hunters paiiy cotton Letter.

B. W. Hunter Co. say OF today's cotton
market: Liverpool again did good spot BUSH
ness at full quotations. but eased off z point
on futures, being quoted barely steady at the
closing decline. New Orleans opened I'M
changed and declined points, with small
business. and New York, after opening to .
points lower further declined points The
opening decline was attributed 10 the heavy
receipts al New orleans. which overran the es-
Innate Saturday by several thousand, and
footed up over $1,000. The market further
sold off on the estimates. New Orleans g., 900
to 36.o0o and Houston Il, 800 to 1900. We
have at last decided opinion on the market
and feel sure thai We have discovered the
cause OF the recent narrow fluctuations and
rallying power in the face of most bearish
conditions and declines when things look most
bullish. All the talk TO the contrary, we
have become thoroughly con rinced that there
is no interest OF consequences IN the market
on either side. and offer as conclusive proof
the fact that on such days as today, when
receipts have run heavy, and lower prices
seemed certain, those who bought on adyanc-
ing markets have likewise taken a loss AS
we have constantly advised for the past two
months. there is nothing to do but shut your
eyes, buy on the breaks. sell on the bulges
and take small profits. One side is as good as
the other. When speculation enters the mar
ket 1t will be different.

Galveston marked up quotations lis and
quoted the tone as being firm.
There was no news from the milling dis
tricts concerning The strike situation TO a1eet

tons. and the estimate for tomorrow Is lib
ersl.
A New York telegram said: Private cables
through bear sources say they expect the
market to sell lower The market is barely
steady. Under ordinary circumstances bulls
say the markets would fall 10 10 Is points
lower on receipts today. but that II fails 70

The January Movement.

cargil Richardson OF Houston say: The
logic that the movement in January will

the bear in December. We are getting the
movement and the market feels the effect of
IL The large estimates given out SATURDAY for
To-Day We're more than fulfilled. the ports
showing u, 900 over 1895 and estimates for 10
morrow of still heavier character. a few
New York houses with bearish inclinations
are quoted as saying that the cotton moved
out Of the State of Texas is misleading as TO
the estimates for the total crop. as holding by
farmers is more universal than ever before
Ihis is probably the case in many sections OF
South Texas, but can hardly be said OF the
balance. Spots continue in fair demand u;,h
quotations unchanged except in Galveston
where lilo up was ridiculousiy posted. Liver
POOL closed nearly lid lower, New York 4

snow to points decline tomorrow. as ia
generally expected. we will probably be In
huenced into declining little further.
