Cochran 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert &s Clay.
 New Orleans. January 9.-Liverpool was suddenly aroused to A sensbility of the serious possibilities of the present cotton situation. The diminishing supply of American product brought visions of an impending cotton famine for Lan- cashire spinners and the force of this prospect was modestly emphasized by a material advance In both departments of the English market. During the curb trading of yesterday rise of about 20 points was established here and near ly an equal gain was added to values to- day.
 Bullish sentiment has been stimulated by an actual moderation in receipts. while reports of better business for manufactured goods in New England and an improvement in the local spot situa- ton has encouraged larger bulls toward greater activity. The war feature has been worked to the limit and less atten- tion Is being paid to it. The trade Is now deeply absorbed in the movement. The statistics of the visible supply show that high prices have not prevented cot ton from disappearing at rapid rate and are beginning to believe that the magnitude of consumption will only be limited by the size of the crop notwith- standing all the resolutions to run on short time.
 Should the present moderation in re- ceipts be followed by a substantial fall ing off. in accordance with numerous predictions, prices will take the upward course with greater vigor.

Caldwell Wards Cotton Letter.


 New Orleans, January 9.-Notwithstand- ing the future business was suspended yesterday in honor of the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, there was considerable trading done on the curb and prices at one time showed an i'm provement of s4 to 37 points over Thurs days figures, but closed from 20 to 2s higher. The more favorable outlook in the east, the bulish visible supply state ment, and falling off in the receipts have changed the trend of values and have superinduced better feeling in Liverpool
 Our market in sympathy opened 33 to 36 points higher than Thursdays closing and subsequently, advanced 15 to 17 addi- tional on the light estimated receipts at New Orleans, Galvestin and Houston for Monday, being accelerated by the firm ness and good demand for spots, making the net gain 50 to 57 points since the off, cial close last Thursday. The total visi- ble supply of all kinds during the week increased 5000 against an increase of 12,- 900 last year. The visible supply of American during the same time decreas- ed 5000, against a decrease of s9, 900 last year. The total visible supply of all kinds is now 3.933 900, against 3.s95, 600 last year. of which the American is 3.2410O0 against 3.169.000 last year. The spinners' taking or Amef1can cotton during the paSr week were 332, ,000 against 5000 last year. and their aggregate takings from September to date have been 476.000. agains. A. 670.000 last year, or 1S4. 900 less.
 Reviewing the statistical situation 1t is ascertained that on the face of the talk ings, the consumption of American points to 10.665 900. and the movement on it's face indicates a crop of l0,s67000. In the meanwhile the visible supply of American is 72000 in excess of last year. and values this year are over cents a pound higher than they were for the corresponding pe- riod last year. The figures so far do not bear out the claims of the crop being un- der 10D0m. or that there is an insuff{ is. nevertheless. confidently believed bJ the majority of operators that the bx reau's crop estimate is practically cor3

rect. and that the facts in the near fu- ture will confirm their views. The more peaceful outlook in the east, the good de- mand for spots at advancing prices, and the decrease In receipts have all combined to accentuate the extremely optimistic sentiment prevalent. and barring further unfavorable complications between Rus sia and Japan. the chances are prices may seek a higher level.

Sales, 775S bales, including 250 to arrive. Quotations Ac higher. The bull element was in control of the future market today; nothing apparently influ- ences the course of cotton now as much as statistics War rumors were plentiful but had no effect Offerings were not equal to the demand. Longs took profits freely but these offerings were easily ab- sorbed. The volume of trade was heavy and the ring was excited throughout the short Saturday session. At the opening prices were from 3S to 42 points higher than Thursdays finals. The leading bulls bought freely and the market closed firm at about the highest level of the day. The net gains over Thursdays closing were 90 to 57 points.

SMALL ADVANCE
 IN STOCK MARKET Damage to Private Wires Had
 Little Effect
  AN UNSATISFACTORY WEEK Feeling of HopefuIness Was Shown Over the Possible Peaceful Out come in the Far Eastern
 Situation.
AN UNSATISFACTORY WEEK

New York, January 9.-Prices made small additional advances in today's mar ket on fair volume of business. Damage to the private wire service, and interrup- ton of the outside quotation service by tickers, had little effect upon the volume of business done in stocks, indicating the largely professional character of the trad ing, and the large proportion of business originating on the floor of the stock ex- change itself
 The main influence upon the advance in prices, was the more cheerful tone of foreign markets, and feeling of restrain ed hopefulness over a possibly peaceful outcome to the far eastern negotiations The bank statement also met expectations in the cash item, which showed an in- crease of over $10000,00.
 The continued expension of the loan item to the extent of $14 ,00 was not re- ceived with so much satisfaction, and in duced some conjecture as to the source of the borrowing. It was suggested by some banking authorities that, the low rate to which interest in New York has declined, has induced some reduction of trust cOInpduy anu out-oi-eo"h ponniis loans, which had to be taken up by the clearing house banks. It is known that the mid-week strength in sterling ex- change was partly caused by remittances to take up Lake Shore notes, which were placed about a year ago, and this may have involved some borrowing from New York banks.
 London discounts continue to advance, hut the weekly statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany made strong showing and sterling exchange at that center ad- vanced Amalgamated Copper continued active and strong today, and the Paeifies grangers coalers, trunk lines and promi- nent industrials, made quite uniform ad- vances The closing was steady, but slightly below the best.
