and October was depressed. December and January options selling as low as SIC; but when the crop started 10 move freely and the buyer went in the field to buy his spot cotton that he had con tracted for, he found the demand was far greater than they had foreseen and competition soon sprung up, but when the buyer for local use and export pur- chase which gradually but steadily forced the prices of spots up. The for eigner had been the worst sufferer from last seasons short crop Therefore early in this season he was the heaviest buyer which accounts for our enormous export business. As the season advanced the seller contracted to deliver cotton to local mills at still further advanced prices, which, as they rolled on. became higher ana higher, until the latter seller was also a strong competitor in the market that he might fill his contracts Thus you will see that it has not been so much manipulation as it has been the actual need of the staple. The price of the manufactured product has been grad ualiy advanced and futures been bought as protection and a guarantee against contracts.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, December 19.-Liverpool made a wild jump upward just as was expected and spots there were up IA points and futures 22 points The buying craze in both markets is far from the end. The shortage of the crop is just beginning to be recognized. Mills are advancing the price of their products.
 Cotton is. being rushed to market every where to profit by the high price but there are many holders for 15 cents and over. Frequent reactions are expected but the general trade look for a rapid recovery on all periods of depression when it is seen that receipts will fall off very decidedly and this is expected to be the case in a very pronounced manner after the advent of the new year. First prices opened 10 to % higher on big sales, especially of the late months Some little hesitation arose on account of a small failure. Further gains fol- lowed first sales. Shorts were demor- alized German firms were active buyers and profit taking for New Orleans were features. This failed to produce weak ness. however. Port receipts pointed to 5000 against 43.00O Spots showed a hardening tendency everywhere, while Liverpool stock today are still behind last years figures.

LOCAL MARKETS.

Cotton in the Birmingham market con- fnues to climb up in price. At the close of bushes yesterday good middling was quoted at 12Ac and middling at 12c.
 Local securities closed quiet and steady yesterday. No change in quotations was noted at the close of business
 Staple groceries are steady and un- changed.
 Morris avenue is doing a big business but all prices are holding steady. A feat ure of the market is the high price of eggs and the scarcity of turkeys. Eggs are now commanding fancy prices in all parts of the country and sell for 30o a dozen in Blrmingham by the wholesale. In other parts of the state large transactions are reported on a basis of 35o a dozen. No change In the turkey situation is noted From present indications the supply will fall short Of the demand in this district
 Game continues on sale at one or two places on Morris avenue but sales do not seem to be very livelys
 No development in fruits are noted. Bananas apples, and oranges are selling we'll as Christmas approaches and brisk demand Is expected for the coming week.

cothran 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

By C. w, Lee x Go.
 New York, December 19.-After the events of yesterday the upturn today would hardly be termed unexpected. Liv- erpool advanced about forty American points which lifted that market way above the New York price. On the ad- vance the foreign market became wild and demoralized, and this started the ball rolling here. The failure of a small firm in New York helped the excitement for a while, the market boiled. There was not the volume of business noted during the early statge of advance but every one had more than they wanted to do. We cannot let this opportunity to speak word of caution to pass. The price has now passed beyond the dreams of the most enthusiastic bull and when you get 13 cents cotton you can see a break of serious proportions almost any time. This is now big game, a game for big stakes and 1t takes plenty of money to play it. There should be no long cotton now that is not protected by a full cent a pound
 Eevery one must be in shape to meet a storm for ships do meet them and this market will as sure as the sun rises. Take profits. cash in paper, and take out good money and then stand ready for the first smash.

Caldwell 6 Wards Weekly Cotton
 Letter.

New York. December 19.-The past week has witnessed many rapid changes in the cotton market. Those who nave not been in sympathy with the buliish feelings of the trading public, and more particular the south. have been pleased to call it manipulation and unjustihed Ill the face of the enormous receipts. Ihat might have been warranted thirly or forty days ago but as the situation ap- peared now, the foresight and good Judgment of the bulls all over the coun- try must be recognized. During the high prices of last season, particularly during June. July and August, mills were cur tailing all over the world and as 1t was expected the new crop of ls03-4 would bring relief. they were only too glad to make contracts ahead for their spot cotton some contract extending far into 1s04. As the spot cotton dealers expected an ample supply they contracted freely and sold for future delivery at prices thev expected would easily bring out the cotton. This caused an immense short interest in spots While these sales were being made and before the truo situation became known. the market d,,ring the latter part of last September

 was influenced favorably by the bullish
 visible supply figures, and our market in
 sympathy opened 1S to II higher. Shortly after fresh buying occasioned an addition advance of to 5, and as there was a
 good demand for spots prices ruled steady at the advance until the close, when gen. eral realizing set in, superinducing a break of IS to 21 from the top. making
 the net loss one to two points on the day. The total visible supply of all kinds in- creased 122,000 during the week against an
 increase of 122,0 GOO last year. of which the American gained S4.000 against an increase of S2 000 last year. The total visible sup- ply of all kinds is 37l6,O00 against 3,697 900 last year. and the aggregate visible sup py of American is 3,13S,0 900 against , 30S2 GOO last year. The Liverpool stock of Amer ican ashore and afioat is 699, GOO against
 719.00O last year. The spinners of the
 world took 20,000 during the week against 265, 000 last year, and their total takings from September 1 to date have been S525,0OO against 3.74O,OOO last year or 2150OO less. indicating a consumption of 10, 6i4000 on the face of the face of the takings. The movement, however, on it's face points to a crop of 10,S30 coo. there fore. while the figures indicate an out
 turn of about 1OSOO,000 and a consump-
 tion of about 10 6OO,000, present prices are
 over five cents a pound higher than they
 were during the corresponding period last
 year, based on the assumption that the
 crop will be around 1000O,000 The recent
 sharp advance has been due to the brisk
 demand for spots, and the general belief
 that the receipts will soon decrease de- cdedly. Confirming the small crop views.
 Sentiment is very optimistic, consequently
 with the continuance of a good spot de-
 mand or any decrease in the movement chances are values will be maintained or
 enhanced further.

LONGS TAKING PROFITS

New York, December 19.-The cotton lowing the big advance in Liverpool. First prices were Il to q points higher. Following this. the market continued strong and feverish with covering. About the only sellers appeared to be longs on selling to take profits. Just before the opening the formal suspension of the cotton brokerage firm of Laighton & Foulk was announced and this eontribut- ed to the excitement and confusion. The concern did not do a large business and the failure was not important. It is said to have been due to the specula- tions of trusted employe who Is re- ported absent from his accustomed du- ties It Is generally thought that the firm will resume.
 After the early action the market was again rallied. January sold up to 1905; March 1925 May 1926 and July 1S.42. Realizing at this level was tremendous. While trading continued very active and sentiment no less feverish, prices sagged down abruptly. Toward the end of the session, long cotton came out in great volume and the close was barely steady, net to Il points higher. Sales estimated at 500,000 bales.
