JOHN F. CLARK & co. COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, March Liverpool board
this morning showed a heavy decline 60 to G3
down on spots and futures 40 to 80 lower
of straddle and hedge interest between Liver
pool and New York or improved import pros
poets. Another report from Liverpool attributed
the decline partly to reduction in war RISK
from So to 3 per cent. II the decline in
Liverpool should be due TO easier import
outlook it would be bullsh for our side but
there is far no news on tonnage to sug
gest it.
First trades here were at decline OF to Is
points, but as New York soon worked higher
on Liverpool buying in that market, quick
rally followed here with May trading 20 points
over yesterdays closing prices, inside the first
hour. Reports from various sections Of the
belt suggest relatively large ginnings during
the wind-up period and the census consumption
report for February, on March 15 promises bear
ish by comparison with last year.
II Weather conditions continue favorable TO
rapid development towards new crop. Re-
ports from the interior suggest increase in
acreage. Washington says In monthly weather
report: Flowing for cotton is in progress and
some planting was done in Texas and Florida
earlier than the average.
The weather map shows partly cloudy TO
cloudy belt; light rain Alabama, Atlantics and
trace over south Texas.
The contract market, after brief spell Of
activity the adjustment Of early trading,
turned quiet after the close Of the English
market The spot situation is unchanged
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
Il. f. Hutton & Co.: There appears to be
nothing in the general cotton situation to war
rant any material decline.
Bond, McEnany Co.: Demand has been so
persistent during the past two weeks that some
let up is looked for, together with an easier
buying basis.
