DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, March 20-The
Census report gives 10, 964 9S1 bales as
the total ginnings for the season with
out linters, which compares with 10,
4SS, 500 last year. Linters b290l9,
against 602,3 1924 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 i'm receipts will
such propa ganda. Considering the re-
of lower grades in this crop. greater
wants and lighter weight, supply condi-
tons are distinctly bullish in relation to
the present rate Of consumption.
Weather indications are for continued
cloudy, cold weather Further snowfall
and colder in the Eastern States. Such
weather will cause further delay to a
successful new crop start. which Is al
ready late.
First trades here at an advance Of Y
TO l6 points with strong upward ten
dency, but opposition i'm New York
shown by the increased discount Of 10
points Of May under March checked the
advance here and the market eased a
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 TO spot prices.
Spot people still report good demand
at full quotations.
