MARKET IRREGULAR
AND UNS
Sentiment Has Been Mixed in Regard to Imme?
diate Situation and Outlook?Prospects
for the..New Crop.
N< \v York. Febfhary 2ii?The mar- ,
ket was irregular arid unsettled ]
throughout lite week. Trading was ol
aln irregular character from the mixed
(sentiment prevailing amont; the gen
eraiity of operators ami trade Inter?
ests regarding the immediate sltua I
lion and outlook. The first two days
of the week'si liquidation predominated
and caused a decline of 22 to ?_'?"< points
tin all the options for this crop's de
liveries under the lead ol .July, which
-wont down to 1:1.M against 13.S4 for
May, IS.?r, for .March, ami l.T.r-0 foj
August. The next crop options wert?
not tinder so tiittch pres.sureJ They 1
however, declined 1*> point si with 1 >c
tdher breaking to 12.51'. and Decent li'bi
to 12.10.
The holiday on Wednesday checked
1 he selling movement, and when bus?
iness was resumed on Thursday, with
:i !>etter tone having developed at Man?
chester during tin- Interval, the hull
interests were encouraged to render
better support. This, with covering
01' shorts and reports that all the cot?
ton tendered here for delievries <>n
March contracts would ?,<? taken care
of. caused almost n complete recovery .
J'oforo the close 01" business on Th?rs- J
day. The market broke jilt.tin. how- |
ever, early yesterday, 1:: points on the
?nketlleineni in the stork market here,1
and at London causing fresh liquida?
tion. IJefore the close, howjever, the
market had recorded most of this: so;
that at the end of business Friday*;
prices were back li.gtiin to within a
few points of the Saturday's closing
fpiointidns, which were K'.ss for
March, May 1 l.OS. July 1 l.'-T. August
.i:;.T", October 12.fin. and December
12.fill, thus showing a net loss on th>:
week of but 2 to 0 points,
Feature* of the Situation.
Southern spot markets have held up
much better during the depression or
tlie past fortnight than futures, and
this is regarded as Indicating a falling
off in t In? movement of the crop In the
near future. If this should develop
it would l?e cause for less bearish
ness tit present, prices in genera! mar?
ket discussion. At the same time,
however, the yarn markets at milling
centres In Fa 11 River and New Red
ford and also a.t Philadelphia; as well
ns Clinrlotte, continue weak, owing to
the failure of the goods markets te
fcihpw anything like tlie improvement
?which had been expected to develop
Jong before this. The result tin
apparently lack of Incentives for a re?
newal of bullish activity in the con?
tract markets. This will most likely
continue beyond perhaps mod erat?
and temporary rallies until the gen?
eral business situation and outlook im?
prove sUfliclehtly to pneourage spinner?
to resume buying on a more liberal
Male. The heavy discount of 1 ::-s to
:i 1-2 cents per pound, at which the
October sind December optioiis of the
? next crop can be bought; as compared
with May "and July, does not make the
latter appear an n 111 ;n t i\e Invest?

Either the...old? urofi' months are too

Texas Liquidation of the weak, scat?
tered long Interest in the old crop
options, however, was undoubtedly
coiifplcted wit it the. break last week
1 of l.'i.Ju fo,r the May and July options.
At the si me time it is uulte likely
that the new crop options have been
heay'ly oversold. Aside froth this

sition, jiiul the fact that certain prom?

Up over ?0,000 bales of the SO.000 ten?

l March contracts yesterday, the consen?
sus of trade opinion Is that tho'-o is
little in the present situation to on
courage buying for more than moder?
ate rallies a' present;
Neu l rops Promising Outlook.
The very hlgli prices planters se?
emed for their crops of the last two
?? r> have resulted in an undoubted;
(ieterajlnat hui among most of them
lb pat more of their land under cul?
tivation in cotton this year. Tills In?
dicates that the largest acreage will
I be | it'lltod this year on record in
tin- history of the South. Sales ..f fer?
tiliser already made are the heaviest
foi years; and there is a big demand
for mules and farm implements. As
soon as tlie present cold weather mod?
erates, ploughing will be pushed rapid?
ly all through the southern half of
tlv belt in preparing the soil for enrlv
planting. This will become general
iv I thin ihe course of the next two or
three weeks.
Thes? operations will be gradually
extended to the more northerly districts
? I (lie belt, in order to get as good
and early a start as possible, In the
meantime, tlie tlrenehine rains Texas
has had during Ihe last two weeks
I have removed whatever apprehension
the tratle had felt regarding that
; .State's prospects f-- a big crop thh
year. The rainfall 'ear. ranged fro hi

