A. Norden & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Nov. 27.-Liverpoo1 adj
Vanced rather sharply over our holi-
day, owing to the continued small crop
estimates being sent from this side.
and also, according to our private ca
BILE, to an Improvement in the demand
for yarn with an expectation that spin
ners would increase their takings Our
market was held back to some extent
by very heavy realizing, principally on
old orders that become practicable on
the advance, and the execution of these
orders has improved the technical posi-
ton of the market. There is hardly
much reason to expect further seri-
Gus advance between now and Dec. g.
and we continue to believe that the
market will be rather dun, though with
an increasing strength from day to
day The expectations as to the bu
reau continue very mixed, ours be-
ing that it will be very little, if any,
over 10000 900 bales. and should this
prove correct a sharp advance should
result. While In former years the fig
ures Of the bureau generally proved
ridiculous, their reports have been
more carefully compiled recently and
We believe they now carry considera-
BILE weight. AS the consolidated esti-
mate of the members of the Liverpool
Exchange is over 11,00O,000 bales, an
estimate such as we expect should have
considerable effect in that market.

Spot cotton in good demand at full
prices. Influenced by the improve
ment in Liverpool local quotations were
advanced &c. Sales $3.50 bales, in
Guiding 1880 to arrive.
At the opening of the future market
prices were firm and 9 to l points high
er than Wednesdays close. Shorts COW
cred freely and longs bought heavily,
forcing prices up to 10 points above
the opening This was followed by
realizing sales which caused prices to
recede 5 to 6 points. The firmness of
the market to-day was attributed to
the advance in Liverpool and the re-
port that shorts there were nervous on
account of the strong bullish sentiment
prevailing in America. The local
market closed quiet, the net gains be-
ing Z to Ia points.

tilhe IN months brokers and brokers'
clerks have had quiet week. Trad
ing mas been very light, and prices suf-
Hclently steady to prevent much ac-
tlVlty' Nothing that could have hap
pened in the way of an active market
would have been as welcome to the
trade as this breathing spell, Excite
meht enough will be forthcoming this
year to make US all appreciate a week
CT comparative quiet. Several factors
led up TO this narrow market First
the approaching government report;
second, the big receipts; third, con-
nIctHlg crop estimates, and, fourth,
prot1t-taking. But all the while the
tone appeared to be gathering strength,
so that the advance which came to-
DAY was not unexpected. There seemed
10 De a ready market for all cotton of
Tered, and prices needed no support.
Inc market was dull, but it held we'll,
ana took care of itself. A week ago
the conservative element was engaged
III proht-taking. Towards the close of
thls week, the situation seemed such
as to favor moderate buying, and this
brought in orders enough to cause quite
an upturn. Some were of the opinion
that this would enable some of the
large holders to sell. 1t is highly prob
able that the large estimate of the
New York Exchange this week, TO-
ArNVN' SodSSu ilOlueTS TO WOTk IOr an
advance before the bureau. However,
this may be, the majority were not in
clined to buy freely before the report
and considerable cotton came out on
the advance. A small estimate is eX-
pected from Washington, and it will
require less than 10,250,000 bales to
cause much of an advance. Should the
hgures prove under 10, 100000 there
would be wild market AS it is, those
who have been long for some time, are
taking advantage of the advance to
realize profits. No one knows what the
bureau will be, and since the market
Will be here all time, many believe it
wise to take their money when it can
be taken and then stand ready to op-
crate as soon as the bureau is known.
This is the part of wisdom, and the
policy commends itself to shrewd trad
ers. 1t is now just two weeks since
prof1t-taking over Ike began, and
those who took their profits have had
many opportunities to buy a dollar a
bale lower. There is no change in the
general situation. If reports coming
are to be relied on, we look for a wild
market. Until after the bureau, how
ever, we would buy on good breaks
only. The outlook then will be a little
clearer. We would not go short on
cotton under any considerations.
