 May broke through i3 eoc and then advanced
 sharply to IA. ioc. For some time around
 noon the market heSA from I4.o4c to IA. Ioc with no signs of weakness. In view of the advance of over a cent a pound in a few days and principally no setback, the market acted more like going on to new ground than going lower. It is very uncertain market at this point and until prices work over the l4Kc mark and into new ground we would rather take profits than buy. If the price reaches a new high level, would run our chances on a bulge. to IS cents. The pit today was full of rumors of an advance to IS cents this week. The report was fin circulation that this was to be the program and traders bought on the news. We would watch the market here very carefully and should receipts keep small. buying is likely to carry the price up another cent quickly. Everything is bullish at the moment and yet there evi- dences of big speculation to carry on the advance to new figures: This means the mar kets should be watched. If prices do not get over i4kc, there Is likely to be bad break

MONTGOMERY. Jan. II.-On LiverpooIs s strength this morning New York opened up n1ons 2O points o9t just after the opening. account depressed the market only temporarily ik taking on renewed strength due to the re- 4uction In estimates of the crop and to an evil dent falling of of receipts. Estimates for the half weekly movement indicate a falling nN of 10000 to 1 s, 900 bales. Information from thirty cotton towns in South Georgia and Alabama show that stocks held in ware houses this year only 20 900 bales against a3sQ0O bales last year. All information tends % point to a small crop, and while there may be an effort to curtail consumption, stocks that are held small and a general advance tn prices may be early looked for. The war news Is yerx conflicting. but generally of a more pacific nature. The impression is that Russla Is playing for time. War can only be a Temporarily depressing factor which will Nnon be overcome by the actual demand for the staple, and We favor the long side of this market

Birmingham, Jan. u.-(Special.)-A statement was made today that Auditor Plant of the Southern Railway, after an investigation of some weeks, had made a discovery that the Southern Railway had been the victim of scheme of some sort which has amounted to between $25,- 900 and $75,0OO. No definite statements are made by officials of the system, but it is learned that the fault was in equip ment. brasses. which left the shops in this district not accounted for. General Superintendent Richey of the western division, when questioned this morning, said that the transportatio department had no interest in the matter. The me- chanical department, so 1t seems, is re- sponsible for the leak. No official now connected with the railway is held in any way responsible, though nothing can be learned of legal actions being taken, so far. It is further learned that on Satur- day last the Southern Railway was re- imbursesd $23,0OO. The equipment in- volved Is manufactured in this district. Further sensational turns are expected.

 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. lI.-Liverpool fur nished evidence of a pronounced conversion to the bull side of cotton Cables containing favorable expressions came in such numbers as to outweigh all previous efforts to de- scribe adverse conditions and possibilities. The danger of a real cotton famine Is beginning to haunt the minds of foreign spinners and 1t seems if they bad discarded the prob lem of short time to ascertain if some cotton might still be available for spinning pur poses, since it has developed that spinners who had been cautious enough to provide them selves with an ample supply of the staple. will spin regardless of all short time resolutions, so It is left for other spinners to get neces- sary supplies as best they can
 Favorable Liverpool advices, diminished re- ceipts and more cheerful news from the Orient imparted additional strength to prices here. A further material advance was estab- lished and prices held firm under a brisk gen eral demand. The movement to date has caused some skepticism about extreme short crop estimates. For instance, 2, l4S 900 bales came into sight from Texas and Indian Ter ritory January l, as against ,66i 900 bales last year. while the total crop brought into sight to January l is l37,000 bales in ex- cess of last year. It is argued. however, that high prices brought cotton out with a rush and the good weather facilitated rapid marketing There are consequently many who believe the present moderation in receipts to be the pre- cursor of a perpendicular drop in the very near future. Sentiment is intensely bullish and the market shows a disposition to re- spond quickly to any encouraging events.

lover Private Wire from F. A Longshore & Col
 NEW YORK. Jan. lI.-Activity and the usual excitement characterized the market for cotton futures today. First prices were at an advance of 8 to 2l points. this gain be- ing the result of strong support traceable to bullsh quarters. Shorts were rather nervous and buying from this source attracted consd- erable attention. Liverpool cables firm in tone. but the foreign operations were with out special significance, although they4 fla vored the buying side to a moderate degree. The belief prevailed that the far eastern situ- ation had been pretty well discounted. and the conflicting advices from the Orient at tracted but little attention. On the better levels. the demand less extensive, and 1t was evident that some of the bulls were inclined to take profits on the bulges. Prices eased little from the better points from time to time, but the bears for some req son or other. were not as aggressive as here tofore. Still the demand, for the most part, was pretty well supplied on the top prices. Spot cotton was firm in tone. though transac- tions were small in consequence of a moderate demand and limited offerings. Port receipts were estimated for the week POO 900 bales against 237, GOO bales last week and 225, 400 tales for the sane week last year The indi- cations pointed to continued activity and feverist fluctuations. The estimated port re- ceipts for the day were 39 900 bales against 43 943 bales for the same day last year.
