H. AND b. BEERS MARKET LETTE

Especial to the News and Observer
New Orleans, La, Feb I'm response
to more favorable Liverpool advices
than anticipated our market opened two
points higher. improved four additional
on the light port and interior receipts,
combined with the small Houston and
New Orleans estimates for Monday
closing at a net gain of six points on
the day The Egyptian receipts during
the week were 225, 900 cantats, against
$4,000 last year, the aggregate from Sep
tember l to date amounting to 4,417 600
against 3,666, 600, an excess of I51 900 or
the equivalent of 10000 reduced to 500
pound bales Bombay receipts from
September | to date show an increase of
236 900 bales over last year, in addition
to the 100000 excess in Egyptian, or a
total between both of 600. The trade
however, have ignored these important
facts thus far forgetting that they We're
instrumental in causing Mr. Ellison to
reduce his American consumption TO
10 400, 900. Lancashire has imported con-
siderable quantities Of Surats Peruvian
and Brazilian cotton finding it more
advantageous to their interest thereby
reducing their requirements Of American.
The impassibility Of roads in the interior
and the blocking of transportation ia
cilities in consequence of the extremely
cold and rainy weather prevalent for
some days back will undoubtedly retard
the movement temporarily. This cur
tailment may give tone to the market
provided new buyers are attracted to the
article.

checks TO stockholders last night with
out announcement were taken as suggtE-
| tive of desire to forestall possible
| legal opposition to such action and in
creased the disposition of the public to
await the judicial decision regarding the
status of the company. The enormous
loan expansion by the banks was an
other disquieting factor. Increase in
| loans of nearly $40, ,0000 600 in a single
week has occurred only few times in
the history of the New York clearing
house. and not at all outside the period
last spring, when syndicate preparations
were making for the great deals which
afterwards ELECTRIFIED the financial
world For the week ending February
2 last year, the loans of the New York
clearing house banks were expanded
$50, ,440 600 which was the largest single
weeks expansion in their history. But
the vast expansion Of credits the coun-
try over since that time and the small
proportionate increase in cash reserve
for the same period makes what was a
bull influence on stocks last year a
cause of hesitation and doubt this year.
What operations are responsible for the
past weeks large increase in loans is not
known to the public. The bank state
ment counteracted the influence of the
earlier strength of sugar on revived
hopes of reduction of Cuban sugar du-
ties and of the continued speculation in
Amalgamated Copper. The market
closed dull and heavy at mixed net
changes.
There has been an active bond market
especially for junior grades and those
whose investment standing has been be-
low the best, with a corresponding ad-
vantage in the interest return.

New York, Feb. 1.-Cotton futures
opened quiet with prices unchanged to 2
roints higher and for the next hour fol-
lowed a most uninteresting course with
operations much of the time practically
al standstill Rather frmer Liverpool
cables than expected were fully offset
by large port receipts. The latter were
close to $4,000 bales and included a
clearance Of II 100 bales from Pensacola,
expected TO be reported yesterday. The
room contingent was wary and refused
TO take on new responsibilities over Sun
Cay. The speculative public was ndif-
ferent. There was nothing of special in
terest in tho a1vices from the crop coun-
Try and private Liverpool cables We're
equally destitute of feature. The wealth
er chart indicated an Improvement in
climatic conditions South though in some
localities the weather was still against
Unrestricted movement of cotton. Wall
Street and room shorts picked up strag-
Cling lots of May and July cotton after
the call: local longs sold as mere mat
ter OF precaution. The New Orleans mar
ket kept in close harmony with the slight
changes made here but orders from that
point were very scarce. The West
bought few lots of March; Europe oper-
ated in an indifferent way On both sides
OF the market. The market closed quiet
