z New York, Jan. 2o.-The Suns cotton re- vieW says: Cotton declined 2 to 3 points, but rallied and advanced. closing very steady at a rise for.- the day of 6 to 6 points with sales of 1o5 300 bales.
 Tpday's features: Not much change is 10 he noted in prices, but what change there was showed q small advance, mainly on accpunt of light receipts at theports and the interior towns. The speculation was IYohtgomery. Ala, dispatch said: The ma 'jority of farmers will plant a far greater acreage in cotton during the coming sel- son than ever before." But one crop at a time; the cotton trade Is dealing with the .pre6ent crop just now. And the opinion of many is that unless the receipts increase materially by the middle of February much higher prices must be expected. Just now the tone of the market is stubborn. It may not move forward much, but it refuses to back. The bulls maintain that the stub stinacy. but upon common sense-upon an intelligent recognition of solid facts promo tive of bullsh interests. There was bet ter demand for spot cotton from New Eng land, and a fair business was done. Fall River can buy here to better advantage than at the south. Not only were the re- ceipts at the ports and interior towns light today, but the estimates for New Orleans and Houston were also .small--In Q word, most of the news was abullish. The worst feature was the continued dullness of the receipts. a good export and domestic in- of shorts. .IE fos1TSia1j .gS

Cotton Letter.

New York. Jan 20.-(Special )In the ab- sence of encouraging cables cotton opened without animation this morning, and re- mained very dull at about Saturdays clos ing prices until the last hour. Though there was no demand it was plain enough that there was scarcely any cotton for sale. The weak longs had all sold out. and bears would not sell short When. soon after o'clock cables announced that Elli- son was about to issue bullish circular, a few shrewd traders picked up all the offer ings and prices rapidly hardened March. which had sold in the forenoon at 7.SS. ad- vanced to 7.96, and the market closed with a decidedly better feeling. After the close prices on the curb were higher. If receipts continue light we shall not be surprised to see sharp upward turn.
