New York, Nov. 15.-There are times
when it needs but little experience 20
show which way the cotton market is
going, and again there are times when
factors are so complicated that the best
man in the business will not know which
side Of the market to choose. Now
there are factors which lead one to look
for much better market and factors
that makes a man hesitate to buy. The
financial situation and the condition of
January here in New York are both
rather depressing. Then there is the
continued fine weather in the South, high
temperatures that are making a big daily
addition to the yield and a fresh move
ment that promises TO exceed last year
by 80 or 10000 bales against this week.
There is no use binding ourselves as to
facts AS long as the movement keeps
up this way the yield promises rather
more than II ,000,000 bales. With this
outlook and finances somewhat unsettled
there is not likely to be much bull spec
ulation at cents. A great many are
long still, many have bought for reac-
ton and cotton keeps coming in. 1t is
generally believed that spot interests
who own December have sold a large
quantity of January against spot cotton
in the South, which they intend to de
liver. This will weaken January when
the time comes. should the crop move
ment continue and present 100000 to
II $50 600 bale estimates prove correct.
While we would buy cotton on good
breaks we are not yet sufficiently con-
fidcnt that prices have touched bottom to
advise buying for investment Weather
has added too much cotton and there is
too much cotton held on small crop
theories to make an advance in prices
beyond question.

Elected in the stock market today and
there We're erratic fluctuations up to the
noon hour. The market closed firm
however, at a net advance of | TO 2
points over last night for the principal
stocks. The bank statement seemed the
deciding factor in driving the bears to
cover. The loss in cash in the week was
rather less than expected, but the loan
contraction was smaller than was hoped
for, in view of the heavy liquidation in
the stock market during the week The
market reacted sharply immediately
after the publication of the statement
But it was argued that the heaviest
liquidation which occurred in yesterday
stock market would only figure for one
day in the weeks average of the banks
SO that the statement probably under

Cotton Letter.
Especial to News and Observer


New York, Nov 15.-The decline in the
cotton market recently as indicated in
these letters has been due in the main
to the panicky condition in the stock
market. and as the situation in Wall
Street was much improved this morning
cotton responded with a good rally We
find that there is a general disposition in
the South to hold spots for better prices
and offerings are consequently very light
Spinners as rule are sold from four to
six months ahead on their product, while
they are but i'll supplied with the raw
material, and it is this demand as well
as the demand for export that keeps
Southern spot markets above the proper
parity and so long as this condition
exists there can be no material decline
in futures. We consider the option
market purchase around this level of
values for a good up turn of so TO 40
points in the immediate future.

New York, Nov. 15.-The cotton mar

to an advance of 2 points. Later the
market took a level to s points above
the closing prices of the previous day.
The Improvement was chiefly due to en-
couraging cable accounts and belief that
the English demand for American cotton
will soon increase. 1t is known that
American spinners are carrying COM
paratively small stocks, having deferred
purchases for such a decline as has oc-

opening advance noted, there was a re-
action of 2 to 3 points under reports of
