the New Orleans and Houston receipts

noon period, but early in the after
noon prices slowly sagged under sell

some pressure from the bear side.
room traders sold on the idea that a
considerable long interest had piled up
ana that the shortage had been pretty
thoroughly weeded out. On the decline
the South and Wall street withdrew
as buyers and commission houses sold
quite freely. Sentiment became toll
erably bearish. The weakness of the
stock market and the failure of Phil
lips in Chicago had no direct bearing
on the market, though naturally Gre
ating feeling of disquiet in trade
circles generally. The close was
steady, with prices net to points
higher.

New York. Jan. 14-Europe bought
to-day on Wilson's estimate of yes
terday advancing the Liverpool mar
ket in face of the weaker markets in
America. Our markets opened quiet,
advancing slowly on the strength in
Liverpool, until it ruled or points
above yesterdays close. The local
temper is distinctly in favor of a fur
Their advance, based on the expected
falling off in the movement within a
short time. So far the movement
shows no signs of a break, except in
Texas, and the semi-weekly movement
is again in excess of any correspond
ing week on record, Notwithstanding
the lighter receipts at Houston. Re-
cepts at the ports are very heavy for
the loss in stock at the interest All
are looking for the perpendicular fall
ing off which the mail advices from
the South predict. We have never
seen such confidence in higher prices
in face of such a heavy movement at
this time of the year.

New Orleans, Jan. lathe improve
ment in Liverpool was predicated on
a perpendicular falling off in receipts
being anticipated by American CORE
spondence. Our market in sympathy
opened to points higher improved
L to additional shortly after on fresh
buying, but subsequently declined 6
from the top on the continuance of
large receipts, closing at a net gain
OF points on the day. Port receipts
Tor the four days are $4,000 in excess
of last year and $4,000 over year be-
fore last The thirteen leading in>
terror towns which make up the semi
weekly statement are estimated to re-
ceive $1,000, against $4,000 last year,
and 10000 year before last. In other
words, the movement is on a liberal
scale, Notwithstanding the claims Of
a marked decrease being realized. 1t
must be remembered also that if the
amount brought into sight from now
out equals last season, it points to a
crop of 10,500,000. The claims that
plantations are bare of cotton, and
uncounted towns hold much less than
the previous year, were circulated last
year, just as they now are, and the
popular opinion was that the crop
could not exceed $4,000 The growth
was 10,S19,000, or 100000 over the
views sheld then; therefore with a
movement this season indicating a
crop 100000 over last year, it looks
unreasonable to assume the crop is
so absurdedly small, as the specula-
tors under the market are endeavoring
to make the public believe. Purely on
theoretical reasoning heretofore, the
world has been influenced by the facts
as developed by the movement, and
as that data will ultimately govern
values, we suggest that this be
watched carefully in the future.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Jan. 14.-In the early
cotton market, prices were 8 to S
points higher, but the business was
very small, and there was general in
difference, one fearing that receipts
would continue heavy and another be-
lieving they would drop off. Good
cables had little TO do with the early
local rise. Manchester's situation was
said to be more satisfactory. Local
bulls were talking of a big advance,
based on the belief that prices are
quite remarkable, even with crop of
10,500. 000 which figures are far from
assured, while we shall within six
weeks be receiving news of crop prep
arations in Texas. where lack of mOis-
ture must give the new crop poor
start. The market gained to 3 points
additional after the first hour, old
bulls taking hold and New Orleans
sending buying orders. Gables a shade
better. Receipts $4,000, against $4,000.
The reports coming in from the South
as to the statistical situation, are
strong enough to scatter the bear
forces, and establishing a much higher
level of prices with the amount of cot
ton now held at uncounted interior
towns, and on the plantations, and the
amount held last year at this rate, as
well as the amount coming in last year
at the same places, and estimated to
come in balance of the season. dis
closes such a remarkable bullish sit
uation as to justify most hopeful an
ticipations. Numerous firms have
been engaged in collecting such data.
but so far there has been no effect on
the market. The net result of all sta
tistical developments thus far has
been that we have brought in to sight
for the season this far, up to the close
of last week, 7,7S4,000 bales, against
1881 900, and it will be time to discuss
the situation from another standpoint
wien these figures have changed. New
Orleans expects tomorrow II, 900 to
10000, against 1927; Houston 1850 to
5000, against 1929.
