- Daily Cotton Letter
NEW YORK, March B.—~The consol
and war loan quotations ar elower and
the cotton contract market in New York
turned sharply downward in the course
of yesterday's session, with closing
prices over 20 points from the recent
high. The unfavorable news from Ver
dun and the greater chance for a war
case by submarine action, following the
decision In Congress, supplied the in
spiration for bearish nentrment and ac
tion. Fear that a mere rumor of the
sinking of a ship with Americans on
board might throw the market into
confusion, holds much support from the
market.
New York reported Liverpool a good
buyer of contracts there this morning.
Mill carltal is already discounting the
possibility of the war lasting longer
than generally belleved, and records
show a surprising activity in mill con
struction in districts of cheap labor in
and outside of this country, gpot news
is good since Monday. Over 2,000 bales
were traded In here at full quotations
and the demand continued this morning.
Interfor points llkewise reported a bet
ter demand which i 8 fully reflected in
prices. ‘
Dalals, Texas, quotes middling as
highe as this market, and says cotton
is nearlr all gone. Such conditions
must bring an added demand to our
spot market; 11,000 bales cleared yes
terday for Japan.
Heavier and general rainfall occurred‘
yvesterday in Alabama and the Atlantic,
while there was none over the western
half of the belt. ‘
Futures declined about 10 points in
the early trading on developments in.
Liverpool and New York over our holi
day and there was the usual timidity at
the outset over politics, but it soon
wore off, and the bullish spot news since
Monday, with the rumor of a further
advance being pad In the spot market
this morning stimulated some support.
As soon as any buying develops in this
market there I 8 a striking scarcity of

Offerings Diminish After Small
' Break—Firmer Spot Markets
in the South Factor.
} NEW YORK. March B.—~The cotton
market was dull and featureless at the
opening to-day. There was some small
selling by Wall Street interests and
Liverpool and spot houses bought small
amounts. The tone was steady, with
plrlces 1 to 4 points lower than Tuesday’s
close.
The market at Liverpool at the time
of the o%oninx here was 1% to 4 pointe
lower, whereas a decline of 6 to 7 points
had been expected.
The rally in Liverpool is sald to have
resulteq from a report of a further ad
vance in freight rates én account of
& rumor that the Engl!uh Government
has taken over all White Star liners.
This, however, could not be confirmed,
but a fromlnent firm is sald to have
received the news this mornln‘f.
After the call prices receded 2to 4
Rolnta from the initial range on selling
v _Liverpool and some of the recent
bulls were fair sellers. The South sold
new (;Rop options. The market lacked

decline of 2¢ in Winnipeg were bearlah‘
influences. Buying was scattered and
mainly by shorts. The market was ner
vous with an easy undertone.
Corn was 3c lower with limited buy-
Ing until the May future broke under!
76c. Then there was fair buying, but
Frlnea remained down. The weakness
n 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.
Provislons showed but slight chanxe.‘
the weakness In the grain marketl‘
being offset by the strength of the hog
market.
Graln prices were all closeq lower,
wheat losing 2 to 2%, corn % to %. and
oats 1% to 9’::. All of these grains
showed reactions and advaaces from
the lowest levels. The Government crop
reported on wheat, which came in afier
the board closed, was construed as
bearish,
