New York Stock Exchange closed barely steady. |
New York cotton futures closed steady. |
2& B |
Following the sensational break in futures, Atlanta spot
cotton fell 1 cent a pound to 34 cents, representing a decline ‘
for the week of 235 points—sll.7s a bale, |
Local dealers state that holders are not worried over the ‘
big slump in futures, and that offerings are light, but that they
understand some Southern interests have hedged in the New
York market, |
s 9 % :
Under weight of tremendous selling orders, based on further
beneficial rains in Texas, unfavorable war news, bearish cotton
statisties for the month of March and reported weakness in spots,
future contracts broke sensationally Saturday, with values show
ing a net loss of 77 to 113 points in New York at the close. |
New Orleans market broke 87 to 90 points. From the bottom
levels the market rallied a few points, but both markets exhibited
a barely ysteady tone as the exciting session came to an end. |
The South was reported a heavy seller as hedges against actual
cotton. The West and Wall Street also were among the best sell
ers. Demand was light and attributed to few sources, |
Values at the lowest levels showed a net loss of more than 200
points from Friday’s top marks and nearly 400 points from last
week’s records, when May reached 3414 cents a pound. |
At the lowest levels Saturday May stood at 30.65, July 30.28,
October 28.79, December 28.45, January 28.37 and March 28.10
May New Orleans fell to 29.83, while July broke to 29 cents and
October to 27.55. : |
There was no resistance whatever to the decline, leading bulls:
taking profits and allowing values to slump at will, |
The week closed with the New York market 304 to 353 points
below last Saturday’s finals, which is equivalent to $15.20 to $17.65,

GRAIN NOTES. )
CHICAGO, April 13.-——~A bearish feel
ing prevails in the grain trade here and
there is an increasing disposition on the
part of operators to press the selling!
side on breaks. This, while having a|
tendency to create an oversold mnd:-]
tion from time to time, makes many of |
the bulls timid, and they do most of the |
buying in a limited way on breaks zmdl
are satisfied with good moderate profits,
One of the new arguments presented hy ‘
the bears yesterday was that cotton, |
which has heen advancing for a long|
time, has dropped sl2 per bale from re- |
cent high point, a good part of it within |
the last week They thought grains|
were due for a decline There is said |
to be more disposition to hedge, and |
corn of late, especially the corn, h\':

NEW YORK, April 13.—~There was an
other reversal in price movements on

were without significance.

Steel B yielded 1 point to 76. Marine
| preferred yielded 7% in the first few
minutes to 9214 and lesser losses were
| sustained in many other :ssues.
After the first few minutes the supply
from a speculative element was ex
hausted, and rallied were in order.
Steel common ranged around 801, and
Marine preferred around 2. Midvale,
after moving up over 1 point, to 417%,
reacted to 46, while Mexican Petroleum
moved up over 1 point to 923;. Distill
ers’ Securities continued active and, aft
