New York, January 12.-Tne cotton mar ket opened steady with prices unchanged to points higher after which changes were confined to a bare point or so, with speculation restricted to weeks end profes- sional settlements a general thing. The shorts were made extremely timid and eau tious by much better English cables than expected and a small port movement. Still later steady feeling spread throughout the trade as result of forecasts for a warn ing movement and reports that spot mar kets were hardening on increased demand from the export element. The bull faction was quite opposed to the adoption of ag- gressive methods in the face of an over Sunday adjournment and absence of invest ment speculation though fully satisfied as to the real strength of the market in Its legitimate phases. The return of the cur rent month delivery to the posSion of lead ing strength in the system of rumors that large lines of cotton were ready for ship ments to New York; due here before deliv- cry day Clearances for export were large and gave no sign of diminishing in the im- mediate future.

Cotton Letter.

A. Brfttin & Co.'S Cotton Letter. By Pri-
 vate Wire to H. D. Cothran & Co. New Orleans, La., January 12.-This week may be characterized as the dullest since the active speculation began in September, and closes with dull and inactive ten- dency. The steady tone of spots and the indifferent attitude of holders, who re- frain> from pressing sales, has thus far. saved contracts from any material breaks. The bearish feature of the day Is the an- nouncement of the R. T. Wilson & Co. crop estimate of 10.263000 bales. In order to reach this estimate the crop movement up; to this date must have been the slowestl moving crop in twenty years. In other; words, with relation to the growth, larg- CT proportion must be held in the interior than any recent crop. These large crop estimates, 1t cannot be denied, are disap- pointing to the bulls and for the time be- ing, at least, take the sharp edge off the buying side. If within the next few weeks the receipts tend to confirm these largo crop views, considerable liquidation of long cotton may be anticipated and lower plane reached before good advance can be expected, if such is realized at all before the seasons close.
 But, on the other hand, if receipts tend to disprove -the existence of a crop exceed ing 1O,OOO, 900, a revival of speculative activ- ity may almost certainly be counted on, and cotton reach higher point perhaps than has yet been touched since the rise began. On the uncertainty of the crop re- suit the position is unusually complex. and both buyers and sellers refrain from active
