indstinct print age not yet planted, has led 1 to the creation of'an eriormous short Interest at a time when the supplies of actual cotton throughout the world are rap idly diminishing. I think it. quite likely that the final glnners’ report of tomorrow will show more than 10,- 600,000 hales, exclusive of llnters. In clusive of llnters the total ought to be around .10,750,000. Such a supply, after allowing for the proportion of it marketed prior to the first of Septem ber, and Included In last year’s com mercial crop, Is not excessive, especi ally as spinners’ takings are continu ing on a somewhat larger scale than 1 had .anticipated when the market waB 2 cents per pound higher. The pros pect is that, unless a sharp advance in the market comes, which will check trade buying to some extent, we sh.ould go to the end of the summer months with stocks of cotton throughout the world which will not be burdensome and a standard of consumption will have been established that will de mand a crop of 12,000,000 next year. Under these circumstances I would advise spinners and others In need of cotton during the next three or four months to take advantage of the pres ent opportunity for securing that sup ply. , THEODORE H.

By wire to Clark & Co. New York, March 19.—The move ment of cotton from first hands and the spinners furnishes evidence of the normal condition of the market and the inclination of producer and con sumer to accept the conservative es timate of the true value of raw cotton. There is no change in goods and the demand for deliveries based upon new crop prices for raw is daily increasing. With September-October basis but three-quarters of a cent per pound cheaper than July, and September, October, November deliveries of sheet ings and coarse goods the same as im mediate, it looks as though the early receipts of new cotton will find a ready market. The undertone of the local market Is firm and probably would have ad vanced further before noon, had not d the traders suspected that a certain professed bull wap unloading on them. . Be this as it may, the underlying conditions are for the maintenance of good prices and until we are a long way toward securing a new crop of twelve and a half million bales mini mum. C. D. FREEMAN & CO. THEODORE H. PRICE ON COTTON. New York, March 19.—Theodore H. Price is out in the following circular: In reply to numerous inquiries ns to ray opinion on cotton received since my return to New York this morning, I would say that I see no reason to apprehend any immediate decline in the cotton market, buf am rather dis posed to look for an advance. My ob servations when in the South, and my interviews with many people from many sections convinced mo that the tendency to sell the market short up on the theory of an enormous acre- Weather throughout the belt, with the exception of Texas, was fierce, Rains from, six inches down were re ported. It was rumored that Price would is sue a bullish circular today. We opened 10 up with a fair demand for the spring and summer positions. The fall and winter months were not in demand. Port receipts were .only against 42,000 last year. ^ 13,000, The census department will issue its final report on ginning at 1 p. m., our time. The report will not include llnters.

Liverpool was very active all day, and the close was firm at an advance of 4 points. - 1 \ Support from spinners is practically the market’s only hope, as the general public will not "bull” the market again on this crop.
