NEW YORK, Feb. 1O-The market
has ruled quiet but steady all the
morning While there has been consid-
erabe ring short covering Wall street
still continues bearish a further rally
is talked of a the moment, but no ad-
vance of consequence just now is looked
for. Outside speculation continues lin

Never sell dull market" quoth NJ
d Burnley. 81 consider ii dangerous
to be short of cotton lust now as the
market undoubtedly is oversold and if a
buying movement develops there would
be stampede of shorts"
The New Orleans Times Democrat
says Though the developments of the
hour favor the bear, there is no lack of
items from which the bull may get COM
fort. Neither the big movement, nor the
failure of Memphis bank, settles the
relation of supply to demand during the
rest of this season. For the big move
ment may mean an abnormaly small
remnant and the failure Of particular
bank counts for little in world wide
business.
Tn this connection. it may not be
amiss to note that the British Board of
Trade, in its report for January, puts
the eXnOrtS of yarn for the month at
10, 100, 900 pounds (the same al last year.
while the shipments of cloth are placed
at 6SS, 100 900 yards, as compared with
648 900 900 for January of 1913. This
does not look as if shrinkage of demand
were on the cards and it thus becomes
doubly important to know whether the
seeming increase of supply is a tanta-
lus cup.
In such circumstances. the specula-
tive public will more and more fix its
eyes on the new crop. October con-
tracts are selling at a discount of S4
points as compared with March, in
New Orleans. This amount of more
than 81 bale minimizes the strain on
the reserves, since spinners will buy
distant futures, instead of the actual
! stuff to hedge their distant contracts
for yarn and cloth. But this discount
would quickly vanish if distinctly bad
news from the fields poured into the
rings.
Thus it might easily happen that a
drop in the movement coinciding with
ghost stories about the crop. the entire
outlook would undergo a revolutionary
change Such a change appears impos-
sible just now. but there Ia no such
word as impossible" in the speculative
lexicon.
