New York, Nov. 13.-Cotton opened
higher, 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 comparatively tame
showing after the deluge of receipts
for some weeks. Bears were on the
run in Liverpool when we opened. The
probabilities are that we shall soon
hear Of quite small receipts as a re-
suit of fast marketing. The present
level of prices has been an irresistible
inducement for rushing to market
and it may appear that receipts
from now on will be quite tame. Wall
street is taking greater interest in
cotton as evidence accumulates of a
supply not ample for needs. Prices
climbed up without much opposition
after the opening and a good rise
was soon established in spite of bear
ish Texas reports, as to improved crop
conditions. The main point, however
was the fact that the port receipts
would most likely not exceed $4,000
shorts nervous, at times, but new
buyers were pretty prompt in taking
all offerings on signs of weakness now
and then. The New York stock is
$4,000. The insight figures for the
week were $4,000, against 1000 last
year. Estimates for tomorrow: Hous-
ton, &c, 600 to $1,000. against 11,79O last
year. New Orleans, $4,000 to $4,000,
against 1880. Galveston, $4,000 to &c.

The Morning News Office,
Friday, Nov. 10.
This was another interesting dayin
+ne cotton futures markets, with its
usual surprises in the price movement.
The advance came on schedule time.
and once the market got down to bus
mess gains were quickly made. Spot
cotton also advanced, Savannah being
firm and higher. Offerings of coun-
trv cotton were limited, with holders
asking full prices.
As to the position the general opin-
ion locally is that the basis is strong,
and the market rising on legitimate
conditions. Some firm emphasize that
there are no manipulators at work,
and that the rise is the result of
demand and scarcity of the article.
Turpentine closed firm at SEC, with
the demand fair. Resins closed firm,

New York, Nov. 13.-The cotton mar
ket would undoubtedly be a trile more
interesting from the standpoint of a
review if something new happened.
AS it is there is absolutely nothing to
add to what has been recorded from
week to week for nearly two months
now. The crop appears to be short
enough to suggest a disaster. This
comes not from the fact that a fair
yield has failed to develop. but from
the fact that the worlds requirements
are in excess of the production, or
what is. now believed to be the pro-
duction. With no reserve to draw upon
and the current crop below needs of
the trade, it is small wonder that the
market shows unaccountable strength
at the top. In the face of a record
movement, the market fails to break.
Just when everything looked favorable
for a reaction on Thursday. the tide
turned, Liverpool came higher and the
top notch was reached Longs real
lied over and around lie, as was the
part of wisdom. Shorts were to be
found and these lost money.
Such a demand for cotton has never
been known at this season of the year.
The oldest trader in the market is puz-
zled at the position. But this is not
surprising. The like has not been
y
cedents have lost their force. Many of
reliable traders seem to have lost their
cunning in a speculative way. They
play for reactions which do not come,
and cover at big losses. The outside
interest is large. So is the New Or
leans interest. New Orleans is talk
ing 15c for cotton on a crop under TO-,
100000 bales. There is no smarter
trade in the business than our friends
n tho nif ~ IN
York, the prominent bulls are still be-
levers in the market and own more
or less cotton. But this long interest
is not menace in any sense and erlor-
nous profits have been taken, and the
load is not what it was at a cent low
er. We would like to take this OPP
portunity of correcting what we be-
lieve to be a false impression. Cotton
has not gone up on Brown or Sully or
anybody's manipulation. When the
rates for sterling exchange drop to
about the lowest point in ten years, all
because Europe has bought an unlim-
tied quantity of cotton, and the sup
ply of cotton bills has demoralized the
exchange market, there is no occasion
to talk of manipulation. Cotton has
gone up because spinners have bought
cotton. The actual stuff. no futures.
AS long as this continues, we will see
this sort of a market. There is moth
ing to sell cotton short on. Everything
to induce conservative buying on any
break. The crop may prove larger than
expected, and the spinner prove to be
insane, but until that time comes, moth
ing can break the market as long as
the actual stuff goes out of sight. At
lie caution is necessary. We may see
the lac or 15c mark in the spring and
still have reactions that would shake
out longs. All one can say at this
point is that there has been no change
in the market conditions to warrant any
shifting on the attitude which has pre-
vailed during the last two months.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Nov. 13.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 161O
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 market was Immediately rallied by
an influx of buying orders particularly
from New Orleans, covering shorts and
reports that both spinners and spot
people were active buyers of futures
again at contracts previously entered
into for the sale of goods and actual
cotton. This active buying continued
during the entire session and with
hardly reaction. the market worked
nlgher ana higher until near the close
december was selling at II .32c; Jan
uary at IL 3c: March at 11.43c, and
May, IL. 45c. The close was steady
within or points of the best on the
active months, and net. 11m24 points
higher. Sales We're estimated at L.
o0O,OO0 bales, a total reached only twice
before in the history of the market.
The activity was productive of all sorts
of rumors regarding the speculative
situation, and including reports that
the big bulls We're planning a corner in
December, with Wall street interests
heavily short of that position. The
strength in Liverpool was attributed to
the bullishness of sentiment here. and
the anxiety of spnners to make sure
of supplies while private advices re-
ceived during the day indicated con-
tinued firmness in the Southern spot
markets. Port receipts for the day
were moderate. but estimates for to-
morrow called for a heavy movement
at Texas points. The exports for the
day were full and the seaboard clear
ances have now nearly reached the to-
tai of last year at this date, while the
amount of cotton into sight is still
some 10000 bales behind last year ac-
cording to this weeks figures. The
into sight of the week was large, but
rather under early estimates, and there
is an inclination to look for a rather
smaller movement next week in spite
of the attractive level of prices.
Estimates receipts cotton at the ports
to-day, SO, 149 bales, against 61,5S9 last
week, and 7O,43S last year For the
week, $4,000 bales, against 41200O last
week, and $780, S3 last year. To-days
receipts at New Orleans were 16,646
bales, against 1873 last week, and at
Houston, 1896 bales, against 10, 101 last
year.

New Orleans, Nov. 13.-Spot cotton
opened firm and factors were asking

rapid that the purchasing element hes
itate paying the price asked. Sales
1900 bales, including 1900 to arrive.
Quotations 3-16c higher.
Futures at the opening were to 3
points higher. Heavy buying orders
and shorts running for cover caused
a still further advance. There were
occasional fluctuations, but the trend
was upward throughout the session.
The advance of IA points in spots and
10 in futures at Liverpool, the strength
shown by the New York market, fine
weather for picking and the advance
in spots locally were the bullish fea-
lures, and the horned tribe with these
potent influences tossed prices skyward.
The transactions were large. The mar
