Futures opened quiet.
HAYWARD G. cLARk's
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
sales continue good. The total absence
of trade complaints is in striking con-
trast. with the tenor of correspondence
at this time when business in Europe
was paralyzed by the fear of a general
conflict over the Balkan troubles.
Our market gained about 5 points In
the early trading.
Feeling is bullish and no desire to sell.
but support is hestating on account of
the peculiar action OF New York, where
technical reasons seem to determine pro-
fessional exertion particularly In one d.
rection.
Soon after the close Of Liverpool New
New York again gave way, causing May
here to drop to 1853. May futures in
New York are now nearly one cent
under the Savannah quotations for mid
ding, which is una ccounta BILE, 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 N4,-
900. against "a, 900 bales last Year,,
which suggests an unfsvorable compari-
son of mill takings. However II should
not be forgotten that mill takings are
already about 400. 000 bales greater than
last year and that the present large ex-
ports mean large mill talfngs in about
three weeks from now, when the cotton
arrives at destination. OF course. for
the day. small Ntakings will help beartsh
designs

LACK OF SUPPORT
PUTS COTTON OFF
BulIish Element Waiting Until
Long Lines Are Abated-Some
Selling on Hester's Figures

NEW YORK. Jan. So.-Despite lower
Liverpool cables than looked for and
selling by spot houses. covering by
shorts impaired a steady tone to the
cotton market at the opening to-day
and first prices were l off to points
higher than the closing quota tons 'of
Thursday. Reports from the South in
dicated heavy February commitments.
which was another bullish 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 off sharply
filled. 1t was the talk OF the trade yes
terday that February would be q very
quiet month. and many soG 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
wave of selling by the ring started the
list on downward trend. Sentiment
continues bearish and a further setback
is predicted in the absence Of sup
port.
Support was practically nil during the
by Wall Street, New Orleans and the
ring element forced March down to
1881. May 12.09 and July to 1904. This
selling was chiefly the result of small
sspinners' tafings during the week. being
3o7 900 bales, as compared with $40. 900
bales during the same week last year
and $4,000 bales the year before. The
bulllsh element however, tried to offset
the small mill tskings by saying that
the export statement for the week was
very bullish, showing $4,000 bales more
than last year and so far for the season
$1,000 bales more than last year, which
indicates that mill takings in the flu
ture will be large. Outside of this the
bulls had little to say, as has been the
case for several days.
Sentiment seems to be growing more
cheerful to the bear element and it is
the belief among the majority that there
is q. good size "long' interest in store.
which will likely come out unless the
bullish element make some definite steps
In supporting the list.
At the close the market was steady.

First Mishap, Says
Atlanta Agent of Line.

Samuel C. Porter. Atlanta agent
for the Old Dominion Steamship
Company, said Friday morning that
the accident which sent the Monroe
to the bottom of the ocean off Nor
folk, after collision with the Nan
tucket, was the first mishap the ship
has experienced since she was launch
ed six years ago. The boat, with. the
exception of the Madison. was the
newest of the line, and was consid-
cred the best. She had a capacity Of
400 tons of freight, and accommo-
dations for 225 first class passengers
This is the off season for ocean
travel, and to this fact Mr.. Porter at
tributes the fact that there were only
"a passengers aboard when the ves-
sci went down. Usually the Monroe
carried a much larger passenger list.

GRAIN GOSSIP

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "a
majority of traders talk bullish on
wheat, but do not stand any punish
ment. With weather conditions uncer-
tain and cold weather predicted for
next week. the traders said there Is
little disposition to sell wheat short for
more than a quick turn. even though
top prices yesterday were the highest
for several months
The big short interest in corn has
been cut down and the country has
bought for future delivery of late on the
short crop theory and a belief that all
VIII be wanted before another crop is
available"
Corn was sc lower on larger Argen-
tine shipments than expected and in this
face of, an advance of I'D in Liverpool.
The Weather over the belt was general
~ cool and clear and favorable for the
handling of corn.
Oats were fairly we'll sustained by
good buying Offerings were liberal
Provisions were fractionally higher.

The bullish element is laying low these
