DAILY COTTON LETTER
New Orleans, April 12.—The periodical
call for cottou by the Liverpool mills Is
not yet over. Thej again took 16,000 bales
from their
stock in Liverpool to-
turee about unchanged. These large epot
•ales In the English market stimulate bull
ish confidence on our side, which was fur
ther encouraged today by an unfavorable
turfl In the weather outlook. Buying was
more general and steady In our market this
morning, prices advanced some 7 points.
A well defined cold wave Is pushing down
into the licit, ami complaints of damage
by the cold weather, which so far. was
ronflued to the Eastern states, may also be
heard next week from the central states.
As was to be ei|>ected. New York longs
gladly availed themselves of this bug to li
quidate some more. They have Im-cii wait
lug for n long time for an opportunity like
this. But for this selling, the advance
might have gone further, ns sentiment Is
beginning to get aroused over the persis
tent cold weather. Today’s bullish weather,
however, concerns only the new crop posi

NOTES ON GRAIN.
Pointers on Provisions.
The situation I
obi crop Is uot bullish and to open,
old crop months Is to court danger, which
can lie avoided by giving new crops the
deserved preference. The weekly state
ment giving the movemeut nt lending In
terior towns shows a decided drop In re
ceipts. The spot market Is steady, some
business doing. Medium aud better grndea
are harder to buy.
New York. April 12.-J. H. Bache A Co.:
Cables were at about n parity with our.
New York closing, but the good showing
of spot markets abroad cs<Vised a favor
able Influence on our opening. Kpots were
strong lu Liverpool, with fairly good sales.
There was some short covering In this mar
ket on the |Mtrt of pit traders and buying on
the part of the South. Reports were re
ceived from the eastern part of the belt
of some damage to the plant which is
above ground. One of the features of the
early session was the persistent selling of
Oetober and January by brokers believed
to l,e nctiiig for the bull crowd. The ft
ton market does not seem to give nuy In
dications of getting out of the rut. Not
withstanding the rntivoly firm spot
markets, prices did not advance, gt the
same time more or less fnvorabb* new crop
news does uot seem to eucohrage much
selling.

Chicago, April 12.—Bartlett, Frasier A
Carrington: The newe wjb are receiving
from tho Southwest shows that the lu-
sect pest Is steadily moving northward,
Increasing lu numbers ae they go, and tear
ing very little vegetation behind them, lu
Oklahoma they have flourished In ralu and
sunshine with temperatures ranging from
32 to 92, and are apparently as numerous
today lu southern Kansas nml Missouri as
they were three weeks ago In Oklahoma.
The drought aids their progress by weaken
ing tho plant, but It Is very doubtful if
rams at this time would have any perma
nent effect ou stopping their ravages.
Without some Immediate radical ehauge,
the southwesteru Wheat crop seeine serious
ly threatened.
The Chicago Record-Herald: Finley Bar-
»U’s crop expert gives the following detail
ed report from Caldwell, Kaus.: "1 con-
aider the crop outlook very serious. The
bugs are In every field and becoming more
numerous each day. The fields of late
wheat, which comprise about 20 or 25 per
cent of the entire wheat crop, In my Judg-
all dead, and the bugs are in cluate
•u the leaves, sucking the life out of the
dant. The fields near South lluven, Kuus.,
.jegln to show the bare dead spots, the
same as the fields In central Oklahoma did
when I first arrived there. Wheu I wus
here ou March 20 the bug had not made
Its appearauce. On March 26, there were
bugs in every field, but could not notice
any damage, and now the fields are sickly
und yellow. If they continue at the pres
ent rote I enti uot see any ho,.e for the
small wheat and oats. And I do uot see
anything to prevent their continuing to
destroy the wheat. The fields of soft wheat
that are big and rank, I do not look for
the bug to damage to any great extent,
although the hugs are plentiful In those
same fields, but there Is so much foliage
to destroy that I think tho plant will out
grow the bug. The farther south and
west I go the dryer the field* lire, and I
think a goot* heavy rain would do a great
deal toward delaying the bug. It certain-
Iv would give the wheat more vitality to
withstand the ling." , 4

Canadian Pacific held between 174 nnd
178; Baltimore nnd Ohio 100 nnd 102! Great
Northern preferred Is meeting some sup

news may cause some buying of United
States Rubber. On further recessions Mis
souri Pacific ought to be bought again.
Town Topics: The professional ehnrneter
of the market was again demonstrated by
the absolute lack of effect of many fnVm*
ble developments. The sentiment Is more
bearish than otherwise, but this Is usually
the ease when the situation seems to be
hopeless. While many contend the present
dividend rates on railroad nnd Industrial se
curities can not be maintained. It will be
well to remember that conditions today
are quite the reverse of what they were
six months ago, with stocks many points
higher nnd money lu very poor supply.
We think the whole situation Is depend
ent on money conditions, nlthough uncer
tainty ns to the final winter wheat yield
inny be used from time to time ns a on
for selling.
We would, however, take advantage of
all bear drives thnt may he made nt the
mnrket to buy the standard railroad Issues
and n few of the higher class Industrials,
such ns Sugnr nnd General Electric.
Today’s market promises to be somewhat
unsettled In the Initial dealings, but wn
look for higher prices before the close nnd
thtnk good stocks can be bought for. a
turn.
