Think Cotton Very Uncertain Com
modify Mt Present Time.
New York. Jan. 20.-The market to-
day advanced easily, and yet there was
lot of cotton for sale. For some
reason or other trading is not as ac-
tive on the upturn as it would be
expected. A set of very bullish fac
tors confront the market, and this on
ly serves to induce more profit talk
ing.
For every three sellers of cotton,
there is now but one new buyer. This
one buyer takes all the three holders
sell, but numerically the market grows
smaller as the price advances.
From the point of view of the out
slider cotton is less attractive as a
speculative venture at the present
price than it has been in years. The
utmost conservatism is needed. Every
thing looks for favorable for higher
prices and we have yet to see a mar
ket get into ground and not work
higher. There is every incentive TO
those needing cotton to look for higher
prices, and any one trading i'm the mar
ket shoulds bear this in mind 1t looks
TO he a sort OF cotton famine abroad
as well as here. before the next crop
and under these conditions anything is
possible.
Rut 14l5 cents is not 10 cents. and
cotton is a very uncertain commodity.
This may be true of the present out
look and while the situation seems all
favorable to higher prices, caution is
necessary. Little port receipts to-day,
total being only 27.073 To-days inte-
rior receipts were 1l.l26.

Continue Very Light, While the

Both the spirits and rosin market
was rather featureless yesterday.
There was a moderate demand for the
former at s. cents. Resins, however,
were not regarded as firm at quota
tions.
Buyers were said to be endeavoring
to obtain concessions on lower grades,

The receipts of spirits continue very

Only 81 casks of spirits were report

amounted to 345 casks. The exports

Cotton took another upward turn
yesterday, and the market closed at an
advance. While the opening figures
were not maintained at the end of the
day, still there was enough buoyancy
in the tone of the market to satisfy
the man with a moderate bullish APP
petite.
New York started the ball rolling
and advanced easily from II to %
points This was brought about by
strong cables, and feeling that the
sun was breaking through the war
clouds.
The fact that receipts continue to
be light was also an encouraging fac
tor.
By the noon hour the market COM
menced to sag off, due to heavy liqui-
dation, but at this juncture a Gotham
bull leader came nobly to the front
and bid for 5000 to 10000 lots.
This had the effect of strengthening
the market, which again rallied, and
it closed from to IL points up.
In Liverpool spots were in active de-
mand, and closed IS steps up the lad
der, while futures were practically I'M
changed.
The spot market here was but little
effected, while f. o. b. brokers did some
little business on a basis of IA 5-16c.
The offerings were as a rule light,
and the interior seems to be holding
on to its cotton for better prices.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The end of the present week sees sea
islands practically in the same position
they occupied at the close Of the last
weeks market.
The demand is active for ali grades
Of Floridas and Georgias, at an ad-
vance of fully 1ac. and the offerings
are as rule poor in quality and linn
tied in quantity. In Carolinas the sup
ply is nearly exhausted, and the offer
ings OF desirable cottons are very
small.
Factors state that recent receipts are
composed Of crop lots previously sold,
and in large part Of cottons very much
off in quality.
During the last week the sea island
market broadened considerably, and
there were large sales at quotations.
Exports were small, owing to the fact
That several foreign steamers which
are loading have not cleared. The de-
nano for the week included the best

BOER COLONY FOR GEORGIA.

BOER COLONY FOR GEORGIA.
Columbus Enquirer Sun: Arrange
ments have been almost completed. ac-
cordlng to a press dispatch from St.
Paul. Mimi. for the establishment of
Boer colony in the state of Mon
tana. President James J. Hill of the
Great Northern Railway system, has
been interesting himself in the matter
says the dispatch, and is largely re-
sponsible for the selection of Montana
Tor the colony. The idea of asta blish-
ing Boer colony in Mexico was aban-
doned several weeks ago on account of
the prevalence of yellow fever in that
section of the country. 1t is also
somewhat doubtful if Boer colony in
Montana will flourish as vigorously as
one in a more southerly state-Georgia
for instance. The Beers are from a
country Of a mild climate, a little
warmer, perhaps, than Georgia, and
the change from the climate of South
Africa to the much colder one of Mon
tana, will be very trying upon these
colonists. Georgia is an ideal place for
such colonists as the Beers, who are a
sturdy industrious, hardworking peo-
pie, and it is to be regretted that an
effort has not been made to secure
the colony for Georgia.
