Cotton Letter.

A. Brittin & Co.'s Cotton Letter. By Pri-
 vate Wire to H. D. Cothran & Co. sGI
 New Orleans, La., January 16.-In specu- lation, as rule, nothing is so certain as the unexpected. Yesterday marked the ac- cumulation of more depressing influences than has yet been grouped together in the recent past. In consequence lower Liver pool was more confidently anticipated, but the disappointment was acute when the opening of that market showed a partial 1-64th advance, and this before the close was augmented by further improvement till a gain of 4-64ths was registered for the day. It was cabled that Neill Brothers were to issue very bullish circular within the next few days, which, being reported in Liverpool, cccasioned the better tone and advance. The improvement was fully reflected in our market, which marked a. gain of IS points over the lowest of yester- day. The semi-weekly movement proved rather larger than expected, being 60, 300 bales, against 4o. 454 last year. This feature
 however, failed to retard the upward move- ment, bears being too timid to resist cover

ing to a considerable extent, having fresh memory of recent experience There has been no time since last September, when the substantial advance began, that cotton bought when the market seemed weakest and almost helpless has failed to give a good profit. Todays experience conclusive ly shows that the speculative interest Tn cotton has not run it's course. Bulls ex- hibit renewed confidence and again conri- dently predict much higher prices. It Is our opinion that fluctuations like those of the past several days may be frequently expected and that it is well to buy only on weak markets and sell out to realize profits on strong markets like this days.

ew York, January 16.-The stock market in London showed a decided weakness. Our market, however, was not so weak Prices here while a shade lower soon ra1- lied WisHIfUWW WI3y1
 Northern Pacific and Manhattan were strong and active during the early part of the session, but near the close there was some realizing and the prices sold off. The weakest feature of the market was Fed eral steel, which sold off about per cent. The decline in face of the declaration of their per cent. dividend yesterday was unlocked for. The balance of the steel stocks were weak. especially American steel wire. The close, while steady, was at about the lowest price with indications for a lower market

l The Mclean republicans appeared to be in favor of the candidature of
 Edwin J. Hungerford of this place and MT HungerfOrd is giving consider able attention to his canvass. He represented New Milford in the last general assembly and made a great many acquaintanceS who are now ren- dering him good service. He is backed by J. Henry ROraback, the state cen tral committeeman from the Nine teenth district, against whom very active warfare was waged when the central committee was reelected in the last campaign.
 Mr HungerfOrd is comparatively | young man and had never been active | ly identified with politics until the last campaign when he was delegate to the state convention, then making the acquaintance of the active political workers in both factions of the party.
 Sheriff Nellis is understood to be quite actively looking after his own interests, but the republicans in this part of the state believe that he has a great deal of hay out and must work 1 in sufficient amount of it to be on top when the county convention bal | lots are counted. 1t is reported here that States At torney Fessenden of Fairfield county, who was head pusher for Hon Donald G. Warner in the last campaign, will not desert his friend, Sheriff Nellis, in the campaign which is now being waged so energetically and it is also reported that MT Warner will do every- | thing he can in behalf of Sheriff Nellis, which is of course expected of him in | view of thasheritf's action in the last gubernatorial campaign.
 It is probable that Litchteld county will be plOWed from end to end in the effort to secure delegates in it to nom- mate MT Hungerford on the first ballot. The fact that he comes from a section of the county for many years unrepre- sented by a sheriff gives considera ble reason to believe that his strength will 1 be formidable and probably sufficient l to win.
 Chairman Fyler and his friends will endeavOr to see to it that one section of the towns in the Torrington end of the county sends delegates favorable to MT Hungerford and it will be knatural for the towns insthe New Mil EfOrd end of the county to favor their local candidate. f It now looks as if it would be battle royal to the very end and a spicy time in old Litchtield county may be looked for.
 MT HungerfOrd was born on farm at Gaylordsville, which is d district of
 New Milford, and for a short time re- sided in New Haven, being in the em- ploy of Coe X Jenks, the grocers.
 Later he returned to New Milford and engaged in the grain and feed business, retiring from that business to attend
 to some investments which are said to
 have been extremely fortunate in a
 financial sense.-[ Leader.
 The above article from the New Ha-
 ven Leader will be read with deep in-
 terest. throughout the county. MT
 Hungerford made an excellent record
 as representative in the last Legisla-
 ture, and is popular citizen. AS sec
 retary of the New Milford fair he has
 made an acceptable and capable official
 Should he enter the race for the
 shrievalty nomination, as now seems
 probable, he would make a lively can
 vass and a capable official if elected.
