HAYWARD & cLARk's
DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 14-With the
exception of the proclamation of gen.
eral strike in South Africa, which the
Government promptly met with a proc
lamation of martial law, and Mexico de-
faulting on bond payment-both of
which occurrences were rather expected
general news and developments over
night were again of an optimistic ma
ture.
Washington says that the Cabinet
members speak of the Presidents mes
sage in relation to trust attack as a
progressive declaration that should re-
assure the business world of the sincere
intention of dealing fairly with 1t.
Chicago says that 5000 men who have
been out of employment since Decem-
Der I returned to work with the United
States Steel Corpora ton plant. London
expects the Bank of England to soon
reduce Its rate to per cent on account
of abundance of money, bat says now
capital is cautious.
The latest dry goods review says the
cotton goods markets are steady with a
broader demand for print cloth. Liv-
futures, against five points higher than
due. Sept prices four points higher;
sales, 5000 bales.
First trades here at slightly easier
figures, but the supply of selling con-
tracts soon proved too small for the de-
mand and prices advanced points.
There is much better tone to the
market.

Grain Notes

Tho Chicago Inter Ocean says: "A
great many traders are bullish on wheat,
but are not buying to any great ex-
tent. The fact that prices have not de-
clined sharply during the recent decline
In corn is regarded by some good trad
ers. as evidence of g. strong position
Corn traders in general are less bear
ish than of late. The news that Ar
gentine has sold all its good old corn
was taken as significant. Some of
those who we're in the pit all day said
that traders have sold too much short
corn the past two days and that the
market was In shape to do some bet
ter.
"A motion favoring free wheat has
been unanimously adopted by the Man
itoba Legislature and will be forwarded
10 the Dominion Parliament at Ottawa
The motion was introduced by a mem
Der Of the Government party"
Bartlett. Frazier ! CO. say: wheat
Market seems to be gaining strngth
slowly and we look for a gradual herd
ening in values
"Corn-We believe the short interest
has been largely increased during the
past two sessions and look for some COW
ering to-day.
"Oats-We see nothing on which to
expect any particular change in prices
at the moment.
'Provtsions-The selling is coming
largely from profit-taking longs"

GOOD DEMAND
CAUSES RISE

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Bullish supply
and distribution figures scared OF the
bears at the opening of the cotton mar
ket to day and first prices showed lr-
point lower than Tuesdays final; I'M
mediately afterward, however, buying
set in and prices rose 1 to- points
from the. opening range. There was
considerable short covering.
Liverpool cables were steady.
During the forenoon there was active
selling, which was thought to. be pront
taking, resulting in prices easing OH TO
the initial level
Following are II a. m. bids IN New
1880, July 1872. october 11.60
The tide turned during the afternoon
and prices rallied some 10 to IL points
from the previous close, as result OF
ering. Interest was focused on March
option, which seems to be getting hard
err With the manipulation Of this po-
sition last year still in the memory of
cotton men the selling of this option is
done with great caution.
Last year March closed so to go points
over May. This year 1t is said 1t will
take 1885 to bring cotton here success
fully from the South. 1t is also stated
by one of the most conservative cotton
men in the trade that the smallness of
the present crop, at least that is the
small number of bales of spinnable cot
ton and short supply here in this mar
ket, will cause spot interests to hold
tight to the contracts they have and
demand the actual cotton. This, o.
gether with the increasing short inter
est in March and increasing long inter-
est in May would probably widen the
difference between these two months
considerably.
At the close the market was steady.
with prices at a net advance of Z to IA
points from the final quotations OF Tues
day.
