Jackson & Co.'S Stock Letter

By Private Wire to Jackson & Go.
 Birmingham, Ala.,- November T.-In all quarters it is admittedthat sncethe be- ginning of the week there has been ab- normally heavy realizing, and judging from the way the market held up and advanced in some instances in the face of profess ional selling, leads to the belief that the stock market is booked to go higher on general conditions. Among the bull factors the most notable is the enormous rush of capital into bonds. Still there are other factors of equal importance. For instance, figures of our great export trade, the larg- est treasury gold reserve on record abund- ant money, contemplated impossibility of adverse financial legislation, coming cur rency reform, excellent railroad business, and activity in general railroad business, and the fact that the largest financial in terests are long of the market. AdVices from abroad intimate that Spain will con cede to our demands eventually London cables reflect activity with distinct cheer fulness as the feature in the leading de- partments. It can be stated with some certainty that the Havemyers will make tbe regular per cent. dividend next month. The bull pool in Tobacco appears to sell on All rallies, and there is a confident be- lief in a big decline for the outcome. Talk of an increase in thenorthwest rate of divi- dend is not believed St. Paul earnings for tbe second week of November increased $32, ,436.

Jackson & Co.'S Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to Jackson & Go.
 Birmingham November 17.-First prices of cotton were rather irregular, showing 1 point decline to points advance. The feeling was steady and after the usual furry of activity around opening the mar ket became quiet with the trading basis at about points net higher for some time., The cable news was somewhat better than expected, receipts were below the estimates and Fall River advces were of more cheer-i ful average. However, investment sup port was meagre and the bull crowd ap-, peared to be indifferent. Reports that southern spot cotton markets were stiff fening on large export and increasing do-' mestic spinners demand, caused number of shorts to quietly seek cover, and this demand of the moment checked any appre- ciable sag to prices. Very few orders were received from the south. Because of the, general low grade of this years crop the New York cotton exchange committee on revision of, quotationsI of spot cotton have made the following grading changes: Fair was 1 cent on; it Is now 1Ac on middling; mdding fair was %c on, now %c on mid ding: strictly good middling was 7-16c on, now 19c on middling, and good middlng was 5-16c on, now 9sc- on middling. The remainder of the grades was left un- changed.

 Birmingham, November 17.-A broader gauge and higher market covers the trans actions of today, which were on large scale and better distributed. The grangers led the list, with Burlington and Rock Island making gains of 1 per cent. The southern securities were well sought after and foreigners were extensive buyers In the fancies, Metropolitan led with about ? per cent advance, while in trusts, both strength and weakness was shown, with final prices for both Sugar and Tobacco 1 to per cent lower. Pacific Mail showed great strength on its 119 per cent dividend. The New York Central-Lake Shore deal was brought to the front and the former stock became active and strong. Closing prices were well maintained and looks higher for tomorrow.
