THE WEEK IN COTTON.


New Orleans, March 1S.-As a re-
suit of combination of circum-
stances. the weekend cotton market
reflected cumulative strength. May
shorts at New York became very
nervous when they learned that
March premiums there had failed
to attract goodly quantity of ten
derable cotton. The metropolitan
banks began to protest against the
New York contract. particularly
against the system o. certificating
100 bales in each lot in place of
Identifying each bale. as is done at
New Orleans, and against the low
character OF cotton received on CON
tract at New York.
Next, the promise Of an early in
vestigation by the government
spread some alded concern among
New York short sellers
Then came reports from Liver
pool saying Egyptian cotton had be-
gun to show increasing strength,
and staple producers and handlers
in the South began to feel better.
Finally. the cotton belt sent in re-
ports that planting operations were
being delayed by unfavorable wealth
er. and said that termination will
be slow because the soil is cold.
The result was an advance at New
Orleans OF II points on March, 26 or
Many. and 81 on July; at New York
