Xew York. Nor. 26.—Good buying of Jan*
iitry and March canted the local cotton
market to open higher thnu due on the
rahlea thla morning. After the call the Hat
reacted, but recovered the loas on purchaa-
luc bv Com million bouaea. Private cablea
attributed the ateadlneaa In the Engllah
market to a aettlement of the labor trouble
at Mancheatcr.
After opening batter than due on Liver*
pool adrlcea and holding steady until abort*
lr after midday, cotton weakened and
worked downward sharply. To renewed
weakness In the atock market, selling for
New Orleans account and professional liqui
dation la attributed the decline in Cotton.

higher In Liverpool, while spot waa 10
points up at 6.01 on sales of 8,000 bales.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New Orleans, Nov. 25.—Liverpool and New
lurk were the strong markets this morning.
Numerous Inquiries from both quarters
jlna. Ever since the general kilting frost,
information to us about the out-turn of
the yield la rather uniform In character
from nil parts of the belt, saying that It
noeg not come up to expectations. This
•’rep might yet be so small that with all tbe
r uriatlweur in consumption due to dls*
tnrbed trade conditions, absolute require
ments might cause higher values In the
struggle for Ita possession. Whether tbe
"dtauee would be alow or rspld depends on
* nether financial matters Improve to the
extent of encouraging bull speculation. Tbe
mnrketa are In such a position that even

'ho dear and cold weather now prevailing
in the belt. With an Increase In the mpve-
ment and offerings probably to follow, all

in cotton la Indicated, a alow and aolld be-

. N *w York, Nov. 25.-7. H. Rache Sc Co.:
a stronger opening on thla side was pro-
' *•<!«! bv higher cablea from Liverpool. The
'•npresslon Is gaining ground that the proa-
»nt crop la amall. and notwithstanding re-
onced consumption, prices should show
recoveries due to the clearing of the

touching 10.50 for January and 10.62 for
became easier on realising
** ’*• Commission house business was lu
evidence on the early advance. Expectn-
that the forthcoming crop estimates
’ rn U'd lie bullish contributed to i more op-
Gnaistfe feeling towanl cotton at this time.

New Orleans, Nov. 25,—Hayward. Vick St
Clark: Opinion gaining ground that the
crop Is smaller than expected and might be
so small that cotton will go higher, even
with reduced consumption. Stick to bull
side ami buy on dips. The beginning Is
slow and setbacks are normal.
Weather conditions Improved. Now clear
and cold In a greater portion of the belt.
Expect the movement and offerings to pick
up. which may canse a setback In futures.
New York Commercial: There Is almost
as sharp a demand for the fancy cotton
* tnat are coming forward for spring
goods coming to them hastened to cancel
or to try and back out of orders on the
ground that they could not handle the
goods with a profit and that acceptance
would cripple them. Now these same men
snd they do tiot believe that the buyers
who have asked to bare goods withheld
will fall to take the merchandlae ultimately.
Every report that Is turned In by the road
men for selling agencies and Jobbers is of a
more encouraging- nature. The consensus
jpot
valuation of merchandise that was a cause
of distrust on tbe part of buyers has ceased
to affect lines except In a few of tbe coarser
cottons. Export specialties are In stronger
demand and a few offerings In colored
cotton for export have sold during the past
day or so at tbe full asking price. Cotton
yarn spinners are holding their products
for steadier values, and this Is making the
buyer do more shopping thau during tbe
earlier daya of the week.
Market it Dull on Regulars.
There waa very little business put through
Saturday on regulars, as the agents bare no
goods for* spot or near-by delivery, and/ on
distant delivery buyers do not feel disposed
to pay the 5%e that Is asked by a majority
of mflla. It Is recognised that wide goods
are working down and buyers standing off
waiting for standards at 5%o and 89-incli
68x72s at not more than 6%c. Mills nre not
ready to quote ns low a figure on either
construction.

