14- THE SUN, THURSDAY, MARCH- 14, 1912. COTTON CONTINUES ft Uncertainty Caused by Weather and News Kcpardln? Status of the Conl Strike. COTTON ITAItDEK TO BUY In Spite of Dwindling Kpori Drmnnd tho Basis Is About tho lllclirs. of tbo Scnson. Just" present there nppear to le too Many cross currcnto to permit tho cotton market to wotk out of thn tun-row tut In which It 1ms moved for the pnst 'our or five, weeks, As consequence trailing continues professional and prlco changes nre governed more by the In hikI out operations of tho talent than by the news of tho, day.

As a matter of fact tho market for sumo time ha" rone contrary to the nr.vv. The complete control of the market ly the lending spot Interest Is probably rcspontlblo for this puzzling behavior. Strom; spots onuscd by a bulllph tinge to ndvlces arc utilized for tho purpose of reducing long lines. IVIicn weakness appears as the tesult of better turn In the weather or another announcement that the coal strike will not le settled, ring sonlpciK no more than get comfortably settleil down to their hammering tactics than the leaders of the market rush to the support of prices and bid prices up. In other words, the market has been a sale on bullMi news and purchase on bearish news.

Liverpool showed an Irregular tendency and opened down, advanced sharply and sold off, later milking a partial recovery. The local market was without tendency. There was the usual suppoit from spot Interests and some fair buying by the Waldorf crowd. Otherwise tha trading was without feature. It Is In Just such 'markets, without tendency or decided Impulse In either dltectlon but with a steady undertone, that spinners consume the most cotton.

Violent fluctuations are always disturbing, but there Is nothing dlconcertlng to consumets about a steady market with price changes confined within a narrow ranRe. llveiy day emphasizes the Increasing scarcity of cotton In the South. Although export demand lately has fallen off considerably American mllls.have been nuch steady buyers that the basis Is now about tho highest of the season. Less than three month ago It was possible to buy sti let middling cotton at a premium of fiO to 70 point on active spring or summer months. Now the premium has nearly doubled, and notwithstanding a rife of nearly two cents In tho contract market.

Although futures at the present level nre about a cent and three-quarters un from the liottom spinners have to pay About two and a half cents more for cotton than they did around the low level of last December. Weather conditions continue to add to the general mat ket uncertainty. particularly from the western belt, have uhoiMi almost as much Irregularity as the fluctuations In cotton. The forecast from Washington published yesterday morning called for generally fair and the forecast published about 10:30 called for generally rain and colder. With tho weather man indulging in such soin-eituults should Ik- llitlo occasion for wonder If the market falls to take a settled course.

Wlrre complaints continue to come from the eastern belt It Is noticeable that tin occaslonul ray of hope Is offered by some optimistic person who thinks It somewhat premature to kill oft the crop before It Is planted. The sales of fertilizer aic picking up materially and the Alabama State Commissioner of Agriculture icpotted sales of fertilizer tags one day last weal: the largest for any single day on tecord. Another feature that the nlarmlsts overlook Is to be found In the Improved methods of appljlng fertilizer. In former years when fertilizer was In the experimental stage the guano was nil dumped on the land in April. If this same operation were now followed It would lie Impossible to fertilize the land to the average extent.

Hy the latest method, however, only 15 to 20 er cent, of fertilizer Is npplled In. the planting season, while, the rest Is distributed throughout, the spring and rammer, with the final application In August. Consequently the work of getting out the fertilizer Is much simplified on account of tho exit nslon of the season, and tho present hue. and cry about the Inability to get out shipments is based more upon pessimistic Inclinations than on facts.

Wheat Declines Hare Farm -Too Little Demand Reserves Been I'nder- estimated? Too much wheat and too little demand describes tho situation yesterday and accounts for a further decline. The Northwestern markets sagged sharply, reflecting tho heavy receipts. It was said that Minneapolis will ship considerable wheat Into Chicago as soon as navigation opens. Many are now saying, too, that the farm reservos were underestimated. Moreover, the prospects aril for heavy shipments from Argentina this week.

Arrivals at the ports there have been heavier. The lluenos Ayres market opened lower. Berlin closed weak and 1 to t'c. lower nnd Budapest fell 'ic Complaints from Indiana and Ohio of damage to late sown wheat had little or no effect on prices. They were taken with a largo grain of allowance.

In regard to the highly interesting and at the same time debatable question of present and prospective supplies Croo Statistician 0car IC. Lylo made the fol lowing statement. "Is'theestlmateof wheat In farmers' hand of 122,0:5,000 on March I correct? According to the past official estimates have been very much below the ract In figuring on live years we have farmers' holdings and visible supply on March 1 of Ilemainlng In fanners' hands and visible supply four months later, on July 2i.1.763,noo. The dlfterenco of 702,470.000 measures the dis tribution of four months. Of the quantity 13.1,291,000 went Into export, leaving IRS.onn taken by domestic requirements In the months of March, April.

