Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Jan. 2s.-The suns cotton re- view says: Cotton reacted slightly at one time, but rallied and advanced, closing firm at net rise of 10 to Il points, with sales of 13S 800 bales.
 Today's features: Large Liverpool spot sales moderate receipts higher consols and covering of shorts caused a rise. Reserve stocks of cotton in this country so low that the weather reports this spring are likely to have more influence on the market than ordinarily The crop is believed to be somewhere from 6500, 900 to 1000 600 bales High prices and predictions of a big acre age during the coming season fail to bring out the cotton and the bulls think logical influence is that the cotton is not there to bring out Speculation is not very active at the moment, but there is something better than speculation, rightly considered. and that is good demand in this country and Europe. There is an excellent demand for export at New York, and in the near future the foreign business here is likely to reach an even larger volume for the New York market is the cheapest in this country. A rumor was circulated at one time today that an anti-option bill had been introduced in the United States senate, but the truth was that Senator Nelson of Minnesota sim ply refused to introduce such bill at the request of one of his constituents Prices are higher, and this fact silences even the crankS.

 Chicago. Jan. 23-Interrupted telegraph service told very seriously on the business in wheat today. Outside orders and news were scarce, and the operations of local traders were small because of the absence of other business. The buying of quite a heavy line by prominent scalper attracted attention and was the subject of comment It was believed, that Armour was the prin- cipal behind the transaction. The market opened firm, declined on realizing sales and rallied at the close. May wheat opened at 6Sm63Ac, sold between 63Ia and 62b6b62A C. closing at 622dc, Ac lower than yesterday. Cash wheat was firm at yesterdays prices. Little satisfaction was obtained in corn today. even the early strength of wheat failing to exercise sympathetic influence May corn opened at 295sc, sold between 29ai and 293sc, closing at 2919c, 1sc under yester- day. Cash corn was strong.
 The oats market was far from active. The business was local and confined to minor transactions. May oats closed unchanged Cash oats were firm.
 Provisions-The lack of outside orders gave provisions air of quiet and inactivi- ty. May pork closed 10c higher than yes terday. May lard a shade higher and May ribs 2Ac higher. Domestic markets were quiet, but steady.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. 23.-(Special)-Th key to the improved feeling in the cotton market is the strength of Liverpool and the good demand on this side for export. We have not lately been sanguine of a material ad- vance, but if the receipts continue small and no further war clouds should arise the hopes of the bulls for higher market may after all be realized There are many here who begin to feel that way. But the majority of traders still believe that any further advance will be trfling in extent and of short duration. March today opened at SOP, advanced to S07, reacted to sos and then in the afternoon became strong ad- vancing to S.10. The close was firm with March S.09GS10. Unless the news of the Russo-Turkish alliance received today should frighten Liverpool tomorrow it seems likely that the advance will continue.
