Cotton Letter,

Especial to the News aul ObserverD
New York. Dec. 2o.-Like a great may
people. we have an idea that figures
make dry reading. While figures DO not
lie and all that sort OF thing. they can
o'ier ono way and rally TO another. Nov
ior instance. the worlds visible sup.lv
IS 3,GS9,0o0 bales, as compared with 4
t-S.oVh bales last year and G.22I 600 bales
Two years ago. Taken on this stand. We
think there is enough in the comparison
70 send every one into the market As
buyers Not for a few paltry points. but
lot nine, ten or eleven cents a pound.
Ihl9k of 1t for a moment. Three hundred
ara forty thousand bales less in the
worlds visible supply OF cotton than q
year ago, Last year prices started from
So about this time and never stopped
gong until 9.6S Was reached in the
siFEg. Why this year We should 20 to
1913 on the same reasoning. But wait
a minute. We started The season with
4 worlds supply just 2Q0. 0C0 bales less
than lest year. At the present time
European Spinners have 2zt.GO0 bales
more than last year. according to Ellison.
and taking Northern and Southern spin
ncrs together the American supply is
10000 bales more than last wear. The
TWO mean q total Of 10000 bales held by
splnners more than last year ard the
visible supply is $40. eco bales less. Now
whore is the bull argument? In one way
YOU can turn this into 4 bear argument
II VOC want. Prices last year Were about
f@c. all through November. when some
3,G09.Ge0 bales Of cotton had been mar
keted. Spinners did not pay over s.. for
1000, 600 bales bought carly in the sea-
son. They have paid over Sc, and as
hlSn as SIC. for cyery bale OF the now
crop this year. We are taking New
York prices as ? basis. Now il st&nus 10
rc99o!, if spinncrs have bought the cotton
at higher prices this year when they did
not buy as much last year at the lower
prices last season they have not only
paid nor" for their cotton but have moro
on hand. II they have more on hand they
VIII not have TO buy az they did on last
years aiVansc after JaEu2ry. 81 You
see YOU cant trust figures any Way YOU
want. The market is still the same ola
market with every reason why the price
should b. higher for the present At least,
but without buyers enough 10 put the
market UP. Take profits or all advances
and watch the movement.

Especial to News and Observcr.)
New Orleans, La. Dec. 20.-Livernool
adyices wore not encouraging, but our
market nevertheless only opened / point
lower and advanced five later on the
small Houston estimate ana the expcc-
tation of continued light receipts owing
to the existing local blockade. The lib
eral New Orleans estimate for Monday
and clearing weather in Texas occasioncd
q decline Of 4 from the top, making the
closing practically unchanged from yes
terdays figures. The interior town re-
ceiprs are frcer than for some time back
end the probability is that With 4 con
tinuance of fair weather the movement
viii increase some towards the latter
part of the week. There is no Indication
that the movement Will show any decided
increase in the amount to be marketed
because the congestion Of cotton in New
Orleans will not be relieved before >
week or ten days and during the interim
the railroads may only make light trips.
This. however, is becoming generally
known and there Is consequently less i'm
p%ortancc being paid to the small figures.
Traders cannot understand Why there IS
net moro buoyancy shown in enhancing
values considering the strong statistical
situation. If the world would believe
that the movement indicated exhaustion
considerable excitement in the market
would be in order. But as the Census
Bureau on October IS reported that five
millions. nine hundred and tWcnty-s"ven
thousand bales were picked and cinned to
that date and the amount marketed from
September LIST, TO December 10th. inunlu-
siva was only six million, one hundred
and thirty thousand. it demonstrates that
this is a very slow moving crop, and
then it also confirms reports that large
quantities arc held in tho interior be-
cause of all the cotton picked and g!nncd
since October 18th to date none Of it
practically has yet been marketed. Not
w~ithstanding tho arguments pro ana con
tho fact. remains that sentiment is very
hullisn and Will cause q furth-
or enhancement providing receipts do not
show sign of increasing decidedly.

New York, Dec. 2o.-While Liverpool
was a trifc disappointing. light receipts
and the nervousness on the part OF the
short interests held our market firm
throughout the South. The conditions IL
Texas Will control the situation for the
next few weeks. That the crop IS short
in Texas is evidenced by the continued
light receipts. with good weather pre-
yailing. The weather map today indi-
Gates a storm area which Will probably be
central over Texas within the next =
hours and this Will create further ncr-
vousncss on the part of the short inter
csts. which as we have previously point
cd out is enormous, and any general at
tcmrt to cover viii cause q sharp al
vance. Tho statistical position OF cot
ton is daily growing stronger.
The dry goods trade has shown a re
~narkablc improvement during the week
and on the whole We consider that tho
market is in a position to advance rap
