JOHN F. CLARK & coMPANY's DAILY
COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS. May 3.-The definite state
uenE tlat the announcement OF peace pro-
posals in the reichstag had been indefinitely
postponed, coupled with the official news from
London OF sensational increase i'm subma rine
losses. affected confidence in cotton circles and
the marEet experienced much selling this morn
ing SOON after, the opening, breaking July
% 1915. October 10 1922. The temporary suS-
peuse 10 technical support by the bull forces
allowed greater effect from the selling.
Liverpool showed advance of 40 to IA
points against IL decline due. The bullsh ac-
ton Of Liverpool reflected a worse outlook for
importation. The admiralty statement puts the
loss OF shipping for the week at %. Secretary
Lansing warns the United States that U-boat
warfare is seriously increasing.
The strong stock situation in New York
raising the possibility Of control Of the mar
Iet by bull interests as indicated. by yester-
days wires from there, make Judgment Of the
market more difficult than ever. OF course.
II the export prospects continue TO decline,
then may reach the stage where our future
markets the only outlet for spot holdings.
The shipping situation again is the center Of
attraction.
Weather conditions overnight we're favorable.
The spot market feels the effect Of the uu-
favorable marine news and brokers report de-
Hand flat. Our mills are not hurrying TO buy
when foreign competition is cut off by tonnage
conditions.
Hope that something will come along to i'm
prove the export outlook is likely to hold spots
Ia place for a while longer, and July futures
a. 1850 against our spot quotation Of 1878
already shows much anticipation that trad
ers hesitate TO sell further at the discount
and the market settled awaiting developments.
