"The People With the Goods."
FARMERS HOLD COTION
INSTEAD OF THE MONEY
PRODUCT IS SOLD WHEREVER
OWNER NEEDS A LITTLE CASH.
Some Seed Is Being Planted, but Most
of People Are Waiting for a
Change In Weather
Conditions.
Buying 111 local cotton is rather dull at
this season, although the farnierB in the
surrounding territory have stored away
a considerable lot of last season's crop.
Of course the bulk of the crop has been
sold, but there are the small farmers
who hold and watt for better prices. In
fact, they regard their cotton as a bank.
They know that it Is as good as gold, for
tliey realize that the price will not recede
very much, and they live in the hope
that 11 may get better. Whenever they
feel the need of a Utile money, they go
to their bank of cotton, sell a bit of it
and hold the rest In reserve for a rainy
cluy. As a consequence, the cotton that is
bought by local dealers is in small quan-
tities and no large movement 1b expected
before the coming season's crop is on
the 'way. Local dealers are paying 8%
cents per pound.
Some cotton is being planted, but most
of the fanners are waiting for better
weather. Hoots of the cotton plant seek
deep for moisture, and there is little
doubt but what the territory about San
Antonio will make an average yield.
With the advent of new onions and
radishes In the wholesale market comes
rhubarb from California and tomatoes
from Florida. Tomatoes have been re-
ceived In express shipments, but yester-
day one of tiie firms received a car load
lot. There is a slight advance on this
vegetable. The first of the rhubarb Is
selling a little high, the price being 10
cents a pound, but it is thought it will
drop considerably before the entd of
next week.
Among other car load shipments re-
ceived yesterday were bananas, Jonathan
and winesap apples, oranges and Colora-
do potatoes.
Wholesalers report the last week as a
very prosperous one; that sales have been
good and that collections have been bet-
ter than for some time. All of them are
stocked for the beginning of the week
and the dealers feel confident that the
sales will overtop the record of last week.

QUANTITY OF LINTERS
RESULTS IN ADVANCE
ESTIMATE PLACES THESE AT 334,-
970, THE LARGEST ON RECORD.
Local Traders Are Heavy Sellers on
the Bulge, After Which tha
Prices Ease Off Again.
Receipts.
NEW YORK, March 20.—Tho cotton
market opened steady, unchanged to an
advance of 2 points, which was hardly
a full response to the higher cables, ow-
ing to a bearish view of tho first section
of tiie census figures, showing a crop of
13,408,841 bales, including lintel's.
When it was found that the linters
amounted to 334,970 bales, the largest on
record, thus reducing the crop of cotton
to 13,036,000 bales, compared with the
Government's estimate o£ 12,920,000 bales,
the market worked up to a net advance
of 2 to 4 points, but local traders wero
heavy sellers on the bulge, demand not
seeming to bo broadening and later In
the morning tho market eased off uga'.n
to 1 to 3 points. Weak end figures weru
rather bullish and further rains wero
reported In the Eastern belt. The market
closed easy.
Receipts at the ports today, 16.014 bales,
against 10,651 last week and 10,960 last
year. For the week, 90,000 hales, against
95,488 last, week and 93,381 last year. To-
day's receipts at New Orleans, 1408 bales,
•against 2304 last year, and at Houston,
3027. against 2427 last year.
Futures opened steady and closed easy.

ton: Spots quipt. Middling. 9%c. I
New Orleans.
Cot-
Sales,
UOo bales on the spot and 9j0 to arrive.
Futures opened steady at an advance
of irn3 points in spite of a larger ginning
report from the Census Bureau than was
expec tod. The reason for tho advance
around the first call seemed to be that
shorts were overanxious to take profits
and on very little offering of contracts
bid tiie market up on themselves. The
rise at its highest amounted to 4®6 points,
but here the Influence of the Census re-
port commenced to be felt In earnest and
prices quickly fell 14(tfl6 points, landing
Wall points lower than yesterday's last
prices. The close was steady, prices
showing a net hiss for the day of 70S
points. The futuro market closed for
tiie week with the near positions $1.50 a
bale cheaper than a week ago, and the
distant positions were $1 a bale cheaper.
The one big feature of the week around
wi.nih all tho trading revolved was the
Census Bureau report on ginning. It
caused much selling on the part of the
bulls.
The weather attracted more or less at-
tention. but developments in this direc-
tion dMl nut have their full force because
the Census report was hanging over tiie
market. In spots the prices lost 3-10c
during the week. Spot sales were 5800
bales, against 4895 the preceding week.
Sales to arrive weie 842"j, against 4000
last week.

SOUTHWESTERN RAINS
ARE CAUSE OF DECLINE
WHEAT PRICES SHOW LOSS OF
CENT ON CHICAGO EXCHANGE.
A Heavy Tone Prevails In the Pit
Throughout the Entire Day—Cau-
tion of the Bears Prevents
Demoralization.
CHICAGO, 111., March 20,-Wlieat prices
declined nearly lo today, owing to the
selling Inspired chiefly by rains in Okla-
homa and Southern Kansas. The market
closed weak, at almost the bottom, at
net declines of %Sj%©7fc0. Corn and oats
dosed weak, but provisions steady.
A heavy tone prevailed in tho wheat
pit throughout tho entire day and only
the ivldont caution of the bears, who
wtrttj not disposed to extend operations
ovei« Sunday, prevented tho market from
becoming demoralized.
Selling of a large line of September
corn by ono of tho principal elevator
Intterests cuused weakness for that
grain.
Weakness of wheat and corn prompted
moderate sales of oats, resulting In a
weak market all day.
Trndo In provisions was active. At the
close prices were 5c higher to 12^0 lower
compared with the previous close.

NEW YORK, March 20.-The lack
of Bfttled conditions In the speculative
outlook by the professional Interests wus
shown by tho alertness with which they
watched today for any sign ot outsida
Initiative or for any lead in th® opera-
tions of the market.
Such signs wore sufficient to cause a
quick and definite reversal in the market
position, so that when prices moved at
ail the fluctuations were confused and
changeable. The result was to reduce
the day s market practically to tho tenta-
tive operations of the professionals with-
out developing any awaking interest on
the outside.
