STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Jan. 2.-The trading on the
stock exchange started with great ANNA
tion this morning and something like q
bulge in prices. Buyers OF Tuesday ana
Wednesday took advantage of the rise
to secure their profits. Prices ran OH
under this process and the market be-
came dull The advance was renewed
again at some points, but the snap seem
ed to be taken out OF the market and &
fairly general selling movement develop
ed in the afternoon when call money
rates stiffened to Is per cent Reading
was vigorously advanced 30 above 60 and
served to steady prices, but the selling
was renewed before the close, which was
highly irregular. Sugar ran off point
below Wednesday,
The opening call loan rate of 10 per
cent revealed stiff demand for funds
but caused no great uneasiness Other
developments pointed to a relaxed con-
dition in the loan market and sterling
exchange market made a sharp break
with the cessation of the demand for
cables to meet the year end settlements
in London, which was a feature last
week Preliminary figures of the weeks
currency movement which runs up to
have gained upwards of $4,000 on the
regular movement with the interior,
while the sub treasury has taken from
the banks 81 900, this indicating a net
gain of about 800 900 for the banks.
The weeks grain exports were disap-
pointing, while the imports of dry goods
at New York rose in value several hun
dred thousand dollars over those of last

last year by over 100000, thus explaining
the large customs collections of the week
The stiffening of the call loan rate late
in the day indicates that there will be
the usual delay in the return of funds
to the channels of the New York mon
ey market, following disbursement Pc
ROD The excitement of the days market
gave rise to conjectures as to whether
the advance in prices simply halts upon
the expected raising of the money rate,
or whether the doubts of last month
over the general situation have recur-

o1rnings for November proved disap
pointing and the late advance in this
stock was unexplained. Other statements
of November earnings showed gross in
creases more than wiped cut by increased
operating expenses. LOUISVILLE ana 81

gains remaining. But these stocks were
rather more affected by realizing than

vanced sharply owing to heavy American
buying and cur market responded by
opening u to 1874 higher. subsequently
declining 8 to 4 on realizing. Later the
bullish weekly statistics and firmness OF
spots caused an advance of II to 13
from the bottom making the net gain
% to "a points on the day. The amount
brought into sight during the week was
327 600 against 371 900 last year, and
the aggregate marketed from September
first to date is 6,S24, 900, against 6,753,0 900
last wear. The visible supply Of Ameri-
can during the week increased $4,000,
against 193, 900 last year, and the total
to date is 9.251 ,O00 against 3,6S9,000 last
year. The statistical position is strong,
and as the amount brought into sight
next week last year was 1868, 900 and the
indications point to another loss of $4,000
OR more this year during the same time
which also means a probable CORE
spending loss in the visible supply it is
only natural that sentiment is extremely
optimistic especially as every bullish es-
innate is anticipated from the census
bureau on January 5th While the ad-
vance has been very rapid it is contend
ed that the situation warrants present
values. Estimates are being reduced
daily in consequence of the lightness of
the movement, and 600 to 10,500,090
seems now to be the popular opinion OF
the final outturn of the present crop. 1t
is also believed that the census estimate
will be around 10,000,000 bales, corrob
Grating the figures issued by this de-
partment on the returns made up to Oc
tober 18th. 1t strikes us that traders
are going from one extreme to another,
and we think after such sharp i'm
provement, it is best to be conservative.
However, with the existing favorable feel
ing values may enhance further unless
receipts increase considerably.

Cotton Letter.

New York. Jan. 2.-The cotton mar
ket today was influenced entirely by the
effort of the shorts to cover. Receipts
continued light, the visible supply
figures were very bullsh and it was sim
ply a case of the shorts finding sellers
who would let them out of their trouble.
We expect that these conditions will pre-
vail for some time to come and before
the short interest is liquidated the price
of March and May contracts will prob
ably be considerably above nine cents.
1t has developed that the January in
terest is heavily short of the spring
options and when they attempted to.
cover today the market simply won't
away from them and at the close was
tending towards much higher nriccs. We
think purchases anywhere under cents
will pay handsome profits in the imme-
date future.

Cotton Letter.

