TilF. ATLANTA GEORGIAN’ AM) NEWS. MONDAY. APRIL 21. 1917!.
Breaking of Mississippi Levee
Causes Short Covering Move
ment in Closing Hour.
NEW YORK, April 2L. -Liquidation
wa* leas in evidence at the opening of
ihe cotton market to-day and first prices
vVe re 1 point higher to 3 points off
from Saturday’s final. May and duly
.igain reversed positions and steadied
the market This brought out a wave
• -*h<*rt covering. Early loss was quick-
1\ retrieved and the list showed a
-ready undertone.
There was a great deal of July on
,111d at the outset, around 11.60. Con-
nued buying around this level gave
,h mv.rket an advancing tendency, re-
.ulting in May rallying to 11.66. July
ivanned 9 points to 11.69. The remote
ptJons were relatively Ann and gained
m 7 points from tne opening range.
The buying was in the fare of excel-
.•nt crop advices and favorable weather
,-■• elopments over Sunday. Rut the
.irge spot houses played for a reaction
. n the theory that there has been noth-
ig but bearish news up to this time and
was time to look for something on
the contrary.
During the forenoon Wall Street was
against the tnarket and liquidated heav
ily. Liverpool sold and also tire ring
rowd. while Memphis was reported a
buyer. _
Later May showed weakness, which
brought out considerable selling from
many prominent sources. This carried
the entire list back to the initial level.
The May option was under heavy sell
ing pressure during the late forenoon
and showed further recession of 6 points
■4m the opening. The weakness in May
- causing hesitation on the part of
those inclined to the bull side and later
positions held steady around the open
ing prices.
Brokers who were closely identified
with the spot interests were moderate
buyers throughout the day, but senti
ment was against the market and prices
tailed to bulge from the start. There
was nothing to create a scare among
shorts.
Liverpool is said to have sold fully
1 ,000 bales here to-day.
Price movement during the afternoon
session was practically unchanged
: lie opening, except May, which sus
tained the sharp decline.
\ telegram received from Greenville,
Miss., stating that a levee had broken
it Glen Allan, Miss., 25 miles below on
.he Mississippi side, checked the selling
> a great extent, resulting in May re
gaining the early loss. Shorts were
active buyers, causing the market to
lose very steady wit it prices at a net
advance of 4 to 7 points from the clos-
ing quotations of Saturday.
COTTON.
HAYWARD &. CLARK S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, April 21. There
were no developments of particular in
fluence on the market over .Sunday,
Liverpool was weaker than due by 2
points and spots 5 points lower.
After opening u few points lower, the
market rallied promptly to 12.11 for
July ami to 11.37 for October and was
remarkably well supported, probably in
consequence of New York news that
the bullish spot interests were absorbing
all offerings of July, suggesting the idea
that strong people are buying af this
level.
Spots are not encouraging. Demand
is small and spot quotations at leading
interior markets on Saturday afternoon
showed easiness.

! 500,000 an-: ti.OOO.OOu boxes. It Is stated
1 that California’s production amounted
