New York Stock Exchange closed barely steady.
New York cotton futures closed steady.
. 8 &
Following the sensational break in futures, Atlanta spot
cotton fell 1 cent a pound to 34 cents, representing & 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 l
understand some Southern interests have hedged in the New
York market. ‘
¥¥ % |
Under weight of tremendous selling orders, based on further
beneficial rains in Texas, unfavorable war news, hearish 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 eclose.
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 341% cents a pound. l
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
a bale. 4 1

' GRAIN NOTES. |
| CHICAGO, Aprii 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
iside on breaks. This, while having a
tendency to create an oversold condi
tion from time to time, makes many of
ltha bulls timid. and they do most of the
{buying In a limited way on breaks and
are satisfled with good moderate profits,
,()ne of the new arguments presented hy
the bears yesterday was that cotton,
lwhich has been advancinfi for a long
time, has dropped sl2 per bale from re

a decree in favor of the company. Other negotiations with Gov
ernments down the coast are being eoncluded.
At the recent annual meeting of the company T. DeWitt Cuy
ler, Howard Elliott, Julius Kruttschnitt and Charles B. Seger were
