BANTER & CO.'S LETTER

Say JnPnn-Russian Squabble Has
Caused DisGuieting Feeling AbrOard
New York, Jan. 4.-Pronounced
weakness was shown In the early mar
ket to-day. The situation was not
quite clear from a statistical stand
point at the hour of opening, but
enough was known to show that re-
ceipts were not falling off to any great
extent. Cables were poor, and the
Japan-Russia squabble appears to
have caused a disquieting feeling in
the foreign markets. At all events,
when we opened, the Liverpool mar
ket looked pretty shaky.
Liquidation here was on a rather
large scale, but there were a few re-
ports that the South generally is
pretty bare of cotton at uncounted
towns, and if this be true, we may
seem to witness a sharp falling off.
First prices were at decline of 40 to
so points, with very large sales in
March delivery. Then prices rallied
and it became known that the gin
ners report would be issued to-mor-
row. This made shorts anxious, mas
much as a bullish report is regarded
as a foregone conclusion in spite of
a bearish report by Neill to-day, who
claims a crop of 11,25O,OOO final. Re-
ceipts at the ports for the three days
estimated at 10000 bales, against the
same figures last year. Warehouse
stocks is $4,000. The movement at the
close of the year was 6,928, 000 against
6.797 900 last year. Estimates for to-
morrow: Houston, $4,000, against H.
ia last year; New Orleans, $4,000,
against 1888; Galveston, $4,000,
against 1854 last year.

WARE & LELAND's LETTER.
Think That the Bloom Is of the
Rye" as They Predicted.

Think Tint the "BIOOm Is of the
Rye" as They Predicted.
New York, Jan. 4.-Prices broke 65
points at the opening this morning,
which was just about the rise a week
ago. Prices have advanced from 40
to 60 points over night, but this is
the first experience of the other thing.
The break carried the level about a
cent and a half from the high point
of the movement, and a lot of long
cotton came out on stop orders At
13c a lot of cotton had been ordered
sold, and when the early crash car
ried May to 1880 and 12.S0c, the cot
ton had to be sold for what it would
bring. This forced selling caused
nervousness all through the day, and
as the news of war was not favor
able the situations failed to appeal to
the majority. 1t will not be forgotten
that the day of the first break we
said THE bloom is off the rye" This
will become more evident as we go
on. 1t is more generally believed to-
day than 1t was on Tuesday.
The tone to-day seemed fairly steady
after the early weakness. Steady on
the decline, as the expression goes.
When the 1425c of last Monday is COM
pared with the 1325c of to-day the
outlook is somewhat different. The
census report will be received to-mor-
row and this will steady the market
IL unfavorable. The situation does not
appear to us favorable for purchases
at the moment. There is nothing to
buy cotton on as long as receipts keep
up. There is too much cotton for
sale by commission houses. On any
advance, do not fail to take profits.

TURPENTINE The turpentine
market continues firm at 56Ac. In
fact a prominent exporter bought
about all there was to be had on the
local market at that price yesterday
while some of the factors retained
stock, it was because they refused to
let all of their spirits go at those
prices, believing that the market will
go still higher. The indications now
are that higher prices are bound to
prevail, on the assumption that the
present crop will no more than meet
the consumptive demand, and that the
market is bound to climb the ladder.
Sales 259 casks, exports $50 casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market contin-
ues firm at quotations. While there
were no sales reported at the Board
of Trade at the markets close, it is
not an indication that the demand
has in any way lessened. Owing to
the HOLIDAYS and the cold weather
but little rosin is being offered on
to cut samples. The receipts yester-
day were 5,213 barrels, and the exports
$3.50 barrels.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Ian. 1.-The cotton mar
ket opened weak at a decline of "a
to 63 points under liquidation, and SELL
ing that appeared for short account in
esponse to lower cables. the disquiet-
ing war news over the holidays, con-
tinued fun receipts, and a bearsh crop
estimate by trade authority.
Influence by these various items and
also by the uncertainty as to the show
ing of the ginners report to be made
public tomorrow, the market at first
Was very weak with March selling
down, to T. zoe. May. to u soc: and
July, to u SOC, before the call was
fairly completed. This represented a
DECLINE since the closing prices of last
Thursday of SIS to GO points on these
positions and added to the declines
of last week, had the effect of bringing
a bout a good deal of buying on the
ground that the market was due for
IA reaction if only from speculative
causes.
Reports from the South also were
very buIlish as to the attitude of hold
ers. and as to the amount of cotton
remaining in the interior and there
was soon a rally of from 80 to 40
points. counting from the lowest.
on the advance. houses with New
Orleans connections were good, buy
ers, and the local bull leader also sup
ported the market. At the same time
there was enough liquidation to halt
the advancing tendency after March
had sold at 10 Csc: May at. 13.20c, and
July at, 13 23c. Afterward. the mar
ket became less active. ruling irregu-
lar within a range of about 10 points
of those figures until wen along in
the afternoon. Then a renewal of un-
settling news from abroad, predictions
OF a verv bearish census bureau re-
port tomorrow, and the continued full
movement started profit taking for the
account of early buyers, and the mar
ket resumed it's downward tendency
closing barely steady at net decline
OF q to 40 points. Sales were est-
mated at 500 600 bales
