n. & B. Beers Cotton Letter to C. H.
Cothran, Nor.

New Orleans, January 22.--The market
exhibited a steadier undertone today for
no reason except for the want of offer
ings, trading being light and sellers few
The report of the National Ginners' asso-
citation, estimating the quantity of cotton
ginned to January 16 at 12,046O00 bales
was looked upon by the majority Of trad
ers as being bulish and indicative Of
higher prices March selling high as 10. 49,
compared with the close yesterday Of
1913
The higher level Of values is attributed
to the firinness OF spots and of the interior
shipper. buyers being obliged to pay ruling
rates or be deprived Of the cotton which
they need so much for export. The be-
lief prevails that the crop will not be 49,
100000 bales. and the consumption will be
so large as to make the seasons yield fall
below actual requirements, owing to the
great waste on account of the low grade
of the crop. Tomorrow census report
which will be published at o'clock, New
Orleans time. and which will show the
number of bales ginned to January 1G. is
expected to show not more than 70 o50. 900
bales. as such a figure would be in ex-
cess of last years earning during the last
period, January to January 16, which
was 264,000 bales. the last census bulletin
having being 11751,oc0 bales ginned TO
close of December.
The trade, however, has not lost faith in
a smaller crop than 1900 600 bales, and
is still pinnlng its belief In much smaller
yield by entertaining the idea that there
remains less cotton to be ginned during
the balance OF the season than was ginned
during the remainder of the year last
season.

points on little buying by Liverpool
and local support. encouraged by small
er estimate for tomorrows receipts at

bear pressure preceding the publication
of the census report tomorrow. The adj
vance was SIS for March, caused by
southern selling and accompanied by the
large estimate for tomorrow's receipts

items as to spot conditions from that

tor in northwest Texas. Prices sagged of
