Suqar and Coffee

New York. February 7.-Coffee: Spot Rio steady; No invoice, 71sc; mild, steady Cordova, SMl2lk. The market for Brazilian coffee opened steady, with prices unchanged to 10 points higher. For time the market ruled quiet, with unimportant changes in valuation; but before midday however, pro- nounced strength developed on heavy de- mand from Cooper" interests and bad scare of shorts which forced prices 20 to 25 points above the close last night. Bear- ish statistical advices from Brazil and a sluggish spot demand here failed to improve investment buying in the late session. Trad ing was active all day, with bullish senti- ment predominating most of the time.

Cotton Letter.

c. w. Lee & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D.
 Cothran & Co. F.
 New York February 1.-The firm opening of cotton today and the additional advance immediately thereafter was caused entire ly by the strong cables and covering by a few local shorts. Some suspicion Liverpool was worked up by interested parties, sup posed to be heavily long now of the actual stuff there and here, and trying to start a scare among shorts on this side, making it possible to unload their holdings. 5.
 Operations of this kind may be success full but it will be difficult to maintain any advance with practically no outside trade.
 As the day advanced the news favored the bulls. Port receipts, for instance, were only 191S9 bales, compared with 35,S45 and 34 400 one week and one year ago, and for the week are now estimated at fully 60,OO0 bales less than same week last year.
 The insight movement for the week now points to about 190, GOO bales against 249,33S last year. This might be considered quite bullish were 1t not so generally expected. Successful room traders continue to buy the summer months, and are selling March and other near months.
 There is thought to be a large short in- terest in July and August, which may be run in should Liverpool continue strong and receipts fall off still more There was some buying of these months today on this theory, but most of the buying for July Is on the belief that that month will go to premium over March, simply on the situa-

SLIGHT GAIN AT THE CLOSE

New York, February 1.-The cotton mar ket was strengthened today by bullish ca bles from Liverpool and further decrease in the crop movement. On the opening call the market was firm. with prices to s points higher, soon increased to matter Of to 10 points by a scare of pit shorts and brisk outside buying. Liverpool ad- vanced steadily on general buying which resulted directly from a small stampede of the bear force abroad. Official reports of receipts pointed to a shortage for the week as compared with last year and a shortage In the insight for the week of 7O,00O to f5,OOO bales as contrasted with that of last year. By midday the market had dropped several points, but manifested marked sta- bility and a disposition to work higher. Early in the afternoon business dwindled to a mere scalping trade, with prices hoy ering around the noon bids. Wall street bought the near months while conservative operators absorbed the offerings of the new crop options. The market finally closed quiet, with prices net l point lower to 5 points higher.

Financial

New York; February 7.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 The tone of the market here today was good, the announcement that the Bank of England had reduced its minimum discount rate one-half of 1 per cent exercising a favorable influence. Consols, however, were weak in anticipation of the announcement for the war loan. The American depart ment was active throughout the session and the whole of the list was affected more or less. Much of the activity was due to the participation of the genaral public. The Continent operated on the selling side. A conspicuous feature was Union Pacific. It opened above parity, then relapsed, but closed strong at 9S1ad on support sent here from New York
 Money rates were easy. both call and time. The bank received 5000 pounds ster- ling in gold bars. making net influx for the week of 10000 pounds.
 The Bank of Bengal raised it's minimum discount rate l per cent to per cent.
 Silver was weak under pressure of Amer ican selling.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, February 7-Liverpool ad- vanced 1-32 on spots; futures 2-6i higher and closed at a net advance of 1h to 2-64 points; receipts continue behind last year. Bombay receipts, however were 6O,00O vs. 3S,000. This market ruled feversh and about points higher. Europe bought southern longs, and locals sold, which lead to a de- cline of points during closing hours
 Estimated receipts at ports 19,00O vs. 3f,0O at New Orleans; tomorrow, 1000 vs. 5000.
 The market, while dull during the entire season, showed at times considerable strength, and should the receipts continue to fall off, we no reason why cotton should not go higher. All indications now point to a large acreage during the coming season, but for the early months we look for much higher prices, especially in March and May.
