R. M. Scale 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS Jan. lo.-Liverpool was again positively disappointing. responding to the irmpess of American markets only with a meagre advance of 2-64 in deliveries. though spots doubled that figure by rising l6 with fair sales and the tone called hardening It is evident that the recent large arrivals and accumulation stock in the Enslish market have inspired foreign bears with a feeling of security for the time being, but the fact that some improvement is recorded indicates that the owners of the stock have acquired it in anticipation of the requirements of the trade and their disposal of 1t is not likely to be char acterizeds by philanthropy. On this side early transactions were Influenced by the prospects of very bearish weekly statistics which ma terialized. but without the effect that was expected. In fact. the market showed a de- cidedly steady undertone which resisted all pressure throughout the day. Closing quota tons are about points lower than yesterday.
 The continued strength of the market in the face of such a heavy movement is to be plained either by an excess of confidence amongst Epeculators consumptive require ments mulch greater than the trade has been calculating upon. As to the size of the crop thateproblem Is still open to discussion on both sides. but unless the long expected falling off in receipts is imminent less credence will be attached to reports about diminishing interior stocks and the market will probably receive less speculative support.

 Manhattan was affected by real. fzing, but was lifted at one time point over yesterday. Generally speaking the char acteristfc- of the market was duilness, due to the lack of outside interest. and the dise9n- tive interest. The tone leaned towards depres- sion as the lack of demand made the market vulnerable to even light selling pressure The Abandonment of the bull campaign in United States Steel and the desire to await better defined status for the Northern Securities Com pany were general consi alterations detracting from speculative interest.

NEW YORK. Jan. Io.--The cotton market opened steady with prices 2 points higher to 2 points lower and during the forenoon ranged between 8. lS and 6.l2 for May The cables were something of disappointment and fe- ceipts considerably exceeded those of the same day last year. Buyers were more cautious in view of the pronounced rally already score from the previous lower prices an! belief that the short interest had bean pretty well evcned up. Nevertheless, a sfi oHg undertone to senti- ment apparent and on every slight de- cline bull interests bought the late months. After easing off to B.. for May under profit taking by smaller holders. the market steadied up light estimate for tomorrows Hous- ton receipts and on reports that southern spot markets were consistently working higher on pressing export demand. Soon after i2 o'clock the market went off quite sharply un1er the combined influence of big 'in sight, figures and large estimate for tomorrows New Or leans receipts May sold off to l3 before Wall Street. Southern and local buying started a reaction. During the rest of the afternoon the market dis si,ayei decided inherent strength and in the very face of the bearish factors above alluded to advanced to the highe figures of the day with shorts very much disturbed.
