JoRN F. CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, May l6-Bears had clear
field this morning and the fact that there was
so little selling would indicate that bear OPP
erdtlOnS have been carried near limit and
that the opinion may be gaining ground of
covering level having been reached. With
the market i'll a Hquidated condition and short
interest probably representing the speculative
side, there arises the question of supply of
contracts in case of covering demand devel-
oping. 1t is this proposition which probably
holds bcarish action now check.
The weather map presented favorable con-
ditions and there sno general news of
definite character. all of which was in favor
higher TO meet the resistance in Liverpool and
offerings were surprisingly light. This alb
of selling prompted some covering by
shorts and the market showed a rally of 90
points within the first half hour. Bearish sen
tment probably prevails, but selling seems
cautious fearing an oversold condition in
contracts.
Liverpool futures did not follow late
decline.
Washington news said the war trade board
announced today that shipments of cotton to
leave the United States after June so, will re
qure speciay individual licenses.
Cloudy weather prevailed over south Texas
and the Atlantic coast sections with rain
in the lateer and generally fair weather else
where over the belt Temporal lures normal. In
dicat ions are for increasing clOudiness generally
with possibly showers in the southwest.
The market assumed an attitude of waiting
steadiness around %. 40 for October. Buyers
had the encoura cement Of better spott news,
it was reported that 1000 bales medium to
lower grade cotton off color and spotted was
sold this morning and more interest developing
generally for the lower grades at the attractive
allowances. While we may have some eSelllng
spells on the spur of the moment, it looks rs
if the main wave of selling had passed over
the market and that the question of how to
cover to secure the most benefit is now to
the fore.
