Cotton Letter.
ESPECIAL to News and Observer

New York Feb. cit took the pur-
chase of %, 900 bales to put May to nine
cents this morning. The bull crowd
bought this much and carried May to
9.O1. Then in five minutes May was sos
and soon 897. 1t would have taken
twenty-five thousand bales more to put
May back This is not encouraging.
We are not satisfied that cotton is as
strong as il looks. We admit we can't
discover a single weak point in the gen
eral position but there must be some
reason for the absence OF speculation
when a good buying movement would
carry prices up easily. 1t must be. there
is a pile of cotton to come forward that
prevents big advance. Those who have
been bulling cotton for some time have
to buy big blocks to carry on the ad
vance. And yet New Orleans sold spot
cotton one sixteenth of a cent higher
than any previous price this season, sold
it in large quantities at that. The May
spot cotton being bought is nothing short
of phenomenal. And yet the future
market hardly keeps pace with spots.
Why does not it lead? Why is there no
disposition to believe July cotton worth
SIC. or 9kc.? We simply know there Is
such disposition and cannot account for
the reason. AS long as there is no specu
lation, as long as the future market Is
being bought up by two or three people,
we would continue to take profits on
every advance.

amount brought into sight for the week
was $4,000 against 1900 last year, and
the total marketed from September 13t
to date has been S242, 900 against 8,146.-
600 last year. The visible supply of
American during the week decreased
112, 000 against a decrease of 1876, 900 last
year. The thirty leading interior towns
during the week received 1874 900. against
1900 last year. Secretary Hester :
Texas statement shows that $40, 900 were
delivered from that State during Janu-
airy, against 3S4 900 last year and 1884,
900 year before last. The aggregate de"
livered out of Texas from September 15t
to January 31st, inclusive. was 2,284O0O
against 2,3S90OO last year and 2,746, 900
year before last, therefore il there is 10
more to be delivered from now out than
last year the indicated crop of Texas is
2,947,000 and if there is as much as
year before last it indicates a crop OF
3,346,000 There has been more differ
ences of opinion on this States outturn
than any other and from the above data
5000, 900 bales looks like a minimum fig
ure. Most all authorities agree that the
other States will aggregate about 5000,
600. According to the visible supply fig
ures of today the takings of American
cotton for the week have been 1863, 600
against 100000 last year AS per Mr.
Ellison issuing the consumption of Amer
lean this year to be 1880 900, against
100000 last year, spinners this week
have added to their stock 159, 900. against
100000 last year, and the mill stock today
in Europe and America would amount
to 100000 against l ,485, 900 last year.
Sentiment continues very bullish How
ever supply will ultimately Regulate
values. H. & B. BEER

standing very satisfactory cables from
the bull standpoint, We're disposed to con-
slider the advance of yesterday worthy
of a reaction. This tendency soon gave
way, however to wave of general buy
ing for both accounts that soon carried
values above the best prices of yesterday,
after which the market ruled Father ir-
regular but displayed a generally firm
undertone with final prices net unchang-
ed to points higher. Total sales of flu
lures estimated at 300, 900 bales. The fac
tors in today's strength were the con-
tinued unfavorable weather in the South
which threatens to retard the movement
next week: the fact that while the in
sight amounted to some 259. 900 bales was
quite up to expectations, the visible sup
ply statement would still show a decrease
for the week, the continued firmness at
New Orleans and Liverpool; the large eX-
ports and strong spot situation. At nine
cents considerable pressure was direct
ed against the May option and all through
the session there was selling for profits
based partially on the reaction theory
and partly on the larger movement to the
ports which for the day exceeded those
CT last year by about 5000 bales. The
estimates for tomorrow's receipts at Gal
weston, New Orleans and Houston also
showed margin over last years actuals,
and this undoubtedly restricted bullish-
ness but on the other hand there seemed
no disposition to sell aggressively, and
the close was within l to points of the
best for the dav.

The contract market. under the influ-
eGce of favorable cables and better
feeling in New York opened UP four to
five points and despite the active de-
mand at full prices that had developed
for spots, the local market fell under the
influence of the heavy movement of cot
ton into sight as compared to this week
last year and there was some pretty brisk
selling to the end that the figures were
forced down slightly, the board at the
close showing net gains of one to two
points.
