Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

By H. & B. Beer.
 From all appearances the interior IS drawing the line tigher around cotton which remains unsold. less having been received at the ports since Friday than arrived during the same time last week. and when contra sted with the amount re- ceived during the same period of the year before last, the comparison is all the greater. Up to last Friday there had been marketed 1.0O2,o00 bales more than for the corresponding period this time one year ago, nevertheless the stock In ware- houses here has been reduced to 36O,W0 bales, compared with 351,000 last year, while all ports hold but s.4,000 last year 45,000, year before last 1,069,00O These conditions have been brought about by individual action of interior spot holders who have refused point blank to market their cotton and depress the market in the interest of the consumer. The southern planter by holding the unsold portion of his crop and resolving to cut down the acreage in cotton this spring is only acting in his own interest, and in- tends to carry the matter further by de- ciaring his intentions in open convention so that the world may know what to ex- pect in the way of supplies during the balance of this season and next year. In an effort to hold the market in check, leading traders on the short side in all markets have been obliged to put out new lines of spring and summer positions.

Ware 6 Leland's Market Letter.


 The market showed more signs of stead iness this morning. In face of a decline of a point in Liverpool the local market held steady during the first moments of the day, and when buying orders were sent into the ring later the price ran up 2 or points readily. Though there is no recovery of importance, on Saturday the market gave signs of working higher Though this was due to the absentee of cotton for sale, southern representatives were of the tenor as heretofore, and re- ceipts are smaller. It Is an open question where people will get cotton for Febru- ary and March contracts. A spot dealer this morning said his Texas agent wired he was unable to get cotton to All his con- tracts, and asked to get the cotton in some other portion of the belt The lSnowl- edge that the cotton Is there keeps buy CTS from apprehension of activity. is must happen In the next thirty days. Either the south must give way and sell its cotton or the short interest in the fu- ture will be forced to buy contracts in the open market. l is not going to be a compromise. The south will either let go and force prices lower or the shorts will run. Which will 1t be? The shorts have the money and the south the cotton. Will the south be able to hold for a while longer? Upon the answer depends the next move Until this happens we would buy on breaks and sell out whenever a profit shows

 w. L. Sims & Co.'s Market Letter.
 Cotton-Liverpool reported practically no change today, being content to look to New York or the south for leader ship Interior receipts are small, and port receipts are also small; exports large and naturally decreasing supplies at ports and counted interior towns. Our markets opened about l point up, but very little cotton for sale; some demand from south, little investment buying. and scattered covering by shorts ad yanced price points from last night. We think the situation Is working itself into shape for a readjustment in the near future. Possibly 1t may not come before the next census report, but we are inclined to believe 1t will be sooner than that. We think this will arise from spot liquidation. and a moderate in- crease in spot offerings would have a considerable effect on speculative prices. and we believe in selling on bulges.
 Grain-The wheat market opened strong but later in the session turned rather weak. and the close Is 1 cent lower than the opening. The wheat market affords good opportunities for scalping. Liver poors cables, Isc up. Corn and oats are firm and practically unchanged. Pro visions easier on account of heavy hog receipta
 stocks-The stock market opened strong today and maintained most of its strength during entire session. We favor pi,r- chases on recessions and don't think vou can make a mistake in buying first class stocks A general improvement in tbe stock market is looked for.
