Cotton Letter.
(special to News and observer.)

Now York Jan. 9-We had another
market very much like yesterdays. The
only difference seemed to be that the ad-
vance came early as the decline came
early Yesterday, and up to noon better
prices prevailed. But as regards the
market itself, no change was noticeable.
No one seemed to know whether this
wait means a full in the advance or the
beginning of a decline. Snort selling by
the former leader of the bull clique was
the feature again today, and with large
lots of cotton coming on the market, the
trade did not seem broad enough to alb
sorb the offerings and maintain prices.
Not for one instant must one fail TO
recognize the Importance OF such free
selling as is going on today. II the
market can be kept quiet and colorless
until receipts increase, there is more
likely to be a break than not Bear
circulars of distressing news are in the
market and the former bull press that
was going to corner cotton at SIC, is
now telling us how dear cotton is at the
same price Now we are disposed to
believe the bull pool made money in the
January deal 1t is selling at discount
today. AS the corner did not work, it
is no sign that the present attempt to
break the market will not. But this
operation may prove as fruitless as the
other Traders must not forget that
there is powerful interest working for
a break, and an interest that has the
greater portion of the press behind it,
and more public following than any in
terest in years. There has been an ad
vance and holders are long. Still the
situation has elements of great strength
and all that is needed is more business
to keep the market active. If the trade
becomes dull and receipts increase it
will be difficult to prevent sagging prices.
But the amount in sight this week shows
a further loss of 10000 bales and the
total is now down pretty close to last
year. There are no accumulations of
cotton in any direction, and interior
stocks are actually less than for the past
three years. But with short interest
at work hamnering at the market, any
one can see that there are two sides to
the question. We still believe in buy
ing on breaks and taking profits as the
market advances. AS the bear interest
is q prominent one, we would buy cauti-
ously until the market shows its colors.
Cotton futures ranged today as follows

STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, Jan. 9.-More business was
transacted On the stock exchange today
than any. day since the semi-panic con-
ditions of the middle of December last.
Although the market became extremely
irregular and at one time generally re-
dictionary, there was a free broad market
during the whole of the day, and, the
closing was firm and active at rally
from the lower point The report of the
details of the division of the control of
Reading between the Pennsylvania and
the Vanderbilt interests caused the spec
ulative Imagination to catch fire, and
operations were hastily entered upon
seemingly on the assumption that all the
recent ills resulting from an over plus
of new securities and an inadequate sup
ply of capital to take them up had been
cleared away and cured and the conclu-
sion was arrived at by inference that
further projects would be pushed for the
harmonizing of control OF the whole
Eastern trunk line railroad and anthra-
cite field with subsequent designs upon
the soft coal field through the medium
of the proposed distribution of control of
Hooking Valley amongst the same inter-
ests that are to share the Reading con-
troll. New buying orders were poured
into the market this morning from every
quarter, including some by cable from
London. It was obvious from the outset
that this demand was very literally fed
by sales TO take profits by the large buy
ers of yesterday and the preceding days,
but the buying was sufficient to absorb
this realizing for time and to initiate
fresh advances here and there Reports
that the dispute between the Pennsyl-
vania and the Gould interests had been
settled caused buoyancy in the Wabashes
There We're subsequent demonstrations
of strength in other Gould stocks nota-
bIy Missouri Pacific and Manhattan
which initiated movements respectively
in the Pacifics and the local fractions and
which were not explained by any news
of the day Money continued quite easy
in snite of the heavy new demands re-
sulting from the speculation. A more
reasonable explanation of the reaction,
aside from the natural profit taking, was
the nersistentl and heavy liquidation in
Reading. due to the fears of holders that
as minority interest they will have
little to hope for in the new position of
the stock. Tho failure of the Louisville
directors to advance its dividend rate,
as had been hoped bv the holders of the
minority stock who followed the advance
in price when the control was passing.
served to emrhasizo this impression. end

New Orleans, La, Jan. 9.--Liverpool
advices were more favorable than looked
for and our market in sympathy opened
to points higher than Wednesdays
closing, improving 2 to 9 additional on
expected bullish weekly statistics. The
interior town receipts were more liberal
than anticipated, and as spots were easier
a decline of to from the top was es-
tablished Near the close the bullish Wis
ible supply figures occasioned an advance
Of to from the bottom, making the
net gain points ever Wednesdays quo
tations. The amount brought into sight
for the week was 100000 against 3G7.-
coo last year, and the aggregate marketed
from September LIST to date is 100000
against 1927, 900 last year The visible
supply Of American during the week de-
creased $4,000, against an increase of
90, 900 last year, and the total to date
is 3,215 600, against 3,710,000 last year
The feeling is extremely favorable to the
article in consequence Of the strong sta
tistical position. 1t must be remembered,
however, that last season up to this time,
statistics were bullish but ignored on
the theory that the crop was very short
one. This season WhlIe the present ng-
ores are apparently bullish it is contend
ed by MANY that there is more cotton
held in the interior than last year, and
ultimately the situation will be changed.
Up to date the spinners of the world
have taken 4723, 900 of American. against
1886 900 last year or 3S7 900 in excess. A
leading New York operator is out this
afternoon with a circular saying his
correspondents estimate the amount to
come forward hereafter is 10 pen cent
more than last year which would indicate
crop of II 100 900 to II 100000. In our
opinion the future course of values will
be ruled principally by receipts. If they
are on a liberal scale the market will
probably decline or enhance further if
they continue light.

New York. Jan. 9.-Liverpool came
higher than was expected and taking the
morning deals as compared with yesrer-
day the average price was higher, with
the tone frmer.
The Houston estimated receipts for to-
morrow were about twice last years fig
ure, which caused fresh selling.
The total in sight now is but a trihe
ever last year. while the visible supply
decreased for the week $1,000 bales as
compared with last years.

started to corner January are low on the
bear side of the market.
Fall River reports show profits to have
been lar~er than last year Spinncrs
report scarcity of cotton in Southern
markets and say they are compelled to
pay prices that look fancy when compared
with the future market
January was weak all Cay and was used
to influence the other options. The Sit
uation is statistically strong, and profits
can be made by taking advantage Of
these daily reactions.

Much Cotton Bought.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, jan. 9.-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance of three to
six points on favorable cables and indi-
cations of small receipts and sold TO the
previous days prices in the absence Of
public support with a leading bear oper-
ator trying to undermine long contracts
and force decline. From this there was
quick rally to the highest prices en-
run of outside buying, but as soon as this
demand was met prices again declined
until at the lowest point a loss of ten
points was apparent on January and
to on the other months. In the after
noon there was some pretty active cover
ing and renewed investment buying on
the strong week end statistics, on which
the market closed very steady at net IN
changed prices to a decline of points,
January contracts held a weak relation
to the general list under notices which
some placed as high as 10000 bales. The
selling in progress today was on the claim
that the market is bought to a stand on
the strength of the statistical position
which has failed to be generally recog-
nized The buying at this point is largely
on the ground that the spot markets of
the country show great stability OF the
support of good spinning and export de-
mand. good deal of cotton was bought
in the afternoon on Hester's visible sup
ply statement. Total sales, futures es
timatcd, at $4,000 bales.
