JOHN +. CLARK CO.'S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. From the very SEN
sational tenor Of political news and rumors cir
cula ted last week there quite a change over
Sunday TO more hopeful views and expressions.
Liverpool showed decided steadiness in the
face Of the poor markets on our side. The
sudden drop In spot sales still lacks proper In
depreciation while a view Is current that 1t nav
be due to some arrangements for larger textile
output by Canadian mills. The ultimate re-
suit OF large consumption would of course not
be changed by shift in the production OF tex.
Accounts Of the Delta river situation are
causing concern. Arkansas reports a large area
under water and serious danger of an extension
Of the flooded territory. A strong cold wave
may bold matters In check for a while, but
the map shows today large storm formation
on elevated temperatures coming from the west
on the upper Mississippi section, with the pos
sibility Of further extensive precipitation.
Our market opened few points higher on the
strength OF Liverpool but there was no real
support. While the settlement of the LUST
tAnis affair is expected this week, there Is
fear Of further unsetling rumors, and New York
gossip shows q bearish feeling prevailing TO
cotton. Some believe that bearish efforts
might De particularly pushed this week, taking
advantage of political uncertainty, and be-
cause the census consumption report next Mon
day is likely to be so bullish that II may de
priVe the bears OF the control OF the market.
Anyway there is growing impression tina
bearish moves of late are with the Interior in
tention to cover shorts and get hold of e.
market low possible for bullish develop
ments Of the future.
Our mills during January. 1915, consumed
only ass, 900. The census this year Is likely
10 show q much larger consumption.
No change in the spot situation. Holders con
tinue firm. II Is thought that a favorable
settlement OF the Lusitania affair would in.
crease the demand. The week starts with goo,
exports, A., 900 bales on Saturday.
A letter from Bremen Sav that there IL an
enormous speculation in foreign freights
Is largely responsible for the high "a ties.
Futures varied only 3 points since the open
Ing and are now steady around 12.04 for July.
