H. 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to Caldwell Ward Col
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2e-As Liverpool ad. vices were l5GiS points higher and subsc- quently advanced 3264l additional on the indication of buIiish weekly statistics the light estimated recefpts for tomorrow at New Or leans, Galveston and Houston and the firmness Of spots. Near the close a break of i4d I0 from the top was caused by fongs realizing owing to the decline of 20 points Notwithstanding ms, however, the net gain on Sthe day was SSq4S points. Even in the face of the recent sharp advance cables from Liverpool today say that favorable opinion of the market pre- vails there, as chances are bare of stocks and will be forced to buy soon. Judging from the sales of $500 bales of spots locally at asc 1t would appear as if exporters are anticipating Q good demand from spinners at these figures especially as the Interior reports that all cot ton offered was quickly taken. The amount brought Into sight for the week points to about 2lo.o0o. as compared to 2e2 900 last year. In other words, the bullish statistics the strength of spots and the circulation of very small crop estimates. assisted by fresh buying, were all instrumental in establishing the decided advance today and the new high level Of prices for the season. The sharp decline in rentes and less assuring Eastern news occasioned some nneasiness but the op- orators felt confident of stocks, owing to the strong statistical position After such a rapid enhancement. a reaction ought to be in order yet 1t IS questionable whether 1t will material ize. unless war is actually declared between Russia and Japan, or receipts should increase considerably.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Accounts from all sections of the South indicate an active de- mand for spot cotton and at full prices: in fact rapid advances do not stand in the way of sales. With such activity it would be folly to ignore the situation. People who were led to feel that the crop Is a big one are now inclined to believe the contrary and are looking for figures considerably under /those promulgated
 by bulls early in the season. The remarkable fact Is that the extreme bears do not hinge more than belittle the strength of the situa- ton by every possible means, but fail to self a pound; as matter of fact. nobody looks for much of a reaction while many expect con- siderably more rise The movement is believed to be at its top limit just now as a result oE high prices and after this month it is expected receipts will fall off considerably under Feb ruary figures last year. which were a7o 900 bales. First prices were at a sharp advance this morning and trading was on a large scale
