New York Cotton Futures.
Baxter & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, January 26.-Unsatisfactory
advices came from Liverpool this MORN
ing, the market there falling to move for
ward as expected. This was due to the
war clouds and foreign buyers were not
slow to avail themselves of the more
threatening aspect of affairs. AS regards
cotton itself the situation has by no
means weakened. On the contrary the de-
mand continues active and the supply
shows signs of exhaustion. Manufacture
ers are recognizing the changed situation
and what is more sellers consider it dam
gerous to stand in the way of a higher
market.
In fact the higher the market goes the
less opposition is shown by the remnant
of bear force. The opening sales were
no anxiety to sell and at once there was
no anxiety to sell dnat once there was
a recovery and subsequently advance was
recorded especially in July which sold I'D
to 1850, soon after the market opened
The bulls in New Orleans were reported
as securing the country for all of the
available supply of spot cotton. The gem
eral belief is that the high prices has at
tracted cotton to market very generally
and that the interior is bare of supplies
as never before. A fall in supplies is not
improbable beginning with the coming
week. Liverpool closed at to points net
advance. Outside buying here was again
heavy, and by good people, holders at
three cents profit were unprepared to sell.
Port receipts today were 5000, estimated.
against SO, asa.

Caldwell 8 Wards Stock Letter.

BY Miller & Co.
New York, January 26.-There was con-
siderable European settlement in the
stock market during the morning hour,
the reactionary tendency being quite pro-
nounced In a number of directions. Scat
tered liquidation due to the far eastern
situation was awaited of by the bear fac
ton for raiding purposes, but at no time
was the market of a bearish character.
In the afternoon selling pressure dimin-
ished perceptibly and In the final deal
ings there were hasty movements to
cover shorts, the market making sub
stantial recoveries at figures generally
higher than last year. A sharp advance
was scored in Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad In spite of reports of no pro-
gress made towards consolidating the
southern iron companies. Locomotive
was persistently bought all day on div
idend rumors, smelters being taken all
the while based on actual facts, The
company earned 10 per cent and has q
surplus of $12, 000,0 900 and the common
stock should double itself in time.
