The market ha been reasonably firm this - week, but any decide tendency either way appears to be held in check by the various uncertainties. There la the war and its un limited possibilities of extraordinary demand en the, one hand, and enforced economy' and price control on the other. Then the war adds further to the genera! complexity by Its bearing upon the food supply question and inevitable drafts on labor. .These tn tarn win necessarily have a decided bearing ' upon the crop question.. And the war situa tion has reached tx acnte stage with regard to the . submarine Issue. This has become very serious iadeed; it menaces the export movement while destroying an unknown quantity of cotton. Sea Island cotton is setting at 70 cents. Of course growers now have none to sell, but a continuance of present conditions means high prices again next fall, for American mills are unable to get-Egyptian cotton, and there Is not enough Sea Islands to sat lsfy the imperative call for the long staple.
