Cotton Letter.

Especial to the News and Observer
New York, Jan. 20-The market did
not act quite right late yesterday and
bulls had to buy in a way that did not
show inherent strength. For this reason
there was more or less selling this morn
ing and it kept up most of the day. Re
ceipts showed some Improvement at vari"
Gus points. Speculation did not CONC in
to take the cotton off the market, ami
sellers were compelled to accept lower
prices as the day wore on. May opened
at 1882 and sold at SIC during the early
afternoon. There was nothing like heavy
selling, just enough to supply the de-
mand and little to spare. The little TO
spare made the lower level. Liverpool
broke severely several points on selling
from this side and foreigners did not
buy much cotton here today. The market
has reached a point where a break Will
take place unless more support in the
way of speculation is forthcoming. We
would like to see sharp break of TWEEN
ty-five or thirty points. Then we could
say buy and take quick profits. AS it
is, We would wait for break before
buying. The market is long to
greater or less extent and we begin to
compare with small figures in last vonr's
movement. We may have a rather free
movement and the market could not
stand this. All who bought cotton lower
had good profits and we are not inclined
to advise buying at the moment. We
would rather take profits in the hope of
getting back the cotton on break to
at least $40 for May.
Cotton futures today ranged as fol-

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Jan. 20.-The opening actiV-
ity IN stocks today was on the selling
side, and seemed to be due to operations
by room traders based on the weakness
developed at the close yesterday, but
supporting orders were encountered
which put a stop to the efforts of pro-
fessionals TO force prices lower by of
ferino stocks, which, in case of sale,
they would have to borrow for delivery.
On the other hand. the buying orders
were placed On scale downwards for
most part, and the recovery came TO a
stop for lack of active power. A squirt in
the stocks OF New York Public Utilities
helped the recovery, the decision of the
appellate division of the Supreme court
at Albany against the ccnstitutionality
of the New York franchise tax being the
re ason for the buying of these stocks.
The market then fell back into a deeper
rut of idleness than at any time since

Especial to News and Observer
New York, Jan. 20.--Lower cables, in
dication of larger receipts both at the
ports and the interior, We're the depress-
ing influences in todays market. The
chief characteristic outside of the
strength of spot cotton which still pre-
walls is the fact that all parties who
have bought cotton at a lower price have
been realizing their profits and while no
one seems inclined to sell short for low
er prices trade generally seems to await
Developments. The liquidation has
seemingly about spent it's force, and buy
ing, as has been the case recently is
for the large operators who are amply
able to protect their contracts, making
a serious break in prices very improb-
able.
