Fairchild and Hobson's Cotton Letter to H. D. -Cothran and Company. V~ New Orleans, November 15.-Foreign ca bles were better than expected this morn- ing, Liverpool advancing 2-64d, finally clos ing at 3-64@4-64d higher than last night, with good business doing in spots at un- changed quotations; sales 12,000 bales, mid ding American 15-32d. The advance abroad was attributed to a rumor from the continent to the effect that MT. Neill had advised spinners to buy cotton, and that he would confirm his estimate of nine and three quarter million. This report was de- nied by MT. Neill of our city, saying there was nothing in it. The fact however, that spinners here of late have appeared in the market as buyers led people to believe that there might be something in all this talk, and the impression prevails that when the Neils do issue their circular it will be a pronouncedly bullish one. Consequently being anxious to get In on the ground floor believers in higher cotton were the princf. pal buyers and as there was some short covering noticeable the longs were in con- trel of today's session. The comparatively light estimates for tomorrows receipts and dT approaching o5sS wave, together with advices from Liverpool that there was fur- ther bullish news from Mir.
