OVER PRIVATE WIRES
s. R. Stewart & Co.'S Letter

New Orleans, January 10.-Whiie our market did not open as high as due this morning from New York's advance Saturday and Liverpoors arriving over today 15 to 20 points better than due however, continue optimistic sentiment plus buying orders from Liverpool covering by shorts and some scattered trade buying forced prices 90 to 10J points higher, spots were 75 higher, middling 14.75c. while New York spots were 115 higher with middling there 18.25c.
 New York January sharply increased it's premium and this squeeze in the spot month had much to do with the strength. Room gossip is that Liver pool is still short a lot of January on straddle and is also heavily short of March. It is characterized as an un- commercial straddle put out from a thousand points down. The rise Tn sterling exchange and lower freights have worked against it and the opera tons are said to show tremendous losses. While the cotton prices are up Sc since the beginning of the new year 1t has so far attracted very It. tie buying for speculation. the buying public will likely take hold with an- other day or two showing strength The fact that the market has been able to rally this much in the face or a very distressing situation, shows its inherent strength and on any de- clded reaction we would certainly ad- wise our friends to purchase cotton for either an investment or quick profits.

BUYING MOVEMENT IN COTTON MARKET
 STILL HELD SWAY
General Market List Closed Barely Steady at Advance of Sixty-one to One Hundred
 and Five Points
By Associated Press

New York January 10.-There was a continuation Of last weeks buying move ment in the cotton market today, and all positions made new high ground for the movement. The feature was the relative strength of January, which sold up to 17.75c, or 115 points above the closing quo. tation of last week. It closed 17.65c, with the general market closing barely steady at a net advance of 61 to 105 points. After opening steady at an advance of to l5 points, the market eased off under south ern selling, realizing and scattered sell ing for reaction. January declined to l6,50c, March to 15.43c and May to 15.Gc, or about to 10 points net lower. There was good buying by trade and commits sion houses on this decline, however, while the southern selling tapered off as soon as the early offerings had been absorbed, and the market became very firm during the middle of the day. Stop orders were uncovered as prices worked above the best point of Saturday, and the strength Of January helped the ac- vance in later deliveries. March sold up to 16.25c and May to 162Tc, making net advances of 61 to 7S points on March and later deliveries, and last prices were within few points of the best. There were reports that 5000 or 10000 bales more will be brought here from the south for delivery January before the end of the month. but the short interest was evidently expected to cover and found very few contracts offering. ai- though they hid the price 100 points above March. The census report showing II 559, 20 bales ginned to the beginning ot January was about in line with expecta- tions and was not considered an imne- diate market factor The strength ot sterling exchange was accompanied py rumors of an increased export inquiry and there were reports that the increas- ing activity of domestic mills was accom- panied by an increase of demand for do- nestle consumption Exports for the day, {, 4e4 bales making 2,543.022 this season.

EXPORT DEMAND IN SIGHT SENT WHEAT
 TO A GOOD ADANCE
By Associated Pres

Chicago, January 10.-Indications of ex- port demand gave an upward swing to wheat prices today after a decline at the start. Closing quotations were strong at lAc to 3%c higher, with March $l.0 to AT1z and May s16SA. Corn finished %c to 19c down; oats unchanged to 1sc ad- vance, and provisions at a setback of b to 45 cents.
 Active buying on the part of houses with seaboard connections accompanied the ascent of values in the wheat mar ket, and an unusual rise in sterling was also regarded as significant. Besioes there were famine reports from lnolA and news of Agrarian disturbances there, together with shrinkage in estimates or the Argentine exportable surplus. "A surplus stimulus for the advance was word that committee hearings on the emergency tariff would be ended tomor- row and that the bill would shortly De returned to the Senate. On the ad- vance March delivery touched the nigh est figures since November. Earlier weakness was ascribed to reports from the southwest telling of fairly hperai country offerings and to the clrcum- stances that this has been traditional favorite date for calendar specuialors to press the selling side.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January -(Special.)- Our market failed to follow the inn provement in Liverpool this morning as many people thought that after the advance of the past week we were en- titled to substantial reaction. How ever, American spinners turned good buyers during the morning, carrying prices above the 16c level, at which point sufficient realizing orders made their appearance to check the market unquestionably, the advance here has been very sharp and if for no other reason the market is due for some re- action from these prices However there is nothing new in the general situation which warrants more than a temporary reaction. Our mills have yet to fix the price on a great deal of cotton and with the European mills still without any supplies, we feel roat nlgher market can be expected uI- timately even though some temporary reaction takes place in the next few days.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.,
