WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE CONDITIONS Condition of the Markets as Told In Dun*s Weekly Review of Trad.- and Finance* The business outlook is better than 1b indicated by the Current satistk of bank clearings and railroad earn ings. In dry goods, while the move ment continues on a conservative basis, and with an absence of any speculative oxpanslon, there is, nev ertheless, a notable influx of buyers from all parts of the country, and both the domestic and export demand for cottons 1s good. The Cotton Market. After working to still higher levels on the opening day, considerable pres sure was directed against cotton, and a moderate decline ensued. It was considered by many as being nothing more than a natural reaction follow ing the recent sharp advance, and there was a pronounced rally later on active short covering. The market is now plainly a two-sided affair, with the long account showing increased confidence as a result of the brisk recovery from the low point touched when the government crop estimate was issued early in December. How ever, the largest bullish interests are not in favor of a too rapid advance at this time, although strong support is furnished whenever actual weakness is threatened. It is significant that spot houses have latterly been good buyers and are advising purchases on each decline, while the demand from domestic spinners shows some signs of broadening out. Moreover, no If111?? emphasis is laid upon the fact that spot sales at Liverpool have kept Up well in spite of the Lancashire labor troubles, which, it Is now contended, will be adjusted before the close of the current month On the other hand, many people are skeptical as to just when the lockout will end. and the ex isting uncertainty in this respect tends to promote more or less nervousness in the speculative markets. In so far as the statistical position is concern ed, depressng features predominate, since it is becoming increasingly evi dent that predictions of 15,500,000 bales or over for this season's crop are apparently justified. This view was strengthened by the ginning re turns made public by the Census Bu reau on Tuesday, .the figures showing thai 14,332,706 bales had been account ed for up to the last day of December, or fully 1,867,000 bales above the pre vious high record, established in 190'.). Of even greater significance, however, is the fact that in five states the quantity ginned already exceeds the entire government allowance for those sections, the gains ranging from some 13,400 bales in Florida to over 63,000 bales In Georgia, while In Oklahoma the ginning is within 12,.">00 bales of the official estimates for that state. When It Is remembered that the gin ning reports will continue to come in until around the end of March, and assuming that 500,000 hales may be added for (inters, It Is not difficult to see that the commercial crop will probably exceed 15,600,000 bales. As regard the outlook for the new crop, which is now attracting attention, a good deal of discussion is heard about the threatened reduction In acreage, owing to the big decline In values dur ing the past year. Obviously, nothing definite can be known at this time as to what will be done in the spring, but It is at least gratifying that there has been ample rainfall over a large portion of the belt this winter. From the opening of the crop year to January f>, according to statistics compiled by the Financial Chronicle. 9,6ir?,066 bahs of cotton came into sight as compared with 8,464,750 hales last year and 7,406,528 bales two years ago. This week port receipts were 351,269 bales, against 264,502 bales a year ago and 101,200 bales in 1010. Takings by northern spinners for-the crop year to January were 1,105,163 bales, compared with l,20r>,020 bales lasl year and l,2r>2,327 bales two years ago. Last week's exports to Great Drltian and the Continent were 110, 906 bales against 221,378 in the same week of lall, while for the crop year 5,487,721 bales compared with 4,554, 480 bales In the previous season. Stocks of American cotton <n the United States on January 5 were 2, 545,227 bales, against 2,059,606 bales] in 1911, 1,625,384 bales in 1910 and 1,977.141 in 1909; and In Kurope and afiont 2,364,880 bales, against 2,282, 714 bales last year, 2,283,1140 in 1910 and 2,659,714 in 1909; a total of 4,* 910,107 bales, against 4,342,410 bales In 1911, 3,909,024 bales in 1910 and 4,636,855 in 1909.
