ket was dues to open 6@B points higher.
Advices from good trade market report
continuance of large business.

l That the KEnglish trade fears cotton
famine prices in the event of an early
{ conclusion of ‘peace is indicated by an
extract from a letter 16 The Financial
Chronicle from an English correspond
ent. He says: "It is thought that with
a 4 good carry-over from last year, Blp
plies may be sufficient to meet our re-
Ktricted requirements under war condi-l
tions, On the other hand, if peace
comes in the nea¥ future and (jerman.\'|
makes a 4 bold bid to replenish her de- |
pleted stocks and set her factories !ull,\"
going again, it is feared that prices may
go to famine heights.”
This correspondence also tends to
show that English spinning require
ments of cotton have been reduced by
the war instead of increased as some
statistics have figured.
- .
Japan has ordered 250,000 cotton spin
dles in England, according to cabled ad
vices from Manchester. These advices
report that there has been little change
in the textlle situation during the past
week. Home trade is the chief support |
of the market., Indla is buyln! slowly, |
China is developing slowly., Orders from |
the United States and South Americu]
are moderate,

Owing 1o unreasonable F‘ebruaryt
weather—too much rain and cold—pre
parations for the new crop are back
ward, write Well Brothers, of Montgom
ery, Ala.,, and on the whole the spring
promises to be a late one. Of the cot
ton acreage outlook they say: “The
rospective area to be planted in cotton
ru still uncertain, but the decline in the
rice of cotton during the last month
g‘ll had the effect of deterring farmers |
from increasing their a(‘r“ge. In the
boll weevil section, they ave been
warned to nlant a smaller quantity, but
earlier variety of cotton and work it
thoroughly, So, we feel that all prog
nostications at .this time as to increase
or decrease of acreage are mere conjec
tures, and will remain theories umil]
facts replace them, which will be prob
ably in May. So many things occur ‘m‘
these days to influence the cotton situ- |
ation, and, as the farmer is keeping |
abreast of the news pertaining to prices |
and what is Influencing them, he is like- |
ly to change his acreage In cotton ac- |
cording to his idea of the probable value |
of the next crop. He knows that the
war {8 on, The past two years' varia
tions in conditions affecting cotton have
made the farmer more of a husiness
man, who reckons with facts and figures
as he has never done before.'’ ‘

Offerings Diminish After Small
Break—Renewed General Buy
-ing Steadies Market,
NEW YORK, March 8-—The cotton
market wag dull and featureless at the
opening to-day, There was some small
selling by Wall Street interests and
Lidverpool and spot houses bought small
amounts. The tone was steady, with
prices 1 10 4 points lower than Tuesday's
close,
The market at, Liverpool at the time
of the opening here was 11 to 4 points
lower, wherecas a decline of 6 to 7 points
had been expected,
The rally in Liverpool is sald to have
resulted from a report of a further ad
vance In freight rates on account of
a rumor that the FEuglish Government
has taken over all White Star liners.
This, however, could not he confirmed,
but a prominent firm is said to have
received the news this morning,
After the call prices rl'('edag 2 to 4
points from the initial range on selling
by Liverpool and some of the recent
bulls were fair sellers. The South sold
new crop options. The market lacked
support,
The offerings were not heavy, how
ever, and after prices eased off, the
market gteadled on covering, a stead
jer tone in New Orleans, some I.iver
pool and local buying. Under stimulus
of this buying, prices rallled to a net
gain of 32 to 5 points. The top levels
were well sustained throughout the
forenoon.

Bearish Influences—CormOff
on Limited Buying.
CHICAGO, March 8.--Wheat opened
% to 7%c lower to-day on general sell-
Ing by commission houses and local
| traders. The break in Liverpool and a
decline of 2¢ in Winnipeg were bearish
influences. Buying was scattered and
| mainly by shorts. The, market was ner
vous with an easy undertone
Corn was %ec lower with limited buy
ing until the May future broke under
| 75¢. Then there was fair buying, but
||vr|vm remained down. The weakness
in the corn market abroad and the break
in wheat -combined with favorable
weather were depressing influences.
Oats opened %c lower on account of
the weakness in the other grains. Trade
| was light.
Provisions showed but slight change,
the weakness in the grain markets
being offset by the strength of the hog

The Herald says: “The Government
report on farm reserves to he given out
to-day is expected to be bearish. A bull
ish report on merchantable corn is look
ed for. A count of the commission
houses last night showed four bulls and
six bears on wheat, flve bulls and two
bears on corn and a standoff on oats.
“Traders said the action of all mar
kets yesterday showed the lack of short
interest and indifference on the part of
the export trade. Most of the commis
sion houses advising a trading position,
while Iprofusionnls in the main believe
in selling all grains on sharp bulges.
“Corn traders are mixed in thelr,
views. Bulls believe that Europe has
taken and consumed over 155,000,000
bushels from Argentina so far this crop
vear, that the export demand for our
grain must come sooner or later, owing
to the short crop south of the Equator.l
On the other hand bears call attention
to the rapid accumulaion in stxks in
this country, whereas last yea they
commenced to decrease. They say as
long as congestion exists at the sea
board stocks will continue to pile up.”

lT‘rade Prepared for Much Dam
age by Winter-Killing
. and Insects.
CHICAGO, March B.——Crop reports to
come forward from this time on will
have more or less to do with changes
in wheat values.
In many sections of the country send
ing unfavorable reports there is now a
Snow covering, and the likelihood is
Ithere will be a cessation of reports of
deterioration for the time being.
Unfavorable reports, however, will
come later, and they will come in large
[qunntlties and are likely to be pro
nounced in character.
The wheat trade on the whole seems
to be prepared for further reports of
bad damage from winter killing, as well
as from insects, and the more shrewd
and conservative operators in wheat will
not be caught without a goodly line of
that grain on phand.
The Ju:y future will continue to he
‘thes favcrite among the bull operators,
as crop Icsres will be rcflected in that
month more than in May.
It is believed four of the larger oper
ators in the Chicago wheat marxet are
goodly holders of the July wheat futrue
here. Their lines have been accumu
lated quletly so as not to attract an
army of followers and be obliged to car
ry them upward on any advances.
One feature of the wheat market last
week was the large number of un
favorable crop reports accompanied by
buying orders. As soon as there is
growing weather in the Nofthern dis
tricts and the crop losses appear there
will be a largely increased number of
buying orders from the country, and
those on the bear side of the market
doubtless will be obliged to take a
back seat for the time being.
There is & large army of bears in the
wheat market at Chicago, and when
these speculators are considered there
are large number of them in the other
and small centers of the United States.
They have had a short campaign of
success, and Instead of switching to the
bull side they continue to put out short
lines on all hard spots.
There is no export business worthy
of mention in the corn trade, and the
domestic demand being light the situa
tion is against any advance in values.
Primary receipts continue to run much
more than last year, the total for last
week being 6,200,000 bushels, compared
with 2,597,000 bushels last year. The
estimates on farm reserves maw be called

bearieh, not only as to the amount held,
but also as to the manner it will be
aisposeq of.
There are big farm reserves of oats,
not only in this country, but in Can
ada, and these conditions are more than
likely to tell on values later.
Provisions are now believed to be in
a strong position, as the buying of cash
products has been on a large scale on
foreign shipping account. Hogs at the
yards have held firmly, and some be
lieve the raw material is to see a fur
ther price upturn, which means higher
prices for the manufactured articte.
