Cotton

The cotton market was quiet yester-
day, but ruled generally steady, with
March contracts making a new high
record for the season. That delivery
sold at $3.50, or II points above Fri
days close, and the general list closed
points.
Trading was not active enough to
indicate any material change in scnti-
ment, and good part of the business
probably reflected evening up for over
the week end. After opening steady at
an advance of 2 to - points, prices
reacted slightly under realizing during
the middle of the morning, but small
offerings were soon absorbed with ac
tive months selling s to II points
net higher. The close was Il shade
off from the best on new crop posi-
tons, which probably reflected private
reports Of rain in the Corpus Christi
section. Local map readers, however,
said that barometrc conditions held
out no promise of relief from the Texas
drouth, complaints of which are again
TO TeICn Inc ing.
The advance was accompanied by re-
ports of trade buying in May and July,
but offerings were scarce, and it did
not require much demand to cause the
improvement. The strength of the
March position, reports of continued
advances in cotton goods, and reports
that spot were small were among the
features which seemed to restrict sell
ing, even if they did not inspire much
fresh buying for lorg acco ant. The
speeding up of shipments to New Eng
land mill points, both from the South
and New York. was also considered a
favorable feature, although expecta
tions of a heavier domestic consump-
ton were modified by reports from Fall
River that mill production is being
kept down by a permanent scarcity Of
labor. The big increase reported in
the visible supply Of American cotton
was due to seasons corrections in the
exports and s.hoats, but spnners' TAX
ings made a disappointing showing also.
The bearish features in the statistical
position are chiefly with reference to
supplies held in this country, and the
absence of spot pressure against the
markets tends to modify the influence
of such figures around the ring. Some
think that the final ginning report, due
on Wednesday, may turn the attention
of the trade more largely to the sta
tistical position, but pending the devel-
opment of new crop prospects, it is felt
that the course of prices will depend
most largely upon the further attitude
OF Southern spot holders.

Spot lead is scarce in the local mar

between prompt delivery and more dis
tant positions. There is only a light
demand for the latter.
The copper committee has been slow
in releasing metal for private consump-
ton, because of heavy government re-
quiremcnts, but no fear is expressed
of an ultimate shortage. Export re-
strict!ons at primary sources have in

Oats.-The oats market was under
heavy pressure and at one time prices
were down &c to Sic from the pre-
vious close. Final prices showed
partial reaction, but net losses OF
41sc to 47sc. There was very heavy
long interest than was generally be-
lieved to exist. The selling movement
was attributed to less active domestic
demand and to a weaker technical posi-
ton. Cash prices in the West were
lower, but on the decline some Western
cash interests raised their premiums 2
cents per bushel. The March position,
however, was very weak and the situa-
ton at large was confusing.

With Enforcement of Law
To Protect Soldiers

DALLAS. Texas, April I5.-The sa-

their doors for good at $3.50 O'Clock
tonight, the result of a law enacted at
IN" last special session of the legis.
lature prohibiting the sale of liQuor

Attorney General Looney put a ii.
nal dash on the hopes OF the optimists
when he Interpreted the law to mean
any place where an airplane lands
or where any military work is being
done was a military camp within the
meaning Of the bill. As a result. ex-

places, saloons, which as in other
western communities have played an
important part in the social and eco
nomic existence of the communities.
had their last innings today.
Did Rushing Business
The closing was uneventful. Sa-
looms did a rushing business in the
last few days. Thousands of bottles
and jugs OF liquor were taken away
in automobiles from Fort Worth last
week. There was similar prepared
ness in other places.
About 1900 saloons closed tonight
and the few that remain will be done
away with when a statewide act
passed at the last legislative session
becomes effective.
