Many COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK. Nov. 2l-The following Is
the daily cotton letter Of Atwood, Niolett
4 Go. by private wire to G. W. Brahch
We advised all OF our correspondents
this morning before the opening lhat
though Liverpool was again unexpectedly
better. we and others mere called thelr
attention at the same time 10 the small
an cunt OF spot business at Liverpool,
and additionally that an Improvement
in contracts there was only natural pc
cause discounts were so great. Ne
argued from all this, as we nave argued
I'm the past. that an improvement coulu
be sustained only in the event OF spot
demand, supporting demand Tor con-
tracts. The Improvement to-day was 10
points on the near months ana y on the
later, of which points were lost. our
cables reported a more cheerful IeellhB
at Manchester. and If this continues II
win Doubtless show itself i'm larger spot
business at Liverpool some OF the
spot markets on this side to-day are
lower, others are unchanged, ana new
Orleans i-l6 higher, with 5000 sales.
The movement continues large, ana Is
about 1900 bales more Tor the -FOUR
days Of this week than last week, ana
indicates port receipts Tor the week OF
about 10000 bales, against 2j3,OUO bales
last year We said yesterday That the
amount that came into sight this week
last year was about 32j,UOO bales. We
understand from our New Orleans hrm
that the comparison that VIII DE maze
that the amount that came into sight
this week last year was about 3Jh,UuO
bales. Therefore, we are not likely 10
exceed this week the movement OF this
week last year more than 5000 bales,
and perhaps not over 10000 bales, and II
will bring the total amount In sight on
Friday next since September LIST, 20 about
g. 800 90 bales We showed a few days
not quite - per cent. Of the crop had
come into sight We shall perhaps have
In sight at the end Of this month 3,SO0OOO
bales, Consequently, If this should repre-
sent one-half Of the crop, IL would indi-
cate 1.GUU.OJO bales, but this crop has
been moved rapidly. Judging not only
from our own accounts, but those re
Celved by others. we are led 20 believe
seen that more than 80 per cent. Of the
crop had come into sight at the end OF
November 1913. II these impressions
are wrong then our Information IS wrong
