FIRM EARLY IN WEEKON
REPORT OF WEATHER
Better Trade Demand and Some Covering of Shorts.
Situation in Mississippi Valley Will Con-
tnue to Attract Attention.

New York, April 13.-The market
was firm early in tho week on the
bad weather In the cotton belt and the
continuation of threatening floods
along the Mississippi River. causing a
better trade demand and some cover
Ing of shorts here and at Liverpool.
However. prices advanced to the equiv
alent OF only ten points. or so cents
per bale. in both markets By Wednes-
day afternoon. The failure of the

rise, together with better weather and

cure profits and wait for lower prices

the cheapest market at present.
New Crop Outlook Chief Factor.
The supply and demand features on
the crop produced the past season, and
the probable worlds spinners' actual
consumption so nearly balance, that
the trade regards the future course of
prices for raw cotton is now likely to
be influenced more by the outlook for
the new crop than the thrashing over
OF old crop statistics. Therefore, the
weather and crop news Will become
more OF a factor on trade sentiment
with the passage of each week from
now on. than discussions of the tariff
statistics, or anything else. The big
question before the trade now is
whether the new crop will get the good
start next month necessary to produce
another large crop Planting has only
begun in the Southern half of Texas
and the lower part of Ala bama Gcor-
gia and in Florida, and the southerly
part of South Carolina to date a fair
estimate would be that only 20 per
cent OF the crop has been planted
There should be about 90 per cent of
the total area OF $4,000. 900 acres plant
ed By May J, and the balance com
pleted by the end OF the third week In
May. Everything in this respect de-
ponds upon the character of the wealth
