La., March 22.—Aside from a moderate spurt of activity at the very beginning of the period, the past week has develop'd very sluggish trading and a very narrow range of fluctuations, prices advancing and de clining alternately in an aimless sort of way. with very little net change to show froml day to day. The active trading months at the close Saturday sowed net losses for the week of 10 to 27 points, the most, loss being in the old crop months. At the start of the week the market was moderately stimulated by rather favorable Liverpool advices and by quite large spot sales in that market, flu; largest business bcig attributed in a great measure to exports to the con tinent of Europe and a good demand from Russia- The market soon develop ed a somewhat easier tone mainly due to the sluggishness of the dry goods market and the further talk of mill cur tailment. Some disposition to sell de veloped but the seller found it difficult to cover as soon as they stated to buy back what they had sold, the market being supported by a succession of rains in the cotton bolt accomplished V snow and freezing weather, freezing tempera tures extending practically to the gulf coast. With short afraid to sell with any vim and those bullisltly inclined, fearing to buy owing to the dry goods and mill situation, the market relapsed into an almost lethargic state with net changes from day to day virtually nothing. Even the publication of the final ginning figures for the year by the cen sus bureau failed to cause nnv move ment in prices, because the totals shown were about what the trade looked for and practically confirmed the govern ment’s December estimate of 10.081.- 000 bales. The report showed that 10.- 150,408 running bales were ginned dur ing the season equivalent in • >OO pound bales to 10.128.478 or just 47.000 bales more than the government’s estimate. The market was supported at the close of the week by expection of a bullish report by the special committee appointed to investigate the accuracy of the department of commerce statistics of supply and distribution. This report is looked for tomorrow. With Our Advertisers. Springtime hats in many shapes at Fisher’s.
