It was argued that during a full month of active covering the short interest must have been much reduced and that a scattering long interest had accumulated on ttie udvance. Thie rea soning combined with the appearance of better weather south, nervousness over the Mexican situation, anti withdrawal of the near-month support which has been so active before the holidays, en couraged considerable selling, but at a break of about 50 points on May and of 20 to 30 points on later months offerings became smaller, while there also seemed to be renewed demand from recent prominent buyers. Trading, however, was less active on the rally toward tlie end of the week, and talk around the ring suggested a more or less unsettled sentiment, with many traders expressing determination to operate conservatively pending freslt developments tri the spot situation or a nearer view of the new crop start. The return of a little cotton here from Liver pool has been accompanied by rumors of further sgXill shipments from that source, and some cotton has also been arriving here from the South. It 1b said, too that domestic yarn stocks are ac cumulating and there has been talk of slued time In that connection. On the other hand the Inspection bu reau Is still reported to be rejecting a large proportion of the cotton received here Manchester reports have indicated continued activity at that point; the sta tistical position has strengthened owing to continued full spinners takings; that census report showed domestic mill con sumption for the month of March well up to lhe recent high average and' southern advances hate Indicated little or no change In the Interior spot mar y,.\ h These conflicting features have doubtless contributed to the uncertainty expressed as to the merits of the oilier crop situation at the higher level, while 0„> resumption of the official dally and weekly weather reports for the season has aiso tended to turn trade attention In'new eropjnonths whleh have shown relatively Increased activity and have seamed m attract some commission house buying on declines.
