COTTON ADVANCES Il ID 15 PO|NTS Reports from All Quarters Are
 Generally BulIish BULLS PURCHASE FREELY Close of the Week Finds Market in Control of Bull Leaders, and Prices Are Much Higher Than in the
 Previous Week.
BULLS PURCHASE FREELY

New Orleans, November 13.-Spot cotton steady, unchanged middling, 14asc; sales on the spot, S25 bales; to arrive, 375 bales.
 Futures opened steady at decline of 9 to 5 points on poor cables. After the first call the decline was widened to 10 points and the market acted soft, but just when a slump seemed imminent the forecast for the western cotton belt was posted. It predicted wet and cold and immediate reversal ip the tone of the market. Shorts rushed to cover in large numbers and bulls bought freely also with the result that prices were sent up IS to 1 points on the more active deliver ies. At this level they were Il to 15 points over yesterdays closing In spite of con- siderable liquidation by longs the advance was maintained until the end of the ses- sion, the closing being steady at a net advance of 10 to IA points.
 Futures this week close 45 to 5o points higher than last weeks closing. At one time prices were nearly three-quarters of a cent higher than last week, but from w edDeSuay on pears were dBSi ieSSiNo ahu they managed to reduce the load of the bulls by a quarter of cent. The ad- vance of the early part of the week was in the nature of a reaction from the de- cline of last week. Bears derived their strength later in the week from reports from the Texas crop, that the top crop was doing much better, but right at the weekend prospects of cold and wet weather over Sunday in Texas caused much nervousness among the shorts and a rise in prices.
 The spot demand showed great im- provement this week over last total sales on the spot amounting to 4690 bales, against 2930 last week, while sales to ar rive totaled 12300 bales, against 44o0 last week. Prices closed unchanged from last week.

Hubbard Bros. and Co.'s Letter.

New York, November 13.-(Special.)- )-At the opening 1t was apparent that sup port would be given to the market today to prevent any break on the disappointing advces from Liverpool, where & sharp and unexpected decline occurred. This support brought in buying orders, under which the market closed steady at some 10 to 12 points higher than yesterday. and a sharp recovery is expected in Liver pool on Monday.
 Rumors were current that the national ginners' report would be very b1llish; i; 1t must be to sustain the new crop esti- mate of less than 100000 bales, which they put out last week. The bulls are very confident that the spinners will finally be compelled to pay much higher prices. no matter how much they may talk about curtailment, or whether the Bombay crop is a million or million and a half larger than last season. Tho market expects the movement to fall off and looks for higher prices next week.
