Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter,

New York, January 19.-Receipts are now being watched more closely than ever before. The movement at the close of the present week will have much to do with influencing sentiment and prices. It looks now as If the situation will be re- versed by figures showing a loss from last year for the rest of season whereas we have been for some time ahead Hereto fore it's hard to see how the crop would be small one because the movement has been in excess of last year. From now on it will be hard to see why it will not be considerably less, inasmuch as 1t is now beginning to run behind last year. With prices so high 1t Is inconceivable that cotton has not been disposed of very freely and 1t would not surprise us if we should sen a very great falling off in receipts the remainder of season. First prices were 12 to 16 points higher with offerings light. After the reaction the market rallied on good advices from Manchester.
 Heavy buying by New Orleans, and a small interior movement for the week. The port receipts were but 3S,0OO against 420O0 last year. Very small crop estimates were again circulated and shorts were anxious New Orleans sold July at 15 cents during the morning and this made local bulls more aggressive. Cables closed firm, II to B points advance.
 Local firms bought largely for New Or leans.

by the local sales of P, 300 at an advance of one-quarter of a cent on middling Numerous inquiries from the southern mills were received today asking deal CTS to make firm offers on large lines Judging from the tenor of these advices 1t would appear If spinners generally are becoming uneasy. and are anxious to se- cure their requirements. The falling off in the movement assist materially in in- creasing the optimistic sentiment existing especially as 1t is backed up by a good spot demand While prices are high those favorable to the article feel conf dent that the crop will not exceed 10000, 900 bales; therefore they predict that ven- tually a much higher level will be reach ed There seems to b an unanimity of opinion in favor of the article in the three speculative markets of the world, and the chances are sthat there will be con- certed action on the part of operators to advance prices further, providing no un- favorable outside features are injected
 into the situation to superinduce a want of confidence.

Cochran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By C. w. Lee x Co.
 New York. January 19.-As was to be expected, May advanced very easily af- ter 1t got over 14. 25. It was about IA 35 be- fore noon. If the buyers could take all the cotton and carry on the advance, 1t is a reasonable gamble to look for more rapid advance after the stuff has been taken off the market. There was more activity in the market on the advance from 4.35 to HAS than for some time. Men who have been out of the market for days bought on the theory that new ground meant such conditions back of the situation as would cause a sharp rise be- fore a decline. It may be that the present market Is an exception to this rule in speculation, but as an average thing trad CTS look for higher prices when after a break prices advance to new ground. We cannot see very many bear points at the moment. We certainly would not sell cotton short under any conditions. Re- ceipts are too Small, Liverpool Is too strong. Outside interests have sold out an enormous amount of cotton, and the scattered holdings have fallen into fewer and fewer hands. Receipts are so small that everyone needing cotton is getting uneasy. There Is no short interest in the market and cotton is shifting from pre- vious bulls to a new line. But it may be that we are now in for much higher prices.

fish manipulation, assitsed by a bullish de- monstration in the bond market and investment buying in both places, caused improvement again in the stock market today. Speculative buying from outsiders both at home and abroad also contributed their quota to the better sentiment, which was influenced of course by the better tone in the far eastern news. The profess sional element look for further improve ment. and the prospect of another good bank statement with Inc resultant cas- fer will no doubt attract more investment buying and a consequent reduction Of the floating supply of securities, which al- ways causes enhancement sooner or later The standard stocks are being given more attention and should be accorded prefer ence by the bulls for a time. This is a speciality improvement markets.

 suItlns in Reaction.
ESTIMATES WERE LIGHT

New York, January 1s-The cotton mar. ket opened firm at an advance of s@14 points, ruled generally firm and excited, with prices going up to new high records for the season and trading more active than for some days past. The initial ad- vance was in line with higher Liverpool cables and light estimates for the day movement, which, in connection with the recent decreases In this respect, seem to cause operators to feel more confident of small crop estimates
 Todays demand came practically from all sources. Outsiders were buying to some extent and leading bull operators supported the market moderately. The result was that while there were occa- slonal reaction the tendency of prices was upward most of the session, and the market from the opening showed great firmness. The best prices of the day were reached shortly after midday when March sold at 1431, May at 14.46 and July at 1456 Following this the market dis played considerable irregularity, but to- ward the close weakened somewhat under realizing and the active positions lost sev- eral points s
 The market was finally steady. however, with prices net IS to 24 points higher. Sales estimated at 7o0,000 bales.
