COTTON DECLINES ON
COAL STRIKE FEARS
Expectation of Heavy March Deliv
eries Also Contributed to
Induce Liquidation.
SPOT DEMAND LESS BRISK
Easier Tone to Interior Markets, With
New England Spinners the Chief
Buyers at Present Level.
Bearish Influences predominated In the
cotton market yesterday, and a pessimis
tic view of the Urltlsh coal strike out
look, the probability of heavy March
deliveries to-day, sluggish spot markets
and liquidation bv some of thu recently
converted bulls brought about a maxi
mum decline of 10 to It points, part of
which was recovered beforo the close.
Liverpool showed considerable steadiness
In the early trading, but later turned
weak and closed at a net loss of three
English points. Spot sales were In fair
volume at a sain of 2 points. The selling
movement, which occurred about noon,
was participated In by Liverpool, New
Orleans, Memphis and local traders.
It was surmised that one prominent local
operator who has .been talking very
bulllshly lately had quietly slipped out
of his long commitments because of tho
unsettled feeling over the prospective
British coal strike.
It Is possible to get any sort of opin
ion regarding the coal strike. Bearish
firms In Liverpool state that the outlook
Is very grave and that conditions at pres
ent point to n actual strike. Others
with less bias Incline to the view that
R strike would be too serious a develop
ment and that all the Industrial and
nfllclal resources of Orent Britain will
lie brought to bear to ward on such a
calamity. The very magnitude of the
disaster affords some guarantee that It
will not be permitted to happen,
Jn addition to the pessimism emanating
1 1 dim coal strike talk the belief that
March deliveries to-day will bo. rather
heavy caused a certain amount of liqui
dation. The certificated stock Is approxi
mately 138,000 bales and In spite of the
fact thnt cotton cannot he brought here
for delivery at present pi Ires without
loss. It Is believed that a great deal of
cotton now hen. will he tcndeicil to shake
out trailing longs and nfford an oppor
tunity for the shifting of hedges.
Another featuie which caine In for
some bearish consideration was tho quite
evident lull In tho spot demand, Farm

COTTON NOTES.
Talladega, Ala., wired: "Continued
rains. Still raining. If conditions were
known by the trade prices would advance
a cent In two days."
Liverpool cabled: "Think strike will
be settled by Government Intervention
this or next week,"
Another cable said: "Present Indica
tions point to a national coal strike.
Outlook very grave."
Austin, Tex., wired: "Conditions for
next crop could not tie better so early
In the year nnd the outlook Is very
promising,"
ISenuregnrd, Miss , wired : "V have
the coldest, wettest winter In years. If
thW doesn't kill the weevil nothing will."
A Liverpool letter of February 15 Bald:
1 "The equanimity with which our market
, irgards the Imminent prospects of a coal
j strike Is duo to the widespread belief
that such a strike has been threatened
! for no long ttiat nil spinners, manufac
turers nnd others concerned havu pro-
vldiil against it by carrying unusually
1 huge ten'i'ves of coal, Many spinners
I are said to lie also carrying extra stocks
I of cotton at the mills lu order to obviate
any transport dlfllcultles that may arise
In the etent of railway services being
stopped oulng lo scarcity of coal."
THE GRAIN MARKETS.
' Wheat Showed a Small Decline nn Further
Liquidation lllg Supplies,
Wheat again dilfted to ,1 lower level
It lias 1 (tit1 dropped 4 cents and to
mailt the tcchnlial hihIIiiii looks far bc.
(it th, 111 it did a tthlin iigii. Hut Ihcin Is
a dribbling out ot wheat from various
sources day by day and yesterday some
decline In corn was not without Its effect.
The statistics too were In some respects
disappointing. That Is to say the de
crease In the visible supply for the week,
which was expected to reach about n mil
lion bushels, turned out to be 863,000
bushels. The receipts rtt the Northwest
were large, especially at Winnipeg. The
visible supply In this country Is 57,573,000
bushels, against 41,472,000 bushels a year
ago. The Southwest has a good cover
ing of snow, Favoroble crop reports came
from Kansas. Tho weather throughout
the winter wheat belt was In the main
favorable. The cash demand at Chicago
was light. For the time being wheat has
no aggrexslte friends, although It Is well
known, or nt any rate very generally sup
posed, that certain large Interests at
Chicago are heavily committed to the
bull side and are bound to seize the
psychological molnent If It occurs to give
prices nn upward Impetus. Yesterday
Liverpool advanced ' to .d., and Buenos
Ay res wns unchanged to 14 c higher. Itus
sla's shipments for the week were 300,000
bushels less than In thepievlous week and
were not much more than a third of what
they were for the same week of last year.
The total world's exports amounted to only
S, 024, 000 bushels, or about 100,000 bushels
less than In the previous week, and 3,
600,000 less than In the same week last
year. The clearances were 155,414 bush
els. Tim tluentened coal strike In F.ng
Innd, which has been having a depressing
effect abroad. Is still a factor worth bear
ing In mind. There was a London rumor
that Prime Minister Asqulth in tho event
of a national strike had determined that
the Government will take over ond work
temporarily nil tho coal mincH In England.
