Cotton Letter

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 27.-The sensation
ally small receipts are having their effect
on sentiment. Everyone is talking very
bulhsh now and we should not be sur
prlsed to see a rather excited market
next week if the movement keeps up in
this way. For instance, at Houston on
Monday the movement was estimated at
less than 1900 bales, against 5000 bales
last year. This is really serious and if
continued for many days is likely to in
flame sentiment and bring about another
wild cotton market. The selling out this
week only shows the strength of the mar
ket. No one behind the price would hold
this way without aggressive bull opera
tons on the part of the leaders. But
everyone sbuying and there is not
enough cotton coming III to prevent high
err prices With a visible supply of Amer
lean cotton about 100000 bales less than
two years ago, and receipts very small,
there is nothing to prevent repetition OF
the January advance. While some out
side influences are not favorable, we can
not be other than bullish on the outlook.
Port receipts today 5000 bales, against
q go bales last year.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York. Feb. 27.--The cotton market
opened firm at decline OF points TO
an advance of IL points with the market
showing increasing strength as the call
progressed The decline on the near po-
sition was due to the disappointing Liy-
eIpool cables which were considered poor
enough TO warrant a decline OF 10 to ID
points. but the bullish visible supply
statement and tho small estimates for
the movement during the new week gave
the situation bullish turn. New Or
laans also showed considerable irmness
again with July selling up to 1b.o7. Spot
interests were buying here, particularly
May houses with New Orleans connections

about to 10 points net higher. Trading
was not more than moderately active, but
offerings were very light.