New York. Jan. 2.-The market opened
the New Year with a new rush. AS
though sentiment had been gaining
strength day after day, until nothing
but a grand upheaval would satisfy trad
ers, the operating public came down this
morning and bought in Wholesale fashion.
May opened around $40 or S.72 within a
few points of high point this season. Liv-
erpool advanced seven to eight points
and everything pointed to a confined good
market with increasing rather than de-
creasing activity. For this reason, we
believe in buying on all reccssions and
holding to this side of the market until
there are evidences of change in the
situation. During December, or until the
day following Christmas, the market was
not one to trade heavily in. Now it's a
different story We believe in holding
to the buying side and if the trade be-
comes nervous there can be sensational
developments. You have seen cotton move
cent a pound without hating. There is
lot of steam behind this market and
we can only advise buying on every break
without attempting to set any limits to
the possibilities in the way of an ad
vance We would call attention to the
900 bales less than last year. and while
spinners' stocks are large enough to
make up for this decrease, it is better to
have the cotton out of the way If the
market is to be bulled. Now that feel
ing on cotton is stronger, the absence
of accumulations in any direction, oper-
ates as bull factor. Cotton once bought
does not have to be reckoned with by
those who want to advance prices. There
is this much less cotton to weigh on the
market Then. too. stocks of cotton in
Liverpool amount to 260, 900 bales less
than last year and $1,000 bales less than
two years ago. This makes good adj
vance in prices possible If operators take
the bit in their teeth and say we will buy
cotton. We have said for week or ten
days all we need is business 1t looks
as though we were getting the business
and for this reason all one needs to do
is to stand fast to the bull side until the
tide turns. The movement is liberal in
one sense and in another too moder
ate. To make eleven million bales we
will have to have much larger receipts.
These are not in sight at the present mo-
ment and we may not see free move
ment until February or March. While
receipts are so moderate and the trade
is buying, the tendency of prices should
be upward There is more business than
we have seen in months. Looking at the
situation at the opening of the year, it
is more encouraging than for some time
now. Nothing like overproduction faces
the trade and on the other hand it looks
as though there might be a scramble
to get cotton before the planters let go
again. In every direction the year opens
with sentiment favorable to the market.
AS long as traders are willing to buy
and there is no menacing accumulation
in sight the tendency of the market is
likely to be favorable to purchasers.
Cotton futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Jan. 2.-The cotton market
opened strong at an advance or TO IA

steadily working upward until net rise

this basis the market closed firm me
rise was started by a strong attitude
shown at Liverpool during the holiday
here. Today's cables showed a net rise

On futures. According to private cables
the English advice originated in the ap-
pearance of an active demand from China
and better Manchester conditions, togeth-
er with the disappointing movement of
cotton in this country Notwithstanding
the favorable weather prevailing in most
parts of the cotton belt for the transpor-
taton of supplies from the interior. SUI
perintendent King makes the port re-
ceipts for the week 254,14 against 301,951
last year and the amount brought into
sight for the week $780, 97 against 3S1, 227
last year which brings the amount
brought into sight, according to the New
York Cotton Exchange figures 6,SS7 5S1
bales against 6.S25,73S bales last year
when the crop, according to the Chroni-
Gle was 10.7O1 900 bales. The current de-
mand for cotton at this point has been
based largely on the disappointing move
ment in connection with the record con-
sumption as indicated by the absorption
of cotton this season. Shorts who have
been depending upon a larger volume OF
receipts have been actively buying to
cover, while the public demand has been
further stimulated by strong spot cotton
markets throughout the cotton belt, these
generally showing an advance of lie to
3-16. Large exports were also factor in
today's rise with Wall street interests
leading the demand throughout the ses-
sion. Total sales of futures $50 900 bales.

B1ACKLEY BOUND OVER TO COURT.
Hearing Before Mayor Yesterday Bond Put
atS4.5OO.

The case of J. C.. Blackley, the horse
dealer, who is charged with embezzling
some $4,000 from a dealer named Meadow,
of Agricola, Kansas, was heard before
Mayor Powell yesterday afternoon, with
the result that Blackley was bound over
TO court in bond of $4,000. which he
gave.
The case was fought hard by both sides.
Mr. S. G.. Ryan and Col. J. c. L. Harris
defending Blaczley, and Messrs. Argo &
Shaffer appearing on the other side.
The charge against Blacl1ley was that
he sold several car loads of mules in Raj
eigh and other places for Meadow and
then did not turn over the money Black
ley claims he was Meadows partner, and
Meadow claims Blackley was merely
working for him as an agent, on COM
mission on sales. This was the question
argued yesterday, whether Blackley was
Meadows agent of partner,
There was another charge against
Blackley by man named Lyle, but this
was nol-prossed.
