WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New York, January a.--Cotton has
advanced under the spur OF heavy
buying by' big spot interests. despite
the greet strike In Lancashire. Also
there has been a good deal OF cover
ing of shorts not only because OF the
aggressive altitude of the prominent
spot people, but also because OF the
increased activity and strength IN
Liverpool. This inspires many with
the BELIEF that the Lancashire strike,
serious as 1t seems. is not likely to
be OF long duration. Liverpool spot
sales on n number of days were 10000
bales. and Manchester has reported :.
good demand for cloths. however quiet
might he Its trade in yarns. There
has been little disposition noticca BILE
TO press spot cotton for sale in the At
lantic markets. nor for that matter at
the generality Of Southern points.
Exports have been big. Augsburg,
Bavaria, reports the homo trndc as
improving. Some big mills In Rhode
Island have gono on full time SEIZED.
ules. after running on short time for
a year. Meantime. though. continental
spinncrs have bought freely for some
months past, even taking cotton to
be delivered some years ahead. tho
Northern mills In this country and
many OF those in Great Britain arc
known to have bought as a rule on
q very moderate. not to say scanty,
scale, and the Inference is drawn that
they are none too we'll supplied with
raw cotton. even IL. indeed. their sup
plies are not actually low. On the
other hand. there is tho Lancashire
strike. Nobody knows how long IL
will last. despite the efforts which the
oticials OF the British government are
making to bring about n settlement
Rumors. too. are to the effect that the
ginning, despite the recent bad weather
of tho South. will turn ou, larger than
expected. One rumor put the total
of the National Ginners' Associations
up to January at 14.36p.ooo bales.
II that Is SO, is Is trcadinS rather closely
upon the heels OF tho government crop
estimate issued In December of IA
$4,000 balee. with some months OF
ginning to hear from.
The Turko Italian war Is seriously
disturbing Italy's trade. and 1t also TO
somn extent affects Manchester's. In
parts of the South spot cotton is salt TO
have been more freely offered at the
recent advance in prices some cotton
prints have been reduced in price. At
times of lats Wall street houses. after
buying freely. have been taking profits
and selling by Liverpool. Memphis and
New York traders. as we'll. as IL APP
pears, some OF the Waldorf Astoria
contingent has also been a noteworthy
factor in the trading.
The New York stock is steadily In
creasinE. But the buying by big spot
interests, tine large spinners' takinge
for some weeks past and belief that
Lanca shire has too much at stake to
permit the strike TO continue long,
many profess to believe that cotton Is
destined further. Further. w aldorf-
Astoria bears arc believed at TIE close
of tho waak have c-vcrcd, and taken
tho bull side on the idea that the
decline has eliminated. The weekly
statistics arc regarded ae bullish.
