Weekly Cotton Review

New York, February 20-rhe cotton
market has had another quiet week.
A Lullish view of the census report on
supply and distribution inspired some
scattering demand. which sent May and
July contracts slightly above the H.
cent level on Monday, or about 35 points
from the recent low records Buying
also seemed to be encouraging by re-
ports OF continued steadiness In south
ern spot markets, and talk of large
spot mitments for March ship
ment, but the demand did not become
general or aggressive, and prices have
since fluctuated irregularly. owing to
scattering liquidation while trading
was restricted toward the end of the
week by the approach of the three
day adjournment.
Many local traders believe the strad-
die lines, short of May or July here
| against purchases of the corresponding
delivery in Liverpool haze been re-
duced, and there has been some SELL
| ing of March against purchases of the
| later spring months. or July.
| Very little cotton appears to be head
| Ing in this direction from the south
| for contract delivery. however, and
March has maintained its premium.
while there has been further selling OF
late months here supposed to be against
purchases abroad in the expectation
of further widening of the differ
cnces. These wide differences between
markets and between months undoubt-
edly contribute to the uncertainty OF
sentiment as expressed around the ring
and as a reflected in the apathy of
general business. Moreover. both sides
of ordinary market uncertainties are
being emphasized. Thus. some are pre-
dieting increased pressure of low
grades with the approach of the plant
ing season. while others predict that
March commi tments are heavy enough
to cause a sharp advance. Nearly all
traders anticipate increased acreage
this spring and extensive cultivation,
but 1t is also realized that all this de-
pends largely on the weather, and
some predict a late spring, following
u comparatively open winter.
Meanwhile few profess to see any
immediate pressure OF actual cotton or
any urgency of Immediate demand. and
the general ruling of the market has
DOUBTLESS reflected a disposition to
await fresh developments.
