COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Feb. 9-4The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 5
to II points under active covering of
shorts, and commission house buying.
which has it's most immediate incen-
tive the pronounced strength of the
market at Liverpool, which reported
an advance of 4 to ~ points before
the opening, while spot cotton there
was points higher with sales report
ed at 10000 bales. In addition to the
strength of Liverpool it was seen that
the port receipts for the day would
compare favorably with last years.
Following the call, however there was
considerable liquidation for profits.
which carried values back to a point
or so under the opening level and the
protlt-taking tendency was ENCOURAGED
by the estimates for to-morrow's re-
ceipts at Houston, which were placed
at 1900 to $4,000 bales, as compared
with 1854 last year The effect of
these figures was but momentary.
however, and the easier tone gave
way rapidly before the active cover
Ing OF shorts, There were indications
that the public were becoming inter-
ested in the market also as buyers
and while the estimated receipts were
considered higher than expected, the
indication for exports which reached
81, $50 bales as compared with total
port receipts of 2S,393 bales, led to pre-
dictions of still higher prices, and the
market aside from brief intervals of
profit-taking ruled very strong and
active. At the high point of the ses-
sion, prices showed an advance of
from to 25 points, and the close was
firm at net gain of to % points.

in fresh buyers, occasioning an ad
vance of IL to IA from the bottom.
Near the close realizing occaSioned a
decline of 5, making the net gain Is to
16 points on the day. Port receipts for
the three days aggregate $1,000, against
$1,000 last year. The five leading in
terror towns during the same time
have received $4,000, against 10, 900 last
year. The semi-weekly receipts at the
thirteen leading interior towns are es-
tlmated as pointing to $4,000, against
$4,000 last year. Manchester cables
say that during the past week there
was a distinct falling off in the de-
mand for cloth and the turnover was
smaller. There were a few practicable
offers from India and China and some
unimportant Levant inquiry. The
continued demand for spots is the
strongest feature in the situation. If
there is no curtailment in this Inquiry
values may improve further. The
higher prices advance the more opti-
mistic does sentiment become, not
withstanding deliveries are ranging
from 9,20c to 9.40c. Such figures GER
tainly discount a great deal. However
sentiment is very bullish, but the
liberal receipts and the possibility of
war between Russia and Turkey are
factors which may change the existing
feeling when least expected, therefore
we suggest that our friends, from now
on, should trade conservatively.

New York, Feb. Our market OPEN
ed with sales of March, at 9.13, GA,
S.15, 9.16 and after selling at 9.19,
ruled at, else at one p. m. Large
Egyptian buying was again the feature
in Liverpool and also here during the
morning. Heavy realizing was in or
der on the strong Liverpool by the
bulls who sold July more freely than
May. The latter position is strongly
supported by prominent New Eng
land firm giving rise to many rumors
Of squeeze. Receipts at the interior
towns for the half week show about
rs per cent. above last season and
port receipts promise to be heavy to-
morrow. This heavier movement caused
large realizing selling and by the after
noon the market had lost half the adj
vance with further weakness only pre-
vented by the support given to May.
Traders generally look for a reaction
after such a sharp advance. During
the afternoon the bull crowd bought
May freely forcing July up upon which
they were free sellers of that position.
The trade are all bullish looking for
stronger markets abroad tomorrow.
The spot market was quiet 10 points
advance.

The advances were not all made at one
time, but as. successive points OF
strength were developed previous gains
were held, In spite of the natural real
fling under cover of the new strength.
There was a pause In the upward
movement after the opening squirt. but
after that there was no general reac-
ton until the final hour. This might
be accounted for by the profit taking
sales of the room traders who saw a
larger days profit acquired than for
many days past. The reaction was
somewhat emphasized by reports that
new proposals had been received from
Germany concerning the Venezuelan
settlement which threatened TO open
up the whole question. The closing
was steady and generally only a frac-
ton below the best. Commission
houses reported some increase in out

The cotton markets closed at the

sdvices and the better home demand.
which appeared TO be well distributed
among the spot markets generally. A
sharp advance was scored at New
York of to % points, and at New
orleans of Is to is points. While there
were some slight recessions on liuui-
dation the closing found both mark
cts firm, with strong feeling favor
able to the market established.
Market observers sum up conditions
as being particularly favorable to the
article at the moment. The exports
to-day were 81, $50, against 1888 last
year, which indicates the extent of the
foreign demand. After attaching
weight to the big crop guesses made
Of late and withholding from the mark
ct to some extent spinners abroad
have found themselves confronted with
strong evidence of a moderat crop. The
advance in prices and their main
tenance is construed as indicating the
legitimacy of the rise to the natural
causes of supply and demand. Receipts
at the ports to-day also showed a falling
off, being 2S,39S, against S6,637 for the
same day last year. Savannah export
ed to Geeat Britain 1928, and to the
North 1880.
Reports from the country point to
moderate supplies. Stocks at interior
towns have been greatly depleted dur
ing the past two weeks as a result
Of the larger takings of spinners since
the gravity of the situation became
apparent to them. An official of a
leading railway entering Savannah
stated to-day that supplies in the ter
litory reached by his system were
moderate as compared with last year.
representative of a large fertilizer
concern also found stocks small at
many of the leading towns in Georgia
visited by him during the past ten

Turpentine closed firm at Csc, with
the demand good. Resins closed firm

has no bonuses to vote to failures, but
what is wanted is legitimate manufac-

products. The best days of Aberdeen
are yet to come, and the summit of her
prosperity has been far from reached.
Standing upon the solid rock OF past
