cothran 6 Co.'S Market Letter.

The first advices from Liverpool were received about the hour of their close, and presumably came via Canada, all communications with New York being suspended as the result of severe storm in that vicinity. The closing prices showed an advance of points on options and spots lost points on sales of 5000 bales. Trading in our market was much re- stricted, but throughout tha day a steady market was observed
 The Atlantic coast storm prevented cable orders for spot cotton being re- ceived; exporters had only few trades to close
 The next complete report will show the amount of cotton ginned up to today, and will compare with 7,070,437 commercial bales last year. Installments will prob ably be received during the present week and the total may be expected around the 25th inst Estimates of the final sum- mary range around 9700,000 bales and are based on the probable capacity of the gins for the number of working days since last report. This does not suggest very bullish situation; at the same time inor- dinate declines should not follow mainly because large crop Is required and is being absorbed by spinners.
 On any advances of note we should think more favorably of the short side on the belief that the December government re- port Is more likely to indicate a crop ad- equate of requirements unless prices should be depressed to levels which would warrant the belief in extraordinary con sumption.

New orIe .na Cotton Market.

New Orleans November 15.-Spot cotton in good demand at full prices, most of the purchases being made for account of foreign and domestic spinners. Sales, 7400 bales, including 1700 to arrive and 100 free on board. Quotations 1-16 higher. The fu- ture market was dull, owing to continued defective wire service. At the opening prices were unchanged to 1 point higher than yesterdays closing. For a time after the opening it looked as if a stiff advance might be made, but free offerings by big bull interests and weak longs checked the advancing tendency. In the trading the active months first advanced 4 to points. but soon lost the improvement. December opened 1 point up al 9.S sold up to 9.S1, and finally declined to 9. D. March opened at 10.02, sold up to 10.07, declined to 10.01. The market closed quiet with net losses of 1 to 3 points

Loveman's Cotton Letter.

By H. 6 B. Beer.
 Photographic cervice was some better today than yesterday but at best it was very poor to New York, and as a result bushes was interfered with to a considerable extent. The storm in New England has about spent it's force and is gradually disappearing and as little or no damage was done along the south Atlantic coast, all apprehension as to the cotton crop having been injured has been removed. Foreign advices were more favorable than generally expected, Liv- erpool spots and futures closing at an advance of four points; sales of the for mer. 1000 bales; middling 5.A. Private cables stated that the firmness of the market was due to spinners calling cot- ton, and Manchester reported yarns ss very firm; cloths quieter. American mar kets were variably influenced by develop ments abroad, New Orleans opening at about unchanged from last nights clos- ing. January. 9S7; afterwards selling at s.9O. Private wire advices from all dis tricts told of there being a much better demand for actual cotton at 1-16 to IS ad- vance, that offerings were light and that wagon arrivals were falling off. There was more activity in local spot market with prices 1-16 higher sales. 4'oo' Y. o. B., TOO. market closing firm.

COTTON MARKET
 IS MORE ACTIVE New York Still Cut Off from

 6o,ooo Bales.
TRADING WAS MORE FREE

New York. November 15.-rhe cotton market was a little more active than yesterday. The wire service was work ing sufficiently well to permit of the receipt of nearly all the southern news, but private wire houses were without the means of communication and New York was cut off from southern business
 The market opened steady at an advance of one to three points in response to rather better cables than expected and reports of cold weather in the belt To- cal operators seemed to be trading a little more freely than on the previous day. Liverpool sent a few buying orders and some of the spot houses were buy- ing. Following the call the list work ed up to a net advance of about five to eight points with December leading while January ruled relatively easy. Wall Street shorts appeared to be selling Jan uary to prevent an advance while buying in December contracts. Later business became less active and during the balance of the session the general tendency was downward A local spot house was quite a liberal seller In the afternoon trading and the market was finally barely steady at a decline of three to seven points, the lowest level of the day. Sales were re- ported of 6oOO0 bales
 The market being so narrow 1t took but comparatively small orders to swing prices, and the fluctuations reflected no alteration in the general attitude of the market.
 Receipts at the ports today were 7,- o4s bales against s41s9 last week, and 115,SS2 last year. For the week S5,OOl bales against 3S1 ,909 last week. and A7,- s97 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 24,2s2 against 3o,O21 last year, and at Houston, S3.2s7 against @,an last year
