R. IT. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 TBy Special Leased wirel


 NEW YORK, Jan. l4--We were very much discouraged over the action of prices yesterday. It looked as though the improvement would have to start from lower level all because there were no buyers to keep the market ac- tive and too many selling for further b eaks. But today it looks as though the imp ovement might start at any moment Of course this may prove as much of a delusion the de- cline We feared yesterday. That remains to he seen. The tone today was about as strong as if was weak yesterday. May sold up to 8. 70 after touching S.6l and S,55 last week. So far the buyer declines has had the best of the market. For the simple reason that on each break prices have not worked as low as the break on Tuesday last That there has not been much profit in So doing is evident. But later developments should bring quick Glrofits. The position was stronger. But specu- lation is not large enough to take the cotton and carry on an advance at the same time That cotton is being taken care of is very evil dent lot Of 1t has been sold by one holder and another and a lot by&the eelipsed Jsnu- ary bull pool. In fact. more bea ish bule- tins than those coming from the former bull could not be imagined It was remembered that a bis January was talked of and pre- pared for. The $500. ooo-bale crop figures were issued by the bull press. What became of the corner? Why are ti.too 900 bales issued now, the crop figures when the po- eition never strong? It's a rather long story. but an interest ng one Somebody Is of the bear bulletins seat out is sufficient evil deuce of this But the market don't break selling. selling, selling, We would like to see a little support as light advance in prices and see the short interest try to cover. That would test the position As 1t is the tone shows resistance to pressure and from many points Of view, the market looks as though 1t wanted to go up. Every is timid. We are buying side all breaks. When the market shows it's coIors, 1t will be different mat ter We wouli rather buy freely at S,S5 than heavily at the moment When the advance starts one can buy with little risk At the moment 1t is up and down to a degree that makes conservative buying on every weak spot the best policy to pursue.

NEW YORK. Jan l4-Prices opened Iei3 points higher, but there was very little do ng and next to nothing in the way of fresh in- formation 1ustifyng taking hold with conf dence The. most inlpo tant development was the Liverpool showing of quite a good advance and expectation of her entering the ma; ket as m active feature before many days on the small supplies there. Receipts continue to run light everywhere. Here and there wc near reports of some cotton yet to be moved on free scale. but, as cviously stated, there is no reason for suppOsing that thc amount Of such cotton is more than the average at this season of the year. The Wall Street bear leader announces that he is making inquiry of the railroads in tho South as to the extent of the movement being impeded by scarcity of cars and the mere fact that he is at this date revtving the car famine scare is regarded as showing the desperate s tuation of March and May shorts. Eastern miIls were understood to be willing to pay higher prices for better grades. Receipts at ports were estimated ct S7. 900. against 32 900 fast year. Cables were lG3 points higher New York was easier after the opening. but Liverpool buying arrested the lower tendency.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The bulls held the rena in the grain pits today and the markets wero strong and active, May wheat closing were A0ssc higher Provisions closed hIm' May pork being 71kc higher May lard un- changed and ribs a shade lower.
 Wheat ruled strong and active, with the chief incentive to higher prices being the con- tinued demand for May by the most prominent bulls, although higher cables and small receipts were strengthening influences early in the day The leading long was reported to have added materially to hs al: eady big line and this fact acted as a damper on the sellers and In con sequence offerings were rather limited There was good cash demand reported from the Northwest and the seaboard was again an active buyer May opened a shade to 1sGAc higher at 76isa76Ss and sold up to v and cIosedl isc higher at 76Ad77. Clea ances of wheat and flour were equal to 3s4 oo bushels 900 year ago.

 There was a good trade in corn and the sen tinent was generally bulish on big export demand and a heavy cash business here. sales being reported at over 200 900 bushels. The opening was strong on higher cables and small receipts snd the market held firm on good general demand for futures from commission houses, while shorts covered freely in the Jan uary delivery. offer ngs of January stufg were hard to get and more strength was manifested in that month than in the more distant fu- tures the price going up to 491z and opening iac higher at 47% May closed a@Ac higher at 44kW44&. ranging between 44is and 441s.

 Oats were given open support by longs and an active and higher market resulted Com mission houses were also good buyers and there was some covering by shorts. The sell ing ~sas chiefly in the way of liguidsiion. Small receipts and a firm cash demand were bull factors. The close was strong with May lsaD5Sc h gher at 35ls after selling between 34h and 35S. Local receipts, Io4 cars.
 Provisions were dull and the opening was weak on liberal receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yards. There was a rally on the strength in grain and on active demand from brokers for January pork and most Of the early loss was regained.
