WEEKLY COTTON REPORT.

New York. March 14.-(WeehIy
cotton. )-Reports that heavy rains
were delaying crop preparations, and
rather q better spot demanded from
exporters checked the decline in cot
ton early in the week. and caused
rallies of about 20 points. Arbitrago
houses and trade interests continues
buyers on the advance, but there WAS
little indication of broadening specu-
latiYe interest and after a consider
able reduction in Wall street Of scat
tering short accounts the market
showed renewed hesitation, owing To
prospects for clearing weather in the
belt, bearish weekend figures. and
claims that March export engage
ments were not heavy enough to make
any lasting impression on prices. The
stormy weather south did not appear
to have created any apprehension
as to the new crop outlook. although
it emphasized the fact that a avor-
able start is depended upon weather
conditions during the next two
months. Last year wet weather In
March attracted considerable atten-
ton as little preliminary farm work
had been accomplished. This sea-
son, however, preparations were re-
ported we'll advanced before the re
cent rains, and sellers have expressed
confidence hat a few days OF good
weather would find the trade quite
as optimistic over tho prospect as
previously.
Meanwhile, rather a more favorable
opinion a developed regarding poll
tical conditions abroad. and expecta-
tions OF ultimately strong statistics
have been fostered by reports that

gued that the surplus from the 1s.-

discrepancy. and many
nearish expressions of opinion were
aiil circulating here towards the end
OF the week even though the action
OF prices had suggested the
susceptloliity to any hint Of unfavor-

New Orleans, La, March 15.-The
cotton market lac n very steady tone
on the closing session Of the week.
The opening was steady at q rise of
4 to 5 points. Gables were better than
due and the weather map showed too
much rain In the eastern belt again
and cold weather in the western. A
decided drop in temperatures with
freezing weather over q good part of
the western belt was a feature OF the
forecast for Sunday. The market
gradually worked upward until the
trading months stood S to 10 points
over the close Of yesterday. Commits
sion houses did considerable buying
at times, which was taken to mean
that h outside public was becoming
interested in the market. At one time
the gossip Of the market named large
traders on the bull side as being heavy
buyers. Late in the morning the de-
mand slackened and, under scattered
selling, prices fell of. The close was
steady at a net advance Of 3 to 6

and the verdict and then returned to
the court room.
When the verdict Of guilty as
charged was read, Attorney George
Davis, representing the defendants.
raised technical objection that the
verdict did not specify each defendant
by name. The jury then retired again
and changed the text OF the verdict
slightly in order to name each Of the
three Filipinos found guilty Of first de-
gree murder.
City and County Attorney Cathcart,
who handled the case, is given credit
for mastery marshaling Of the
forces of the prosecution, while Davis,
appointed to represent the defendants.
conducted his work admirably, giving
the accused men the benefit OF irnpsr-
tial counsel.
