Many Items Contribute to Setback
in Market in Spite of the
Huge Exports.
MEMPHIE Feb 17 Uppermonst in
the minds of the cotton irade during
the past week has heen the matier of
A possibility of the staple being de
cliared contraband and of the menace
to shipments to the countries at war
following the offort of Germany 1o
blockade British and French ports
Whether or not the decline in prices
was altogether justified by what real
y happened is noi to be determ ned
but there la no doubt of its #fMect on
speculative sentiment. The fact that
exports had reached and passed &
0000006 bales, while more than an
other million had already been bought
for export, appeared to be lost »ight
of and the trade was concerned over
the posstbility of a restriction of fu.
ture demand for the same direction
Traders acted as If the holders in
the belt would be unable to wailt for
buvers to reappear, despite the mdJ
that the South has already sold 12.-
100,000 or more bales of its crop, and
2t prices much better than thought
vhen the season opened Weakness
n the stock market and grains re-
Aecting concern over the foreign st |
ation helped the decline along l
Advance marine insurance risks and
s demoralized foreign exchange mar
t added to other troubles and facll
tated the sethack to prices some
reselling was reported by exporters,
bt confirmation for this was lacking
und it was generally discredited by
the best posted people
Another cause of Jlower prices in
the speculative markets was the cut
ting off of the Liverpool market as a
medium of selling hedges, this due to
the new Poderal law putting & pro
hibitive tax on all operations not
meeting the requirements of the act
That resulted in the domestic mar
keis having to take almost the entire
load
Talk of less acreage reduction also
encouraged bearish operation For
some time there has been an idea that
reduction would be moderate, and re
cent developments indicate that more
people have been disposed to accept
sach views, However, the trade has
been busy getting all the information
possible to give a line on intentions as
1o acreage. The unexpectedly large
exports and other things pointing to
consumption surpassing all early cal
culations have, no doubt, had their
offect on plans as to acreage and the
usual bearish effort to discredit the
ntentions of the farmers to plant
less cotton has been energetically
made
Spots have been rather quiet, but
no pressure to sell has been noted in
any direction. Bome decline in quo
wations has taken place, but offers
have been moderate. Naturally the
spinners have been ready to stand
hack and see if prices wou{d pot worly
lower, rlm’l“( those In this coun
try, whose buying has not kept pace
with that of the foreigner. Trade
condition®have continued to improve
slowly and cotton is reported to be
#oing intg new directions because of
ite «hedPhess and new demands.

Wilson be able to talk away the mines?
If he can, cotton will advance; if it, it
must decline. That ‘s tue opinion of
