Murphy g. Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, January 1.-The cotton mar
ket advanced today on unexpectedly good
cables. Americans were eager buyers in
Liverpool where offerings of futures were
scarce and shorts were nervous. This
gave further impetus to the local higher
tendency. 1t is evident that cotton Is
moving at such a slow rate that very
moderate estimates must soon be modified
unless the cotton shows up in greater
volume than now appears likely. The
bull element will have In their favor dur
ing the month of January comparison
with an unusually heavy movement last
year and the question is, can the figures
be reached. Best informed people be-
lieve not, especially as last year, January
figures were only a shade under 100000
or an average of 250.000 each week, and
there is nothing to show even with the
bad weather that any such movement
may be expected this January. Europe is
recognizing this fact and already there
are signs of an early demand in mill
section for many months dormant The
Weekly Liverpool report indicated 259, 900
less supply than last year. Cables closed
strong at 9 net advance. Port receipts
5000 against $1,000 last year

Cotton Letter.

Gilbert & Clay's Letter to Cothran & Co.
New Orleans, January 1.-The first
business day of the year was marked by
distinctly favorable developments in the
cotton market, resulting in a further adj
vancement In values. Liverpool took the
initiative and reported points sharp adj
vance all around. Spots advanced 8
points, with sales of 5000 bales, and de-
liveries closed strong at a rise of points.
Cables explained this action to the gen.
eral growth of bullish sentiment, and 1t
was also marked that the English mar
ket was surprised by large orders from
America. The encouragement from abroad
sufficed to stimulate the situation here
materially, besides which the recurrence
Of bad weather south dspelled fears Of
an early expansion in receipts. Trading
was conducted on a liberal scale. Peri
odical profit realizing by satisfied longs
and short covering or fresh speculative
buying and selling created slight fuctu-
atoms. but the demand continued good
throughout the day, and the undertone
ruled very firm, closing prices being %
to rs points higher than Wednesdays.
The spread of bullish sentiment may
readily be ascrlbed in part to the nature
of the statistics. The course of the move
ment serves to discredit large crop the
cries. The trade is willing to believe that
bad weather has interferred with re-
ceipts, but are reluctant to acknowledge
that the entire deficiency is due to that
cause. Aside from this the relative re-
duction In the worlds visible supply In
dicates that consumption is proceeding al
a rate decidedly In excess to all previous
calculations.

GOOD DEMAND FROM CHINA

New York, January 2.-The cotton mar
ket opened strong at an advance of to
IA points. ruled very active with prices
steadily working upward until net rise
of II to 81 points was apparent, and on
this basis the market closed firm. The
advance was started by a strong attituoc
shown at Liverpool during the holiday
here. Today's cables showed a net rise
of 5 points on spot cotton and S1s to Q On
futures. According TO private cables tae
English advance originated in the appear
and better Manchester conditions, 20
gether with the disappointing movement
of cotton in this country, notwithstanding
the favorable weather prevailing in most
parts of the cotton belt for the transport
tation of supplies from the interior. Su-
perintendent King makes the port re-
ceipts for the week 254,1iS. against 3O1. 9ol
last year. and the amount brought into
sight for the week 33s,S9I. against 3S1,227
last year, which brings the amount
brought into sight according to the New
York Cotton Exchange figures, G,S5T 5S1
bales, against 6,s25,73s bales last year,
when the crop, according to the Chroni-
Gle, was 10. 701. 900 bales. The current de-
mand for cotton at this point has been
based largely ON the disappointing move
ment in connection with the record con-
sumption as indicated by the absorption
of cotton this season. Shorts who have
been depending upon larger volume OF
receipts have been actively buying to
cover, while the public demand has been
further stimulated by strong spot cotton
markets throughout the cotton belt, these
generally showing an advance of Lilo to
3-16. Large exports also were a factor
in today's rise, with Wall street interests
leading the demand throughout the SEES
sion. The total sales were 100000 bales.
