Especial to the News and Observer
New York, Nov 17.-As' anticipated
there was much stronger market today
with attending higher prices. Cables
were better, there was less disposition
to sell and even in the face of favorable
weather news and heavier movement,
prices We're advanced easily. 1t would APP
pear now that the New York contracts
had sought a lower level than conditions
justified through the urgent liquidation
last week of long contracts. With the
elimination of this interest in the mar
ket and the accumulation of a short in
terest, it can readily be seen that New
York contracts will advance to their pro-
per basis above Southern spots, which
means practically Sla cents for March
contracts in this market. The closing
tonight was at a slight recession from
the best prices of the day, the market
showing every indication OF further
strength.

J: NJ AVER & co.'s COTTON LETTER

]. NJ. Aver & Co., who came very near
son, state that information for the past
ten days has been so conflicting that
they will delay their estimate. We quote
from their letter:
The cotton movement to date has been
heavy, and the liberal receipts have
been used 10 promote the recent decline.
While the effect of receipts on prices is
positive, it may be asserted that the
movement cannot be safely taken as In
dicating a large crop. Practically. it is
no greater up to this time than it was
in 1884, '95. when the yield was under 49,
COO 900: but little more than in 1896 81
when 1t was under 5000 900 bales; and
for November It is 200 less than last
year Since the current crop is an early
one, it can be easily seen that the move
ment cannot be safely pointed to as in
mates just made by the foreign crop
forecasters.
1--WE do not see how any further ma
terial decline can occur unless there
should be a widespread conviction that
the whole country is in an unstable sit
uation We hold the view that general
business conditions were never better,
and that the recent declines in all spec
ulative values were the result of con-
certed bear raids which were successful
in fright ening timid spectators and
weak holders into a general unloading
and liquidation"

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE stock market
presented few, if any marked character
istics today. Although London prices
showed improvement, the opening here
was decidedly irregular. This probably
was caused by the liquidation of those
who withstood last weeks depression,
as we'll as by the profit taking of speeu-
lators who bought during that same
period These uneven conditions gave
way to a better feeling before the end
of the first hour. when it became evil
dent that certain vague rumors oil
trouble" were unfounded. The feature
of the early trading, as we'll as OF the
entire day was Manhattan, which was
exceptionally strong and active, making
maximum and net gain of over points
on transactions that more than exceeded
one-ffth of the days total operations

Cotton Letter.

Especial to News and Observer)
New York Nov. 17.-Heayy rains in
Texas and frosts in Oklahoma caused an
advance in cotton today. Then TOO, an
improved stock market helped things
along. Receipts were LIBERAL but the
market seemed sold out for the time
being. After selling at 1856 the March
option declined TO go only 10 recover TO
1856 during the afternoon. December
was the card selling again at S.ll. Spot
people own a good deal of December and
will ask again for the delivery of every
bale This cotton will then be turned
over to the holders of January. For this
reason we would not sell December UNI
der any circumstances With any strength
in the market, there may be decided adj
vance in December. Spot people would
like to get the price up to attract more
cotton here. The more the better as far
as they are concerned. This premium on
the December cotton makes May ana
March shorts more or less nervous. The
price is now at a level where decline
must take place in Southern markets
to weaken the local market much Ot
course if Wall Street is going to break
badly and more January has to be solo
in the market, there is not much chance
of a decided upturn in the price OF cot
ton. And if receipts keep on much ahead
of last year we may see lower prices be-
fore there is sufficient inducement to buy
for permanent investment. AS the pres
ent market is extremely difficult TO anal
we and prices break just when they
look strongest and advance when they
look weakest, we would sell cotton on
bulges and only buy on good breaks. The
December strength and uncertainty over
the coming bureau report on December
3rd may be sufficient to offset a liberal
movement and bring about a slight ad-
vance. It's likely to be trading market
for some time.
Prices for futures today ranged as

H. PARKER & co.'s COTTON
LETTER.

From the weekly cotton letter of j. H.
Parker & Co.. the following extracts are
made:
"Spot markets have shown more
strength and have not declined to a par
ity with the New York market, which is
now the lowest market in the world. Our
information from the South leads us to
believe that there will be no further
break in spot markets, as the demand
continues good, and cotton is held firmly
at the present level. The movement
shows an increase for the week, but still
does not indicate a large crop. 1t looks
now as if the movement on the first OF
December would be at least one-halt
a million bales behind the crop OF 1898,
which yielded eleven and quarter mill
lion bales We are still receiving reports
from many sections of the Atlantic and
Gulf States which state that the yield
from the late crop will be very small,
but it cannot be denied that the senti-
mental effect of the favorable weather
reports from over the entire belt has
had much to do in depressing prices this
week
eve have been both disappointed and
surprised that the market should have
declined so far inasmueh as all the op
tions have sold this week under s cents.
AS it is always the case in declining
market predictions are freely made that
still lower prices will prevail on the talk
that the crop will be the largest on rec
ord, but it is we'll to recall that in 1895
when the yield turned out 9,40O 600 bales
there was similar talk and large esti-
mates made of the crop. In fact Mr.
Neil estimated the yield at eleven and a
quarter million bales and adhered TO II

New York, Nov 17.-The cotton mark
ct opened firm at an advance of to 8
points After the first call. December
contracts advanced from S.07 to Sill
January from 500 to sos; March 1856 to
1856: May from 1896 to 7.97, and July
from 799 to SC. The early improvement
was due chiefly TO a better class of ca
bles than had been looked for. Liverpool
reported an advance of 2 points on spot
prices and on futures as we'll with bull
ish news from the southwest. claiming
damage to the cotton crop from an ex-
traordinarily heavy rainfall, while the
weather was cold and cloudy. forbidding
the further development of the crop
while such conditions lasted. On this
news shorts covered and there was con-
siderable investment. making an active
market Later, however, the market
gave way to points on the more ac-
tive positions. December sold down to
500 January to 7.97; March and May to
$50, and July to 7.95. Throughout the
decline there was good class of buying
and when this phase of the situation be-
came apparent there was a renewed COW
ering demand and prices again took a
higher level with the market finally
steady at net rise of ? TO 10 points, dis
tributed as follows:
November points; December 10; JAM
uary and February s. March 81 April A.

The demand was accelerated by gem
orally favorable reports from the South
as to the demand for spot cotton. NJ
market in the country reported any
change in the price of spot cotton, while
some reported increased interest on the
part of spinners and exporters. The
statistical position of cotton is the basis
of considerable investment in cotton at
