Especial to News and Observer
New York, Jan. From the action of
the market all that we can learn of the
January deal, it seems that it will not
be necessary to refer to this option as
market factor again this season. What
promised to be one OF the severest corn
ers on record is thing of the past If
news is reliable We cannot help con-
graduating all interested in the market
that the deal fell through. Nothing could
be worse for the market. The inconsist-
ent change of position by the January
leader. is the direct result of some diff
ferences of opinion over the January
notices. At least these are the rumors.
They explain the bearish manifesto so
perfectly that we can't help listening to
them If rumors are true cotton is likely
to go higher, rather than lower, and we
would, therefore, buy on any break.
The market today acted about as was to
be expected. Following the twenty-five
point break, prices recovered twenty
points before one had time to think. AS
was to be expected also the price had
setback from SIS to SIS. Then prices
improved. Profits taken on the cotton
bought on the break seemed to be a gen.
eral development of the day, and then on
the later decline the cotton was taken
on again. That is to say, the majority
believe the market to be a bull market
with an advancing tendency and are
playing with that end in view AS
through December, we had one kind Of a
market Now we are in new ground and
a very different sort of trade. Business
is good. interest active and sentiment
favorable. Until we have such large re-
ceipts that big crop estimates again pre-
vail, there should be no decided break
in the market No such movement is in
sight now. A great many have followed
what appears to be the misleading move
on the part of a very conspicuous ex-
member of the exchange, and this has
caused free liquidation. Some have gone
short and the market is in fine shape
to boil with any kind of bull leadership.
We would like to see someone come in
at the present juncture and take a few
thousand bales of cotton. There would
be a merry time as the price worked to-
wards &c. The situation is such as to
lend itself to speculation, and good buy
ing now will carry the market up as
easily from $40 as from $40. We would
buy cotton again on another dip, but in
the event of an advance tomorrow we
would take profits by all means. If
this is a bull market, May should not
sell as low as S.55 on the decline.
Cotton futures ranged as follows
