was easier. probably on the usual even
ing-up over the weekend and uncer-
tainty as the effect of to-day's Cen
sus report on the American markets
The Census report on supply and dis
tribution published this morning was
an agreeable bullish surprise. Owing
to the sharp cut in mill takjngs in the
past four weeks IL was believed that
the January consumption by our mills
would be much below last years record
consumption of 534 900 bales. To-day S
report shows instead that the consump-
ton of our mills during the past month
was 1000 bales larger than last year.
Another bullish feature shown in the
Census report is that stocks in manu-
facturers' hands are 81 900 bales less
than last year. which means that with
greater mill activity there is more raw
material to buy.
First trades here were at unchanged
prices, but the market soon advanced
on scarcity of sellers and growing de-
mand. Bullsh confidence is Strength
ened by toldayS bullish statistics OF
record consumption in this country and
smaller mill stocks. Futures are too
cheap, compared with spots and if the
firmness in spot prices should continue
for another week. an adjustment by adj
vance in futures would seem most likely.
The undertone of the future market
here Is decidedly stronger
Spots are quiet to-day, but steady. No
rush to sell any kind of cotton.

stocks responded to moderate buying.

disposition exists among wheat traders
to look upon the market as two-sided
for the time being. The disposition
to sell corn short on the breaks makes
1t easy for a efw local bulls to control
