Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 12.-After a firm open
ing at a slight advance prices declined
rather sharply upon further weakness in
the foreign market, but on the appearance
of the semi weekly lin sight" together
with reports of strengthening spot mar
kets South, there was sharp advance
of 1903 points. AS was generally an
ticipated. foreign and domestic spinners
are coming into the market at the con-
cossion in price, and sales both in South
ern and foreign markets, reflect a harden
ing tendency with an upward trend Of
values for actual cotton.
As we have pointed out before, New
York is now on parity with Southern
spot markets, and any Improvement III
them as has been the case in the past
few days must meet with a corresponding
advance in our contract markets There
was some covering today, but most of the
buying was from a very strong source,
and many believe that today's strength
is but the commencement of reaction
which will carry prices 40 to so points
higher We suggest the purchase of May
and july contracts upon all soft spots
believing in higher prices for the imme-
date future.

New York, Nov. 12.-Transactions in
stocks ran well over million shares
again today in remarkably feyerish and
irregular market. The action of the
market gave warrant for the presumption
that powerful financial interests had set
themselves the task of supporting the
market and establishing a condition OF
equilibrium. 1t was assumed in Wan
Street that tho selling of stocks had
taken on an indIscrimlnatc character thaj
threatened serious results to substantial
interests. There was "A further threaten
ing break this morning which was not
unnatural in view of the rapid decline In
progress at the close of yesterdays mar
zct. The impairment thus caused in mar
gins ara ,he anxiety aroused among OUT

Barbee g. Co.'s
Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 12-While there was
one sale of January cotton at 1893 this
morning and a new low record on the
movement, the general market had bet
ter look about it than we have seen il
some days. Of course it's a rather per-
picking proposition, this New York mar
ket and with 100000 bales and T.
100000 bales estimated on the crop float
ing around, the whole question of cotton
values is uncertain. But as far as buy
ing and selling of futures was concerned
and the immediate inhence on prices. We
should call the selling very poor and the
buying the best we have seen in months.
All this may change with an advance of
few points. That remains to be seen.
But as far as the immediate market went
there was every inducement TO buy cotton
this morning. Cotton was sold without
regard to values. Whenever this happens
the end is nearer off. For instance, May
opened at 7.97. In few trades May was
791. 1t broke so easily that the sim
plicity alone would prevent man from
selling cotton. On the decline spot houses
bought. One broker who stood in the
pit and sold the pool all the January they
wanted at 8.54 less than two weeks ago.
took several thousand bales of March
from the same people at 40. This is
what we term good buying. New Orleans
wired that no cotton was offered there
to speak Of, and a little buying now
would steady up the market decidedly.
This brought many shorts into the mar
ket as buyers here and the tone improved
steadily after the first hour. On an adj
vance tomorrow we would take profits
on the cotton bought on the break and
then on a decline we would buy again.
Under the present conditions Of the flu
ture market. under the present conditions
of the statistical position Under tho
present conditions OF uncertainty over
the size of the crop everything leads one
to buy March and May cotton on a break
of this kind. We don't see evidences of
more cotton than can be consumed this
year II the price remains below cents
we may not have enough with 100000
bales As there was little cotton left
over last year it will require over H.
$50, 900 bales to bring about cents next
spring. Eight cents is not high for the
moment We believe in buying cotton on
breaks.
