Increase of 100000 Bales in
Indian Output Gives Strength
to Bears Stand

MEMPHIS, March with the
help of movement that has held
up surprisingly and generally favor
able weather over the belt, COMPETE
ton in Europe with a large supply
of Indian and Egyptian cotton and a
continuation of general business 10
move forward along moderate lines,
pending the adjustment of certain dir
ficulties, the bears have been enabled
TO shove values down some. This
has been manifested more in tho
speculative department than in the
spot markets in the belt, although
such is natural and Is in the usual
order. There has been some wesk-i
ening here and there, and quotations
have been shaded a little at most OF,
the centers.
One thing that has occupied much
attention has been the enlargement
of crop ideas to 100000 bales. This
has been stimulated by the continued
freedom Of receipts, although 1t was
claimed by the bulls weeks ago that
exhaustion was not far hence. There
tas been a slower rate of reduction
than anybody expected. and the
consequence has been that traders
have raised their expectations. 1t
showed that cotton was coming for
ward and promised to leave much
smaller deficiency between needs and
supply than was thought possible.
The official figures on the Indian
crop, the largest competitor Of this
country, showing an increase of about
600, 600 bales over last year. also has
supplied bears with campaign ma
terial. The better grades have con-
tinued strong, but tie market has
been made more by the lower grades,
the others being relatively very
scarce.
Demand for spots has been but mod
crate, buying being confined almost
entirely to those concerns that were
under contract for March shipment.
Spinners have distributed few new
buying orders. 1t is figured that the
mills in this country and Canada will
need around 100000 bales, which
would indicate that before new crop
can be available the visible supply of
the old will be reduced to small pro-
portions.
The weather is becoming more i'm
portant, and any bad developments
will find quick response. The general
assumption continues to be that a rec
crd acreage will be planted, although
with new crop options selling at
about 11.25 cents, it seems to ting
average market observer that a great
deal has been discounted.
