Thfy are so aure of th< It position on these points that they are sorry for tnose who cannot ?ee the market's prospects la the same tight mat th~v do. The speculative long interest in this market alone is estimated at over ),OO0,O,>O bales of con? tracts, and it ia believed that as much Is held at .Liverpool. It is also be? lieved that at least 1,000.300 balea of tpot cotton is being held in the South by dealers and factors on speculation, in anticipation of selling the same within the next month or two at over 14 cents on the basis of middling cot? ton. They may be right, but it looks j like a hazardous undertaking, With the Balkan War atill unsettled and poli-i tics here so uncertain, and the revi? sion of the tar:ff still ahead to make spot, btiyera and manufacturers cau? tious about loading up with cotton at over 13 cents to add to the largo, sup? plies they have already accumulated. ?

BUSINESS IS SMALL IN DOMESTIC WHEAT Quietude and Narrowness Create Little Sur? prise?Fluctuations Late io Week Are Circumscribed. New Tork, January E.?There woe I only a smell volume of business In do- j j meetlc wheat markets early hi the I week, but the uuletude and narrowness I oreated little surprise, as auch a etat? ' of affaire la Invariably expected at ? the cause of tlvf- year. At suoh a tlms traders are Inclined to do no thins; ex oeataai such transactions as are ne- j i essuxy to "even up" over the holiday j As there was apparently no Import- j ant outstanding lnteicujt on either aide j ? if toe deal, no noteworthy flunctua ttenjss soouitd warrant ., c-speclally aa1 them was a scarcity of potent in- 1 fluences Temporarily at tin- outset there was j ? ather more steadiness owing partly to | encouraging cables, Kuropoan markets being influenced slightly by the light i ? or id s shipments and thu resultant b'g [ decrease ii. the quantity on passage, i This latter was. h<>wev??r. partly offset by favorable crop reports from Argen .ina. Subsequently, fnnsSeMM was cau.s Sd by shorts covering; prompted hyl additional < omplaims respeuting the, insufficient moisture In the Southwell, and also by the prevailing urwaeirw-ss respecting political aJfaais in Europe Tile factors described were, however, partly counterbalanced by falrlv larire. receipts at primary points, and the fact tbat the increase in the vlsl!>'< supply was larger than anticipated. j Narrow Fluctuations. I^ate in the week the market con-) tinned inactive, without further changes of moment, the fluctuations ns; a rule being still circumscribed. Tern-j porarlly there was slightly more firm- I DOSS, vhlcii was attributed to shorts covering, prompted partly bv renewed complaints respecting the lack of mois ture ir. winter wheat territory, more especially in the South and Southwest, there being moderate rain or snow-fall toward the North In the neighborhood ' of th'd big lake*. Demand was also I stimulated slightly by encouraging 1 cable* European markets being Influ? enced partly by prospective light world's shipments, and especially from i countries outside of North America- and therefore another large decrease is ex? pected in the quantity on passage. Stocks egg aald to be light in nearly all European ports Therefore, It would cause no sunwise should there be a better export demand for wheat and flour, especially in case ocean treaght room becomes more plentiful and cheaper. Subsequently, thorn was lag! huoyancy and a si Im hi recession oc? curred, whlcn was partly ascribed to bSttSV crop reports from practically all ? >ver the Waat, eerpecially as rioted by the Modern Miller although rain or snow would be high*:, welcome In th-. Sou th west. Outlook, for the Future. While eonse.rvu.tr.?? merchants anti clpato no radical changes in the lm m--dLi.i.te future. they incline to the opinion that prices uXe down clone to a solid basis The opinion Is baaed up? on the assumption that moat needy farmers have marketed a large par! of their surplus, mantle well-to-do farm? ers are reluctant to accept current hide, and consequently receipts at in? terior points may show tome falling OsT ere long- As we have already ahip psi about three-quarters of our ex portable surplus, small fluctuations in Europe seem no longer worthy of at? tention. In short, we have arrived at a stage when domestic conditions will probably dominate. There have been few if any Important, changes in corn markets dttrln*; the we^k. aside from the big break in De? cember contracts In Chicago*during the last hours of trading there This de? cline was attributed chiefly to contin? ued heavy re.ce.ipts In Chicago. Mea-i wiille, the distant deliveries have eo'd fairly steady, with insignificant varrta tfoms.
