New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. February 13.-Cotton was
depressed on this market today chiefly
owing to reports of rains in Texas over
the holidays. Toward the end of the ses-
sion nervousness was displayed over the
coming census bureaus report on Amer
lean mills for January, due tomorrow,
and expected to show unfavoraby on
consumption. Last prices We're . TO ~
points down net.
Prices fell 20 points in the early trad
ing on bearish claims that the drouth in
the western belt was ended. Later Texas
kilograms claimed that the rains We're
not of the soaking variety and had done
only temporary good On this the mar
ket advanced until October stood II
points over the close of last week and
the old crop months were unchanged TO
points down, net. At this point the
market stood on very steady under
tone because of good spot accounts from
the belt and the refusal of spots here to
follow the decline in contracts.
The selling movement of the afternoon
carried prices off to about the lowest
levels, except on October, which dis
played resistance. March made new
low for the day and closed at the lowest
net drop of rs points. October stood
only points off on the close.

COTTON MARKET
WAS IRREGULAR
Liverpool Was an Early Sell
er-Near Months Close
% to q Points Off

New York, February 1S.-The cot
ton market was irregular today with
the near months easy under scatter
ing March liquidations, while late de-
liveries felt the influence of buliish
private advices as to the prospect for
the coming acreage After selling at
20.44c early May contracts rallied to
2s. roc. then eased off, closing at 29.47c,
with the general list closing steady
at decline of % to 81 points on
present crop deliveries, hut l to
points higher on the later months.
The market opened easy at de-
cline of 1S to "a points in response
to- the decline in Liverpool over the
three-day adjournment and Liverpool
selling orders This selling consti-
tuted the chief pressure, but it was
partly attributed to hedging against
spot purchases and 1t was well alb
sorbed around the initial figures with
southern spot firm among the buy
ers. The foreign selling ta2ered off
as soon as the English market closed
and rallies during the middle of the
day were encouraged by the probable
elimination of heatless Mondays, the
bullish average of spot advices and
reports, particularly from the eastern
belt, that the acreage was likely to be
reduced owing to fear of boil Wee
vii, scarcity of labor and the neces-
sity for large food crops. March rail-
lied from 10000 to 3022c while july
sold up from 2S.SSc to 29.15c, and new
crop deliveries worked about to 10
points net higher.
At this level sTthe advance was
checked by the appearance of scat
stering March liquidation which sent
the price of that delivery off to 2s.9Sc
in the late trading. Later months were
influenced by the near-month weak
ness and the tone of the market
seemed to be unsettled by rumors that
the government was to commander
the production Of some of the New
England mills. furnishing them with
the raw material and fixing a price
on the goods made from it. General
business was quiet during the entire
day

Chicago, February 13.-Improvement

out that all but four roads to the
east from Chicago were now accepting
freight without limit. A further bull

by the chairman of the agricultural
committee and would mount to so

Brisk demand from shippers lifted
the oats market after initial declines.
Sellers were scarce, owing largely TO
assertions that carriers would dis
criminate against oats and would han
die as long as great quantities of corn

Provisions advanced on account of
reports that further government con-
tracts would be placed in March.

trading by events over the holidays
Leading issues gained 1 to points
and a few specialties as much as 10
in the active first hour.
Later the greater part of this ad-
vantage was cancelled for no appar-
emit reason other than resulting from
profit taking and the failure of spec
ulative interests to follow up their
initial operations.
There was a moderate accumulation
of buying orders, but this demand was
soon satisfied. The usual divergence
of opinion prevailed respecting the
significance of President wilson
latest address and the bewilderihg
chang IS in the Russian situation. IN
no important quarter was 1t beheved
that peace prospects had been hast
ened.
Shippings showed their prominence
and strength to specific causes, B.

companied by reports of Forthcoming

weather conditions had much to do with
the fluctuations in the cotton market to-
day. although favorable spot accounts
from the belt and the refusal here of
spots to follow the downward trend OF
futures furnished q steady undertone.
Reports of rains in the west over the
holidays caused enough selling in the
early session to put prices 20 to 80 points
under the close Of last week. Later on
claims from Texas that the drouth had
not been effectually broken and that
more rain was badly needed, there was
recovery on the old crops and an adj
vance of the new which put prices 5
points down to II points up compared
with Saturdays finals
Late in the day nervousness over to-
mcrrows census bureau report on con-
sumption resulted in another selling
wave which carried the near months off
to about the lowest levels

be bound to feel for long time the eff
fects of prolonged drouth. We doubt
very much whether many counties OF
Texas even with the best of weather,
could come back to full cotton produc-
tion this season. Spots are in better
demand with holders showing no anxiety
over the recent quiet. With middling at
10 SIC and March around 29.25c. we can
see no good reason for any other attitude
but of buying. especially on breaks

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New 7 ork, Febfuary 13.-The market
ruled lower today, largely due to an
impression that in some way, either by
regulation in the price of cotton goods or
by new legislation in the Lever bill, the
price of cotton would be regulated. This
idea has found Judgment In the minds of
many people and led to slow liuuida-
tion all day. 1t will require some posi-
tive denial to check this movement. Rain
is predicted for eastern Texas, but there
is no storm center on the map to in
dictate the needed heavy rain.-Hubbard

an oversight. as most merchants try to
undersell the boards figures.
