DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS. March 20.-The
Census report gives 13,9649Si bales as
the total ginnings for the season with
out linters, which compares with 49,
4S8, $50 last year Linters 6290l9,
against 602, S24 last year. The total was
decidedly less than expected and fully
confirms the contention that this crop
has moved faster than others. The
large movement so far has been sue
cessfully used to PROFOUND large crop
IDEAS, but to-day's Government report
and the present drop in receipts will
put an end to the further success Of
such propaganda. Considering the re-
duced reserves the much greater amount
Of lower grades in this crop, greater
wants and lighter weight, supply condi-
tions are distinctly bullish In relation to
the present rate Of consumption.
First trades here at an advance Of -
to IS points with strong upward ten
dency. but opposition in New York
shown by the increased discount Of 70
points Of May under March, checked the
advance here ana the market eased
little. However with this Census re-
port plainly showing the shortage in
supply for the season spot holders will
not give way and futures seem bound
to advance 10 spot prices
