LOCAL MARKETS.

The local cotton market advanced one- sixteenth yesterday. The wagon receipts were forty bales.
 The only changes in the stock and bond market were the advance of Bessemer Land and Improvement company from 9O-33 to S2-35 and the decline of Georgia Railway and Electric common from 41-45 to 39-41.
 Trading was brisk in the produce mar ket, though quotations were practically unchanged.
 There are no turkeys on the market and the produce merchants say there are none to be had at any price.

 Eggs are firm at 23 cents for cold stor. age and 25 cents for the fresh stock
 There is a good supply of Florida sweet potatoes on the market; the stock is good and is bringing 90 cents bushef. It was stated yesterday that an ad- vance in Irish potatoes is expected as the shortage in cars made 1t impossible for the northern supply to be shipped south. Irish potatoes are now selling for 30 cents a bushel.
 Danish cabbage is bringing 1 cent a pound, while Mobile green IS selling for $1 .25 per crate.
 Lemons have declined in the last forty eight hours, being quoted at 50 per box.

New orIeans cotton Marked.

New Orleans, January 16.-The spot cotton market was not so active today as 1t has been for some days past owing in a great measure to the fact that very cloudy and rainy weather made satisfac- tory inspection of samples an inpossi- biity. Nevertheless, there was some look ing around and a moderate trade. How ever, every one looks forward to further advances In several instances they have covered their tables and now quietly await developments. Such lists as were uncovered this forenoon were held for a further advance, and in order to get the goods at all buyers were compelled 10 meet the views of sellers. The orders are now beginning to come in more freely from spinners. Sales were f15O bales. in : cuding 15O0 to arrive. Quotations have advanced 1-16.
 In the market for contracts there was a brisk movement during the forenoon. and while March, May and July fairly the other months were traded in. At the outset prices stood to 4 points up, but enthusiastic buying followed the call and sent the figures to points higher. At that level New York broise to points under the weight of realizing sales and this market trailed after 1t with commen- surate losses. Then came the report that operators in New York were selling heav- fly and break followed that was made more precipitate when it developed that instead of a decrease there had been healthy visible supply These two inf1u- ences gave the bears the whip handle and prices were forced down 5 to points

Baxter e co.,s Cotton letter.

New York, January 16.-The Liverpool stocks today as shown by the report, lost .4 GOO bales and the total supply in that market is now 335000 less than last year and the afloat is 74, 900 less than last year. The American supply is 22,OOO less than last week and 256000 less than last year. So long as this strong situation continues it's only natural that British spinners should display nervousness.
 Private cables today stated that a more favorable opinion of the market was gaining ground there.
 Further headway was made in the mar ket today. Outside interest is increasing, and since there was nothing in the move ment to warrant belief in an increase, a very bullish feeling was crystallizing In all directions, and more especially among spot concerns in close touch with New England, where it is known spinners have allowed stocks to be reduced to q small figure on the influence of car famine, bad roads and unpicked fields.
 Prices opened higher and rose 10 points the first hour on heavy trading, with buy ing by New Orleans, Liverpool and the west Port receipts were LOGO bales. against 10000 last year. Cables were ' points higher and steady.

COTTON MARKET
 SCORES ADVANCE Strongest Gain Made Was
 from 6 to 10 Points HEAVY SALES FOR PROFIT Selling for Short Account Was Arrest ed By the Strong Weekend Fig
 ures Shown in This coun-
 try and Abroad.

New York, January 16.-The cotton market opened at an advance of to 4 points and was fairly active largely on general public demand, while the more professional class of traders were dis posed to take profits, if long of cotton, or to sell for short account, on a belief that while the statistical position re- mained one of remarkable strength, it had been over discounted in the more than l cent advance which has occrred here since November 14, when May cot ton sold at 7.S7 when that position today reached s.9O.
 At the strongest interval today's mar ket showed an advance of-6 to 10 points. after which there was weaker period under the heavy sales to secure profits with the market finally steady at a net loss of l point, to net gain of l point. Total sales were about 35OOOO bales for the day Selling for short account was arrested by the strong weekend figures shown in this country and abroad, the Liverpool stocks being PSI, 900 short of last years, with the amount a1oat 74000 short of the present year, while Superln- tendent King made the amount of cot ton brought lnto sight Tor the week, and the amount for the season, less than last years, the weekly contrasts being 30S, 632 against 325,372, and for the season T50l 11S against 7,5O2,9O6. Selling was also held in check by strong reports from the spot cotton markets of the country, the range showing an advance of from 1-16c to S-16c, on a demand from exporters and | spinners. Reports reaching here indicated 1 southern mills and New England mills were pretty we'll sold ahead on goods, 1 while holding moderate reserves of raw material. In the afternoon, however, the , disposition to secure profits on specula- | tive accounts over-balanced a. other con- alterations and the market closed rather weak.
