Avery's Letter

News and fluctuations in the cotton mar ket were scarce today. Prices continue to move within narrow range, and likely will until the uncertainties Of the political situation are cleared away. The action of the Senate today in tabling the Gore resolution indicates the probable action in the House, and with this bick- ering finally removed the final outcome in the dispute with Germany will no doubt be settled without great difficulty.
 The weekend statistics were bullish so far as received, the final figures on the spinners not being obtainable in time for analysis in this letter. News from the interior on the spot question was about even, some reporting in a pessi- mistic vein and others being optimistic as to the nonability or ability of hold CTS to finance their holdings further
 The weather was decidedly bullish az regard sthe preparations for the new crop, freezing temperature being report ed down to the gulf. This is the factor that will be of paramount importance in determining the activity of the demand for the remnant of the old crop. The weather in the western belt is as un- seasonable as 1t is in the eastern belt Texas lacks five and one-half inches of it's full complement of winter rainfall which points to a wet spring.
 Considering the clearing up of the po- litical skies, it might be good idea to buy a little July cotton at the present price or at any moderate setback.

Sugar Market

New York; March 3-The local market for raw sugar continued firm and trad ing, While not perhaps as active as yes terday, was again on a liberal scale with refiners and operators buying for future requirements. The recent active demand for refined for home consumption and rumorS that Cuba has sold considerable sugar on fob basis to others than Amer ican refiners seems responsible for the apparently unabatable demand for raws here, and reports that Cuba was suffer- ing from drought which might necessi- tate the lowering of crop estimates at a time when the worlds supply of sugar will easily be taken care of. seemed to have some influence on local operators. The days business was placed at about 100000 bags of Cubas for prompt. March and early April shipment at A. cents, cost and freight, equal to 5.27c for centri- fugal and 15,000 bags for May shipments at 5-16 cents, cost and freight, equal to 533c for centrifugal, while there were also sales of between 40OO0 and 5000 bags of Porto Ricos for prompt shipment at 5.2oc for centrifugal. The market closed firm at 527c for centrifugal, 4.50c for molasses and 414c for Cubas, cost and freight.
 In refined the market was firm with a good withdrawal demand and some new business reported, although trading on the whole was not especially active. Prices were quoted on the basis of 6.35c for fine granulated. The market for sugar futures was active and prices were flrrner on a good demand from trade in- terests and some buying for outside ac- count, prompted by the continued strength in the spot market. Closing prices were to points net higher; March sold at 432c, closing 4.30c: May 4.36c to 4.40c, clos ing 439c; July 449c to 4.50c, closing 4.4oc; September 4.59c to 4.5Sc. closing 4.59c; De- cember 4.45c to 446c, closing 4.45c.
