 rRv prtvafa Wire

NEW YORK. Feb. Io.-The natural result of unexpected bulge yesterday was reac- tionary movement in the early market today. This was expected. after the biggest days y some time Profit taking was the order. the morning cables were rather below expectation, while There was more rain in Texas and the Southwest generally. The receipts promised to be only moderate, put the feeling in the trade was as bullish ever. although 1t was felt that we might witness a reactionary move ment of greater or less magnitude. although 1t seemed at times if nothing could prevent a further big advance. In some quarters; how ever, 1t was felt that the market would i'm prove more promptly if prices would ease off 50 as to enable belated buyers to come In. As before stated, the main bear argument con- tinues to be the unpicked cotton. This has grown stale and receipts as they are showing up are preferable a factor to receipts as they may turn up. Port receipts today were estimated at 3S GOO. against 32. 900 last year. Prices rallied after the opening, but there was not much business up to noon bears were making desperate efforts to break the market without success. Cables were quiet and un- changed to 2 points higher.

R. M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK, Feb. io.-There was less busi- ness. less excitement, less advance and more feverishness in the market today Manipuia- tfon in May continued and May was advanced to a Ie-point premium over July. This is en- tirely artificial and Is likely to play havoc with the trade. People are not apt to rush into the market at this level under these con ditions. Many want to know what all this means It seems to be the same as January q repetition of that move A crowd of New England people buying May in unlimited guar titles and selling July at the same time We don't know what the outcome will be. Manipulation in the Spring Is likely to carry the price very high. Conditions are still Ia vorable to the market, but some of the best traders out waiting developments Cotton that has been held for some time was sold yesterday and today and while selling has been liberal the tone is not affected by 1t in the least. There is nothing like this market We should advise profit taking and would not in sight yet and we may have ea for May before the move stops There Is nothing to sell cotton on but it's bad place to buy. On quick break, buy for @ reaction.
