WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
SHOWS ADVANCING TENnENCA

NEW ORLEANS, February 24-An
advancing tendency was held by the
cotton market last week. although trad
ing was restricted to some extent to-
ward the close Thursday by tho triple
holiday which followed. Prices at their
nest were 81 10 l13 points up on con-
tracts and the close showed net gains
for the week of 80 to 81 points. Spots
were 100 points up on middling. which
closed at 2l.3S. as compared TO the
closing price on March ot.3o.07
Inc main underlying influence was
the strength of spots and the nervous
ness OF shorts over the outcome of the
March position. March longs threat
ened to demand cotton for their con-
tracts and first notice day for thar
Thursday-brought out tender.
of only 200 bales. A covering move
'acnt OF Importance developed early in
the week among shorts.
EXPECT MORE SHIPPING
OF SOUTHERN COTTON
The better freight and fuel conditions
ana belief that the coming OF warmer
weather would greatly increase the
movement OF cotton from the sontb 70
tho mills encouraged the demand for
long account, and further influence
for higher values was the continued
delay 10 new crop preparations and in
creased signs OF only a moderate acre
age. Much was made on the Weekend
OF the Official statement that the supplv
OF ocean tonnage had passed it's low
point.
This week the contest between shorts
and long in March Will be watched
with greater interest. as will be the
spot demand, which has given evidence
or being on the increase.
Weather conditions arc bound TO be
u factor in the situation from now on
because OF their being on the new
crop and also because OF their elicc,
on the moving of freight. II is claimed
that spinners own large quantities OF
cotton in the South. which they will
snip when freight embargoes are lifted

great drawing card to the people on
the Reservation. and proved to be .
huge success. There was an inter-
esting sport program, including ex-
citing horse races. There were ex-
hibits of all kinds, showing the skill
and handicraft Of the Indians. A
distinct feature Of the celebration
WAS an Indian dance, In which the
various dances Of the Indians were
enacted by Indians In costume. The
fair was opened with big parade, In
which q hundred or more Utes took
part.
AS q result OF the fair, a handsome
sum was turned over to the Red
