NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, March 4.—After un early ad
vance the cotton market weakened today
points* *ttady at tt net decdllnu of 203
The market opened steady at an advance
of points and during the early trading
sold about 5 (f 7 points net higher In re
sponse to better cables than expected, con
tinued reports of a steady spot situation
and the early forecast predicting char
weather over the cotton belt, the advance
called Muy up to 9.60. or 42 points over
the low level of the last week and seemed
to bring out a great deal of realizing, with
offerings Increasing and becoming more
general following private wires from (’hi- I
cago claiming that It was generally cloudy !
over Texas with rain Indicated within the I
ngrt twenty-four hours. These reports
were accompanied by heavy selling orders j
and evidently made a considerable imprts- |
slon upon sentiment.
At any rate the market weakened, ij ,
many thought that part of the old crap sell- (
lng represented a reduction In the long lines
of leading spot houses, and before the d*- j
cltne w-as checked prices showed a net loss
of about 20 5 points with May contracts !
selling at 9.48, or 12 points off from the
top.
The close was within a point or so of the
loewst. Southern spot markets reported
were about unchanged to V*c higher. Ow
ing to poor wire service very little official I
weather news was received, the weather !
map falling to show conditions during the j
past twenty-four-hours In the Southwest. j
Private wires from New Orleans reported |
that there had been no rain In Texas or i
Oklahoma, but stated that the forecast Is
sued there is for unsetled weather.
Sales for future delivery estimated at I
about 150,000 bales.

Cotton remained unchanged in the

offloi.nl quotations continued at 9 3-16.
There is no demand from the mills.
Tlie cotton that Is being sold in Mont
gomery and other cotton centres will
be used to fill contracts already made.
There is also a little buying for April.
Locally, it is expected that the Euro
pean demand will pick up. One thing
ib certain, the moment that demand
from the mills comes, the price will
respond quickly as the tone of the
market is decidedly' bullish.
COTTON GOSSIP
Cables were higher and Liverpool
spot sales large.
The map shows generally fair belt,
except Texas and Oklahoma, where it
was generally cloudy, as was predicted
Wednesday.
The Journal of Commerce says cot
ton in the South is held very firmly
and Is In strong hands.
Pall-River says business in cloths
is small, and expects dullness to con
tinue for some weeks.
The into-sight for the w'eek prom
ises to be around 195,000 against 214,
325 last year and 242,171 in 1907. A
heavy loss in interior stocks is Indi
cated. We shall compare mill takings
with 297,000 last year, and 351,000 In
1907.
No rain has come to the relief of the
farmers in the early producing section
of Texas, and students of tlie staple
are now about ready to admit that the
chances for early new crop movement
from that part of the belt have been
pretty well cooked. Heavy rains in the
Immediate future would, of course, be
beneficial, but they could not restore
the month that has been lost and
every day of their continuance would
merely add to the already abnormal
delay.
In this connection, interesting ad
vices from Waco were to this effect:
“Conditions in Texas today are al
most identical with those of early
March, 1907, w'hen we had passed a
winter without sufficient moisture and
now' too much rain at planting time is
feared.”
The Texas crop of 1907 was 2.250,000
bales, as against 4,050,000 in 1906, j
w'hen the winter rainfall was adequate. I
Thus this new' crop outlook inherently
bullish, favorably affects the old crof>
situation.
!
An excellent resume of the influence ,
of politics upon the present price of
cotton has been sient out by a New’
York broker:
One of our friends, intimately ac
quainted wTith Washington and national
politics, sums up the immediate busi
ness outlook thus:
Taft is a statesman, a lawyer and an
arbitrator, but not a business man.
His only thought is that his party is
pledged to tariff revision, and he in
tends, as far as lies within his power,
to carry out the pledges of his plat
form. at thersame time giving oppor
tunity to the people interested in the
proposed changes to present their
views.
These views, in many cases, are rad
ically opposed to one another. Import
ers In many lines, would like to see
certain duties absolutely abolished,
while manufacturers, if they had their
way, would either maintain the pres
ent schedule or even raise the tariff.
