Cotton

Crop progress was the governing
factor in the cotton market yesterday.
Prices advanced early when the first
sentences of the weekly Weather
Bureau report were received, saying
that more moisture and warmer wealth
er were needed in Texas for satisfac-
tory termination and that the growth
of cotton which was up had been re-
tarded by cool nights. A little later,
when other parts of the weather report
made it plain that conditions for field
work had been favorable in most local
tiles and that planting had made good
progress, the market became heavy. At
the low level. good buying appeared,
and prices advanced until by mid after
noon they were nearly SO bale above
the low marks. The market remained
steady during the rest of the session
and closed with net gains of % to
"a points.
News from the Southern spot mar
kets and the goods trade tended to
restrain selling. The drygoods bust
ness continues to improve. Some large
sales are being made in the Southern
spot markets. Spot sales at Liverpool,
too, are increasing. They amounted to
1000 bales yesterday, whereas they
iihNC OSCii lUlIllilS 1IOll o,UUU 10 4,UUU
bales. This is taken to mean that
neutral nations are in the market, now
that the embargo has been removed,
for the purpose of stocking up in anti
clpaton of exporting to the Central
Empires later on. Another movement
which is expected to be started it is
said, by the removal of the embargo,
is the forwarding of more than $40
100000 of cotton goods, now stored in
Manchester, to the Scandinavian coun-
tries.
The shipping situation is the cause
OF some concern. Some observers say
they cannot understand the steadness
of the market, in view Of the difficulty
which exporters are having in obtain
ing freight room. The shipping prob
lem was emphasized yesterday when
the Shipping Board established sur
charge of % cents hundred pounds
on cotton shipped from Atlantic and
Gulf ports to Liverpool and London,
This surchargc was imposed, in lieu of
demurrage, because of serious DELAYS
in unloading at the British ports.
In the local market, spot cotton was
quoted at 2S.75c, an advance of 25
points, with no sales. The price last
year was 29.40c

1t took the widest speculation in

What would happen if the public

Standard Oil workers have dis

situation yesterday as follows "Vari-
GUS reasons are ascribcd for the mar
kct's strength this week, which is more
general than any Of the recent upward
movements. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that the chief factor is the
knowledge that the last war loan of the
government will soon be out Of the
way and that there is every indication
it will be oversubscribed Following
this it is believed that there will be
distinct improvement in the money
market. With plentiful supplies as
sured in the future and obtainablc at
reduced rates, good dividend stocks
yielding large returns will be lifted
out of the market, thus further re-
ducing the floating supply"
