COTTON MARKETS
Market Quiet and Moderately
Lower, influenced by Fear
of Labor WaIkout.
Saturday Afternoon, Feb.

Nothing startling happened in the
pFleE session of the market today, but
9heasiness over the labor situation in
domestic textile districts served to re-
stTdin buying and thus bears were able
70 uepFess prices moderately. Sellers
We're not aggressive and the undertone
appeared steady enough, but a little
and professional selling APP
geafed, without proportionate willing
Monday is said to be the time when
the test will come over the labor stu
alton IN New England. The situation
Is n where the operatives ask for a
shortsr working week without any re-
uuctlon in pay, thus meaning an adj
vance in their scale of wages, Advices
during tie day said that some mills
were willing to grant the request, while
others were not. Some other wires eX-
pressed confidence in the trouble being
adjusted without a strike, and that
seemed to ltssen pressure. But pending
aetlnite action the market sagged a
little.
The weekly statistics made a bearish
showing and perhaps helped to postpone
buying of the actual, although in n
or two centers there was some business
done and advices said that inquiries
were better. There was, however, MOTH
ing suggesting exporters doing much
and the statistics did not point to any
large exports soon, for the amount on
shiphoard was smaller than a week ago
and movement toward ports continues
light.
The weather continued favorable over
the belt, but certain indications point
to some rains and a probable breaking
up of the fine spell. In fact, II was
raining this morning In Southwestern
Texas, while forecast called for such
to extend owe night, more rains now
will merely ~aggravate the already IN
siderable delay to winter farm work,
while the prevalence of flu in many
sections continues to interfere with get
ting the fields picked.
Finals in the New York market were
steady and IS to II points to the bad,
while in New Orleans the list lost I to
II points. Liverpool, which on Mon
day will begin to operate on the new
contract based on fully middling, is
due to come S-points off,
There was little change in spots and
sales were generally light, New Or
leans sold 2,469 bales, Memphis 400 and
Houston 256, No change was made at
any of these centers.

: While Venus rules strongly for good
today, according to astrology, Saturn,
Uranus and Mars are all IN evil as

This c~onfiguration gives much prom
Use to the ambitions Of women in both
business and social matters,
Progress for in industry Is
f~oretold, but there will be serious labor
complications In which they are con-
cerned, the seers declare.
Saturn and Uranus are in places that
bode surprises for army affairs, much
gossip being prophesied concerning mil
itary matters.
There is a sign read as Indicating
the massing of troops and ever some
sort of conflict.
Astrologers gravely counsel that the
United States be exceedingly careful
and cautious in regard to some event
now close at hand and surprising in it's
character. -
Saturn is in a place supposed to in
crease all difficulties in working UNI
derground. Mines may face uneX-
pected problems and may nave output
greatly curtailed.
Minerals little used but made valu-
able because of war needs may now
suffer depreciation, but the seers
nrophesy increased wealth from them.
Agriculture is subject TO a sway that
is exceedingly threatening, Storms may
cause heavy losses before SPRING, but
there Is augury of prosperity later In
the season.
Under this planetary government,
which will extend it's influences over
many weeks, the public mind will prob
ABLY be unusually open to suggestions
both good and evil, and much criticism
and comment will be prevalent where
public men are concerned,
The spirit of criticism will be re-
vealed sharply in all legislative bodies,
where there win be heated debates and
fervid oratory, which may at times be
unduly emphatic, =.
Persons whose birthdate it Is should
guard against false promises in the
coming year. They may lose money
through deception.
Children born on this day are likely

According 20 astrology, this day Is not
important in its planetary sway, all the
influences being less pronounced, than
usual, Mercury and Neptune are mild
ly adverse,
During this configuration it is wise
to pursue routine matters. These SEEM
ing times of nonaChlevement are held
10 he important, since they store up
energy for future initiative,
Mercury is in aspect making for conS
tinued gossip and criticism of persons
in places Of the sun, This tendency
will be evident in social circles, where
scandals will multiply,
Newspapers are subject to influences
that encourage bitter personal attacks
ard revelations Of public matters that
are distul bing, Graft will be discoV~
cred In many places least suspected.
Some sort Of a crisis in labor mat
tiers is foreshadowed. A leader may
suffer from unjust attacks On his mo-
tives and policies,
Divorces are likely to be more nu-
merous than ever, and before the win
ter Nends there may be widespread dis
cussion of marriage laws,
Women have a direction of the stars
that seems to promise for them ro-
nance and wooing, Immunity from
s~entimentality win not be conspicu-
Gus even among those VINO are IN Dust
ness or professional life.
Publicity today may not be particu-
larly fortunate, but the stars %foretell
great increase Of advertising Of every
sort.
Mars today is read as warning Of
conflicts ad disturbances on this cor
tinent. These may be industrial, for
many strikes again are prophesied.
New vocations and business enter
prises are prognosticated, and In these
women will share benefits equally with
men.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have many anxieties in the coming
year. They should safeguard health
and be watchful in all business affairs.
Children born on this day will be
| clever and industrious in all prohabil-
ity, These subjects Of Aquarius usual
" succeed best when they are m
ployes.

NEW Z T T

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-The more
active months We're 10 to 10 points up
on the first call in the cotton market
today, but selling based on fear Of In
creased labor troubles among the mills
caused a quick decline to a level 26 to
80 points under yesterdays close, The
market was given a steady undertone
by the predictions Of rain for the cotton
region and by reports OF a continued
good spot demand.
Enough selling developed to put
prices 90 to 36 points under yesterdays
finals, but short covering was felt late
in the session and 1t caused a reaction
of 20 to 80 points from the bottom.
Spots closed steady and unchanged.

Spot Quotations Nominal

The period closed with New York OPP
tons from 127 to S. points to the good,
and New Orleans from 1917 to Is up.
Spot quotations continue largely nom
as low as $3.50 and as high as 80 cents
at leading centers in the belt.
1t Is admitted that the immediate
course of prices depends almost IN
tirely on how spots move If the
spinners adhere to their policy Of buy
ing In hand-to-mouth fashion, there
will inevitably be shaking of conf
dence among holders and bears will
find 1t easy TO hammer prices further,
There have been 20 distress .slgpa's
hung out yet by the holders, although
plenty Of evidence Of their anxiety
over prices and their ability to sell.
Concessions have been made and spot
prices lowered, but offerings have been
! moderate and 1t anpot yet be said
that holders have lost their fright,
The mills in this country have been
facing slow buying of finished goods
and prospective labor troubles, while
foreign consumers have withheld buy
ing pending stahilizins OF freight rates
and adjustment of credit facilities, IL
is generally felt that when the foreign
ers begin to buy freely the mills In
this country will also show renewed in
terest in getting raw material. They
are still working or an enormous profit
basis, but naturally are not going to
buy raw material so Tong as they can
defer it, especially when 1t remains to
be seem whether they win be forced
| to pay more for it than indicated by
the recent action in the future depart
ment. It is not a matter Of what the
mills can afford to pay and sustain
their profits, but of how cheaply they
can buy. The next few weeks win he
