The orders which came througN Southern wire houses were scattered on both there were well balanced rumors to the ef- feet that the New Orleans element was un- loading long cotton The trade as a whole during the day was not particularly active Offerings became quite small as the session advanced and prices worked rather firm al though at times there was q lack of snap and the quietness in some portions of the list was pronounced. spot cotton was steady with a moderate demand And only limited offerings The port receipts for the week were estimated at l65. 900 bales, against l92 ool last week and 222.i77 last year.

 NEW YORK, Jan. lS.-It looked today As though, enough cotton had been sold by eer- eral holders to leave the market in shane to respond to any new buying That Is, May and July worked close to the high level sn1 held very firm. New Orleans got to the high price of season. Liverpool sold higher than be- fore this season and things looked very strong The situation has many elements of uncer- tainty about 1t and there was lot of cottnn for sale on every advance This cotton has been pretty well absorbed now and in the event of very light receipts for some time to come there is every prospect 0: higher prices Still we cannot but believe tn taking profits on every advance over IA cents as long as inc price does not work into new ground. We are at c very critical point-cotton Is being dis tributed from all directions and until theTe are evidences Of a furry. inducements to buy cot ton are not what they were when lower, If the price starts up now and the market gets active one can buy with little risk as lot of cotton has been sold and when the advance be. gins it will go fast. There was more activity today and this is a good sign During the af. tsrnoon there was a better trade and prices moved about more easily. If all the cotton for sale between IA and l4A is taken care of IS cents can be reached very eeSly. Liverpool is very strong and the situation begins to iooS like another whirl

The steadiness In Liverpool was attributed to large American buying and the scarcity of sellers. Other cables from Liver pool say that home trade Is improving. Prices of goods are advancing In Manchester and the continental demand is increased. Many opera tors there claim present prices are low enough and If small receipts continue the market must advance. The optimistic sentiment present was assisted materially by the circulation Of a tele- gram from party who Co supposed to be well posted stating that his reports lead him to believe that the nsxt census report will show that only 600. 900 bales have been gtnned from Dec 18th to Jan. 9th. making a total Of s.loo 900 ginned to date with prac- tcaily all gins closed would seem to confirm

There was tendency toward greater moderation in the extent of trading here but this did not interfere with the main tsnance of c steaiy tone The developments of a better spot inquiry In connection with di- unfinished receipts served to stimulate prices and h fact all features that were brought to view seemed favorable 10 the establishment of e better market careful observer of census statistics who forecasted the Rinnsr 6 report published Jan. with remarkable ap- Yroaeh to accuracy. announced that the census repoet 10 be published Feb would prob- ably show g. roc, 900 bales ginned to Jan. 9th and practically all gins closed for the season, Aside from this, competent student of the crop YSatuGtion in the western section of the belt wired from Dallas, Tex. today in effect that all cotton hal been picked tn North Texas and very little held in the Interior.

 NEW YORK, Jan. ls.-Prices were better this morning This was owing to the absence of any developments over Sunday except such as were favorable or of a character not cal. culRtsd to disturb the upward progress of prices. although the early dealings were light. the feeling was quite confident not only here, but abroad. The week opened with tndica- tions of a moderate movement everywhere. The more peaceful political situation encouraged buyers and made shorts nervous and there Is little doubt that the market would be con. siderably better yith this question out of the way The shosA~ ~ipferest is &AIisved to be very large and much oft created the past week. when bears made desperate efforts to produce a feeling antagonistic to cotton on the theory that mills would not buy, and that the move ment will again bs free. neither of which have any basis whatever. Early pricss were lS points higher with fair dsgree of activity. Few cared to sell while many are prepared to buy as as the Eastern question is known The receipts were but 26ooo. against S6. 900 last year. and interior towns were also small. Sellers were vory cautious. Ca bles closed quiet. but steady at points net advanca. Yarns at ManchGater dull but steady and cloths appear too low.
