Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, January 31.-The cotton
market had steady downward tendency
this week, the high prices being made
en- Monday and the low prices on Fri
day. Sentiment grew in favor of the
short SIDE selling being based chiefly
on expectations of falling off In the
spot demand. Toward sne weekend bear
ish statistics increased offerings. Favor
able reports from the belt regarding farm
work also encouraged bearish operations.
The net results of the weeks trad
ing was a loss of IL to 30 points. At
the highest the trading months were 8
to points over last weeks close; at
the lowest they We're Is to Sc points
under. The range was q to n points.
Although exports for the week were
large, 26i,953 bales against 693 this
week last year, the trade generally had
the belief that there would be lull In
the spot demand Immediately after this
week because of the winding up of jan
uary spot engagements. The decline in
spot quotations at the more important
centers in the south appeared to con-
firm the correctness OF this belief.
Late In the week some large crop talk
began to be heard, This was inspired
by the continued large movement into
sight For the season. according to Sec
retary Hester. there already have come
into sight II, ,5i2 $50 bales. against l0,925.690
bales a year ago at this time. In some
quarters crop estimates were raised to
4,750.000 bales, while less conservative
bears talked of 100000 bales.
Favorable weather prevailed the larger
part of the week. Texas reported the
breaking of much new land and bears
predicted an increase in the acreage OF
the state on the whole.
The most bullsh development of the
week. the easier money markets and the
lowering of rates by the Bank of Eng
land and the. Bank OF France, passed
almost unnoticed. Bulllsh circulars
claimed. it would have far-reaching in
fiuence on trade in general but 1t caused
no buying of cotton.
In the spot department prices lost sc;
middling closing at u 13-16c. against
IS slice last week and 12 I-16c this week
last year Sales on the spot amounted
to st4t bales. against 1879 last week and
1876 this week last year. Sales to ar
rive amounted to Gi93. against 6i65 and 1888.

Buying Proceeds With I'm

Stocks

New York. January 31.-Higher prices
were quoted in almost every case in the
trading today. Buying proceeded with
unimpaired vigor and the rise of yes
terday was extended sufficiently to estab-
lish top figures in many cases for the
advance which began last month in stock
dealings.
Another upturn in the London market.
together with buying here for foreign
account, influenced the movement. The
market failed also to maintain its I'M
provement.
reaction set in which forced prices
below yesterdays close. In the main the
trend was again restored in the last half
hours dealings.
Quotations rallied strongly and at the
close changes were overcoated with ir-
regularities with a preponderance OF
gains.
Realizing on the part of traders who
preferred to be out of the market over
the weekend, checked the mixed ad-
vances.
Weakness of the Rock Island securi-
ties also held back the list.
News of a probable reorganization of
the Rock Island company and a possible
friendly receivership caused the common

These losses were cut down on the late
upward swing. The Hill stocks were in
especially good demand and made sub
etantial gains.
Low-priced specialties also reflected free
buying.
The almost unprecedented inflow of
money this month was well sustained dur
ing the week, the bank statement show
ing a cash gain in the actual table of
g, 10000.
This brought up the total gain by
New York banks in January to $15, 600.
Loans increased amounted to s23.O00OO0 an
cnly small addition to surplus was
made.
There was an active inquiry in the
bond market, rejecting continuance of
Investment buying. New York state 4Ias
reached a new high price at 10S.
The general bond market elsewhere was
firm, being little affected by the weak
ness of Rock Island issues.

Of short duration, and the slight de-
cline was due to pressure of liquidst-
ing sales and Wall street offerings,
which were well absorbed at this low
level. Sellers are without confidence
until some new feature shows itself.
The bearish week-en figures and
the acceptance OF larger crop ideas
