WARE & LELAND's LETTER.
Think Cotton Market Has But One
Inevitable End, to Break.

New York, Dec. 31.-A week ago the
cotton market was making new rec
ords daily, and there seemed to be no
limit to the advance. In the twink
ling of an eye. all this has changed.
The accumulations of months are now
being thrown on the market, sales be-
ing made at any price the buyer de-
sires to pay. Yet all this cotton can
not be sold in an hour or a day. The
value of cotton plays no part in a
market, where liquidation is on. AS
stop loss orders are reached the avail
anche gains in momentum, and car
ries with it widespread loss. 1t is the
same story of over speculation, in
hation, and overstaying the market.
There is but end of all of this sort of
thing, one inevitable end. Something
must break. No one ever knows how
or when. 1t simply ends in collapse.
The year closes under conditions OF
such excitement, as results from en-
forced buying week after week, end
ing with equally frantic selling in the
effort to get out. 1t needed no cas-
sandra like spirit of prophecy for the
letter of last week, when all holders
were begged to take profits before it
on, one could sell. By overstaying, a
market would come where prices break
so rapidly there is no chance to get
out. All this has happened and it may
be the end is not yet.
Cotton is very high. A crash under
10 cents may bring out more cotton
than can be taken care of. and the
decline continued. Until some idea of
the crop can be had through the census
report and the January movement, it
is, as yet no market to buy for in
vestment. on a good break from 10
cents, we would not hesitate to begin
moderate purchases for a sharp re-
action. But cotton so bought should
be sold out quick. With to-day, the
most eventful year in the history of
cotton speculation b. comes a thing of
the past. No man knows what 1904
will bring forth. AS far as we are
concerned We can only hope for rep
etition Of the successes of 1903 for
every one interested in the cotton in
dustry.
