NEW YORK, April 11th The probability of a debatent supply of cotton during the summer was a leading market factor during the week, heing reflected in violent advances în bid crop positions, chiefly May contracts South eru spot markets have reported an active demand for spot cotton and there wore rumours of large lines having-teen-sold for export, one such being to the effect that Japanese interests had bought up all the cotton remaining in the hands of the Mississippi Co-operative Association The apture was necompanied by a decided charge in dry-gooda circles, with less talk of slow demand and curtailmont and ad- vancing prices in some lines, although on the whole, there was, at the close of the werk, considerable, hesitancy in accept ing the improvement in futures is per manent, regarding it as speculative to considerable extent. In the sonatch of the various markets for spot cotton, attention has become centered at New York where a stock of about 120,000 bales of certion Seated cotton now exists, and it is be lieved there is very little room for doubt of the BATCHTAND that a considerable amount of this will shortly begin to move out, mainly for ex- port. The amount thus involved is about 15,000 bales for the week, with small pos sibility of replenishment. Commission houses take the view that the wholesaler and retailer, bave remained out of the market to the full limit, forcing the mills

doing so, retailers "now, find themselves where they must replenish or have little' to sell Oan house points out that "ect ton at 30 and 91e does not work into gools at a break-even price for spinners at the rate obtainable for goods, but the fact remains nevertheless that there is a demand for cotton and to all appearances it is not satisfied, and may not be satis fed until the present available supplies. in the South are swallowed up by the trada. From mill contres it is said mills cannot afford to make forward contracts requiring old crop cotton, nor can they increase their operations much beyond the cotton actually owned by reason of the limited supplies and the diffenity of securing the particular kinds desired.

NEW CROP, CONDITIONS, Meantime interest in new crop condi- tions has grown materially, as reflicted in increating speculative operations in new crop deliveries. While backward to some extent, owing to rains and cost weather, new crop preparations are not sufficiently retarded to cause alarm. It is believed that in view of the recent strength of the market, acreage will be slightly larger than last year. Asserting - that anch of last year's shortage wat dus to unfavourable weather, leurs point det that even with the weevil at the same efficicney as last year, we could easily have a larger production from the coming crop than a year ago, with propitious weather. A local trade paper, from re plies received to inquiries regarding the probable serrage this spring, estimates an increase of about 085,000 acres over last year Texas heads the list of states with 10,000 increase: Much tobacco will be planted in Southern Georgia and bids fair to become quite popular with farriers who world this necessarily plant less cotton. Efforts are being unde hy various organizations to encourage such diversification... Fertilizer: yales for the eight months ending March 31st, as com piled by Secretary Hester from the off- eint reports of Agricultural Bureaus m Georgil, South Carolina, Alabama, Mis- sissippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Tenucasse have aggregated 2,281,976 tona. against 2,7,512 the same time last year, 1,45,210 in 1922 and 1,121 in 1921.

A member of the Cotton Exubango here, who has just returned from Texas, days Texans are hoping for and will work for a large erop. They say other states can not produce much cotton this year and they have visions of great wealth for Texas if the weather hehis then out. bi ruillins for Texas-is their slogao. Cum try people say the winterhus, been long. cold and with plenty of Funin, which, augurs well for the crop.

Comment on the fiwes, report here is to the effect that it points the way to a stranger demand from Gerinary for American cotton, which may resalt in higher prices, for it is known that some of the inter German manufacturers have hoca for sonic time trying to arrange credits with which to purchase farger quantities of "rotton in this country than have been available to them in this past

The week under review has been une of "the diffest which has been experienced for a very long time, and the continged rain has served to add to the lassitude of trodo generally. In addition to the u seasonable weather the dealers attribute the inactivity of the market to the kin situation on the Railways, which is still. acute in far is the merchants, relmé to pay the new rates and the authorities, refuse to modify thro, un interesting ex- ample of China's complete inability to carry cat ber; Treaty - obligation", to abolishlikire altogether as a priaz, con- dition to raising the important duties by X! per cent, though she persistently call upon the Powers to grant her this turtax without even attempting to carry out her side of the bargain, g

At the indoet, the outlook for the spring crops is not good as the rain Iran undoubtedly dazinged the wheat and is likely to effect the silk production mate? rially while it has also deizved the plant. ing of cotton.
