OF THE FLEECY STAPLE

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-N. l.. Carpenter
& Co: The strength of Liverpool gave
encouragement to the bulls and caused
uneasiness among the bears, which
brought out buying from many sources.
Brokers representing spot houses We're
however, the leading buyers.
The reaction in the past few days has
caused change in sentiment. Spot people
say demand is very good. Little or no
weakness among spot holders. We un-
derstand there is fair demand from the
continent.
Shreveport La. wires: AN exporter
offered II cents today for LOO bales held
by local factor, but could not buy it,
Some small lots selling, but holders as a
rule refuse to sell at decline. Stock 1000
less than last year. Good demand from
continent"
Market quiet at moment, but very
steady; no pressure TO sell Schill offer
ing. but selling very little; Mitchell also
Offering.
Bulls talking much higher prices and
looks as if we will get it.
Market very strong Brown, Hayne and
McFadden among buyers; selling scat
tered with Rordan, MINDS, Waters, Nc
Chez Hicks, Norden, Hentz. Mitchell and
Hartcorn among sellers profit taking by
longs constitutes some of the selling.
Liverpool cables: Powers have reached
settlement" This should stimulate mar
ket
If all the interests could guess the mar
ket as the Pell interests have for the
past twelve months they would undoubt
eIlN ne SdilSUeu, lneSe interests were
credited with buying about 100000 bales
at the low level last year and when prices
advanced to about Is cents they sold and
took fancy profits and turned to the short
side.
A certain broker sent out a wire this
morning advising his friends to sell the
entire list in case March should sell at
IL. 20 or above by tomorrow. He evidently
thinks the reaction is not over.
The leading spot interests were about
the best buyers today Shorts were free
buyers. The feeling among the local
crowd is more bullish than for some time
past
The ring crowd inclined to sell. but spot
people absorbed offerings remarkably
Liverpool cables today were rather
bulliSh.

The New Orleans Times Democrat says:
ION the face Of things yesterdays cotton
a large speculative short interest made
afraid of the outcome by the develop
mentS of demand for the actual before the
unhedged spot owner has given up the
fight. The fact that exporters and the
Southern mills again bought contracts
suggested near exhaustion Of the supply
of hedged cotton and the ease with
last hour suggested that the bulk of the
speculative short interest is in weaker
hands than are the hands in which the
bulk of the remnant of unhedged cotton
rests. Meanwhile the fact that the trade
is buying rather than selling hedges.
Better spot markets throughout the
