(Dally by Private Wire to Clerk & Co ) New York, Jan. 18.—The feature of the day’s market Is the surrender of a bear to the penalties of the fallacies of his own reasoning. After an Illogi cal campaign of several months, dur ing which he denied the right of a man to put his own price on hts own property, and finally attempted to con vert llntors Into sheetings and print cloths, he proceeds to explain his re tirement from bear activity. This may seem a. little absurd, but the price of cotton at tho present Is large ly a matter of sentiment and not of business. All this means that the crop has been ginned as rapidly as we have all alleged and that moderate crop estimates will soon he confirm ed, and the hears at last are prepar ing to acknowledge. The situation still justifies conservative buying at 11.60 and below for March and the realizing of profits on good rallies. C. D. FREEMAN & CO.
