Shanghai Cotton Market, Mr. A. B. Rosenfeld's Cotton Market Report for the week end- ing 11th March 1915 is as follows: -Chias Cotion-The Cotton 'market during the past week has shown but little animation aside. of occasional spurts of activity, with the general tendency "Steady" "by reason of short commitmente from the interiör . marts. Local Mills are for the present abiding their time in view of the uncertainty prevail- ing in consequence of which they have adopted the hand to month policy, whilst the Farmere on the other hand find it preferable 10. market their Cotton gradually in crder to meet their incidental ex- penses. This is likely to prevent the any serious decline, as Farmers are undoubtedly finar- cially able to hold, but I think it will also prevent any advance of consequence considering the st titade assumed by the Mills. Under the circumstances, there- fore, the outlook hinges on the fature probabilities of the politic al situation, and it would be hazardous on my part to try and predict the trend of the market before the actual outcome, fully warranta me to do so.
