JOHN F. CLARK C co.'s COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1O.--Several news d.
yelopments overnight were against the marke
this morning, explaining the weak opening
20 to 40 points below yesterdays cIusiL.s
prices. The large discount of futures unuv
spot quotations and news from spot quartz
Indicating still urgent demand for cotton,
gardless of cost was again the checking fact,
To a definitely bearish turn in the market.
The local press contains the announcenea
that a conference of presidents of farmer
unions is called. Texas, Oklahoma, Arkans,..
Mississippi Alabama, Georgia and some Othe.
will be represented. Effort will center j.
checking any rabid increase in acreage of co,
ton. one expression is that under existing his
prices there as a tendency to Over-es TINA,
acreage increase for 1918.
The weekly statement of London on shippiu
losses was considered unfavOrable.
Boston says hundreds of New England mil
facing a shortage of raw cotton, fully d.
serious as the shortage of coal; unless imme
date relief is secured, mills will have L,
suspend operations Fan River and New BED
ford mills, which receive cotton by water, al,
even worse handicapped by inadequate steam
ship service,
Further very severe winter weather now in
dicated to come over the entire country
likely to aggravate the situation.
The weather map shows cloudy western hall
fair eastern half of the belt; showing
northwestern Texas, Oklahoma and western Ar
kansas. Indications for unsettled, rain
snow Texas and Louisiana, change to rainy Il
central and eastern belt, followed by sever
cold wave tonight and Friday. During the frs
hour already reports from north Texas
said rains were breaking the long drouth.
After rallying nearly 20 points from openins
depression the market again weakened sharpl!
on rain news. 1t is claimed that some spot
sold yesterday after hours over quotations, Ou
no business reported far this morning an
bidding is lower on the decline in futures.
Technical conditions have been weakened b!
Yesterdays drive, which forced recent spot in
terests TO cover and spots are the only direct
incentive to support at the moment.
