cause shorts covering and fresh buying near the close superinduced a steadier feeling, making the net gain 10 to P points on the near months and about six points on the late months. Cables from Liverpool today stated that market was idle and trade paralyzed, owing to the recent wild fluctuations, and to indica- tions of war being highly probable be- tween Russia and Japan.
 There Is no doubt that cable advices from the east have been very discour- aging, and have been Instrumental in forcing heavy liquidation during the past four days in the three speculative mar kets of the world in which cotton Is handled. Notwithstanding many traders have suffered from being so extremely optimistic and disregarding all unfavor- able features. sentiment Is still very bull fish, and predictions are freely made that values will ultimately seek higher level than those prevalent before the break.
 It is claimed that the movement will soon show a marked falling off, and that spinners will be compelled to enter the market freely, when it is established be- yond doubt that the crop will not ex- ceed 100000 bales It is well though to remember that prices in the future will be regulated more or less by technically is in a healthy position in conseauence of the long interest having been reduced considerably and therefore any encour- aging factor is apt to have a favorable effect on values. The future business of our exchange will be suspended to- morrow in honor of the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, but trading on the curb will go on from g. a. m. to 3 p. m.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, January 7.-After the un- warranted decline of yesterday, prices this morning showed some temporary i'm provement The war scare seemed to be the overshadowing feature. Bears, finding an exhaustion Of ammunition in other di- rections were using the political situation for influencing sentiment against cotton, although as matter of fact best students could see nothing but beneficial advan- tages for this country as a result of q contest between Russia and Japan.
 Receipts are falling off In a good many sections. If this should continue for some days there is no telling. to what limit prices will be advanced. Since the main bear argument heretofore has been the excess movement over last year i'll the re- ceipts. This however, could quickly be disposed of by the close of January and it is not impossible that it will be. The im- provement in the early market was only short lived and heavy selling was un- doubtedly created as a result of reckless offerings and a sharp twist must necessa- rily result The port receipts were B, GOO same as last figures. Many interior towns were losing in receipts and estimates for the weeks movement were reduced in consequence. Cables were g points lower.

Cochran & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By c. W. Lee & Co.
 New York, January 7.-The early break today carried the price within 12 points of the bottom. Below 13 cents there was buying and this turned the market to 12.80 In other words prices broke 40 total fluctuation of over %. This record is enough to startle any one. It Is no market to have much to do with unless 1t goes quiet and gives a buyer a chance for his money. With such fluctuations as we have had this week, it is enough to make a holder sell out and only buy on such smash as we had this morning Below 13 cdnts the outlook Is a little different from that around 14 cents. We cannot believe in buying on advances, and think holders should take from every upturn enough money to repay possible mistakes in the future For awhile the market should be a purchase on good breaks below 13 cents. In the event of war and continued large receipts there can readily be a serious break which will cause anxiety. But for awhile we are in- clined to be less bearish after a break be- low IS cents. If war is declared, do not buy cotton. The situation may change to such an extent that prices will evaporate rapidly. There Is nothing in the cotton sit uation to encourage buying for higher prices There should be money buying on breaks for a turn, but 1t must not be forgotten that the bloom Is off the eye" of lower prices.

Caldwell & Wards Grain Letter.

By Milmine, Bodman x co.
 Chicago, January While the news has been of a more warlike nature and consols somewhat lower the foreign markets did not respond to the advance here, nor impending difficulties between Russia and Japan. The action of the markets would rather indicate that shorts had pretty generally covered on the advance the past few days, and 1t also looked as though the bulges today were taken advantage of by big holders to secure profits.
 Corn-Closing about Mc lower than yes- terday, the result of realizing the same in wheat among the sellers today were a number who had been faithful to the bull side for several weeks
 Oats-Were lower in the early part of the session in sympathy with wheat and corn, and on realizing by local longs, but later following the recovery in wheat on the upturn, they received assistance from the leading bulls. But offerings were heavy.
 Provisions-Provisions irregular and lower and d lighter volume of trading than for several days. Cudahy was lead ing seller and scattered longs liquldated freely The demand again came from the outside, but was not as aggressive as 1t has been Pit traders bearish and lean to the short side. Hogs, liberal receipts. but prices strong and higher.

