COTTON PRICES IN
DECLINE AND RALLY
Markets for Past Two Weeks Have Been Dull and
Narrow?Demand for Spot Is Only
Moderate.
New York, Jan miry 29.?Tho past
"week was a repetition in most respects
pf the dull and narrow lluclunting mar?
kets of the previous two weeks. The
maximum fluctuation in prices for tho
most active options of March, .May ami
July since the Saturday before has not
exceeded twenty points. There was a'
decline early in tin- week of about
lift ?' n to eighteen points, with a re?
covery ami advance <>f about live to
m\ points, whlcli carried May up to
3 r..?>n gal list 1 1 S6, tho lowest priee.
Tlils rally, howe.ver, was ?lue more to
i'Overins of .-hurts atol a little bull
manipulation than to the development
of anything particularly new in the
general situation to excite bullishness.
Movement <>f the Crop.
Tie movement of the crop continues
to run on the equivalent, compared
vi th previous seasons, of what still
looks like a 12,000,000-bulc commercial
trop. riic heavy falling off in receipts
jwhleh so many have been expecting has
)tOt yet taken ; llice, ami there are no
indications at present that this is id
oceiir in aufliefen! volume in the near j
future to change the outlook as Indi-j
eato'l in the foregoing statement. The,
amount "f th<> i rop brought into sight
for tlii- week is about 21 1.000 bales,
nghinsi 100*000 last year und IjetV.OOO
for tiiis week in 151 OD. This makes the:
tot.il amount of the crop brought into
sight or marketed from plantations
Hlnce tile opening id the season on Sep?
tember 1 to date, according to the lim?
ine- of the New York Cotton Kxehange.
9,017,000 bnlesi Tins compares with j
S.310.000 the same time last year ami
Jl.i.??O.OOJ the corresponding p'erlod in

turned out lo,S5P.OOO bales, against
ifi.CiO.tiOO lust year.
Interim' stocks at tie- thirty-three
counted towns linvc lost this we. k up
patently only 15,000 bales. They arc
now about 515.000 hales, against (55),000
l:ist year.
Trade Demand. ,
T)ii! demand fei spot cot ton at pies-!
lent Is of only moderate proportions, j
JCxporls arc large, but this movement j
i'hlcfly represents cotton now going
through the closest of shipment from
the seaboard points to fulfil deliveries'
abiooi .>n pure hakes contracted by
Ktiglish and Continental spinners some i
tline ago; Such purchases may have
be. ti made is far back as November
find December. There is only a fair
dent incl at present from Kuropean spin
hers, KS Ihcy have pretty well supplied
I their wants and are now inclined to
I await citlior concessions from present
J prices <>r the assurance of better bus
I Iness t<>r the spring and summer sea?
son. American spinners are much be
j liiinl their takings up to tills time a
J year ago.
This is due to their more conserva?
tive feeling and poorer trade conditions
in this country than in England or on
the Continent the last several months.
It also reflects the unprofitable basis
for their operations from the higher
cost of raw cotton to values for most
Mines of cotton goods. When business
:'lh this country picks up. the demand
! from American spinners for spot cotton
will improve. Otherwise the curtail?
ment of production of goods will have
to he along more drastic lines than
the present ratio of to SO per cent,
to normal capacity, on which most of
the mills throughout New England are
now running
The I'lniil <'n vr rn incut lleport.
There air now no more government
re). iris due until March 20. On thai

the crop ginned to January I ."? as I
11.254.0011 bales. This would leave only
172,OOO bales to be shown In the Until]
report on March 20 to be ginned to equal
the government's total crop estimate of j
ll.l2(5.000 bales, exclusive of IInters. I
If .510.000 bales arc added for Hilters j
and repacks of sample cotton to the
government's crop estimate, ami also
about 10.1.0U0 bales of new CO t ton of.

Such a prospective total supply, -with!

which camad material weakness, but
almost immediately thereafter prac?
tically tlie samt; brokers were repre?
sented to he buying again, the orders
causing a sharp rally. In the opinion
of inanj dealers, these abrupt changes
merely indicated manoeuvring on the
pal I of the big bulls in" order to
strengthen I heir grip on the situation.
At the outset the bear element was
Komewhat elated on the ground that
the deal had come to an end. bui 1111
b'uscd leaders .considered it absurd
io imagine that such large traders
would hastily abandon such a deal at
this early stage of the game, especial?
ly when they probably could not do so
without a loss, whereas by lighting it
out they might squeeze the shorts
successfully in case bad weather
should <.>4j>ts.'- crop damage in this
?countr.*;* or* elsewhere.

the purpose of shaking out .small hold?

tributed to somewhat.favorable cables.
Kuropoan ihurkots hitvihg hold up re1

abroad, and particularly in Liverpool,
?was ascribed io less favorable reports
from Argentina and to decreasing pf
leritigs of cheap wheat for forward
'shipments from Australia, Manitoba,
It lid Argentina', These Influences were
|iiartjy offset, however, by unexpectedly
larger receipts at Minneapolis, ami
paiily by reports of general rains in
Oklahoma and Texas, where moisture
wrt5 badly needed, hut the weather
in tip showed no precipitation in that
quarter. Weather in \V es tern winter
wheat territory was somewhat un
favorable, the Lfmperaturo being un?
seasonably high, and consequently
alternate thawing and freezing was
feared. Therefore, a heavy snow
blanket would lie highly welcome. The
firmness was also partly caused by
the big deerease in our visible supply,
nnd also in the world's available, sup?
ply, which diminished r.,2fiO,ftOn bushels,
against ah increase a year ago of
497.000 bushels.

