Wall Street Not DhturSti,
Wall street has been buying undis
mayed by the high receipts, weakening
spot markets, tho pressure of southern
hedges and ut times a pressure also of
foreign selling. It has Ignored reports of
slackening business’ tn this country, of
poor trafle on the continent of Europe,
diminished Lancashire business, and
ittempt at India to boycott British
goods In retaliation for the sedition laws
dealing with the unrest existing In that
part or the British empire. It has Ignored
reports that the into-slght ffnovenient
bv January 1 ta likely to be 600.000 bales
larger than during the previous high roo-
orrt reairon of 1904-05 when, according to
tha cotton exchange figures, the crop
was 12.Q54.000 boles. It lias paid rn at
tention to privnte crop estimates of 13.-
SOQ.OOO to 14.000,00ft bales, or to the In
closing stock here, to liberal tenders
on December contracts or to talk to tho
effect that the Increasing New York stock
must Inevitably have sooner or later a
depressing effect on neat options even
“ ough December of late has ranged at
premium of from 37 to 42 points over
JUnunry.
CoUeves Cotton !s Cheap.
Wall street has.adhered tenaciously to
the conviction that cotton I* cheap, that
1909 is to bo a big year In American
business In which tV.« cotton industry
Is bound to share, that spinners’, taking*
will be well over is.fton.ooo bales, that ths
recent government efllmato of 13.909.000
bales, however sharply attacked, was
f (radically correct, tiiat thero Is u short
ntcrcst on foreign straddles here of any
where from 500,000 to 1,000,000 bales, that
another big short Interest exists on
Southern hedges and other selling. Mean
time reports aro being received that the
spot markets are beginning to resist any
tendency to wants |ow»r prices. The cur
rent price is down nearly to the cost of
raising cotton. Exhaustion of supplies
ir. reported In some parts of ths col ton
country, the "weak” long Interest has
been largely weeded out here. Straddlers
havo been buying January, March and
other months here against sales across
tho water In securing profits on a recent
widening of the dlffercncs of something

late. The Federal, an Independent, cut
prices to consignment points to 4.45c
net in order to movo Its sugar but
with like poor success. Possibly, tills
Is explained by the restlessness of the
domestic beet sugar Intercuts, who
were reported selling In'eastern terrl-
toty *t marked coi>ccss1ons on large
lines The meltings of sugar hoyo
have be*n very light, it Is believed, all
refiners being closed for repair** with
the remaining plants shutting down tho
ensuing fortnight.
The refiners, with tho demand for
the manufactured product light, ho,vo
pursu'd a waiting policy on raw sugar.
Independents who wished to «ke out
supplies took Cuba’s and Porto Rico’s
on a 3-77c basis, a decline of 9 points,
and th^re were reports of sales later
of 150.000 bags to the American at
8.74c. The more actlvo grinding In
Cuba was a depressing factor. 28 cen
tra’s being reported In operation, sug
gesting heavy receipts for January.
Cuban crop estimates range from 1.-
100.000 to 1,300,000 tons, the happy
mean o r 1,200,000 being the general
prediction. LIcht tt»e German authori
ty. reduced the European beet sugar
figures another 20.000 tons but this
should be offset by tho Increaso In
Porto Rico. The world's visible supply
of sugar is now figured at 200.000 tons
larger than In 1907, due. it ’* believed,
In considerable part to the trade de«
presslon.
There has been some Improvement
noted In the demsnd for rice from dis
tributors the past week, especially
from sections where of late little In
terest was shown. Generally speak
ing, however, business Is quiet, reflect
ing a seasonable activity of grocers In
holiday goods.
