Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, January T. = Unexpectedly good cables brought about a better feel ing in cotton. 1t is known that Liverpool is heavily short of cotton and the figures named are enormous.
 Covering of shorts there has been going on for several days and it is probable that it will continue for some time. Liverpool is understood to be adopting more bull sh crop views and incines to the belief that Buston's reputation as a prophet will suffer most seriously when the close of the season gives the figures It is be- lieved that the bear tipster who attempt ed to smash the market Monday has been a heavy buyer ever since his advice to sell was spread abroad. Ii is admitted that the present is q poor time to sell when evidence of short crop Is accumu- lating and outside surroundings are In such good shape. Weather conditions to- day were favorable for free movement both as to temperature and moisture. Bears were growing restless and bulls confident. Commission houses were buy ing today. Hester makes the Texas movement to January 1 l973,6l0 bales. Port receipts were 4SOOO bales, against the same number last year. Cables closed steady, to points advance.

Cotton Letter.
Gilbert & Clay's Letter to II. D. cothran


 & Go.
 New Orleans, January 7-Liverpool to- day furnished evidence of great concern. The quick recovery in American markets yesterday was apparently astounding to traders abroad and in the absence of eX- cuses for the up-turn the conclusion was doubtless reached that it was best policy to follow the lead. Deliveries and spots advanced about 6 points, and it developed that the sales of spot cotton were in- creased 5000 bales last evening, while 1O,O9O bales changed hands today.
 There were spurts of buying and sell ing al various int ervals during the ses- sion here which caused frequent fluctua- tions, though toward the latter part the tendency grew easier on free liquidation, due presumably to fear of increasing re- ceipts, though prominent New York operator was suspected of having put out a heavy line of short cotton with detri- mental effect to prices for the time being. Closing quotations are about points lower than yesterday.
 Within the past few days there has been a greater manifestation of courage on the part of bears than has been ob- served In some time. This development is due to the contention in that quarter that large crop ideas will be vindicated and that an enormous swell in receipts will be seen as soon as the cotton finds great CT facilities for shipment. Besides it is claimed that consumption will diminish at the existing level of values, which ac- cording to their hypothesis discounts everything in the situation. The figures operate against these arguments so far, and in fact there is more room for de- bate on the other side but traders have apparently concluded to wait for the promised expansion in receipts and ob- serve it's influences.

New Orleans, January I. = Secretary Hester's analysis of the cotton movement for the four months of the season from September 1 to the close of December, inclusive, shows that compared with the crop movement last year, Texas dnclud- ing Indian territory has brought into sight this season, in round figures, 90O0O bales less, while other gulf states, which include Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri and Oklahoma, have marketed 97.000 more, and the group Of Atlantic states, which include North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama and Virginia, 77,0o0 more, making the net increase in the total of the crop marketed S4,00O bales.

 Net Advance of Point In
 January-Sales Large.
PROFIT TAKING CAME LATER

New York, January 1.-The cotton mar ket opened firm at an advance of 4q6 points, and increased the advance to To 13 points on enormous demand following a rise of points on futures and points on spot cotton. with sales of 15,00O bales of the latter at Liverpool. The upward movement was accelerated by failure on the part of the receipts to increase as pre- dicted with reports from the spot mar kets of the country indicating continued indifference to sell, the New Orleans spec ulative market still ruling at a premium over the New York basis. Later the Eng fish market weakened to barely steady, closing at a net rise of 31l51a points on futures. This started selling at New York, under which prices retired to about the closing basis of yesterday. Again the market turned strong on enormous out side buying, and prices returned to about the best figures of the forenoon. The south and Europe were conspicuous buy CTS. New Orleans parties bought freely in this market. Many who yesterday held a weak relation to the general future list showed leading strength today. In the afternoon proft-taking started a decline, and large selling orders came on from Wall street, largely for the account of the former bull leader, who is now alleged to be operating for lower level of prices on the theory that receipts may soon be expected to increase with trade condi- tions. On today's decline the cotton sold, fell largely into the hands of strong par ties, influenced to buy cotton by the ex traordinary strength of the statistical po- sition. The market was finally quiet ard steady at a net advance of 1 point on January and a decline of to points on the latter months Sales of futures esti- mated $50, 900 bales.
 New York, January 7.-Cotton quiet; middling S.9O net receipts 1156, gross 1926, sales 1031, stock 174,545, exports to the con- tinent 1000 to France 166.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, January 7.-Spot cotton was in better demand today. While many bids are made by the purchasing element at prices distinctly lower than board figures, factors are not anxious sellers, apparently even at current rates. Sales 4550 bales including 1900 to arrive. Quota tions unchanged. A feeling of uncertain ty pervaded the market for contract cot ton today. The opinion of higher prices in Liverpool failed to enthuse the talent on this side, though there was an initial advance of two points. This was follow ed by additional gains of three to four points in sympathy with New York. which was influenced by heavy Wall street buying. Secretary Hester's analy- sis of the cotton movement seemed to ex- ert a depressing effect upon the long ele- ment and lent additional force to the ar gument in favor of the other side. For a while prices were hammered vigorously. losing seven to nine points for the various positions Thereafter there were rapid and somewhat wide fluctuations, the market at the close showing net losses of seven to eight points compared with yesterdays closing figures.
