New York Jan. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 9Gl1
points following cables that were con-
sderably better than expected. There
was heavy liquidation at the higher
Level. however, and almost before the
call had been completed the advance
was cut down to a matter Of but 4
or points. Liverpool cables continued
steady; New Orleans opened up, the
outlook was for light receipts at both
the ports and interior points and be-
fore the market was an hour old,
prices had been rallied again with
March selling up to 1850. May, 1880,
and July 14.05c. these being net gains
on the active months of from II to IS
points. The advance was accompan-
led by buying for spot interests, and
it also seemed that New Orleans sent
orders on the buying side while the
room seemed inclined to take the long
side for the turn Notwithstanding all
this, later in the day, it looked as
though the big bulls were again TAX

frequent reactions, but these were
generally limited to or points at a
time, and the declining tendency was
not checked until March had sold down
to 13.45c; May to 10 .68c and July to
13.74c, or a net loss of 12@13 points
on the active months
Following this the market was less

Unlike cotton there is no f1uctuation

concessions. Sales, 2,425 bales, includ-
ing $50 to arrive. Delivered on con-
tracts, 400. Quotations, reduced Nc
The future market was nervous, and
prices at the opening were 1924
points higher following the improve
ment at Liverpool and New York. The
English market advanced on better war
news, which caused a decided improve
ment in consols and in French rentes.
In the trading in the local market
March first advanced 80 points above
the close of yesterday, to 1890, and
then fell off to 1850 and recovered to
4.71c; May advanced % points, to
l4.33c, fell off to 14.05c and recovered
to 14.l0c; July advanced 35 points, TO

sold freely.

WARE q LELAND
DO Not Think That the Time Is Pro-
pitious to Buy Cotton.

New York. Jan. Alt was the same
kind of a market again to-day, un-
healthy, erratic and feverish Last
night May sold at 1850 on the curb,
and this morning May sold at 1880.
Even on the advance few traders mis-
took the market for anything that it
was not. Factors at work in the pres
ent market are not good ones We may
be mistaken, but it looks very much
as though some one was preparing
for trouble. Not Intentionally, of
course, but buying cotton at lac in
way that may store up serious trouble.
Prices have been advanced on the pros
pect of a moderate crop. An advance
from sc to lac.
Now when there are visible evidences
of this falling off in receipts being
realized, smart traders are selling out
their cotton bought on the prospect
early in the season. On the other hand,
men who could not see the advance
coming at loo are now being convinced
and are buying cotton. For the pres
ent this unsettled the market, and it is
no time to buy cotton. This market
is not healthy, and we do not want
to buy cotton. If we have another
break, we may see heavy selling, a
crash such as took place before. The
break has not been enough to warrant
buying. The failure to get over 144c
is very significant. therefore buying,
we would not buy, except on a good de-
cline.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-01-15

ually coming in. OF course good
deal of cotton is being held, but even
then II is not believed to be possible to
make this crop over 9,S5O,O00, and pos
sibly less. When this fact becomes
recognized there will be numerous buy
ing by mills everywhere.
Talk OF manipulation and artihclal
support of the market is idle. and we
are now hearing less of such as the
true situation is recognized. The sup
ply will not exceed the demand, and
the chances are that it will fall short
of it, and manufacturers must advance
price of their goods.
Receipts at ports only $4,000, against
&c. 600 last year. The movement was
very light at Norfolk, Charleston, Au-
gusta, Atlanta, Columbus and else
where and shorts were growing very
nervous inasmuch as next weeks
movement will compare with last years
figures of only 5000 less than the pres
ent week last year. Liverpool closed
at loss of 6 points. The Manchester
market was irregular. Houston to-
morrow expects 1000 to $500 against
400 last year. New Orleans expects
$500, against STA last year; Galveston
$500, against 1856 last year.

The day had not yet half waned
when, 10! without warning, a break
came, and the advance from 9@17

fore a summers sun. BY o'clock scarce
an hour before the markets end, the
decline was yet more rapid, until the
days close saw the King again de-
posed from one to ten steps down the
ladder that lead to his erstwhile throne.
The stability of spots was in marked
contrast to the instability of futures,
for the former maintained their equi-
poise. despite the fluctuations of the
latter. and both in the New York and

practically unchanged. This was also
