By Private Leased Wire.


 NEW YORK. Nov. l3.-New high records for the season were made in the market for cot ton futures today. There a strong open ing to the market with first prices at an ad- vance of ldlo points and subsequently there further show of strength in the midst of a mild display of bullish excitement and ac- tvity. Bull support was conspicuous, but the shorts covered liberal scale, and this buying attracted great deal of attention. The bullsh sentiment was influenced strongly by firm English cables, smaller receipts and prospects for more unsettled weather In many sections of the belt. the reports from the west ern portion of the belt were quite sensational in this connection. However, as the day wore on, 1t reported that spinners were not fol- lowing the advance and consequently realtz- ing sales became quite conspicuous. with the result that recessions ensued. However, the market continued feverish and active and the bears were rather timid about taking on fresh obligations. There a lot of sensational talk regarding impending speculative develop ments and in this connection there was strong talk of corner in the December option. Shorts evinced a great deal of nervousness throughout the day and on all recessons there was good buying. Hence bullsh sentiment ensued the greater portion of the day. Spot cotton was steady and firm in tone. On the close there considerable nervousness among many trading interests. The estimated port receipts for the day were 56, 900, against TO- 43S for the same day last year.

G. E. Pierce & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire From Gilbert & Clay.l
 NEW ORLEANS, Nov. l4-Cotton continues to advance in way surprising to its most sanguine friends, recording another rise today of about 20 points in contracts with spots quoted up 3-l6. Many veteran traders have sold short time and time again with the reac- ton theory in view. but compelled to cover at a loss. Information of a bearish kind has effect whatsoever, while prices mo- mentarily pause renewed buying comes into the market and the upward movement goes on. The real strength of the situation in Opin- ion Is that realizing is freely indulged in from time to time and on all easy periods renewed buying from this class of traders sweeps erything before them. English cables today say that Mir Ellison will rearrange his con sumption estimate and says that with pres ent higher prices maintained he must re- duce his previous figures some 300 900 to 5oo,- 900 bales, which opinion he is expected to cm- body in a circular to be issued very shortly sight for the week is heavy The reduction of wages at Fall River is expected to be allowed by cuts in operating expenses at other mill points. All these features were thoroughly circulated today. but were of as little effect in stemming the bullish tenor as the pro- verbal old woman and her broom against the tide. IL is, of course. strictly within the possible that there will be big decline some fine day. but not while spot cotton is sought eagerly. Naturally violent fluctuations will be more the rule than the exception and 1t will be foolhardly to trade in such a market without strongly ~-otecting ones commitments as the level of prices alone is sufficient to suggest caution. Much higher prices are de- cidedly within the possible as a price must be found that will bring requirements down to supply basis

 NEW ORLEANS. Nov. l4.-As Liverpool ad- vices were encouraged. our market opened 4D points higher and advanced steadily through out the day. improving l9g2o points add- tionat on the theory that the crop would be considerably smaller than generally antic- pated and insufficient for the worlds require ments.

Ellison will be out tomorrow reducing his former es- timate of lo977. 900 for American consump- tion from 300, 900 to 500 900 bales. It is stated that Mir. Ellison claims his former cs- innate was misinterpreted and that the figures of I0S77, 900 were predicated on the assump- tlon of a crop of ll.25o.ooo and the antici- patton of prices ruling on a normal basis In his first circular he said at existing high levels the consumption would be reduced about 3S7 900 and conservative operators then in- terpreted his estimate pointing to an Ameri- can consumption of about 10. 490. 900 Ncy- ertheless the majority of operators accented the maximum figures of Io,977. 900 and csti- mated the crop at 10, 500 OoO therefore it was agreed that the yield would not meet requirements. values necessarily must be ad- vanced to a level tp Confine the consumption within the bounds of supply.

By Private Wire From c. w. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, Nov. I3.-The cotton market would undoubtedly be a trihe more interesting from the standpoint of a reviewer if some- thing new developed. As 1t Is. there is abso- lutely nothing to add to what has been re- corded from week to week for nearly two months now. The crop of the South appears to be short enough to suggest a disaster. This scomes not from the fact that fair yield has failed to develop. but from the fact that the worlds requirements are in excess of the pro- duction what is believed to be the production. With no reserve to draw upon and the current crop below needs of the trade 1t Is small wonder that the market shows unac- countable strength at the top In the face of record movement the market fails to break Just when everything looks favorable for a re- action on Thursday the tide turned. Liver pool came higher and the top notch was reached. Longs realized over and around 1 | cents was the part of wisdom Shorts were 70 be found and lost money. Such a demand for cotton has never been known at this sea son of the year The oldest trader is puzzled at the position, but this is not surprising. The like has not been seen since the Civil War and all precedents lost their force Many of the reliable traders seem to have lost their cunning in q speculative way. They play for reactions which do not come and at big losses. The outside interest is large So Is the New Orleans interest. New Orleans is taking 5 cents for cotton on a crop under lo,5oo, 900 bales There Is smarter trade in the business than our friends in the South city. Here fin New York the prominent bulls are still believers in the market and
 
