based
on expectations of increased acreage
and reports of thorough preliminary
cultivation. Optimistic European trade
advices have been modified to some
extent by the developments of higher
money in Berlin but people connected
with some of the large international
houses claim that foreign spinners hold
a favorable opinion of new crop de-
liveries around prevailing prices, ow-
ing to the reduction in their raw ma
terial reserves Prospects for improved
trade with peace in the Balkans and
the uncertainty of the new crop out
turn Domestic mill consumption con-
tinued full during April but northern
mill centers are reported still more or
less disturbed by tariff uncertainty.
