two exceptions exceed the former
high record mark

deals against 645,000,000 feet and
48.000,000 pounds of 'eaf tobacco
against 37,000,000 pounds
The only cases in which the im
ports for the corresponding period »*f
any previous year exceeded the im
ports for nine months ended March
’his year were when the imports of
hides and skins amounted to 4X.000.000
pounds in 1910. ns against 463,000,000
pounds for this year and when in

Recent Buyers Liquidate on News
of Good Rains and Bearish
Weekly Weather Report.
NEW YORK, May 13 Firm rabies,
'* >11 pled with bullish weather reports,
caused an upturn <»f from 3 to 4 points
at the opening of the cotton market to
day After the rail, however, traders
i Hold and in < onsequence of the orders,
most of which came from profit-takings,
the list dropped several point*.
Sentiment was mixed.
The* early strength in the market was
attributed to short covering by Wall
Street operators This buying was
bagecI upon Hie failure of lhe map to
show rains. The official weather map
showed a few rain* in Georgia, the other
Atlantic* and Alabama and much lower
temperatures in North Carolina. This
caused rather free offerings from the
ring and selling by recent buyers, which
was said to be profit-taking. Prices
dropped 3 to 6 points from the opening
range, with the exception of May, which
held steady at the opening quotation.
It is said those who covered short
lines during the past few days will put
out these short lines again if there are
in i h<- ECastein belt within the
next twenty-four hours. The bear* ex-
pics* the belief that the dry May makes
it apparent that the crop will have a
j good start and they are not inclined to
put much confident e Iri the talk of dam
age of the excessive dry weather.
The weekly weather report issued at
noon was construed as bearish, with the
exemption of Georgia which shows the
larf <»f moisture Texas shows the ef
fect of cold nights, but not seriously.
During the afternoon session the mar
ket was under* selling pressure,
based upon the weather report and May
dropped 6 points, July 7, October 8, De
cember 9 and January 7 points from the
initial level. The buying was light and
scattered.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net advance of 5 to 7
points from the final quotations of Mon
day.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
N E VV O R LE A NS, May 13 Europe
apparently was treated to bad crop news
which led to a strong Liverpool, with
futures 3 to 4 points better than due.
Political news is worse, reporting that
almost a state of war exists between
Greece and Bulgaria, with actual fight
ing. the Bulgarians a Hacking Greek
posts anti wounded arriving at SaJoniki.
Correspondence from Liverpool shows
bearish views as to Hie ultimate course
of prices. Imp opinion is in fnvor of
waiting around 6 pence for a while un
it more is known about the crop de
velopment. The strength of July in
New York is still pulling the New Or
leans market up, but lack of confidence
; shown by restricted support Current
damage reports are regarded as acces
sory to professional attempts *1 the
ort Interest ami faith In the establish
ed record of the benefits of a dry May
idi predominates.
The greater part of Alabama has had
enough rainfall to start the replant, ami
official records show that sufficient
showers fell over a considerable terri
tory of Georgia. The Savannah dis-
i i shows seven stations with an av
erage of half-inch over night.
The contract market Is dull but steady
around 11.18 for October.