New York Cotton Futures.
The Coffee Market.

New York. January 7.--Coffee, spot Rio, firm; No. invoice ' 9-16c; mild, firm. Coffee futures opened unchanged to Ia points higher, the advance being due to brisk demand for September and later po- sitions by commission houses and Wall street. Cables at first were disappointing but later turned firm. Brazil markets were closed over a holiday. Europe was a seller all day. and in the early afternoon Wall street bulls and cotton houses liquid- ated heavily, their selling being based upon the unfortunate news from the far east. The pressure brought about a sharp reaction and the close was barely steady at net decline of 15 to 20 points. Sales, 145, 900 bags. January, 7.O5; March, $7.2O a7. .40 April, s7.450l7.50 May.

lSet closed rather dull It seems to be gen. erally called firm. but there does not seem to be a great deal In it as the public is not in 1t at all. All that the public is speeulating in are commodities. Copper sold off a bit and the talk that It is to double its dividend seems to be pretty well discredited. The public seems to believe the talk that a deal Is on between the Union Pacific and the Alton A good rally might be brought about in time on the short interest. but the market at best is rather a small affair.

 New Orleans. January 1.-Liverpool was not as snfavorable as expected, conse- quently our market opened 5 to 10 points higher on the near months but declined 3 to F points on the late months. and subsequently eased off F to 26 points ad- ditional on continued liquidation, owing to rumors that hostilities had begun in the east The later improvement of 1z to 5-16 in English consols presumably on more peaceful news occasined an advance of 3s to 8 points from the bolton. Room traders taking profits, later in the ses- sion, caused a slight recession

 Futures opened irregular; prices 10 points higher to 12 lower Soon after the opening London cables reported a decline of 13-16 in consols. This caused something of panic and weak longs threw their holdings overheard in the most reckless maner, and bears hammered prices wig orously. Later in the morning, there was a recovery of several points on buying by the bull leader who bid 25c for 25 900 bales of March No definite news in re . gard to the war situation was received, and the only bad feature in this direction was the decline in consols. Late in the morning cables said that consols had re- covered 5-16 and this immediately had a favorable effect on prices. In the trading May first advanced points to 13.54c. then fell off 25 points to 13.29c advanced to 13.65c and then fell off to 13.51c.

COTTON MARKET
 OPENED STEADY Gain the Result of Liverpool
 Advices DECLINE SET IN LATER More Peaceful Turn In the Russian Japanese Affair Started New Buying Wave From Out
 side Sources.

New York, January 1.-The cotton mar ket opened at an advance of 9d17 points. This gain was more directly the result of cable advices from Liverpool which were of a better class than required to match the closing of the local market the previous day. But the extent of the response at New York was not consid- cred satisfactory. and an active selling movement set in.
 This resulted in a sharp decline that carried the trading level down to a net loss of 7@25 points, as compared with the closing figures of the previous day. Then followed a sharp rally with the market finally steady at net advance of 10 to 14 points.
 On the decline there was heavy liquida- ton and some pretty energetic selling by the bears who appear to be on the watch for renewed efforts on the part of the bull parties to sell But at the decline the bull leaders instead of selling, as many expected, they became active buy CTS. and immediatedly started in to cover.
 At the same time more peaceful turn in the Russian-Japanese affair, as locally interpreted, started new buying wave from outside sources, and for time the marke was very active with local shorts eager to cover their sales of yesterday and this morning. New Orleans figured as heavy buyer As indicated by the local transactions the market was less than one-half the record for activity, but it closed with firm undertone at the advance noted. Sales 100000 bales (esti- mated.)
 Receipts at the ports today, 31 1e41 bales, against 46,290 last week, and 3S,033 last year. For the week 225O0O bales against 2s7,7SS last week. and 275.170 last year.
