There was a slight improvement In
the cotton market yesterday, so that
even though the close of the futures
markets was not at the highest point
of the day, yet gains of from 6@B
points were show'll by the American
markets, and of 2@3 points by the
Liverpool market. Liverpool also show
ed an advance of 4 points on spots.
The lessened movement for the week
and reported bad weather in the south
western part of the belt were respon
sible for the improvement in New
York.
The looal spot market was unchang
ed from the close of the day before,
opening quiet at 9%c for good middling
and closing without feature. No sales
were reported at the opening, but as
the advance in futures became evident
■demand improved to a slight extent, so
that 612 bales were reported at 1 o’clock
and another 130 bales by the close.
The lessened movement is being shown
at Savannah, as well as other ports,
the receipts yesterday being consider
ably smaller than those of the corre

PRICES FORCED UP
BY WEATHER REPORTS.
New York, Nov. 11, —The cotton mar
ket opened steadily at an advance of
2@3 points In reiponse to slightly
higher Liverpool cables than expect
ed, reports of less favorable weather
from the Southwestern and smaller
interior receipts. There was very lit
tle demand, however, and while the
market following the call showed a
generally steady to firm undertone,
further gains were secured very slow
ly until shortly after midday when
reports that it was snowing in the
Southwest with temperatures Yfalling
was made the basis for a wave of bull
support by some of the professional
contingent here and New Orleans.
This buying caught both markets
short apparently and for a time there
was a flurry of covering due to which
the market ruled nervous and active.
January sold up to 10.01 c and March
to 10.12 c, but at this level offerings in
creased and In the later trading the
market eased off about 4 or 5 points
from the best.
The close was steady at a net gain
of 6@B points. Sales were estimated
at 130,000 bales.
The into-sight figures for the week
reflecting the smaller interior move
ment as tvell as a falling off In the
port receipts helped the advance in
prices during the afternoon.

Say Cotton Market for Week Wn
a Disappointment.
New York, Nov. 11. —There is no
question that cotton market this
week has been a very disappointing
one. This does not mean that prices
have declined instead of advancing,
for the level is slightly higher than a
week ago. But there was a general ex
pectation that speculation would re
sult from the election and the general
improvement in business that was
more than likely to follow. On this
view shorts covered during the latter
part of last week, and not a few
bought cotton in anticipation of a
rise. On Wednesday the market open
ed firm and higher, but the improve
ment was short lived and the holders
were compelled to realize on a declin
ing market. After prices had lost
about 15 or 16 points the tones steadied
again and the market passed into the
same state of dullness existing before
the recent advance. That general
speculation has not been induced as
a reason of the large and profitable
business reported from Manchester
and the steady improvement that is
now taking place in this country has
been a source of disappointment as
Yvell as comment. The only possible
explanation is that the stock market
furnishes a more attractive field for
the time being, and the cotton market
will be compelled to await a revival
of interest which may come at any
time. Many believe the crop is alto
gether too large to make bull specu
lation profitable, but if the cotton
market could go from 7.17 c last year
back to 10.00 c on a crop of 10,000.000
bales it may be that we are to see an
advance in prices this year on a crop
of 12,000,000, but there seems to be
i.o question that the crop is a good
one.
DEMEKK A HAMMOND’S
Dally Cotton Letter from New
York.
New York, Nov. 11.—The steady fall
ing off in the movement has begun to
shoYV marked effect on prices. Liver
pool was 2 points lower on
futures and 4 points higher on
spots to-day. Our opening prices
proved to be practically the
lowest, and while there has been no
great activity January was once more
carried across the 10 cents line. Only
to meet again with a flood of selling
orders, YVhich sent the price back 5 or
6 points. Still the close showed a net
gain on day of about 7 points. It has
come to be so fashionable to sell the
the market short whenever January
reaches 10 cents, that professionals
look upon a rise of this sort as a
golden opportunity not to be missed.
As the recent decline has not been
sufficiently great to allow of much
profit taking, that the short interest
has been steadily increased as the re
sult of selling at each successive rise.
The figures of movement have al
ready a distinctly bullish tinge, which
will be more strongly developed the
coming week when we compare with
the banner total of 582,000 boles last
year, and It would seem that selling
fever has reached the danger point,
and that shorts may soon find the 10
cents for January a low price instead
of a high one. Liverpool is quite bull
ish and evidently anxious on the
strength displayed by the Southern
markets.
J, S. BACHE A CO.’S
Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vick A Cos.
New York, Nov. 11.—With Liverpool
sending encouraging advices, both pub
lic and private, the weather less favor
able, and interior receipts seem to be
falling away behind last year’s, while
the into-sight for the week was great
ly reduced as compared with early es
timates, the situation seemed decided
ly more favorable to bullish operations.
The market had a disappointing open
ing, however, with the lack of general
demand still in evidence. First prices
were only 2@3 points higher, when an
advance of about 4 points was due on
the cables. Later the gains were in
creased in a sluggish sort of way un
til the list stood about 8 points over
yesterday’s finals. There was very lit
tle cotton for sale apparently and the
undertone of the market was firm. The
bears seem disinclined to sell freely.
Perhaps the leaders find that when
they withdraw their offerings there Is
no one else to sell the market off,
and finding that spots are holding firm
a little above parity with the future
market, consider it wiser to permit
the situation to develop one way or
the other than to increase oommlt
ments in market where bear manipu
lation has been the chief obstacle to
an advance and the stability of spots
the check to a decline.
