NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Feb. Spot cotton
nothing doing; traders not disposed to
operate until futures quiet down.
Futures feverish and unsettled. AT the
opening prices were to 16 points higher
than yesterdays closing. Liverpool open
ed with declines of from go to 20 points
but toward the time of the opening of the
local market a good recovery had been
made. This induced better opening in both
the American markets. Shortly after the
opening here liquidation on an immense
scale commenced afresh and the panic OF
yesterday was on again. The excuse for
the scare was worse than yesterday. The
excuse for it was the feeling that war be-
tween Japan and Russia was imminent.
In short time March was 121 points
lower than yesterdays close May lac
lower and July 143 lower at 1850 From
these declines there was a sharp recovery,
the list at the close showing net losses of
"a to 81 points.

Ware H. Leland'S
Cotton Letter.

Raleigh, N c., Feb ), 1904.-It is
hardly necessary to go into details re-
gardng the events OF the week in the cot
ton world. The entire complexion ct
things has been changed and develop.
ments have been OF very sensational
nature. The Northern leader, either as
result OF his own foresight of through
pressure brought to bear by the moneyed
interests he represents, determined to
get out while there was still 4 market
III which a big line OF cotton could be
liquidated. We need not go into dis
cussion Of the motives which led up
to this step. Sufficient to say that Oh
Tuesday the rumor spread that MI. Su!ly
had sold out. This news was sent out
over our wires within a few minutes
after the fact was known to be more
than a canard and while prices we're
over seventeen cents. The whole situa-
ton changed from that moment. mis-
has been the expectation for some time.
There was nothing legitimate in the l5,at
advance of two cents Fer pound anu 1t
was simply a marking up process. As
long as all the bull leaders stood pat
there was no cause for anxiety. The
moment any change came it was evident
there would be a collapse. New Orleans
was evidently left in the lurch this time
Om natural pride in the supremacy OF
the New York market makes Us lar from
sorry that the honors lie in this uirc@-
ton When the selling began no lowe.
could stop the decline, Not the bank al
England, when the time is ripe toT
crash. Now as to the future:
After two or three cents imitation has
been knocked off the price, we can expect
sharp reaction and then any further al.
vance Will depend upon the ability Of the
New Orleans operators to push prices up
This will hardly be possible if the Gin
ners Report next week February Stl0
shows any kind Of a crop. We have been
believers in crop Of between ten ara
a quarter, and ten million four hundred
thousand bales, and see nothing in tue
figures of the movement TO cause us to
change from this estimate. 1t may be
more or less, but receipts do not indicate
less than this. A crop OF this size wall
not warrant bull speculation>at any such
prices. Until there are evidences that
the crop is less, we are not advising the
purchase of cotton
According to Secretary King, OF the
New York Cotton Exchange, the amount
OF cotton brought into sight during the
past week was 21S,538 bales, against 25C,-
S94 bales during the corresponding week
last year, and the total in sight move
ment so far this season amounts tc s.
238 sol bales, as compared with a move
ment of 8,252,977 bales during the CORE
spending period last season.
Receipts at thu ports today were eeti-
mated at 10000 bales. against 1926 bales
last week, and 24,S37 bales last year.
The New York spot market today was
steady and 70 points lower; middling w
lands so; middling uplands gulf l5.75.
The market for cotton futures closed bare
~ steady and irregular.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-War tension today
overcame violent setback in grain prices
due to enormous realizing sales. Losses
of two cents a bushel were made in the
Nav deliveries of wheat, corn and oats,
but the war news offset all other in
fluences and caused a recovery of all the
loss: closing prices being at the top.
Compared with last night today's final
figures were as@1ac. lower for May wheat,
1-Ss niger for corn, with oats unchanged.
Provisions were easier, and May products