But as already Intimated, there was suffi
cient pressure of liquidation to cnuso a
moderate net decline, though earlier In
tho day a small advance took place on
covering of shorts, the firmness of corn
nt that time ond reports of a good cash
demand at the Northwest, The Minnea
polis stock has Increased In two days
1 25,000 0 bushels. Winnipeg's receipts
amounted to 78 enrs, against 685 a week
ago nnd 162 .Inst year. In tho American
Northwest the arrivals amounted to 417
cats, against 626 last week and 281 last
year. A good many think from the size
of tho receipts thnt the crop has been
underestimated.
Corn was at one time higher but wound
up lower. Had weather was reported in
the belt, but the pressure of liquidation
later , on caused some recession, The
weather and crop prospects in Argentina
nre favorable, At Chicago there was little
cash demand. The world's shipments
amounted only lo .1,100,000 bushels, against
4,223,01X1 In the previous week and 3,747,000
last year, hut neither such statistics,
bad weather at the West nor the fact that
rountry offerings were small carried much
weight. The truth is tho receipts con
tinued Inrge, Chicago's stock gained nearly
noo.ooo bushels for the week. Tills handi
caps the market for the present. The sam
ple market In ('lilcagp Ml Ji to lo. Oats,
like other grain, worn at one time higher,
but onded lower under liquidation, Coun
try offerings nt Chicago were small and the
cash douiund was fair, hut on the other
hand was less active, and standards lost
thnir premium and dropped to the May
price. Home look for a slow market for a
tlmo and then n revival of speculation.

BETTER TONE IN COPPER.
Refinery Stock Will Dwindle to About
60,000,000 Pounds This Month.
A decidedly better tone prevailed In the
copper market yesterday, with a strong
14Hc, level prevailing. In the afternoon
the Miami Coppor Company, one of tho few
independent producers marketing Its own
product, made a sale calling for May de
livery, at 14Kc cash. This was the best
electrolytic price of the day so far as could
be ascertained. Lake copper In email
quantities Bold at H.'Jo.
Yesterday morning the net cash f, ol b.
New York price was generally advanced
6 points to 14! So. a pound, but on a thirty
dny basis this was equivalent to a strong
14!4c and In some instances a little better,
according to destinations of consignments.
American consumers bought freely for
April and continued to inquire for May.
It was also pointed out In the trade that
ome March copper remained unsold. .
A possible coal strike in England stood
forth as an unfavorable factor, for with
labor trouble in Great Britain It was re
garded that trade In general .would be de
pressed. Private cables, however, indicate
that Europe was not deterred from making
new commitments, as foreign buyers were
In the market with large demands.
Kxports of copper reported last night
as the weekend shipments amounted to
1,001 tons, bringing Februnry exports to
date up to 20,831 tons,
Stocks of surplus copper at refineries
will have dwindled at the end of the month
to near the 50,000,000 pound mark, with the
result that March 1 available copperatipplies
In the United States will have established
a new low water mark since the present
Copper Producers Association came Into
existence. A reduction in stocks of more
than 10,000,000 pounds Is ei pec tod to be
shown In the next statement of the refiners.
Last month's 23,000,000 pouni'is falling off
was a complete surprise to members of the
association. February's may be equally
as surprising.
Production for the month will be lower,
but the per diem ylold of the refineries
will be greater undoubtedly than earlier
months, owing to Influx of new coppor.
Chlno output, although small,, will be felt,
Granby resumed production in December,
and somo of this copper may have been
treated at tho Nichols refinery before Feb
ruary ends. Miami' contribution has
assumed substantial figures, and the same
may be said, of Hay Consolidated. Tntnl
deliveries of at least 140,000,000 pounds have
oeen preuictea.
The lmportnnt.advlces of nenrv Tt. Mr.
ton A Co, of London came to hand, saying In
part:
"When the publication of the American
producers' figures gave nn eloquent account
01 ne activity reigning at present in the
copper consuming industries nnd nhowmt
such a tremendous reduction In the Hurplus
biu.i'kb uurncu as 10 unng uown these re
serves to the lowest level known, it wns
scarcely anticipated that the European
statistics to bo compiled soon afterward
would reveal very much alteration. Yet
in spite of record shipments from the other
side of tho Atlantic the vlslhlo supply n
Europe has during the past fortnight shrunk
again quite considerably,
"The rate at which the visible supplies
have beon druwn upon during tho past
few months must be regarded an absolutely
unprecedented and ought to be lookott upon
as tv matter of serious consideration on the
purt of those Interested In the copper trndo
for there are plenty of Indications which'
make for a continuance of large require
ments everywhere In Europe for some time
to come, and evidence Is not wanting to show
that there are many manufacturers who
have yet to cover their needs for the Imme-
untie nuiiro ,
"ThU will probably result In further en
croachment upon the stocks carried In
pukUo wturh(yu, and ws must hop that
the Increased production which we expeot
from the States will soon come to the relief
of what may otherwise develop Into a pre
carious situation. Whether this eipecta'
tlon will be fulfilled In the near future It
Is impossible to forecast at this moment "
