Cotton Letter

Raleigh ~ c., Jan. 20.-The market to-
day advanced easily and yet there was a
lot of cotton for sale. For some reason
or other trading is not as active on the
upturn az one would expect A set Of
very bulish factors confront the market,
and this only serves to induce more profit
taking. Fer every three sellers of cotton,
there is now but one new buyer. This
one buyer takes al the three holders sell,
but numerically the market grows smaller
Is the price advances. From the point of
view CT the outsider cotton IS less attIac-
tive as a speculative venture at the pres
eut prices than it has been in years. The
utmost conservatism is needed. Everything
looks Favorable for higher prices, and
we have yet to see q market get INTO
rew ground and not work higher. There
is every incentive 20 those needing Gotten
20 lock for higher prices and anyone trad
ing in the market should bear this in mind.
It looks like SORT OF cotton famine
abroad as we'll rs here, before the next
crop. and under these conditions anything
is possible. But fourteen and hall cents
is not ten and cotton is very uncertain
commodity This may be true OF the pres
ant outlook and while the situation seems
all favorable to higher prices. caution is
necessary
