SHEPARD & GLUCK's COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. 14.-It was
small market in cotton today but the tone held
steady in the face of bearish features that de-
veloped 1t looks very much if recent sell
ing has created a considerable short interest,
which, together with the lack of rains in Texas
and the healthy feeling in the spot demand, sus-
tains values around present levels.
On the opening there a rise of "a 10
POINTS after which the market fell off TO a net
decline of points the easiest months. This
was the full response brought out by the small
American mill consumption for January. Later,
the trading months moved up to net advance
of 12M16 points. but in the early afternoon an
other sagging movement carried prices down 10
a net advance of 5d10 points.
The census figures showed consumption IN
this country during January of 524,0SS bales,
not including linters, against COL ,3S1 during
January of last year. This was about ex-
pected, in view Of the fuel holidays and the
difficulty our mills are finding in transporting
their purchases Of raw material. Mill stocks
at the end Of January only ,69T AS bales
against 2,306.o3S year ago, the northern
mills holding only 593 14s bales against 1,011.-
sos.
Iicatless Mondays are being discontinued
over the greater part OF me country anu We
the freight and fuel situation. On this basis
alone we think cotton is a purchase.
