NEW ORLEANS, Mnrch 6.-IHe C0II"Il
market today was mainly concerned with
weather conditions, the freezing weather
over the belt. with snow here and there,
being accepted as meaning further delay to
new crop preparations some buying was
based on the days export movement of So
1913 bales against 100 this day last year.
At the moment it is more weather market
than anything else and it is not likely to
decline materially unless the weather out
look improves greatly.

CLEVENBURG,s COTTON letter

NEW YORK, March S.-Cotton started
out very dull, at about unchanged prices,
but became active and worked higher dur,
ing the day, first on scattered buying OF
October due to very cold weather south
with reports of extreme backwardness in
crop preparations and later on large buying
of May and July, supposed to be for prom
nent operator now at Palm Beach, Sell
ing was scattered. Aside from new crop
influences the market was helped by two
supreme court decisions favorable to the
stock market: Sterling was lower. Elk
ports were 81, 900 bales today and IS, 600
Saturday. New crop months look a pur.
chase on setbacks and should come up much
closer to July and May. Very few, however,
dare max ethe switch because of the
chances Of squeeze in the old crop months.

Mystery to Fiancee

CHICAGO, March 6.-Whereabouts
OF Angelus j. CASTOR. a director of
experimental chemistry and inventor
or a chemical propulsive agent for
depth bombs used by the United
States in the World war, was mys-
terry today, which caused concern
here. Caston's fiancee and his broth
er, Samuel CASTOR, said they be-
lieved the inventor had been kid
mapped.
Castor left for Washington We'd

ancee, to collect government royalties.
The next day she received a post
card bearing his signature from Bat
tie Creek, Mich. and few hours
later a telegram from Detroit said
CASTOR had been killed there by a
train. Then followed another tele-
gram from Detroit and a post card
mailed from Detroit late Wednesday
night, bearing his signature and say
ing he was leaving for Chicago.
The. Detroit kilograms were sign
ed by The Identification Company

COTTON

NEW YORK, March S.--There was some
trade and Liverpool buying in the cotton
market at the opening today. First prices
were 6 to 35 points higher, and active
months sold about 8 to "a points above Sat
urdays closing after the call on a scatter
ing demand from Wall street and commits
sion house sources. The easier showing OF
foreign exchange and the stock market, en-
coura ged considerable local selling. however,
while there a little selling here from
eastern belt points, and the market turned
easier shortly after the opening, with May
selling off from $500 to 35. SO and July from
80. IL to 1902, or within 6 points Of Sat
urday's closing.
Prospects for improving weather in the
south probably promoted some of the scat
tered early selling but trade interests were
buyers Of early crop months, and the
market turned firmer late in the morning
on the large exports. May contracts sold
up to 1922, or 40 points net higher, while
July advanced TO 1880 and October to 1904,
SO TO 80 points above Saturdays closing
figures Business not active on the
advance and March relatively quiet dur
ing the entire morning, selling only points
net higher.
The market showed an increased strength
during the middle of the afternoon owing to
advance in the stock market, Wall street
and southern buying. Nearly all the more
active months made new high ground for the
1900
July to 33. 40, or % to 81 points net higher.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, March s.-Abnormally
cold weather in the belt gave the cotton
market firm tone today and in the first
half hour of trading prices rose 10 to %
points, May touching 1868 and October
1880. The effect, of bullish weather news
was increased by better Liverpool prices
than due. The general opinion was that
farm work would be greatly delayed by
temperatures of freezing from one end of
the cotton region to the other and tempera-
turSe of well below freezing at many points.
The large exports for the day, 41,079 in
the early hours against 100 the whole lay
last year, increased the demand for CON
tracts. Late in the morning the trading
months were 27 to 80 points over last week 8
close. October showed the most strength
and rose to 30.46.
the interior and predictions that 1t would
delay blowing greatly, even with better
weather in the near future, caused a further
demand for contracts. At l o'clock the
active months were 25 to 46 points higher
than Saturdays close. october touched
1854.
