| n d u S trial
Cottol,

Notices that between $4,000 and 90
600 bales of cotton would be delivered
on March contracts next Wednesday
issued here yesterday were generally
believed to have been placed in ci"cu-
lation by houses with Japanese connec-
tions. Trade interests bought March
contracts on a downward scale and it
was reported that Southern exporters
were preparing to take up part Of the
cotton, but some of the notices re-
manned in evidence during the greater
part of the day. The weakness of the
March delivery had an unsettling in
fluence on the general list, though after
selling as low as 1925 it rallied in the
late trading, closing at $3.50, or only
20 points net lower, while later months
closed from i to 5 points higher.
The failure of delivery notices to ar
pear Tuesday led to active buying of
March and considerable increase in
the March premium over May. The
difference between the two months mar
rowed from g8 points to about so poir IS
at one time yesterday and local spot
houses were buyers of March against
sales of May on this basis.
The local market for spot cotton was
steady and 25 points higher at $3.50
for middling upland, compared with
26-40c the day before and 3245c the
year before. Sales amounted to 100
bales.
The range of prices follows.

French Buy Large
Quantity of Sisal Grass
Take 5000 Tons for Making
Binder Twine for 1919

Representatives here of the CO.
mission Reguladora del Mercado de
Henequcn, which is the Yucatan. Mex
ico sisal grass monopoly, closed yes
terday with French inter ests for 5000
tons of sisal grass for immediate ship
ment to France. The hemp, which will
be used in France for the manufacture
Of binding twne for harvesting the
French 1919 crops. will be shipped
from New Orleans in the course of the
next two or three days, or as soon as
it can be loaded
The price paid by the French inter
ests for the sisal grass consignment
was approximately 1874 cents a pound,
making the total amount involved in
the transaction between 100000 and
$l,000,000. Payment was arranged ny
the French by giving the Mexican mon
opoly drafts against dollar balances
in New York banks.
Other European countries are max
ing inquiry through the Comision
Keguladora for large shipments of the
slsal grass. The scandinavian coun-
tries have already purchased large
amounts for use in the manufacture of
rope and further purchases are ex-
rected.
Shipments Of the grass to the
United States continue at a fair rate
and it is estimated that Imports this
year will approximate 100000 pounds.
