N. 6 2. Beer,s Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. l.-Heavy buying in Liverpool by @ large American firm influenced that market favorahly an1 prices here respond cd by opening i2@ie points higher. Subse- quentiy reports of snow throughout the eastern section of the belt and in portions of Mis- sissippi and the fear that unfavoreble weather would set in generally. coupled to the firmness of spots, caused an aditional advance of IS @ie points. The market ruled steady through out the session until near the close, when real tzing superinduced a recession of ii@l2 points from the top. making the net gain lS@2o points on the day. Cables from Liverpool claim that a further advance is expected as the distrfhution of cotton is strongly in favor of the continent. Lancashire being nearly bare of stock and the mills are doing better than reported. The census bureau report will be is- sued tomorrow at Il o'clock, our time, and will give the amount ginned to Nov. i4th and the ginner's esti mate of the crop. The ma tortty Of operators believe the document will be very bullish and snch conclusions will to be we'll founded. judging from the estimate given by the ginners last year about this time, which was 9. 9.soo.oo0. and the outturn was io.72e, 900. or e2.oo0 in excess of their figures. Every one. however, Is prepared for a census and bureau estimate of 10000. 900 and under and some claim these figures are dis counted. This is questionable, but should these reports promulgate larger estimates than generally anticipated, 1t will have a tendency to depress the market.

A. 3. Baxter 6 uo's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The feeling today in the cotton market was intensely bullish; in fact, as the days so by the market seems to gain strength. The foreign situation today was strong The crop news as a rule was all one way. Everything points to short yield, although we hear the usual annual re- ports of bulging warehouses, but these agreed to be exceptional. Sellers are dlstating their own terms and shorts everywhere are panic-stFicken. Nothing stands in the way of . further big spurt but the movement. This is agreed to be very large but 1t is known that it represents unusually rapid marketing and in spite of it prices continue to soar. Outsiders are entering the market regardless of whether the price Is dear or cheap. or req eonahle. The bull fever is on to stay until there is better evidence of a yield in excess of requirements Heavy buying at the opening advanced the market I2920 points. Shorts covered on a large scale. Liverpool was ex- cited and higher and no attention was paid to receipts because the ginner's report will ap- pear tomorrow and nobody cared to take chances Prices simply scared during the morning, Sellers retired and buyers seemed to be growing more and more confident. The bull leaders were vigorously supporting. Cables rose 2b02e points and Manchester was very drm. Port receipts were estimated at 92, 900. against 56.ooo last year.

kby FrfVate wire From C. w. Lee O COL
 NEW YORK. Dec. l.-It is just as might have been foreseen. Commission houses had a lot of cotton bought all the way from 10 to n cents. Above lA and l Ih 1t looked like running in the face of providence not to take profits. The majority of holders have been doing that for several days. As a result when the Liverpool market went wild this morning there was cotton for sale March ran up fo II.97 and is likely to cross 2 cents But this is always the way in speculation. When you make a good play get big money and take profits; there Is kick coming because sou did not wait and get more out of 1t. If. on the other hand. the market had broken. there would have been Q kick It's a kicking game at best. But we have found that in the long run it's advisable to take profits such big advance as we have had this Fall. And not regretting the cotton sold around I.50. though 1t now looks like l2 cents. It can be replaced on the first break. A break in the market at this level means a break of anywhere from 70 to 30 points. We eee nothing fin the cotton situation to cause us to change views. There will be plenty of chances to get in before the end of Janu- ary a setback and make more money. We have not been inclined to the buying side for the last 40 points. though the market had every sign of going higher. We would rather take profits and await the Government report. Prices are getting up to a point where 1t is wise to proceed very cautiously Conditions are such that there is nothing in the past to go on. Sales. I,2oo, 900.

Big Advance at the Opening Fol- lowed By Realizing But Close Shows Gains of 16
 to 24 Points.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The cotton market opened strong at an advance of i2@lS points predictions regarding the probable showing of the census bureau report expected tomorrow at noon which will show the amount of cot- markets and a belief that there was stin considerable short interest in the market likely to cover before the bureau report. Before the opening sentiment was % very suilisa a. and @ & ex- ton before the day was over. On the initial advance, however. which was attended by great activity and excitement. there was heavy realizing by bull operators who were appa- rently reducing their lines, possibly with the Intention of getting into better position for again supporting prices in case of any decline, and this was heavy enough to ease prices of few points. But at once there was another rush of covering and buying orders that seemed to come from all points of the compass and started prices upward and before midday De- cember was selling at i.66; January. l.z6; March, Il.e7; May. ll.66, and July. | .97. After this fluctuations were very irregular; reaction then the market would be rallied again. selling within . point or two of the previous high level: The local bull leader bought aggressively all the afternoon, taking large amounts of March, while there also was huytng by New Orleans bull interests and dur ing the entire session the market showed a gnod, firm undertone. The close was down several points from the best, but was steady ct ner advance of l6@2 spoints. Sales were about million bales. Receipts for the day were full and the estimates for tomorrow q movement had full average, but speculation is centered on the probable showing of the census report and other factors have little immediate influence particularly In view of ehe continued flrmness of spot markets and reports of increased activity among buyers for New England spinners.
 Receipts at ports today. 74.ee3 bales. against 1O3 oe4 last week. and 56. l7l last year; for the week. 36o. 900, against S77.6s3 last week and 926,o7l last year: Today's receipts at New Orleans were lS.602 bales. against le.- el4 last year and at Houston ls, l79 bales, against I2. l64 last year.

WHY IT SUCCEEDS. Because It's For One Thing Only, and Phoenix Is
 Learning This,

Nothing can be good for everything.
 Doing one thing well brings success.
 Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only
 They're for sick kidneys.
 They cure backache, every kidney ill.,
 Here is Phoenix evidence to prove it.
 L. S. Dunbar, proprietor of the fruit and cigar store, 8 North First Avenue, residence 576 North Seventh Ave, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are not a new remedy to me. We first used them in our family several years ago when liv- ing in Marietta, Ohio. where they are considered q household necessity They are the finest remedy for backache or any symptoms of irritated or weakened kidneys on the market. Shortly after moving here some three years ago symptoms of recurrence of kidney trouble in our family became evident and we tried to get Deans Kidney Pills at several drug stores. They knew nothing about them and we sent to our druggist, MT. Styer, of Marietta. fer supply. Noticing them advertised in Phoenix last winter when we re- quired them we procured them at the Brisley Drug Co.'S store. They are a necessity in our household particularly so when compelled to drink the water in Phcenix. On every occasion when their use is required they have never failed to bring prompt relief"
