poets in regard to the eastern situation left Liverpool in much better shape than was expected early in the day Advices as regards the drygoods situations were very bul1sh, prices for various branches having been advanced and further advan- ces being considered as quite probable. Many small. followers of the bull lead CTS were shaken out yesterday, this being inscribed as the programme tf the parties in control to get ride of the big army of so-called tailers with a view of start ing a fresh advance to still higher figures later on.
 The general position of the market is as strong as any previous time. The mere fact that very best prices are being paid for actual cotton at all interior towns is sufficient evidence that the bull leaders are working on a sounder basis than the bears pretend to believe Is the case First prices were al a slight decline in small sales but soon there was a steady tone and full recovery with scarcity of sell lers now and then. The port receipts were 210O0, against 25,0OO last year.
 Cables were two to four points lower. Manchester reports were more favorable as to the situation for yarns and cloths. The interior towns. as heretofore, were reporting a moderate movement. Local sentiment was wavering early in the day improved later on.

co:hran z co.,s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, January 27-English traders were again guided by the theory that a reaction in the price of cotton was the next item on the speculative pro- gramme, and cables referred to a seri- ous outlook concerning conditions in the Orient in support of that view, but ad- vices from Manchester again called at tention to the improved business in man. ufactured goods which in conjunction with rising prices for cotton goods on this side, caused local bulls to ignore all opinions that were tempered with pes simsm and instead of reacting, new high records were established here. There is little opposition to the rising tendency of prices in this market notwithstanding that over one-half of the entire stock at all ports is located in this city. the ex- planation may rest in the fact that con- tracts have been sold against such cot ton as is intended for delivery, and with the intervention of a substantial trade demand for spots and American mill rep resentatives looking in this direction for desirable qualities. diminishes the labor of bulls.
 The high level of prices seems to have more influence in occasioning a healthy condition than to impair the situation in any perceptible degree.

Caldwell c Wards cottor Letter.

By H. X E. Beer.
 New Orleans. January 27.-Early Liver pool advices on the whole. were disap- pointing. as they evidently were working on the reaction theory, owing to fears of war in the east Our market, however. opened to 9 points higher. but eased off 1 to 9 shortly after on realizing. The firmness of spots. the light estimated re- ceipts at New Orleans. Galveston and Houston for tomorrow, the later improve nsent in Liverpool, the bullish semi-week- ly interior movement, and the indications of continued light receipts, brought in a good class of buying causing an ad- vance of 37 to 42 points from the bottom making the net gain S5 to Ss points on the day.
 The decreasing tendency of the move ment seems to make short crop advocates more confident, especially as it is gener- ally believed that the next census bureau report will be very bulish and practically confirm their views. In the meanwhile. the strength of spots. and the improved demand for cloths in America. also accen- tuate the optimistic feeling prevalent. and while prices are high, there seems to be nothing at present to cheek the advance. unless the eastern inbroglio assumes a more unfavorable turn. or there is de- cided increase in receipts.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The expected happened yesterday and at the close of business cotton was quoted at 15 cents for good middling. However, there was no special excite ment In the local market due to the scarcity of spot, and no large sales were reported. If such prices had prevailed earlier in the season when spot cotton was plentiful it is safe to say that the decelopment of yesterday would have been decidedly different. Very little of the crop now remains to be sold.
 A number of changes in local secur- tiles are noted. There were no special features In the market, however, and bonds closed very steady.
 Along Morris avenue the only live prop osition seems to be eggs. These are quoted at 22 cents per dozen and the mar ket is plentifully supplied Business con- tinues rather quiet with moderate activ- ity in shipping circles.
 F Staple groceries are quiet and prices are very steady. Only one change in prices was noted yesterday. Rib bellies are off isc. All other lines are steady.

Caldwell 6 Wards Stock Letter.

By Miller Co.
 New York, January 27-Encouragement was accorded to the speculation today by the higher range of prices in London Against this there was continued scatter ing profit-taking after various up and down movements, the advancing tendency of the market reassured itself and the net results of the day was mainly satisfac- tory to the bulls. Baltimore and Ohio con- tinued prominent feature and the group of southern stocks was decidedly strong, due to the profits they expect to realize from the prosperity the south is now en- loving. The Gould stocks were conspicu- ously firm, due to the growing belief that the Cassatt-Gould troubles are settled Pressed Steel Car issues were materially higher, owing to the companys favorable annual report. Realty preferred lost it's early gain of two points and does not look attractive as non-dividend paying in- dustry in comparison with United States Steel preferred by any means. The mar ket closes strong and enhanced values are likely if the public increase their interest in this market
