now almost completely changed from,
that OF n month ago.
| Spinncrs buying Cautiously.
! There was big demand for spot
cotton from foreign and domestic
spinners. especially the former. during
the decline from IL cents to Sl-3
cents, and enormous amounts were
then purchased for Shipment during
this month. This cotton is now going
through in process Of Shipment from
the interior and seaboard points, and
. TINS is why the exports since the OPEN
Ing OF January have been so heavy.
But since The marke, was started up
so agSrcss!vely n fortnight ago. neither
the foreign nor domestic spinncrs have
done much buying. AT the same time,
however, the Southern spot markets
have advanced almost much as flu
lures. and quotations therefore now
range from Ola cents up to 10 cents
per pound for middling cotton at most
OF the principal receiving and shipping
points in the South.
The amount OF the crop brought into
sight this week on the figures OF the
New York Cotton Exchange, is 1896
bales. against $4,000 last week, 292,76S
last year. and 235.o3S In 1910 This
makes lo.5il,000 bales brought into
sight or marketed from the opening
OF the season TO date. according to this
authority, against 9,i57.O0O the same
time last year. when the crop was
l2.l2U,Ou0 bales on It's total commercial
movement and against 7.S94,oOo in
1910, when commercial crop turned
out 100000 bales. It will be noted
that the Census Bureaus last ginning
report showed the total amount of
li.S3s'ooo bales of the crop Ginned to
January l. as against 1o,54l,00o which
have rnarketed ~ data

In such records for some States than

on January IS. which will give the
total ginning TO January 10.
and thta report Will doubtless confirm
the trades belief that the govern
ments crop estimate of 14,SS5.o OO bales
OF 500 pounds each, has been an un-
dcrestimate exclusive of lintcrs by
anywhere from 1000 10 100000 bales.

to be active and interesting. Al the
