New York Cotton Market.

New York. January 1S.-The market for cot
ton futures seems to have contracted some of
the bullish fever prevailing in the stock mar
ket, prices today advancing II points, with
trading ON larger scale than has been noted
for time Tho bulls were energetic
throughout the day. being supported by bull
ish news from nearly all quarters aud Liver
pool in particular. The start was at about
las, nights prices but bull supremacy soon
asserted itself and by midday rise OF to 0
points had been scored, with shorts display
iI.g great uncasinoss.
The later phases Of the market were still
mere favorable although at times there were
reactionary periods under profit taking and
concerted efforts by few leading bears to
start liquidation. The market was finally iirm
at 4 net gain of I to II points. The advance
of lac In spot cotton to 6is for middlipg tho
highest price touched thus far this season, was
a factor of no small means in the days bus-
ness.

| When the bulls do get the bears on the run
| they seem to have no mercy. Every advance
has been of the sky rocket order. while ths
| declines have been gradual the market AWAY
| resisting the hammcring of the bears.
| Today, with short receipts. talk of renuced
acreage and tho abandonment OF fields, the
| bulls had their own way. They started IN on
the aggressive and kept up thair ONSLAUGHT
all through They had determined TO pu'
priccs UP and they did. All offerings were
absorbed and new lines taken on. Tho re-
suit was that at the close the advances were
from, to IA points.
Liverpool did not do as we'll &c expected but
tomorrow may respond TO the feeling on this
side
spots partially shared in the boom. Hous-
ton and New Orleans are up 1-16 and New
York Is.
Futures in Liverpool arc about 1-64d high
err, New York is UP to IL and New Orleans
II to II points.
Port receipts were 2i,o6a against 2i.0I5 last
year and 1886 in 1895.
Houston expects tomorrow 5000 TO $500,
against 7012 last year and 1898 in 1895.
New Orleans expects 5000 to 1000. against
Ssoo last year and 7il7 in 1895.
The semi weekly fell below the cxpecta-
lions of even the sanguine bulls.
Cargill Richardson say OF cotton: Yes
terday's bullish conditions in cotton were
augmented by statistics of still stronger
character today, and despite the fact that
large profit taking was INDUCED in by old
longs, prices advanced steadily. The buyers
were Wall street. Ide. the general outside
public. and strange 1t may seem. Liver
pool for the first time in long while was
reported as covering shorts freely. This
buying was stimulated by an improved spot
demand, light receipts and estimates, and the
almost total absence of country offerings.
Receipts at the ports for the first time this
season We're less than $1,000 bales. and Ilous-
toms and New Orleans estimates were $500
less than last year. Liverpool. which was in
different early, closed firm. 1ia6id higher
than yesterday, with $1,000 bales taken by
spinners on the spot The weather map
showed clearing weather, but with an ad-
vancing market. talk thBt all open cotton
will be picked has few listeners Our Now
York advices say that around cents for
August, cotton should b. sale for q turn.
The semi weekly shows receipts 53.i1S, AGAINST
%, .s,6 last week and $3.50 last year; ship
