COTTON MARKET
 WAS IRREGULAR Considerable FlrrneSs Is Shown
 on Covering WORKED UP GRADUALLY Bears Seem Little Inclined to Take an Aggressive Position, PreferrIna to Scalp the Market Pending
 Fresh Developments.
WORKED UP GRADUALLY

New York January 13,-The cottton market was quiet with fluctuations ir- regular. At one time the market showed considerable firmness on covering, but later eased off under liquidation and closed at practically the opening figures. First prices were at an advance of 4a7 points, and the market was steady in tone in keeping with the Liverpool cables. which reported decline of only about points on futures, while 10000 bales of spot cotton were sold at the decline of 3 points.
 At first it looked as if yesterdays late sellers were again trying to depress the market, but small exports were evidently covering, and with some support, pre- sumably attracted by the continued firm ness of southern spot holders; prices were gradually worked up until in the early afternoon they showed net gains of about 13 to 18 points, the small into-sight for the week having helped in the advance. Later small longs liquidated on report that the German operators who have re- gently been supporting the market, hav- ing sold on the bulges, and the list was barely steady at the closing of 4 to 8 points, Sales futures were estimated at 200,00 bales.
 Port receipts for the day were small, and the interior movement continues very light, while the weeks movements into sight fell under earlier expectations. On the other hand, accounts from the south, while aeeentuating the flrmness of hold CTS, also reported no disposition on the part of buyers to meet sellers views, and the official advices from the more prom inent markets indicated unchanged prices with very little business doing Local sentiment retains bearish aver ages, apparently on the ground that spot holders cannot continue their present po- sition, but for the time being the bears seem little inclined to take an aggres- sive position, preferring to scalp the mar ket, pending fresh developments.
 Receipts at the ports today, 27,243 bales. against 27076 last year and 23 231 last year. For the week, 1S0,00O bales against 197,700 last week and 1S2,901 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, S592 bales. against 7736 last year, and at Houston 6407 against 5l5S last year.

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

r To the general observer the market of the week may not have appeared particu- larly interesting nor exciting, but to those on the floor of the cotton exchange developments have proved of more than usual importance. Prices have moved around within narrow limits, making very little progress in either direction. As compared with a week ago at this time the level Is 15 to 20 points lower, but as compared with the tone of last week the market shows greater resist ance and there has been put out enough short cotton to increase the strength of the statistical position. For days every known bit of machinery employed by market manipulators to force prices to a lower level has been employed Ru- mors of various kinds were put in circu- lation and afterward proved groundless. In the effort to break the market through seven cents on Tuesday the rumor was circulated that Southern spot holders were giving away rapidly and the South ern holder had become discouraged over the outlook. This was just enough to force out some weakly held cotton, and May sold as low as 6.S5. In the effort to recover some of the cotton sold buy CTS were compelled to bid prices up 9 points. and they again tried the same tactics in order to break the market Yet brokers were sent into the pit by the large bear interests and thousands of bales of cotton were sold from at basis of 6.45 for May to 6.S7. The same tactics were used in Liverpool. but that market proved too strong, and this morning the local market recovered 10 points very sharply.

w. L. sime e Co.'s Market Letter.

Liverpool Is again slightly better than was due and our markets responded with a gain of to 9 points. There was de- cline of few points from this level and then some advance, which at l o'clock had reached 12 points over the low figure for the day. Spots in New York are of- fivially marked up 10 points. New Or leans reported the spot market steady and unchanged, with a good demand, but offerings limited. In sight for the week 246, ,752, against 26S,94 last year. In sight since September 1, 8,456,550 against T. 455, 132 last year.
 Farmers evidence surprising ability to hold their cotton. and if this disposition is maintained lower prices may be pre- vented, but the load has not been borne long enough to fully test the endurance and capacity to carry the large cotton reserve. On this will largely depend the future course of the market.
 Until further definite developments the market will likely remain a scalping one, and traders should take advantage of sharp advances and Impressions, accept ing quick profits when obtainable.

cotton exports, compared with November, showing the effect of the decline in the price of that commodity. The value of breadstuffs, while s6,64l,s ,seO less than in the preceding December, has risen to the largest total since March, undoubtedly on account of an expansion in the out ward movement of corn. The promise of an expansion of upwards of $10,000,000 in the cash holdings of the banks for the week increased the strength of the mar ket in the late dealings. The strength continued to center largely in Union Pa cifio, but its buoyant upshoot made the closing firm throughout and at about the best level of the day.