l.ate in tho week the market was in?

apparently a cre:it scarcity of Inlying

although they took five loads of ,\v>. 2
red winter for shipment to Antwerp,
the fust tcade of this kind 1n a long
time, and tliis naturally served* to
cheek the fail temporarily. The slug

limited milling demand and the report
that a few mills in the West had shut

The Treaty With Cunnda.
In f:Otnc quarters the heaviness was
Ciserlhc-d In part to the discussion re?
specting the possible adoption of the
proposed1 reciprocity treaty between I
tills country and Canada. It was nat* !
urally felt that if tlie duty was ma?
terial iy lowered or wholly eliminated
there would ho some reduction in cost
here, and possibly an equal rise in
Canadian inar.lieti?. Among experienced
dealers the impression prevailed that
the duty could not he changed ma?
terially in the near future, possibly
not for several months, and that such
Leases assure perfect* vision far

h proposition would inert with oppo?
sition from farmers. The distant or
now crop options were relatively
steady, partly because it wns contend/
cd that they had been selling ;it too
big a discount, especially in view "f
the unsatisfactory weather ami crap
outlook.
The temperature in witter wheat
territory recently was uncommonly
high for the season, the mercury reg?
istering 58 in Missouri at 7 A. M. on
Thursday ami Friday, and stuili sum?
mer heat will not only cause what Ut?
ile snow there might have been to
disappear, but may result in alternate
thawing and freezing, which is the
thing most to be drcuded. The down?
ward trend was partly ascribed to
continued abundant receipts at .Minne?
apolis, and partly to discouraging
cables. Kuropean markets being in?
fluenced by the unexpectedly heavy ex?
ports from Argentina, notwithstand?
ing which the visible supply there in?
creased appreciably. Then. too. offer?
ings of cheap wheat for forward ship?
ments from Australia and Itussia con?
tinued free.
A'nrrow .Movement of Corn.
Inactivity and narrowness were llie
chief features in the corn market Ulis
week. Apparently large commission
houses were buying in Chicago' every
time May fell to 50 cents, em' even
a: the highest point it was only I
cents. The temporary- strength early
in the week was attributed largely to
further and more detlnltc reports re?
specting the detlctcricy in the Argen?
tine crop, it being claimed that the ex?
portable surplus will be pi per cent,
less than in the past crop year. In
the opinion of some shrewd dealers
this means that Kurope will have tc
look to us for a much larger ounntity
than in 1910, some estimating their in?
creased wants here at least ] ti,000,000
bushels, and possibly 2 5.0 in/,.i.
Recently our exports show ? d ma?
terial enlargement, and wji.htn a few
days heavy purchases were reported
by exporters for forward shipments,
mainly from February to May inclu?
sive, h'?ri?nntely prices have been held
down to an export parity by the fair?
ly large receipts at primary points It
is claimed that the good buying In
Chicago on the soft spots was
prompted by the assumption that corn
was intrinsically worth current figures
in view of the comparatively high
prices ruling fm- hogs. in short, it
was argued that farmers would lie
foolish to ship corn to market at any
further decline as long as Ihcy coiild
make better profits by feeding.
WEATHER MAP WILL
BE WATCHED CLOSELY
Now Orleans. I .tu. January .'f?. -With
tli<< last census report of tin- seanon
out of Ihn way and tlift size of the
commercial crop a mat tor "f no great
dispute, thi cot tost trade now is square?
ly facing t he quest ion of whet her there
is to !>?? a campaign for a rise in the
spring and summer months or not.
h" or some lime past there have been
many rumors that a strong bull clique
is in control of the May delivery in
this market, but this story lias been
laughed down.
There has i-een much transferring
of the long Interest from January to
March, and with January liquidated
these (wo months will command most
attention, and it ought not to he hard
to detect signs of any unusual trading
in either position.
The weather map now is hound to
conic in for more attention than has
. n paid it for several months. Should
tain fall in the West, the bears will
try to make t a feature of general in?
terest in an attempt to roh the statis?
tical position of some of tho attenion
bring paid it. According to tii<- best
information coining into this market,
there is a large area of important
cotton-producing country in Texas and
Oklahoma that lias not been receiving
anything like an adequate winter rain
fail; although light rams have been
reported here and there in both States
for some time. This, it is claimed, lias
Caused back war,l preparation for the
new crop in some sections, and is
against the success of the next crop,
since it is the. general idea that winter
rains are conserved in the soil, while
spring and summer rains are quickly
evaporated. The claim of the bulls i*
that unless' rains fall soon the cotton
plant over a large area will suffer for
moisture during every dry spell of
the season. Unless rains fail soon in a
general way, the droughty conditions
in the West will he a market feature
i of great importance. The statistics
of the coming week will be eagerly
i watched for. Stocks of cotton will
command much attention, and should
they shrink, as they have this last week.
Investment buying will be stimulated.
