Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov 23.--For the past four days the cotton market has done prac- tically nothing. January cotton opened 1 point lower than last afternoons clos ing figures and sold points lower, but gained this and remained around 5.n for January almost the enti4ie session. The slight break that we had near the open- ing was due to the heavy port receipts which were 85,00O bales against 65,000 last year, but it seems that these receipts have already been discounted and the market looks as though it was shaping itself to take a material advance. The port receipts being quite heavy and the market resting at steady point is a good indication and shows that the mar
 ket has considerable strength especially under the heavy pressure of tlpe receipts. We should advise a purchase of cotton and think that it will only be a question or a short time whsn a good profit can De realized. H. H. SMITH & co.

Chicago, Nov. 2S-The export demand for wheat was considerably better today and the foreign markets were all higher for wheat, consequently oar market sd- yanced about 1c per bushel during the session, though a part of tlifs was lost and regained the market held steady with only fair trade. Thare was two good lots of wheat worked at Chicago today for export and the receipts for the northwest were light. May wheat open ed at 91A to BIS, sold down to 90B and had a narrow range all day. Theonet gain for today was about 1ac for May contracts. Corn and oats were dull and inactive, with practically no trading. and the same can be said of provisions. Wheat looks high enough at present, and if we have some favorable weather throughout the wheat belt. we VIII see May wheat sell much lower.