*o as to absolutely exclude foreign
competition. The labor element, In
many industries, is supporting the
manufacturers in their efforts to pre
vent any, or at best, only nominal re
ductions in duties
All these Interests are represented
on the floor of Congress, and every
item of the tariff schedule will be vig
orously debated It Is considered im
possible for the tariff bill to go through
the House undor six weeks; and when
it leaves there, it must pass the gaunt
let of the Senate, with A’drich, the
leader of that body, unalterably op
posed to any reduction, which can be
avoided. #
Of course, the full pow'er of the ad
ministration w’ill be exerted to pass a
hill In line with the campaign pledges,
(tut it is safe to say that the extra
session will drag along for several
months, and that a final verdict will
lot be reached before June.
In the meantime the business of the
country w’ill continue disturbed, and
consumers will buy only from hand to
mouth. Such a condition of affairs
loes not augur well for a bull cam
paign In any commodity, unless some
lew influence arises, sufficiently strong
:o overcome the present handicap. The
sarly part of the planting season in
cotton may be sufficiently wet to fur
lish this new influence; but, as the
planting season extends normally to
May l, there is clanger that the present
arge long interest in late months, and
especially in October, will become
:ired and conclude to unload
In a carefully prepared summary of
:he February cotton trade, the follow
ing conclusions and deductions were
nade by a New York house:
“At the close of the month prices are
i shade up from the lowest, owing to
:he prompt stopping of March tenders,
tnd covering, but tlie general situation
remains quite unsettled and Cor the
ime being conservative people are In
clined to go slowly In adopting any
ixed position on the market, beyond
-he general feeling that ultimately
tigner prices are in prospect as a re
mit of next season's conditions. Con
idence in tills direction is based upon
iracticairy the same considerations
which we have previously outlined
First, that despite temporary setbacks
ind recessions, the tendency of trade
s toward a re-employment of the
world’s »pindleage capacity which lias
>een so Increased of late years that,
•unnlng on Tull time, it promises a re
juirement of at least 13,500,000 bales
if American cotton; second, that the
irobabilitles are against, rather than
n favor, of such a crop next season for
:hree reasons: Tiiat tw:o large crops
ire rarely picked in succession; that in
some sections of the belt the winter
precipitation has been abnormally
ight. and that the advance of the boil
weevil has led to a restriction of cred
ts in newly infested portions of the |
country that may result in reduced I
irea.
••Regarding the area: It would seem l
•easonable to suppose that the same
• ntiinent which lias been the support 1
>f this crop since the beginning of the '
;eason. that is. confidence in higher >
>t o'S next year, should have made an
mpression upon the grower as well as
lie merchant and consumer, so that a
-'uuntary reduction In area seems fait
hful. Opinions vai y widely in weii
nformed circles regarding the poss,
• le elTect of boll weevil. A recent
statement by the Department of Agri
uiture is rather reassuring on thi
mint, and on the whole, bullish senti
nent is based less upon this phase <>f
fie situation than upon the reported
nsuffioiont rainfall. Official data, now !
l\;i liable for the first time, showing
► r«*( lpitat'on in Texas for the month
• f December makes it apparent tiiat i
xcept in western sections of the State. |
ains f*>r tiiat month were in excess of
ast year. On the whole. therefore,
here i* nothing in present conditional
ustify.ng tlie assumption that the next |
:rop will be smaller than that now1
narketing beyond the Improbability of
wo large crops of desirable grade in i
iuccession.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRGDtCK.
Chicago, March 4.—Wheat prices brok<
sharply here today owing to ths private
reports giving estimates on farm reserves 01
wheat, which reports showed a much largsi
amount of grain In farmers hands that
had been forecasted by leading local hulls.
Part of the loss wan regained but at ih«
close prices were still below yes
terday's final quotations. Corn and oat*
closed firm but provisions were rathei
weak.
Following the weak closing In wheat yes
terday the trade at the opening today wai
In a position to cover short sale* or t<
place long wheat which had not been solO
out the previous day. This *ort pf hav
ing gave the market a moderately firm
start, much firmer than had been general
ly expected in view of declines at Ltvorp<>ol
and Rerlln. opening quotations being Mi fi
lie lower to hUher. compared wl'h
the previous closa .
