Many Items Contribute to Setback
. . .
in Market in Spite of the
Huge Exports.
MEMPHRIR, Peb 37 —Uppermost in
the minda of the cotten trads during
the past week has beon the matier of
s pomibility of the staple being de
clared comtraband and of the menace
to shipments to the countries at war
following the effort of Germany o
plockade British and French ports
Whether or not the decline in prices
was altogether jJustified by what real
iy bappened is not to be determined
but there is noe doubt of ita effect on
speculative sentiment The fact that
exports had reached and passed |
9000680 bales. while more than an
other million had already been bought
for sxport, appeared 1o be ot sight
of and the trade was conoerned over
the possibility of a restriction of fu
tgre demand for the same direction
Traders acted as if the holders in
the belt would be unable to walt for
Layers to reappear, despite the fact
that the Bouth has already sold 123, |
#OO,OOO or more bales of its crop, and
&t prices much belter than thought
when the season opened Wrnhnrml
in the stock market and grains re- |
flecting concern over the foreign sit- |
uation helped the decliine along '
Advance marine insurance risks and ’
s demoralized foreign exchange mar- |
ket added to other troubles and facll ‘
itated the sethack to prices. Some
reseiling was reported by sxporters,
but confirmation for this was lacking
and It was generally discredited h;f
the best posted people
Another cause of lower prices in
the speculative markets was the cut
ting off of the Liverpool marketl as a
medium of selling hedges, this due to |
the new Federal law putting & pro
hibitive tax on all operations not
meeting the requirements of the act
That résuited in the domestic mar
kets having to take almost the entire
load,
Talk of less acreage reduction also
sncouraged bearish operation. Vor
some time there has been an idea that
reduction would be moderate, and re.
cent developmenty indicate that more
people have been disposed to accept
such 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 thelir
effect on plans as to acreage and the
usual bearish effort to diseredit the
intentions 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. Some decline in quo
tations has taken place, but offers
have been moderate. Naturally the
spinners have been ready to stand
back and see if prices would not work
lower, npodul‘y those in this coun
try, whose buying has not kept pace
with that of the foreigner. Trade
conditions have continued to improve
slowly and ootton is reported to be
going into new directions because of
ite cheapness and new demands.

NEW YORK, keb. 27.—The cotton
market was lower to-day on further
fear of cotton being put on the contra
band list, together with small trade.

New Orleans was apparently the best
roner. with the South buying and sell
s- . .
“Likely to see a sagging market,"”
says Black.

Logan & Bryan say: ‘“The market is
very likely to reflect from time to time
the trend of events in lurope, which
will be the principal influence govern
ing the gourse o: vs.lun.l." |
M. D. Burnley, who is traveling in
the South for E. F, Hutton & Co. wired
that firm from Atlanta yesterday: "‘De
elded reduction scren{e. Enormous de
crease fertilizer absolutely certain.
Practically no tu-mr}ork done. Farmers
indifferent. Remainder of crop in strong
hands. Will be hel? fO.!' higher prices.
Journal of Commerce says: ‘“‘Man
chester trade is very dull. It was ru
mored that exporters in some cases
were try&ni to re-sell cotton. Some
holders in the Atlantic States were said
to be oflarln§ considerably under basis
of futures, ew Orleans reported some
hedge selling. Market is still waiting
with eves strained toward Kurope,
merely marking time pending orders to
advance or retreat. Will President
Wilson be able to talk away the mines?
If he can, cotton will advance; if it, it
must décline. That is the opinion of
