It's exports. The European share was
VI, 4s9 ,572, 1853 which was $32,120,5 29

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1s.-On the
daily count Liverpool futures to-day
were about points lower than due, but
considering the wide difference of 1870
points from New York, Liverpool prices
are high and spot sales continue large,
total 10, 900 bales. 1t looks as If the
liquidation of the Liverpool-New York
straddle commitments is under way,
which is to be hoped as there is little
doubt that the defense of this straddle
interest kteps intentions in New York
on the bear side, and that change
in feeling and better support is likely
Undated or reduced. AS the liquidation
of this straddle can only be profitably
done at the full difference in dull or de-
clining markets, the present attitude of
New York is fully accounted for.
Everything points to a bullish change
in statistics soon and the time for ex-
ecution of bearish ideas appears limited
to the next two weeks. Our market
lost about s points in the first hour.
There Is no desire to sell, owing to the
steadiness of spots, and the contract
scalpers and straddlers working on
changes and the tendency in New
York
The weather map shows rains
and unsettled, rainy weather Is indt-
Gated for the entire belt, except the
Atlantic Coast and Florida A rain
storm is moving on the north central
States likely to bring heavier rains In
the northwestern quarter.
The Texas movement seems to be at
last giving out. Houston and Galveston
receipts to-day are less than last year
and are also indicated to be less to-
morrow. The amount on shipboard
awaiting clearance Is fully 100, 600 bales
more than last year There are only
two more weeks of full mill takings to
compare with last year The weekly
rate of mill takings during March last
year was considerably below 100000
bales, whereas the recent large exports
indicate a fuller rate of takings this
year.

On account of having their wounds
covered with dirt from the trenches
along the Aisne, where the germ OF
tetanus is prevalent, many of the
wounded developed the malady. This
| is especially true when the time of
| transport of wounded from the battle
front took three weeks. Now that the
| injured are reaching here in three to
| four days. the risk OF infection Is not
| so great and the cases have decreased
markedly.