The leading bull was a l*uyer of the '
delivery and this farced the price of 6
option up to 91.19H In the first few
utes of trading with a gain of UUHc «•»>
opening figures. Toward the end of ths
first hour the report of a local crop statis
tician w’as made bublic showing probable re
serves o| wheat still in farmer’s nand«
amounting to 123.000,000 bushels. These
figures were about 20.000,000 bushels in *»
cess of the estimate of the bull operator
who Is credited with practical control rf
the wheat situation here An estimate
made by a Kansu* City expert placed the
reserves at a still higher figure. rrofit
taking brought out by these reports caused
a quick decline. May dropped to fl.liH.
During the remainder of the dav the
market continued nervous. The close was
rather weak, with May at fl.lSHHH
July at $1.05*.
New high record marks for the se«!-oi»
were mede by all deliveries of corn. Itav
advancing to 61 HO He and July to
He. The market was bulllshly affected bj
the report of a local crop expert which es
timated farm reserves of corn to be nearly
106.000,000 bushels less than at the corre
sponding time a year ago. Local long*
were fair buyers but the market showed lit
tle response to the break In wheat. The
range for the day on May was 67H06AH
®Hc. The market closed strong ynth
prices up HfT'Ate compared with tshe prev
ious close. May being at 68Hc and Juiy at
67H@%c.
Oats also advanced to a new high »•
cord mark for the season, the May deliv
ery at one time selling at 56and July
at 51 . There was an active demand for
the deferred deliveries. The leading bull*
7’ore also active buyers. The market clns

with yesterday’s final quotation, May be

THE STOCK MARKE]
New York. March 4.—The Inaugura
tion of the new President was received
with passive satisfaction In the finan
cial district so far as the operatloni
In the stock market gave any surfact
Indication. The cheers of the broken
on the floor upon the announcement ol
the swearing In of Mr. Tuft we?a the
most tangible expression of the pre
vailing view. The point in the charac
ter of the new President which Is moal
prized In financial circles Is that stated
by himself In the appreciate estimate
of his predecessor, published In a pe
riodical .
Wall Street s appraisement of all tba
policies and Intentions outlined In the
Inaugural address Is tempered by the
consideration of Individual tempera
ment which the President thus him
self recognizes. The Inaugural ad
dress contained nothing to surprise
; stock operators. Aside from the fact
of the clear outline of intentions which
the campaign discussion and occasion
al published statements since had giv
en the circulation in advance of the
document Itself had given opportunity
according to professed claims In the
commission house to studv the text ol
the document before hand: The pro
fessional element in the Speculation
therefore would have had opportunity
to act on their estimate of the effects
of the address several days ago. Dur
ing that time professional efforts to
discount the Inauguration consisted in
- the occasional buying of a few stocks.
As It so happened that subsequent
j consideration Induced the closing out
| of much of this purchase the profes
! atonal traders found little left for them
to do as an expression of opinion over
: the political succession. The day's
dullness was attributable In n0 small
; part to the serious Interruption of wire
| communication with all parts of the
j country The telegraphing by cabls
was freer than by land lines and for
- sign operations In this market narrow
•* was Its dimensions, were or con
slderab e effect. The brightening of
the Balkan situation prompted soma
buying of stocks and helped the open
Ing show of strength here. There la
another little spurt upon announcement
! of the swearing In of the new Prest
i dent; for the present price vibrations
were feeble, although the market yleld
1 ed weakly at the last. The clearing
of the steel trade situation, reported
by the organs of tho trade, was not
definite enough or followedgby enough
buying to cause any great Impression,
mere was another drive against Erie
! on the score of the restriction upon
the permission for Its bond Issue. The
sustained strength In the wheat mar
ket. speculative as It Is in origin, dl
- — as 11 if* in uriirin, ai
rects increasing attention to the prom
Ise for the winter V-heat crop an.
keeps alive anxiety overJts fate.
Money rates are tending downwai
again and ready sale Is atlll report*
for new issues of railroad Donds
Bonds were steady. Total sales, pi
value, $2,284,000.
United States bonds were unchans#