 terest IS not a menace in any sense enorm- ous profits have been taken and the load Is not what 1t at a cent lower. We would like to take this opportunity of correcting what Is believed to be a false impression. Cotton has not gone up on Brown Sully anybody ese's manipulation When the rates for ster- ling exchange drop to about the lowest point in ten years all because Europe has bought an unlimited quantity of cotton and the supply of cotton bills has demoralized the exchange mar ket. There is no occasion to talk of manpu- lation. Cotton has gone up because spinners have bought the cotton. The actual stun not futures. As long this continues will see this sort of a market. There Is nothing to sell cotton short Everything to induce con- servative buying on smash. The crop may prove larger than expected and the spinner prove 10 be insane, but until that time comes nothing can break the market long as the actual stuff goes out of sight. At II cents caution is necessary. We may the IA cents or 5 cents fin the Spring and still have reactions that would shake out longs. All one say at this point is that there has been no change in market conditions to war rant any shifting in the attitude which has prevailed during the last two months.

A. B. Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

lby 1rlNate Leased wire
 NEW YORK. Nov I3.-Cotton opened high CT with bull sentiment showing no abatement. Higher cables were at hand, and the days port receipts were showing up anything but heavy; in fact. there was comparative tame show ing after the deluge of receipts for some weeks. Bears were an the run in Liverpool when we opened. The magnitude of the rise has surprised even the friends of cotton. The probabilities that we shall soon hear of quite small receipts a result of fast market ing. The present level of prices has been an irresistible inducement for rushing to market. Wall Street is taking greater interest in cot ton as evidence accumulates of a supply not ample for needs. Prices climbed up with much opposition after opening and a good rise soon established in spite of bearish Texas reports as to improved crop conditions. The main point, however, was the fact that the port re- ceipts would most likely not exceed 56 GOO, against 7o,ooo last year. This made shorts nervous at times, but new buyers were pretty prompt in taking all offerings on signs of weak ness now and then. The stock is A, 900. The insight figures for the week 573, 900, against 44S. 900 last year.

SENSATIONAL ADVANCE IN
 PRICES OF OPTIONS,
December Beaches 11.32, While May Scores High Record of 11.45. Close at Advances of II
 to 24 Points,

NEW YORK. Nov. I4-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of ldIo points on better cables than expected, prospects for smaller receipts for the day, and predictions of more unsettled weather in the western belt. After the call there was some realizing enough to cause slight recessions, but the mar ket was immediately rallied by an influx of buying orders particularly from New Orleans ners and spot people were active buyers of fu- lures again at contracts previously entered into for the sale of good and actual cotton This active buying continued during the entire session and with hardly a reaction, the mar ket worked higher and higher until near the i.33, March il.43 and May I.45. The close was steady with prices 5 or points of the best on the active months and net iid24 points higher Sales were estimated at BOO in the history of the market Activity was productive of all sorts of rumors regarding the speculative situation and including reports that the big bulls were planning corner in De- cember with Wall Street interests heavy short of that position. The irmness in Liverpo was attributed to the bullishness of sentiment here and the anxiety of spnners to make sure of supplies, while private advices received during the day indicated continued frmness in the Southern spot markets Port receipts for the day moderate but the rates for tomor row called heavy movement at Texas points. The exports for the day were full and the sea- board clearances have now nearly reached the total of last year at this date, while the amount of cotton into sight is still some 4oo, 900 bales behind last year, according to this weeks figures. Estimated receipts of cotton at the ports today. 59,74o bales, against 6l,- 58e last week and 7o.436 last year. For the week, 432. 900 bales. against 4l2.o 900 last week and 343.5 last year. Todav's receipts t7,733 last week and at Houston l9, 396 bales, against 3, lol last year.

 Futures at the opening were 4d5 points higher. Heavy buying orders and shorts run ming for cover caused a still further advance. There were occasional slight fluctuations, but the trend was upward throughout the session. The advance of | 4 points in spots and l9 in futures at Liverpool, the strength shown by the New York market, fine weather for picking and the advance in spots locally were the bull ish factors and the horned tribe with these po- tent influences tossed prices skyward.
