H. 6 B, Beers Cotton Letter.

Especial to The Advertiser
 NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 6.-our market opened advtces from Liverpool, declined points ad- ditional on the bearsh Texas statement and analysis issued by Mir. Hester today. coupled to the large receipts, improving slightly on on the day. Port receipts for the three days were 34 900 in excess of last year and 52 900 over year before last whereas the interior towns during the same time show an increase of 900 over last year. The feature of the day. however. was the Texas statement and analysis issued by Mir. Hester showing that January st was 2.o54, ooo. against 2,49 900 last year, pointing to a crop of about 2, 900, LOO for the Sttae. The analysis also shows that the Atlantic States have marketed BOP. 900 Gulf States are only l55,o 900 in excess The bureau in department in making their estimate anticipated decreased yield of 225 900 un- der last year in the Atlantrs, but as they It looks as if they have under estimated the States 527 900 and Texas 200. 900 as their estimates was 2.S0o 900 for that state. In the other Gulf States, which comprise Missis- Oklahoma, the amount marketed to Jan. lst is. only I55,C GOO over last year Every one comedies the yield in these states will be large and the bureau estimated them at B. 900 over; therefore deducting the excess of l55. 900 already in from the aggregate of 463,- GOO there would still be an increase uf 3o9 900 to come forward, which added to the 527. coo apparent deficiency in the Atlantics and 2oo.- 900 in Texas. would make a total of ,035, 900 over the figures estimated by the bureau. The greatest error in the bureaus data seems to be in the Atlantics. When operators have carefully considered Mir Hester's analysis, the probability Is they will abandon their small crop ideas and increase crop estimates before us We strongly advise our friends to realize their long cotton.

MARKET FOR FUTURES SELLING ENCOURAGED BY
 WEAK CABLES.
Promise of Heavy Port Receipts Add ed to the General Weakness. Southern Spot Markets
 Hold Their Own.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The cotton market opened steady with prices 2G4 points lower and further sold off after the call to 7.93 for March and 8.oi for May under pressure of long stun and bear selling the former being shaken out and the latter encouraged by weak Liverpool cables and promise of heavy port receipts. Commission houses and Wall Street sold in feverish way during the call and some cotton was forced on the mal ket by foreign interests. But before the hour closed the market took distinct turn and rallied nearly to Saturdays final bids a furry of covering and light room buying. A single room operator bought a few bales of May at sos and soon afterward bid 8 o6 for more. Around this level commission houses once more figured as sellers while new buying received a check. Big estimates for tomorrows Houston receipts and larger crop estimates from the South gave the market a setback before mid day and at the same time stood in the way of aggressive bull support. Just when the mar ket was beginning to pick up little new strength on covering early in the afternoon, New Orleans sent estimate of 2l 900 to 23 900 bales for tomorrows receipts and this again sent prices downward, May reaching 6oI before covering once more turned the course of fluctuations upward. The fact that Southern spot markets held firm and that clearances for export far exceeded port re- ceipts. led the bears to sell cautiously. All the late session the market was very nervous and sensitive to orders from either side. The close was steady at prices net lq4 points lower,

A Little Bov,s Life Saved.

I have q few words to say regarding Chamberlains Cough Remedy. It saved my little boys life and I feel that can- not praise it enough. I bought a bottle of 1t from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S. D., ard when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he threw up" and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine, my boy would not be on earth today.-Joel Demont. Inwood. Iowa.

IBy Special Leased Wire.
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6.-LiYerpool's action today was not up to the expectation of Satur- days purchasers this side. Deliveries only improved 2h-64d whereas greater advance was looked for. Spots recovered I32 with moderate sales. Traders here manifested their disappointment by an open desire to sell and prices were forced off several points in the face of fair demand from shorts to cover. The feature of the day which bears regarded as strengthening their position materially was the publication of the Texas crop state ment showing the total amount of cotton in sight from Texas and Indian Territory to be 2 .o64 900 bales up to Dec. list. a de- crease of 427 900 bales as compared with last years. On the other hand the amount in sight from other Gulf States Is l 55, 900 bales and Atlantic States BOP 900 in excess of the same time last year Thus while Texas loses 427, 900 bales, other States combined have gained 457 900 bales up 10 the new year and large crop believers contend that this state ment supports their views that the deficit in the Texas yield will be largely exceeded by the increase in other States Some offerings were attracted by this incident but the de- mand proved sufficient to hold prices steady,
 Closing figures are about points lower than yesterday
 Whatever opinions may have been established by recent developments regarding the crop, the fact Is beyond dispute that in the face of heavy receipts the market shows an under current of steadiness that is astonishing to bulls and bears alike. Doubts entertained, however, to the maintenance of this steady tone if the movement continues much longer on the present liberal scale for unless the pected falling off occurs confidence in smaller crop figures will probably diminish.
