THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
TIMES-DEMOCRAT SUMMARY.
(By H . V. A C.)
NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 17.—Tho
swing of the pendulum carried th<4
talent hack to Monday's Anal effort.
There was no doubt about face In
market sentiment, but for the mo
ment nobody speared to want rot
ton on contract; tender* were avoid
od and the thing was done With
the March option selling at 12 cents
on the opening, the Interior, particu
larly Texas. awaked to tho fart that
there was some cotton for sale. Him
ultaneously buyers discovered that
while they wanted cotton they need
not be In such a hurry to take it
over ns they had been the day be
fore. Speculators lacked glngeg,
and gome of the bull opinion nioldcra
are charged with soiling rather than
credited with buying the stuff. Mean
while, bearlshly Inclined spol Inter
ests express the belief that while
spinners must buy rot ton in greater
volume, later on It will be on a scale
relatively smaller for the season than
would have been the case had the al
titude of spot holders been less tena
cious. Friends of the staple of course,
enter strenuous protest to such views.
The option market tendency, how
ever. gave such arguments some lit
tie weight in shaping surface opin
ions. On the other hand, it should
be pointed out that during January
of last year the Indignation of cot
ton glowers and merchants through
out the south over the slump to 6 1-2
cents checked the movement against,
which the current movement with
values nlniost doubled Is being com
pared. That trade requirements
which developed on the big scale just
a year ago have not yet been fully
supplied; that a visible supply of
1 Important proportions on August 31
next is now practically Impossible,
creating ..t its wake all sorts of raw
cotton snpplly dangers front the con
snmers viewpoint.
In its broader aspect the situatiofi
has undergone no potential change,
the shifting about of the technical
position of the staple from time to
time influencing the final problems
of supply and demand in a superficial
rather than In an Integral way.
TOWN TOPICS.
(By H., V. ft C.)
NEW YORK. Jan.'lß —The bank of
Berlin has redured Its discount rate
to 5 per cent, and the bank of Eng
land rale remains unchanged This
Indicates easier monetary conditions
abroad and as Germany was the weak
point in the money position tho Im
provement there is reflected In the
lower discount rate and should he
reflected in a more confident feeling
in the speculative markets.
Our market, should be dominated
today by thp speculative movement,
in Amalgamated copper. The direc
tors will take action on the dividend
this evening and notwitl(jlanding in
tlmatlons of legal Iterferenee the gen
eral expectation is thai a quarterly
dividend of I 1-2 per cent, will he an
nouneed. The technical position of
the stock has been improved by yes
terday’s sharp reaction and on any
further decline today good buying Is
expected and the market should ral
ly rather easily.
There arc hull tips on the Hill
stocks and London has a hull point
on Great Northern. There Is noth
ing in the general slmatlon that Is
disturbing and with the A. C. P. di
vidend nut of the way the market
should he In a position for a resump
tion of the upward movement. A
reaction has been due and ll should
not be disturbing as it should go a
little further today but we would take
advantage of any decline to buy the
leading stocks for a turn. We con
tinue to favor the long side of the
coal stocks.
The wheat, market promises to he
somewhat unsettled but It should be
bought on declines.
Cotton may go a little lower hut
we consider It a purchase on de
cllncs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—Although
• the cables fßlled to offer much on
couragemeßi to the hulls this morn
ing, the local cotton market started
steady at a decline of otto point to
an advance of one point. There
was a good demand, partly from
shorts and from hears.
Dullish talk predominated, nnd It
! was rumored that Mr. Price had conic
to an understanding with the hull
party and was now hulling the mar
ket. although this view was hardly
sustained by a circular Issued by Mr.
Price this morning to the effect that
the claim of light bales cannot be
sustained.
