COTTON MARKETS
Market Fairly Steady, But
Disposed to Hesitate.
Weather Favorable.
saturday aftenoon. April IL

Saul a9 eAANA ANbOAAB app 90
Some strength was displayed by the
speculative market during the short
session, although improved weather and
expectation of bearish figures Monday
on consumption OF raw material during
March in the United States induced
some liquidation. The reaction did not
so far, however. and Just before the
close recovery came and finals closed
at a moderate gain in New York, but
in New Orleans there was a slight loss,
with final ton called barely steady.
News affecting values was rather
scarce, The weekly statistics proved as
beartsh as expected, but there was con-
tinued optimism as to peace negotia-
tons. Reports indicated that progress
is still being made and that the big
sest problems have been solved. weekly
reports as to trade were regarded as
favorable, which helped sentiment as to
spots.
The map showed that the only rains
in the cotton belt were in the extreme
east and temperatures were generally
higher, with prospects for continued
good conditions. This served to dis
courage buying, but there was a rumor
of a private report coming soon show
ing a big cut in prospective acreage,
Another report had it that the March
consumption vas something more than
100, 600 bales less than a ear ago for
the same period, and this also encour-
aged some hesitancy.
New July in New York opened at
24.40, touched 24.46, as low as 2i,2I and
then again went up to 24,46,. The tone
at the finish was very steady and the
list of new contracts from 10 to &c
| points to the good. Old style were un-
changed to 80 higher. In New Orleans
finals were barely steady and un-
| changed to Is points to the bad, while
the old were 20 up to IL Off.
Liverpool on Monday should come II
points up to l down.
Spots were generally quiet anG
changes slight. New Orleans sold 42I
bales, Memphis 3,100, Houston 1,475
| Dallas 1919 and Augusta 317.

Says Haiti Is Subdued;
Big Future in Sugar

New York, Oct. 24-The steam
ship Panama of the Panama Rail-
road Company arrived here from
Cristobal and Port au Prince, Haiti.
with 1876 passengers aboard and a
3,275 pound cargo of sugar in the
hold.
Major w. W. Buckley, for the
past two years Marine Chief of Po-
lice of Port au Prince, said that the
efforts of the Marine Guard in Haiti.
in cooperation with 2,600 native
constabulary, had proved effective
in subduing the Haitian lawbreak-
ers and driving the bandits back
into the hills.
The possibilities of great develop
ment in sugar production by Amer
lean interests in Haiti were described
by F. Henry Berlin, another passen-
ger on the Panama, who has been
interested for many years in engi-
neering projects in Haiti. He said
that the climate was ideal for sugar
raising and that 100000 bags were
produced last year. Haitian sugar
men expected to double that amount
in 1920. he said, and to triple it in
1921. He said the people of Haiti
had accepted the American occupa-
ton philosophically.
