New Orleans January 1S.-The cot
ton market this week promises to
break away from statistics to some
extent. and pay more attention to tho
general trade situation. The Census
Bureau will issue II report gin
ming on Friday, carrying the crop
down TO January G, but the amount of
cotton TO be added to the previous
total can hardly be over 100000 bales
under any circumstances, and, by many,
1t is not considered Of any great i'm
portance.
Those who lean to the bull side are
greatly Interested In tho more opti-
mistic feeling generally in this coun-
try and abroad, as expressed in an
easier tone In the money markets and
the tendency OF securities to work to
higher levels. Signs of further inn
provement will he eagerly watched for
this week. Bulls hope to see labor
better employed and more idle plants
start up. Improvement OF this sort
would undoubtedly lead to fresh
cndcavor in the cotton market looking
toward a higher range of values.
SO far as the ginning returns are
concerned. the trade, generally
speaking, does not look for u report

The Outlook In Cotton
For the ensuing week there is likely
TO be a waiting market pending the
publication of the Census Bureaus gin
ming report covering the period to jan

ing of the market next Friday. Much
depends on what the figures will show
to give the trade'a more definite line in
calculating whether the total crop in
Guiding linters, Will turn out the A.
100000 bales which so many are still
expecting or suggest a confirmation of
the bearish calculations of over A.
100000 bales.
In the last report, issued January q,
the Census Bureau showed that 1885,
Q74 bales had been ginned to January
|. From January 1 TO January 16 last
year 1Sl,525 bales were ginned. Recent
predictions from Memphis and Atlanta
have made the total ginning figures for
the current period between 10000 and
10000 bales But in view of the un-
reliability of such estimates in fore
casting the last report, tho trade has
practically settled down to waiting
attitude, pending publication of the
Official figures due at 10 o'clock on
January 90. After that report is out
