Abereromble & Co.'s Market Letter.

Heavy selling from America for account of professional bear operators appears to have had more influence upon the Liver pool market today than did the census report which showed upwards of 3,OO0.O bales less ginned to January 1 than to same time last year, 9,72 900, against about IF, ,5OO,0OO, for while the English market opened practically unchanged, as was ex- pected, an influx of orders from America occasioned a decline of about Liver pool points.
 Spots there, however. were reported in good request; sales. 100000 bales at a decline of points, middling, 6.10 Sympa- thizing with the easier position of the foreign market, New Orleans opened at about 10 points down. March 11.61 against 11.71 last night. and further aggressive selling on the part of shorts with the ob- ject of dislodging southern holders of spots and futures was only partly suc- cessful, for after March touched II 56 a reaction set in on reports of better spot locally and in the interior.
 The attempt of today was the third consecutive effort to break the market below 11hc, this level of values always be- ing productive of supporting orders, which serve to absorb all offerings made in the neighborhood of 11.50, for March cot ton, and spinners have been detected sounding the market around present prices.

New York. January 1O.-The cotton mar lxet was fairly active and after sharp early break ruled generally steady recov- ar,nq a good part of the loss on active months and, closing at a net decline Of only points on old and of 19a15 points on new crop months. Sales were estl- mated at 600,000 bales.
 The market opened weak at decline of 7016 points and quickly increased the loss to A matter of 17@20 points on the active months under aggressive local bear pressure and heavy liquidation by yester- days buyers, who were discouraged by the very disappointing cables Due to come about sQ4 points higher, Liverpool was points lower at the hour of the local opening. seeming to place oearlsh construction on yesterdays ginners re- port while private cables also reported that the south was offering more freely. The early break here was also aided by selling orders from Liverpool, and reports that spot cotton was being onered more freely at southern points. There was con- siderable bull news in circulation regard ing the situation: in the cotton goods NN buying more freely and after selling at Il 8 for March or within one point of the low level of Monday, and over 30 points down from yesterdays high point, the market rallied on covering and during the afternoon showed lrmness on rumors that leading bears weer covering. The closing tone was steady. Southern spot markets were generally unchanged to bc higher and exports again exceeded port receipts.
 Receipts at the ports today, 2,&5 bales, against 28,4SS last week, and %,S4O last year. For the week estimated 10000 bales, against 40, 7s9 last week. and 17ss0a last year.

Gilbert 6. clay,s Market Letter.

Liverpool for the time being seems to have laid aside the buoyant feeling that pervaded that market, as evidenced by yesterdays cables, and refecting the de- presson in the future market came in four points down when expected four up, and closed easy at net loss of six points from the opening. Sales 10000, at a de- cline of six American points.
 The American markets, now that the bureau figures are known. seem to have lapsed Into stage of disinterestedness and will continLe more or less cratic in the absence of any well defined move ment
 All offerings in New York were eagerly absorbed, while in the local market profit taking by room traders combined with small volume of business. held the market steady with prices about unchanged.
 The underlying strength of the market is, however. gradually asserting itself. and today's good spot business shows the trend of the tide. We have pointed out before the fact that present prices, to be sustained or to be lifted to higher levels, must find their support in an increasing demand for the staple, and when we take into consideration the fact that the mills have been running necessarily. and largely on supplies obtained some time back, as evidenced by the reports of re- cent weekly mill takngs, it takes no great stretch of imagination to perceive the dire necessity that the splnners will find them selves in, If they still persist in pursuing this. policy of aloofness An irregular market may be seen until present indi- cations, concerning the better feeling In the spot market become realities and we favor purchases on easy months with acceptance of profits on fair advances.

Loveman G Co.'s Market Letter.


 The spinners and the producer locked horns again today. Liverpool, where the spinning interests are paramount, refused to take bullish view of yesterdays cen- sus bureau report, and there were also evidences of bear manipulation from this side. The disappointing course of Liver pool caused our market to open to g points down. During the early morning trading bears hammered the market viz orousy, and succeeded in dislodging some half-hearted longs. When March sold as low as Il .66, however, a steadier tone, the result of a strong under current of bull lish sentiment, developed and the market gradually more than recovered all of the previous decline, March selling as high as 1175 just before the close, which was steady at net gain for the day of to 4 points.
 Spots were officially reported steady and unchanged. Sales amounted to 2400 bales of spots and 1750 bales to arrive Twelve hundred bales were delivered on contracts. The vanguard of the Cotton Growers association arrived in the city today, and the big convention will be- gin It's sessions at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Over a thousand delegates will be present from all the cotton producing states and some strong resolutions with regard to the holding of cotton by plant CTS will undoubtedly be advocated By no means one of the least results that this convention will achieve. will be the strengthening of bullish convictions, the moral effect of which will be incalcula- h1e

NOW LET THE BATTLE 60 ON.

In a strong editorial the Courier
Journal few days ago summarizes
the situation as between the candi-
dates before the people at the No
vember primary. We reproduce it
in full as we appreciate and endorse
the sentiments contained in it,
The completion of the details for
the primary election, called to be
held the day of the coming general
election, leaves the democratic voters
of Kentucky nothing to do except to
90 to the polls and deposit their bal
lots for the respective candidates of
their choice.
1t would seem that the committee
provisions offer little, if any oppor-
tunity for fraud. But, preparation is
already being made to raise the cry
of fraud by interests outside the dem
Ocratic party and hostile to the final
success of the ticket to be named by
the primary. This seems to be an
essential and inevitable part of the
system of dog eat dog politics which
has prevailed the last few years.
The Courier journal has stated,
and we here repeat the statement,
that 1t takes no part in this initial
contest, other than to report its pro-
gress. 1t plays no favorites. Each
canvass among the various contest
ants makes capital more or less
against the democratic party. Rival /
charp es and counter charges must in !