creased to nearly H..>00,000 ucres In

I Indeed; it would not he surprising
if tlie acreage planted in all the obt

STILL UNDER SHADOW I
I OF ANTI-OPTION BILL!
I New Orlen its, l,a.. February
1 The cotton market this week still will
be under the shadow of the Scott bill,!
the measure now before Congress |
which proposes to do away with the
future market altogether. Not until
the end of the wee!; ami the ud.l?urn
mont of Congress will the trade know
just where it stands. For a couple 61
weeks now all fresh trading Mas been
done with the knowledge that loglslti
? tiou of ii most unsettling character had
n. chance of passing, and this
knowledge still will persist this week
: although .'i majority of traders expressi
opinion titat Congress will not past
ii bill that does away with cotton con?
ti aits, but still allows future trailing
in grain and other commodities.
Itccause of the uncertainty over theli ?
true weight statistics will develop
much mote strength this week than
they have shown this season, but it Is
doubtful if the leading bulls will at?
tempt to make use of them with Cdn?
gressinen still trying to force the pas?
sage of anti-future leu-isi.it ion. Ilow
i^v.ir, should it be seen that all chances
of passing the Scott biii was lost, the
attempt might be made to interest the
outside public in the market once morel
by an exposition of the statistical po- I
sition of the staple. Any change In I
prices from this Is liable 10 come along I
toward the last of the week when the
weekly tables orb being made up.
lh> weather over the cotton holt
promises to lie wanner this week; dur?
ing tin- early i?art in least, anil this
may lead to inure planting of seed in
the ehrllest counties of Texas. Should
the market open on rains over Sundaj

The time is fast approaching whop

I other.
This week will see the .March posi?
tion become the spot month, which
I means that outsider** will be out of it
1 and more willing than ever I'd try to
solve the problem presented l>y May

jFALSE ASSUMPTION
LEADS TO DISORDER
New York, February 2t5.-r-Thc course.
of speculation on the Slock Exchange
last werk uns dominated almost en?
tirely i.y tin- freight rnto cases. Win n ;
it became apparent Monday that no
decision front tho Supreme Court it: '?
the anti-trust cases was to be expected'
during the week, attention was coh-l
cent rated upon the forthcoming rtil-l
lugs lit the Interstate Commerce*.Com - j
mission, ami expectation that it soon
would Ite hiii.de known had the effect '
pi curtailing speculation.

stantial port ion of the increases ask?
ed for would he conceded to the rail- \
roads, and a general acceptance ?.?<
! this theory was reflected in the'
t strength which the stock market ilis
| played Up to the time that the decision
j was announced.
I This false assumption led in natural'
i fcequehCe to a period of disorder trad
j lug when the decision was made
I known. Heavy liquidation which fol
i lower! reflected more truly a species .
: of nervous' fright on the part of trader? !
i than any well-grounded belief that the
; decision Itself would seriously disturb
; the earning powers of tin- carriers as
i was shown by the market's partial r'o
i rovery as soon as the tlrst tlood of
liquidation was checked by the, ap
pen ranee of support front the most
influential sources
Mature consideration of the nrjju- I
i ments advanced by the Commerce Coiti- !
I mission, in denying the petitions of j
the transportation coinpanies. more- \
j over, helped to brine- about a mdt*o!
cheerful view of the situation ami to
1 emphasize the conclusion tha.t the de
eision "as essentially a- most optimistic
commentary on the linnhcial strength
a in! soundness of the railroads.
The facility with which American
securities arc being placed in Europe,
tii" latest case in point being the sate
of a large block of Central Pacific
bonds in Paris, would scent to offer
ample evidence that American credit
has not been affected by the freight
rate decision. The only marked weak?
ness in American securities abroad
following the announcement of tho
decision; was on the London .Stock
Exchange, and that appeared to ema?
nn te largely, if nor eriilrelvi from New
York selling.
While the effects of the decision of
necessity mtisi bo a subject of long
consider.! t ion before such adjustments
as may bo necessary on the part of
??anders have been worked out, some
immediate results are apparent
Coupled with announcements by tvio
large systems of conformity with the
ruling was the intimation that a pro?
gram of curtailment of expenses would
be adhered to. Such a courso follows
the path marked out for the railroads
by the Commerce Commission, und
similar action by others of the corpo?
rations affected may be expected as
the llrsi and most natural step toward
Una] solution of present dlillculties.
