The colored American., 1901-01-26

The bright galaxy OF young men and
women who contribute to the news col
umns Of The COlOred American are
finding so many things Of interest and
SO many items of news for the paper
that 10 order to give space to the valua-
BILE things that come to Us from week
to week, it will be necessary to enlarge
the paper to accommodate even a small
fraction Of them. The new style and
the new dress of The COlOred American
inaugursted since the beginning of the
new century has made many new
friends for the paper and has inspired
new ideas snd given new enthusiasm
to those who have been its constant
friends and patrons. The great West
is noted for its brilliant men and gifted
women, and this issue OF The COlOred
American contains brief bat very hap
py pOrtrsjture of Miss Anna NJ Staf-
ford who is stilI but a mere girl but
who has won her way to the front as a
young woman Of high attainments
and most excellent executive ability.
She halls from EmpOris, Kans., and
was born in that little city, which
has been her home and the field OF her
success IN life. She is the daughter OF
j. X. Stafford a government meat in
speCtOr in the parking houses at KAN
sss City, Mo, and a sister to the Miss
Ethel O. Stafford who Yves recently
appointed priva'e secretary to Rev. II.

III. AND b. BEERS COTTON LETTER

tSpeclal TO the news and observer
New Orleans, La. Nov 12.-Lver-
pool was unfavorably influenced by i'm
porters selling against their spot pur-
chases in America. Our market. how
ever, only opened 2 to 3 points lower
and subsequently, improved 10 ON the
fears of colder weather and Ii hIer
semi weekly, interior receipts, the de-
crease being due entirely to the Houston
deficit, owing to farmers and merchants
holding back in Texas. Near the close
easiness again set in making the net
gain 5 to points on the day. The ridi-
culously small receipts at Houston
have naturally affected the aggregate
interior movement, but as it is well
known that Texas holders refuse to
meet the decline it has no bearing ulti-
mately on the size of the crop. Not
withstanding this the port movement
continues large, showing an excess of
$4,000 over last year for the first four
days of the week, and the exports TO
Great Britain during the same time
have increased 5000 over last year. The
latter feature is certainly against any
decided enhancement in Liverpool, as
the cotton afioat for that point is very
X
from America is increasing the actual
stock to such an extent that it will soon
be considerably larger than last year.
When it is considered that the Liv-
erpool stock has assumed such proper
tion as to dispel attempted manipula-
tion and that 10 to Is per cent of the
spinners in Lancashire are reported to
be stopping quietly in consequence of
unsatisfactory returns, there is moth
ing encouraging in the situation, es-
pecially as it is well known that the
textile industry on the continent has
gone from bad to worse.
After eleven weeks of ideal growing
and picking weather, exceeding every
thing ever known on record, it is reas-
fonable TO anticipate colder weather
Except in isolated sections killing frost
has not materialized, and here it is
nearly the 18th of November and the
average date is between October goth
and 18th. Planters have been able to
pick closer than for many years and
the yield has been largely increased
by such faborable conditions. Review
ing all factors, it looks as if values VIII
gradually seek lower level unless re-
ceipts decrease materially or there is
a decided revival in the manufactured
product.

COTTON.
New York, Nov 12.--The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices down / to
points, an Indifferent response to
weak Liverpool cables and to selling
orders from abroad. In explaining the
heaviness there Liverpool houses stated
that hedges were being taken off of
elf cotton and sentiment was bearish
under big movement here. The market
here soon showed a disposition to work
higher. Bad weather reports from the
greater portion of the belt, rumorS that
the interior movement from now on
would be much smaller and claims that
Southern spot markets were picking up
new strength, caused the shorts to aban-
don aggressive tactics and to assume
the defensive. Buying orders came in
from the South and Wall street and
room bulls supported the market with
confidence. Before mid day prices were
slowly started back to nearly last
nights bid under profit-taking and
light selling on the reaction theory,
based on exceptionally large port re-
ceipts. But in the afternoon January,
the leading option, advanced to $50 and
late months reached a high level with
the market during the last hour display
ing marked strength The semi weekly
interior town figures were decidedly
bullish, official reports fromthe South
were firmer than expected and the ex-
port movement overran all ideas. Wall
street and the South bought cotton here
on the second advance, as did Liver
pool interests and the West. Trading
was fairly active with a goodly number
of investment orders noticed. In the
last half hour the market settled back
a few points under profit taking. The
close was steady with prices net s 10 {
points higher.
