Cotton Letter.
Especial to News and Observer }

New York, Jan. 2S.-As indicated in
our letters this week, the public are be-
ginning to realize that the position OF
cotton is the strongest in recent years,
if not since the Civil War. A large short
interest was created recently on account
of the light movement during the first
week in February a year ago, when the
amount brought into sight was 14SOC0
bales, and it is generally conceded that
the movement for the corresponding week
this year will be near 900 bales, but
this is more than discounted as it has
caused a large short interest to be
created.
The market is over sold speculatively,
and tho shorts are very nervous, so that
the demand from this source together
with investment buying will undoubtedly
carry the market much higher imme-
diately. We do not doubt that May cot
ton will be at 9H cents before the end
of the week.

Especial to News and Observer
New York Ian. 2S.-May sold at $50
this morning, back to the top prices CT
the season. Everything was strong and
yet the market did not show the vim
necessary to carry prices into new
ground. There was heavy selling for
profits and selling by shorts who want
to break the market to get in their
cotton. This is the third time prices have
reached $50 and $50 for May, only to
sag back What will the market do now?
This is an interesting question, and we
hardly feel equal to a definite answer.
AS far as the cotton position goes we
could not present stronger features.
There should be increased buying on the
position and any increase in buying will
carry the market into new ground.
Higher prices will surely bring in short
covering, and an attempt to cover will
send the market up quickly. Everything
depends upon the buying power at this
important juncture. So much depends
upon sentiment, and sentiment is in
fluenced by highey or lower prices to
great extent. If we could get a higher
market here and start short covering,
prices would rush up quickly. Until the
market works into new ground we would
take profits on every advance. The ad
vance in January cotton today is a good
sign. This means an actual demand FOR
cotton, and there is not likely to be any
decline as long as the actual stuff COM
mands such figures. We would not be
surprised to see the market keep on
going up If prices get into new ground
Cotton futures today ranged as follows:

New York. Jan. 28.-Today's stock
market flattened out entirely and by mid
day there was little or no motive power
left in the market. An attempt TO put
up prices this morning met with active
selling in Pennsylvania which cost that
stock a point and was unexplained by
any news. Amalgamated Copper made
some show of strength on a rather vague
supposition that conditions in the trade
were adjusted to basis that would
prove profitable for the company. One
or two other stocks moved feebly from
Tune to time, but did not long maintain:
their new position. There was reported
hardening tendency in the London
money market, but sterling exchange
moved downward here. Our own money
market was appreciably firmer. The Sub

New Orleans, La, Jan. 2S.-Liverpool
improved sharply again today on rumor
that Mr.. Ellison would be out tomorrow
increasing his estimate. of American con-
sumption to II, 100000 bales Our market
in sympathy opened 4 points higher and
subsequently declined points on realz-
ing. Later in the session the light New
Orleans and Galveston estimates in con-
junction with the good spot demand at
higher prices caused an advance of to
10 points from the bottom. Near the
close, however, values eased off slightly
making the net gain to 10 points on the
day. The decrease in the weekly amCEnt
to be brought into sight is now estimated
as the indications are that the visible
supply statement will be very bullish.
The probability that Mr.. Ellison will also
increase his estimate of American con-
sumption tomorrow from 10,800000 has ac-
centuated the extremely optimistic feel
ing prevalent and has practically elimi-
mated any speculative short interest
which may haze existed. Our cables from
Liverpool today say that the feeling
there is very bullish on account Of the
large business doing in Manchester
which is expected to force spinners to
buy freely for the immediate present.
Therefore as all the speculative markets
and the greater majority of traders as
we'll are bullish, prices may improve fur
Their. The future course Of values,
though will continue to be ruled by re-
ceipts. H. & B. BEER.

and decidedly stronger. January con-
tracts going to an advance of 10 points

ment being matter of to IL points ex-
cept ON January, which closed at net
rise of IS points. Business was excep-
tionally heavy, the total transactions in
failures being estimated at 100000 bales.
At today's best prices the trading level
high mark. The upward movement had
its start in unexpectedly strong cables
which were due to come representing an
advance of to points. and an advance

the English improvement was due to a

consequently lower prices. The statisti
