by .. W. Lee & Go.
 New York, January 16.-There is one thing about this market more prominent than any other, and that is the absence of confidence on the part of the average trader This is something very new for the cotton market of 1903-04. There is no short seiiing- The confidence shown by bears is lacking. They are whipped and have no courage. This partly accounts for the De- culiar market; but this is not the lack of confidence we mean, It is peculiar that eVerytime receipts are small and prices get up little, cotton is Tor sale The stronger the position the more cotton for sale. Heretofore the strongest position the greater the buying. This calls for com ment. and there are several exceptions. One IS that news has been already dis counted Another is that the outside trade seems growing smaller. The big men don care to load up on a narrow market It is often fatal New Orleans appears to be selling. It may be that all this cotton will be taken and prices move on up. But as long as the situation is as 1t it, we can't advise buying. Cotton is now In a very peculiar position, and mistakes will be fatal. This market is to be watched very carefully, and is not to be trusted until big buying takes place and prices begin 10 advance easily. Receipts appear to cut no figure at the moment.

New Y ork, January 16.-In the Liver pool market today there was rise of about points. The reports from many districts indicate that mills are gradually conforming to the changed conditions by advancing the quotations for the goods 1t is no time now to interpose objection to the advance in cotton. Receipts are falling off every day. It is quite cer- tain that we shall shortly run behind last years total and the expectation is that as the season progresses the deficit will pc so low that those who calculated on crop like the last will appear in a ridiculous light and those who looked for much over ten million will be dis appointed. Opening prices were about , to 10 points higher Cables were good. The movement next week is expected to show falling off from last years fig ures Of at least 55,000 and possibly 75.0OO bales Expectation was that the port receipts today would be about 22OOO. agaj:4st 31,0O0 last year. The Liverpool stock Is still behind last year. Interior receipts were considerably behind at most towns today The market was cas- Ter after the opening sellers were very cautious, especially as the war scare seemed to be passing away And spots were grimly held

The Declining Tenoe..-, Was Encour- aged By the Action of New Or leans Poor Response to
 the Better Foreign News.

New York, January l6.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance ot to Il points, following higher cables than expected, and estimates for continued light receipts On the advance, however, long cotton was offered freely, and there appeared to be only limited demand. so that the market ruled rather quiet, developing a sagging tendency that soon carried prices back to within a point or so of last nights finals. The declin- ing tendency was encouraged by the ac- tions of the New Orleans market which also made a disappointing response to the cables.
 Receipts at the ports today were 2o 7s6 bales, against S1,472 last week, and 9O972 last year For the week 1o5,oOO bales against 1S2,9 ,901 last week, and 22' = IF last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were s262 bales, against 77S7 last year, and at Houston S42i, against b7Sl last year.

riod last year. These favorable to cotton though contend that the amount marketed to date is. misleading as to the outturn. because the heavy demand for spots and the high prices were instrumental in hay ing larger proportion of the crop mar keted than eyer before known
 These views are shared by the majority of operators. and they confidently expect marked decrease in receipts soon, which will confirm their position. It must be re- membered that a falling off in the move ment will be only natural when it is con sidered that the export demand for sever al weeks past has been practically nomi- nal. Nevertheless 1t is reported that the print cloths are firm and advancing at Fall River. and that stocks there are re- duced to minimum proportions. Advices were also received from a large South Carolina mill stating that narrow prints were in good demand at 1-16c higher than yesterdays prices. In addition to the above favorable features. spots are frmer and there is more Inquiry from northern spinners and from foreign exporters. Con- sequently if the eastern differences do not assume a more acute stage over Sun day the chances are values may seek higher level.

The New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans. January 16-The spot cot ton market was firm. Sales s750 bales, in- cluding 1500 to arrive. Delivered on con- tracts 140O Quotations unchanged. Flu lures opened steady with strong under tone Prices were 1 to points higher. Heavy realizing held the figures down. The market was left to itself for the greater part of the morning. The big bulls d not attempt to boost prices as they could easily have done by the show of a little aggressiveness. After the H. quidation was well over. prices showed an inclination to advance, but there were few buyers The features were strong enough to sustain prices even in the face of some disquieting rumors in the far east. It was generally considered that the outside long interest was small, and this gave the market a steady strength which it could not have shown with a heavy and weak long following. In the tracing March advanced points to 1403, declined to 1894 and then advanced to l3.sl similar auctuations occurred in the other posi- tions The market closed steady Wlth prices net 1 point higher to points lower

By Milmine, Bodman X Co.,
 Chicago, January 16.-Chicago markets have been active with the exception of provisions. Wheat sold at the highest price on this movement. Not much on war news as on the strength of the cash situation. No 2 red wheat bringing a good premium over the May option at Chicago. There is not much export bus mess on Saturday but a great deal of cable inquiry.
 Corn was strong and the best reports show that the crop will be 140000,000 bush els below last year and that most of the crop that is coming in will grade poorly. There is some selling of provisions by packers and while they may be slow in joining the procession yet they are un- doubtedly intrinsically cheap.

New York January 16.-Liverpool ca bles this morning are what the cotton trade Is pleased to call very good clos ing about points higher than was ex- pected Private cables say Liverpool is exercised because of New Yorks small stocks. As they can't see where they will get what they need. the New York market has been very dull and more nar- row than for some days past. Receipts continue small, estimates for Monday al Houston being very light. Estimates for insight movement next week being 240 900 against 300000 last year. Spot cotton generally over the south very strong. good demand and little offering There is nothing to bear this market on, unless It be sentimentally on war news The situation in the east unchanged.

Caldwell 6 Wards Stock Letter.

By Miller x Co.
 New York, January 16.-The market has been extremely dull and professional all the morning. surprisingly so in the face of the activity in the Chicago mar ket which would seem to give color to war talk. We believe that the buying of steel stocks is for a very strong interest with a view to advancing these considerably. The short interest in the market is fairly large and if there is any definite change we rather expect it to be in the nature of an improvement.
