Baxter C Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York. February 7.-The Chronicle was without special interest. Dry goods reports contine very bullish. The Liver pool market was quite strong Prices there advanced to 4 points in conse- quence of our further rise of 4 to 6 points yesterday. arising from the visible supply showing a sharp increase Bears are prophesying an enormous movement, but this remains to be seen. There is nothing going to show that receipts will be abnormally heavy in the near future. Weather has improved to increase re- ceipts to much larger extent. People have been scared from entertaining any ring on the market on account of the bugaboo of rntold quantities of unpicked cotton, but Is now suspected that the parties most actively spreading such stories has been quietly picking up cot ton of late. The crop may be large. but the surroundings have assumed such a bullish phase that 1t is hard to see what IS going to prevent cotton going higher.

PRIVATE CABLES ARE GOOD

New York February 7.-The cotton market opened firm and quite excited at an advance of 3 to points and imme- diately developed still more pronounced strength and activity. March contracts which closed last night at s.s5 were soon selling at s.O4. while May, which had closed at 9o1 showed 9.12 The rapid ad- vance here was due chiefly to unexpected strong public and private cables. The latter stated that the foreign advance was due to the strong statistical figures of last night cabled from this side Egypt ian cotton spectators were reported to have re-entered the Liverpool market active buyers. The spot situation at Liverpool was called particularly strong with spinners driven to the purchase of the more remote future deliveries in an effort to secure call on supplies need ed against orders for goods already in hand or expected. The south was an ac- tive buyer at New York. The western grain contingent also bought freely. It was rumored that the late bear leader had finished covering his shorts and now stood heavily long of the market. There was still buying by export houses July anu august were lTdderb showed indifference to bad weather re- ports from the south. saying this was discounted by estimated receipts. Few parties were disposed to secure profits; but this proved ipsufficient for the in- creasing demand and the market at the last showed strong under tone.
