With the last censu? report of the .season out of the way and the..size of the commercial crop a matter of no great dispute, the cotton trade is now squarely facing the question of wheth er there is to be a campaign for a rise in the spring and summer months or uol For some lime past there have been many rumort, that strong bull clique is controlling the May delivery III the Now Orleans market but this story has been laughed down.

With January liquidated thes< two mouths will command attention and It ought not to be hard to detect signs of any unusual trading In elth ed position. The weather man now will come in for more attention than has been paid It for several months. Should rain fall In the West the bears will try to make it a feature of general interest in an attempt to rob the sta tistical position of scute or the atten tion being paid to it. According to the market there is a large area of impor taut cotton producing countey in Tex as and Oklahoma thai has not re ceived anything like an adequate witt ier rainfall. although light r; ins have been reported here and there in both States for some time. Neu Crop la "aimer. This, it is claimed, has caused backward preparations for tlu new Crop In some sections and is against the success of the next crop since It is the general Idea that winter reins are conserved In fhe soii while spring and summe?' rains ere quickly evap porated. The claim of the bulls is that unless rains fall soon the cotton plant ov ?r a large area will suffer for moisture during every dry spell of the season Unless rains fall soon in a general way. the droughty condi tions in the West will he a market feature of great Importance. The statistics of the coining week will be eargerly watched for. stocks of cotton will command much atten tion and should they strike as they have this last week luv istment buy ing will be stimulated.
