cides with the period at which the sta

HAVEN & sToUTs LETTER.

New York, Jan. 2S.-(Special) Fur
Their sharp advances have been scored
this week, and the market for cotton
has been exceptionally active as well
as buoyant. What is termed Wall
Street purchasing has continued on an
increasing scale, and the speculative ele-
ments still exhibit confidence in the
likelihood of Il continued rise IN the
value of the staple.
The purely speculative considerations
which this involves have not, however,
been the only improving factor in the sit
uation. The most powerful influence in
sight is the development of what
amounts to boom in the dry goods
trade throughout the country, with
heavy consumptive purchases of cotton
goods, advance of prices for the same
and the placing of orders which promise
to insure activity ON the part OF the
mills for many months to come.
At home the outlook for increased
consumption of cotton was never more
favorable, while abroad conditions are
believed to be similar. Although foreign
cotton stocks are large, it is likely that
active production will necessitate their
replenishment. no matter what the
course of prices for the raw material
may be. 1t is significant that Liverpool,
