shorts impaired steady tone to the
cotton market at the opening to-day
and first prices were l off to 3 points
higher than the closing quotations of
Thursday. Reports from the South in
Dictated heavy February commitments,
which was another buiiish factor. Should
such be proven true, it would offset the
talk TO the effect that the spot demand
at the South is likely to fall of sharply
as soon as January commitments are
filled. 1t was the talk Of the trade yes
terday that February would be a very
quiet month, and many sold short on
that belief
On the call trade buying and cover
ing by shorts carried the list several
points higher than the previous close.
This demand was soon satisfied and a
wave of selling by the ring started the
list on a downward trend. Sentiment
continues bearish and a further setback
Is predicted in the absence OF sup

tain and cold weather predicted for

Corn was sc lower on larger Argen-

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 30.-Liverpool
seems to be following the lead of New
York in any decline in futures, while
spot markets hold much firmer and
of trade complaints is in striking con-
trast with the tenor of correspondence
al this time when business in Europe
was paralyzed by the fear of a general
conflict over the Balkan troubles.
The rapid advance in Government Sc
curities and reduction in bank rates is
the best sign that political dangers have
disappeared and trade expansion, as
usual, can only be question of time.
Our market gained about points in
the early trading.
Feeling is bullish and no desire to sell.
but support is hesitating on account of
the peculiar action of New York. where
technical reasons seem to determine pro-
fessional exertion particularly in one d.
rection. @
There is no real weakness or pressure
to sell IN spots. a large Alabama house
wired this morning big spot demand
spots continue very firm"
Soon after the close of Liverpool New
New York again gave way, causing May
here to drop to 1888. May futures in
under the Savannah quotations for mid
ding which is unaccountable, except
for local technical conditions in the
Northern contract market
There was some selling by scalpers
on the New York tendency and the
small forwardings from Liverpool (64.-
600 against $4,000 bales last YEAR,,
which suggests an unfavorable COMPARE
son Of mill takings. However, 1t should
not be forgotten that mill takings are
already about 100000 bales greater than
last year and that the present large ex-
ports mean large mill takings in about
three weeks from now when the cotton
arrives at destination. OF course. for
the day. small takings will help bearish
designs.
