Cochran 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

The week has been wilder in fiuctuation than any six days this season. Advances have ranged from 30 to 60 points a day and declines in equal amount. After breaking from IS. .45 to 12. 80 Monday, there was an advance to 13.95 Tuesday, ,a crash to 13. 15 Wednesday, a break to 12. 92 Thurs day, and a recovery of over half cent Friday. The changes were on & scale to be wilder and no one seemed to know what to expect next.
 A large quantity has been disposed of by commission houses. and there can be no question that the cotton situation from technical standpoint has vastly im- proved by the drastic house cleaning which has taken place. When cotton was below. 13c there was very good buying of kind that promises to add strength to the market. So much cotton has been thrown overheard that we regard the out look as being more satisfactory than for some time. It may be that we have seen the high record of the season for some time to come, and that the market in spite of violent reactions, is gradually working to lower level This does not change the fact that enough cotton has been thrown overheard to Tighten the speculative market, and 1t is compara- lively safe for traders to buy cotton on such breaks as we have had this week. 1t must be admitted that there are two very decided views. held on the market at the present time.
 Some hold that the large movement means that we have a crop of 10,5O0. 900 bales, and as the prices at 13iRc has cut down consumption, that the crop will be more than enough to go around. On the other hand many still adhere to the belief of 10. Is and 17c cotton, and say that it Is simply a question of weeks before this will be evident to all. It is not necessary to side with either view at the moment: In fact lack of opinion as to the future is likely to be profitable. Money is to be made now by picking Up cotton on such breaks as we have had this week and the risk appears to be very small Cotton has some value as it gets towards 13c, and un- til we have evidences of such an ava lanche of cotton from the south as will change the situation, cautious buying on breaks will pay the traders in the cot ton market.
