New Orleans Cotton


New Orleans. February 11--Small
advances persisted during the greater
part of the session in cotton today.
moderate buying being stimulated by
a somewhat better feeling in the spot
department locally, and at some points
in the interior, while highest prices
were reached on kilograms from
Texas, stating that returns to Texas
bankers from both Texas and Okla
homa indicated a reduction of IS per
cent in the shrinkage this season. At
the highest the trading months were
IS to IA points over the level of yes
terday's close with March at 1896.
Prices gradually sagged toward the
end of the day and closing quotations
were at net gains of 2 to points,
March closing at 1926.
The trading of the opening was af
fected by better cables than due, but,
after advances of 6 to s points, offer
ings increased evidently coming from
traders who expected bearish January
American consumption figures, from
the census bureau the first thing Mon
day morning. The market gradually
fell clf until it stood at net losses of
s to 10 points, with March down to
1912, but after the middle of the
morning its tone was steadier.
Mill takings for the week of $4,000
bales against 2S9.00o last week seemed
to have the effect of lessening the
demand in the late trading.

DOUBLE HOLIDAY
HAS ITS EFFECT ON
NEW YORK MARKET
Leaders In oil, Steel, Food and
Miscellaneous Divisions
Made Up Majority of
Stock Trading
BY Associated Press

New York, February n.-Waiving ali
other adverse or negative factors, the
impending double holiday was of itself
sufficient to reduce operations in the
stock market today to insignificant pro-
portions and triflng price changes.
Reading was the only outstanding ex-
ception to the general rule, that stock
being under persistent pressure as a, re-
suit of reports which intmated that the
segregation plan may prove unfaVorapie
to common shareholders interests iden-
titled with the company were quoted,
however, as declaring that no definite
plan had been formulated
Trading otherwise was made up almost
exclusively of the usual leaders in the oil,
steel, food and miscellaneous divisions,
with a shrinking of utilities, including
Peoples Gas, Western Union Telegraph
and Twin City Rapid Transit.
Minimum quotations were established
in the first hour, when increased offer,
ings of Reading, which closed at loss
of s5s points depressed other rails, as
well as leaders in the oil, metal and ar
filated groups.
The bond market was dull to the point
of extincto and changes in that quar-
ter reflected the hesitant tone of Stock.
Liberty issues we're an exception, virtuxa
ly all but the 31as ending at gains. Total
sales, par value, were S9125,OO0
A contraction of almost S7S'000OO0 IN
actual loans and discounts by clearing
house banks emphasized the dull week
in the stock market. Net demand de-
posits decreased by about s47500,0Oo, and
a cash gain of 81 $4,000 lifted excess re-
serves to about $19,350,0 900.
All the leading foreign exchange mar
kets were firm to strong, dealers report
ing larger bids for sterling, French ana
Belgian francs, and remittances 10
Switzerland, but Scandinavian sales reg
istered little change.

EAST ST. LOUIS LIVE STOCK


New York. February 11.-(Special.)
The markets has shown a decidedly
good tone and has ended up the week
by continuing steady The past week
the market has been under heavy
pressure from outside influences and
decidedly bearish talk of large carry
over. plenty Of cotton and mills we'll
supplied. In spite of all this talk and
the constant hammering by bears why
is it that our market advances rapid
ly on any favorable news and remains
steady on any decline?
The secret is that the underlying
influences tend towards Improvement
and better trade and new demand, but
artificial interests believe that time
has not yet come, and consequently
direct their operations along bearish
lines.
In the event Of trade picking up.
cheap cotton can be had. The mills
are all standing by now. At the first
sign OF good news we will see a de-
mand and consequently slightly better
prices. The strength Of Liverpool il
due to buying of March against sale
OF October. This will relieve pressure
of spot cotton in that market. and has
been fostered by banking commune

features of the play grounds can all
be amply provided for on the property
owned by the school district.
