Prices H ive Advanced l>y Force of the Demand. There Has Been no Manipulation. i Special to The State Baltimcic, March 2 ? The steady advance recently in the price of cotton ha* developed the fact that the tight over the staple has really heon between the southern holders of what is left of the crop and the European spinners and dealers who have not secured as much cotton as they need. Alluding to this manifestation, of so great importance to the south, Colonel Alfred B Shepperson of New York, writing in Tho Manufacturers' Record of this week, says: ''The European stocks were so limited and tho requiromonts of the spinners of Europe, American IT - ? - miiu ?f 111)hti so large mai tuo southern holders were enabled to advance the price on the European i buyers. Our European friends I hare boon the chief sufferers by j the rise in cotton, ns Americans land Japanese bought freely when . prices were very much lower. New York has simply followed J in the procession of the upward j movement. It is worthy of note, too, that this great advance has been without any speculative manipulation. Thoio has been no recognized 'bill leader1 in New York or Liverpool, or New Or leans, or anywhere else. "The consumption of cotton has at least so far ontstripped the production that the surplus from the last two crops, which were the largest ever crown, will ho completely absorbed this season. - The keynote of the situation is | that Europe has not secured sufj tieient cotton for the season, and in vi?w of the shortage of the India crop and the present high prece of Egyptian cotton, there is practically no other source of supply hut this country." I Alluding to the large receipts of the crop during February and the deep interest taken in the | stock now held in small towns and on the farms, Col Shepperson continues: "While the movement of the crop has been large during Feb ruary, and I expect it to continue on a liberal scale for several weeks, it is evident that most of the cotton is merely going onward to fultillment of sales previously made. It is known that a good proportion of the stocks in various markets has been sold and lit merely awaiting shipment. Ko liable advices stato that about onethird of the New Orleans stock on 1 February 24th and two-thirds of ' the Savannah stock were awaiting shipment in Europe. The total | of the stocks at all Fnited States ' ports on the 23d inst. was 218,- j 000 hales more than at the cor- ' responding time lust year. But , so much of it hud already been 1 " I sold and was merely uwaitiug j shipment that the quantity actual* ly for sale is undoubtedly much less than a year ago. This same condition exists in respect to the stocks of the interior towns, that is, much of the cotton has been sold und simply awaiting shipment. 4'It is a matter of notoriety that a well-known New York linn has recently bought in the south about 25,000 bales of cotton, chiefly in Houston, to be delivered here upon March contracts. In new of the very small stock of cotton here, it is not thought by some of our oldest merchants that the bringing of these 25,000.bales to New York will appreciably af?. feet the price of 'futures' or spot cotton. Generally, New York ojierators will run away from actual cotton when tendered them, but at this particular time many people are running after cotton '1 ' j( ' j > f. and can't g?t enough of it. . The ofiicial records of the cotton exchange for as far back as 1886 do not bow at the corresponding date of any year so small a stock of cotton in warehouses as reported yesterday. The smallest previous stocks were 100,000 bales for corresponding time last year and 111,000 bales in 1890. With so little actual cotton here and all southern markets relatively higher than New York, and likely to continue so, it looks as if the 'futures' contracts for each mouth of this season as they are reached would be forced up to the parity of spot cotton, and the belated people who are short of 'futures' for theso months would bo forced to pay pretty full prices." The principal industrial announcements of the manufacturers' Record during the week were as follows: $100,000 yarn mill. $50,000 co'ton mill and $20,000 sewerage system in Alabama; $25,000 mining company and $00,000 saw mill company in Arkansas; $0,000 naval stores company in Florida; $25,000 ochi e and sienna plant, $2,500,000 gold mining company, $750,000 cotton mill and $150,000 cotton mill in Georgia; $75,000 brewery and krug company in ' Maryland; $25,000 telephone company, 20 ton ice plant and $75,000 mw mill plant in Mississippi; $150,000 cotton mill, $75,000 cotton ni'll and $50,000 e ectric plant in North Carolina; $5,000 lumber company and $100,000 cotton mill in South Carolina; 8150,000 canopy factory, $15,000 fertilizer factory, $100,. 000 cotton mill and $25,000 creamery in Tennessee; $50,000 flour mill company, $5,000 cotton gin company, $5,000 steam laundry and $12,000 flour mill in Texas; $.'10,000 fertilizer and tobacco factor , $75,000 asbestos works and $15,000 knitting mill in Virginia, and $50,000 foundry und boiler company in West Virginia.