Western railroad traffic officials expect a
falling off in business. There la a much
better feeling concerning the financial sit
uation In the West. An easier condition re
ported on roads operating eastward from
Chicago and 8t. Louis. Southern lines have
not felt tbe depression as keenly as the
Northern roads. Several prominent bankers
expect the prepilum oil currency to disap
pear shortly.
The advance In Saturday’s market was
well sustained up to the close and the gen

Financial Bureau: Bullish operations anil
further short-covering seem likely lu the
stock market. This will probably go on In
continuation of Saturday's foreshadowed
rallylug until stock Is met.
Careful investigation leads to the Indica
tions of offerings ns lielow. If they are
removed, professionals of the first elass will
expeet extension of move. If maintained, a

while not much opposition appears lu Steel
preferred now short of 85 and tbe common
steel Is tipped for a drive at the aborts.
The best results will, of course, be gained

Chicago, Nov. 26.—Bartlett, Frazier A
Carrlugioa: The foreign markets respond
readily to any advance on this aide aud
still believe they will require large quantl-
with nnd tbe cash wheat Is placed, we un
doubtedly will have a nervoua market.
Receipts of course grains aro very light,
hut tbe demand la Increasing as supplies In
consumers’ 'bauds arc getting to • very low
point.
In provisions the packers seem disposed
to force prices.
Chicago Record Herald: Sentiment was
inlte widespread In the wheat trade Sator-
lay night that the market had arrived at a
turning point after Its long-continued de
cline. There were a number of dissenters
front this view, the latter dlfferlmr solely
hecanse of tbe financial situation, 'lne mer
chandising position of wheat Is fairly good.
There has been a decrease of nearly i.0u0,00u
bualH» in the stock here since early An-
--at, something unusual for the months
mediately following harvest. Shipments
last week exceeded tho receipts here by
over 300.000 bushels, although It was decided
ly an off week. Uverpool Saturday night
was about 22c over Chicago, and tbe foreign
markets were plainly showing “ *
to respond to any strength
No. 2 hard winter f. o. b. steamer at gulf
* Coru traders were not aa optimistic aa to
the future of their market aa were tbe
wheat men. The recovery In corn waa
largely due to profit-taking and Jhere was
enough wavering at the last to Indicate that
tbe movable abort Interest waa pretty well
lu. Broken actlug? for Finlay Barrell, one
of tbe leading bear bouses recently, covered
nearly l.onfijpofi bushels during tbe session.
John rudahy Is a prononnred bear on
grains as well as provisions. "I can see
nothing In the altnatlon to. warrant ft
wheat” he said, 'and certainly corn It
much higher relatively than provisions.
About 75 per ceut of tha people In the
wheat trade here do not seem to realize that
there is a panic on.” t ^ ,
'•The United States has thus far exported
approximately €5,000.000 bushels of wheat
and flour,” say* Scotten-Snydaekar. 'For
eign freight agents assert that the demand
fi>r wheat tonnage has absorbed quite all
available up to February l^jvlth freights
vary strong and advancing, now the highest
of the season and for two years. Moreover,
they claim the demand la for full enrgoea
Instead «»f part ones, and that room is
scarce, all this Implying clearances for tha
coming sixty daya at leaat will be large-
bullish to this aid#, but bearish to the
other. The conclusion Is warranted, there
fore. that Flurop*- already owns a lot of
American wheat—If not, why the large en
gagements of freight room at high prices?'

DAILY 8T0CK LETTER
New York, Nov. 23.—^. 8. Bache &
’o.: The stock market was dinap-
general Hat. .Missouri Pacific had re
corded n decline of about 6 points by
the noon hour, n pretty good break for
so Inactive a security. The Steel Is
sues lost some fractions and the Hill
stocks, with 8t. Paul and Union Pa
cific, seemed to melt away quickly un
der any slight pressure. In fact, the
lack of staying power In the market
on the advances Is not encouraging to
present holders of stocks. The shorts
no doubt take advantage of the bulges
to put out lines of short contracts, and
then some real liquidation appears and
break-down of prices Is completed
Copper metal advanced In London to
day. Further engagements of gold
were Reported. Currency Is still In de
mand at a fair premium. The wants
of Interior banks account for the pres
ent premium. Our advice to the holder
of securities Is to hold tight for clearer
skies, and to the Investor Is not to hes.
Itate In buying the flrst-claia railroads
at current prices.