Bused on yearly requirements of MO.OOO.ooo bush, and requirements of 1sO.noo.ono In four months the official esti mates have been 66,163,000 loo low In each season. If we concede stocks of flour were reduced It would still appear estimate! were all of Ki.ooo.onn bush, below the probable fact." Depression In May wheat and In corn told against distant futures. The purchase of 1C0.O00 bust, of red winter at Manitowoc, to go to Chicago also hurt Chicago prices, Yet there are bulls who are biding their time. There are predictions that by the supply of wheat In this country will be small.

A St Louis miller estimated the dally consumption of wheat In tills country at 1,400,000 bush Minneapolis reported a general milling demand. Klevator stocks there are small. It Is said that everything is being pushed into Minneapolis and Duluth this month, Stocks at Minneapolis decreased 110,000 buli for four days, Liverpool dosed unchanged toj.d. higher and Paris to up.

Perkins Is Said to Be Interested. tieorge W. Perkins refused yesterday lo commiint on a report that he had recently bought a considerable interest in the Mail and Kxpress Company, publishers of the 'renino Aof. also refused to comment on a rumor that he had bought or was contemplating the purchase of un Interest in the New York Press. Company, publishers of the New York 'r, Henry T.

Kinstein president of the New York Press Company, said there was nothing in that rumor. The a piiearance In the A'rein'iio Mall yesterday of a statement to the effect that negotiations between the Department of Justice and tho International Harvester Company looking to a dissolution of the company were nearly completed received an unusual amount of attention in Wall Street becouse of the coincidental appearance of a report that Mr. Perkins had acquired a strong interest in that paper. However, no Information on that matter could be secured from any of the leading Interests in tho company, Including Mr. Perkins.

The understanding In Wall Street is that tho Department of Justice is willing to allow a reconstruction of the International Harvester along lines that will como within the restrictions of the Sherman anti-trust law without a dissolution of the exUtimr corporation. Cyrus II. McCormlck, president of the International Harvester Company, said last night at the Hotel Manhattan that plans for the rearrangement of the affnlrs of the company, which have been under consideration for sometime, nre progressing under the charge of General Counsel Bancroft, but that no final plan has yet been adopted. Hepresentatlves of the company and representatives of the Government have been In conference over the affairs of the company, but no agreemnt has been made between the company and Government officials.

Commli Zvlmnl iuillS'Z issinnisr subway American sugar report. It Is Made Intelligible to Lay Stockholders Net Profits Doubled. The American Sugar Kenning Company's annual pamphlet report, distributed yesterday, Is an innovation among annual rn-ports.

It Is bound in stiff paper Illustrated with pictures of slices of the company's domino sugar falling down like snowflakes on sky blue background. Insldo the little book are photographs of somo of the company's refineries and of somo of the processes of sugar manufacturing. The pages themselves are decorated with blue lines and miniature reproductions of eel tain stock advertising personalities used by the company. The style of the report Itself is more colloquial than Is usual In annual corporation reports. It Is decidedly a popular report.

Intelligible to the lay stockholder and pleasant to look at. Its editor has taken the trouble to make oven statistics attractive to tho eye, which Is notovvorthy becauso never In tho memory of the oldest Wall Htreeter has anybody everthoiight of livening up un annual report before. Net profits were 114,08.1,0.14, ngainst preferred illvldcnds, toa balance of 24..1 percent, on tho common stock, against 7.1 tier cent, in lnlll. The surplus was 11,17.1,341, against a dcticlt of M.427.S2.1 in ibid, llie front nnd loss sur plus Is brought up to t.M.n47,.1H0. Assets were 1128,310,200, against 1122.012,27s.

Secretary Joseph K. Freeman tells the stockholders that there are now 20,200 of mem, common ana preierrea, won 11 is mo greatest number In the history of the company. The report speaks of the year's sugar shortage and consequent high prl oh, but says tho company maintained Its policy of demanding a "reasonable" prollt on lis products. Hence It did not suffer. In ie-gard to the present suit ngainst the company under tho Hherman law the report slmvly quotes reassuring passages from statements given out so long ago as 11110.

Thoy merely tell the stockholders that their shares are worth anyway as much as thoy paid for tnem and that the attitude of the company Is to learn about the menninir of the Khnrman law from past decisions and got Into con- iormuy wun mat statute. At thn annual inAAflnir'nf the comnnnv yesterday stockholders ratified a directors' proposition to Inaugurate a pension plan ior employees, 1 no plan calls lor on initial appropriation of 1300,000 for the fund.
