cothran 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By Charles W. Lee 2 Co.
 New York. November 3O.-Prices today reached the top on the crop. If this means anything it means that prices are going higher. When a market reaches a certain figure, breaks, and then goes back above that figure it generally means bull market with higher prices on the way This reasoning seldom fails Had the market stopped at Il 80 after touching Il. 45c on the bulge ten days ago. we should say the bull market was oyer for the time being. But with II .55c quoted today 1t looks very much as though a further advance was pending before the Washington report. We would hardly buy on this bulge, though believing in much higher prices eventually. It is usually good plan to even up before the December third figures and look ~on This year the position is altogether too strong to permit break and all the cotton sold has been taken readily at advancing prices. Today the early buying was done by the big traders and then this cotton came out on the advance. The best peo- pie in the business are believers in high prices this year We cannot change our ideas on the market. It is no market to sell any short cotton. But on such buIges as this before the Washington figures it seems like tempting providence not to take profits on long cotton.

MARKET DRIFTS IN \ NARROW CHANNEL But Small Net Changes Except
 in Special Cases IS FIRM LAYER IN THE DAY Special Accumulation of L. 6 N. and Strength of Frisco Give co'or to
 Belief in Early Dividend
 Distribution.
 
IS FIRM LATER IN THE DAY

New York, November S0.-There was a narrow and dfifting market for stocks today, which resulted in only small net changes, except in special eases. There was some depression manifested during the early part. of the day and this was aggravated by, if 1t is not entirely due, to a disturbance of sentiment in London over therreiterated rumors of trouble be- tween Japan and Russia. Professional traders endeayored to extend the decline here, but they succeeded in bringing out little stock and so covered their short contracts
 The market of the latter part of the day was decidedly firm, but the move ment was small, owing to the dullness of the dealings. The prevailing premiums on some of the industrial stocks in Che loan crowd kept the shorts, uneasy espe- eially in some of those stocks which were sold most freely last week Shorts in Pennsylvania covered freely There was some pressure upon Republic Steel pre- ferred due to the fear that the dividend would be passed during the day The doubts were not dissolved when the mar ket closed with the directors in session.
 
 Louisville and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis gave color to the supposi- ton that an early dividend distribution on that subsidiary stock is in contempla- ton.
 The rise in the. money rate was ignored F the trading, as it was attributed to the Arrangements for the December set dement's. The various movements in the money market were on large scale, but so nearly offset each other as to have It. tie net result. Photographic transfers of $iOoOOO was made to San Francisco and authority exists for the transfer tomor- row to the same point of $1,00O O0a more such a movement is not unusual at this period Last year in the week ending December s, the sum of $1 35O,000 was telegraphed through the sub-treasury to san Francisco. The requirement is for the crops Arrivals of foreign gold, to figure in next Saturdays bank statement already amounts to $1,5OO,OOO, leaving up- Warqs or million engaged previous to today but not received.
 lp addition about $t,50O,0OO was taken In the London market today out of a to- tai arrival in that market of some S2,75o, . 00O There Is a feeling of assurance there fore against more stringency But there IS not much expectation of any considera- bie ease in the money market during the month of December. as funds are likely to be retained at the interior over the yearly settlements. The demand for cer- tain industrials is dead for the present. The market closed exceedingly dull. but steady and near the best. T
 Little was done in the bond market but the tone was steady. Total sales par value, s$2' O24,0o0. United States new 4s de- clined one quarter per cent on the last call.

 Futures opened firm at an advance of 10 to 15 points, and ruled very active during the entire session, the business coming out at the largest total for the season. The activity and strength had no special explanation, being, due apparent ly to the increased confidence of the bullish interests now operating in the market as a result of the nrmness in primary markets. continued light pri- mary receipts and further reports of un- satisfactory crop conditions. The Eu- ropean markets were also higher than considered likely and, while toward the middle of the day the local market eased off about 5 points, it was quickly rallied again by the aggressive attitude of the leading bull interests and was finally net 15 to 25 points higher.
