Baxter 6 Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York. August 29.-There was a fine advance in the Liverpool market to- day and spot prices rose to I'd. Last year at this time the price was 1-32d. The weather was good, but there were still any number of poor crop accounts at hand. Though from private sources ex- pectation of a bulge Is pretty general, based on the manufacturers situation, the need for cotton will be keenly felt before long no matter how high the price may be and the belief is that the market is bound to rise until there is enough cotton in the hands of mills to permit them to feel comfortable. This applies particularly to foreign consum- mers and 1t is there where we shall wit ness the greatest anxiety to secure sup plies. The coming two weeks will be very interesting and probably very ex- citing as we'll Liverpool stocks are now down to 244,000 loss of 46.000 for the week, and this makes the stock 192O00 less than last year. The market opened at an advance of to II points on &C., tive dealings, October being the favorite month The buying of this month and September was heavy and offerings few. Commission houses were doing more business. Shorts everywhere were cov- ering. Port receipts but 300 against 19,000 last year.
