kOpeClaI TO News and OBSERVER
New Orleans, Jan. 31.-Liverpool was
better than anticipated and our market
in sympathy opened / to 2 higher, sub
sequently eased off / to 2 on realizing
owing to the large port and interior re-
ceipts. Fresh buying however,. pcca
stoned an improvement of 4 points from
the bottom later but when this demand
was filled prices gave way slightly MAX
ing the net gain points on the day.
The strong statistical position and the
claims freely circulated that the crop
would be smaller than the consumptiye
requirements of the world have been in
strumental in causing an advance of over
a cent o pound In the meanwhile spin
ners have Stacked up heavily On that
hypothesis and now hold in their re-
serve supplies over 400 900 bales more
than last year. Such being the case
they are fortified against any marked
advance from the present level and have
taken $4,000 less relatively than last year
during the past three weeks even though
the optimistic feeling throughout this
period has been more acute. Therefore
it will be seen that they are in a posi-
ton TO draw on their reserve stocks if
forced to do 50 by any additional ad-
Vancement and will probably restrict
their takings on any decline warranted
by any movement and weakening of the
statistical situation. The receipts both
at port and interior are largely and i'll
dications are that they will continue
liberal. Every one, however, is bullish
inclined and for any decline to be estaO-
lished it will require a continuance of
Increased receipts.

(Speclal TO news anu ODSeFVeI')
New York Jan. 31.-A stock broker
SAID this morning that he knew of TWEEN
ty-fve firms whose brokers had lot done
a stroke of business since the opening Of
the market. This is really the cause of
the dullness in the cotton market For
some reason OF other speculation does not
appeal to people 1t is either because
they have lost money of late or because
they have other uses for their money.
We leave you to decide which. This
much is certain. There is no speculation
in cotton and we don't see just where
the speculation is coming from. With
out speculation there must be an enor-
nous demand for actual cotton to put
the markeI over nine cents. It is the
old story about the strength of the posi-
ticn One firm sent out fifty kilograms on
Thursday stating the market was in new
ground and here was the chance to buy
cotton. Not an order. Next week we
have large receipts compared with small
receipts last year. This is likely to
cause a halt in the advance. We would
like to see how the market acts under
large receipts. In the interval we would
take profits on all advances and go very
cautiously on the buying side. 1t will
TCquir" large and continued receipts to
start selling in the future market. If We
have a good setback next week one can
take some cotton without danger. In
fact the majority look for a little tenn
porary setback. At least the market is
not likely to advance much on the larger
movement. If receipts are big and keep
big we will break. If not the advance
Will be resumed. In the meantime there
is likely to be q halt. Futures today

and the gamblers will have little chance
OF delaying their trials.
Now that the preliminary hearing has
been waived the defendants can not
attack the complaint in the case in
hopes that a technical error can be
found on which they may escape The
manner in which the case was brought
and the crime was charged must now
stand.
1t is now expected that the plan of
battle of the attorneys for the four de-
PENDANTS will be dericted against the
Cubbison anti-gambling law. The evil
denee against the four defendants, if
60 or more witnesses are put on the
stand in the district court will be
overwhelmingly against them. The
only step left will be for an appeal to
the supreme court in hopes that the
verdict. if it be guilty. will be reversed
and that the case will be sent back for
new trial. Judge Hazen will be
quite careful in his rulings and the
chances of error on the part of the
court will be small The attack
against the validity of the law can then
be made in the supreme court The
Cubbison law has never been tested
