That It Is misleading, and menacing to the divine .and honorable Institu tion, the family, and the sacredness of home life.

Oaality Only 0a tb Qztzlh Of tho Flair brands arc - claimed to C. P. Ellis & Co. 's Cotton Letter. Special to The Observer. New Orleans, La., Jan. 9.-Just why a bullish construction should be placed up on to-day's census figures, It la difficult to explain. They show that the gin pings to January 1st have exceeded those of last year, (when the crop was 11,300,000 bales) by no less than 2.025.000 bales and we confess that up to now we are without any rellalile Information that warrants us In expecting that there Is less to be ginned hereafter than was ginned from this date forward last sea son. Consequently, we would discourage speculative ventures predicted upon a crop less than 13,000,000 bales, but owing partly to the disappointing grade out turn of this crop, it look as though the Boojl grades had been largoly oversold ond until this character of short Inter eft has been removed from the market the statistical situation will continue to be a matter of secondary importance though. If the next crop preparation artd progress should be satisfactory we can not help but believe that Inn thn late spring and summer, the tall-end of this large crop will necessaslly exercise great weight upon the market Meanwhile manipulation seems active ly at work, both at New York and Liv erpool, and general speculation contin ues conspicuous, by Us absence. C. P. ELLI8 ft CO. Ifubbard Bros, ft Co's. Cotton Letter. Special to The Observer. New York. Jan. 9.-A sharp advance er the glnnlngi' estlmnte of 11.760,000 gin ned to January 1, Is an expression of the bullish sentiment which Is so mark ed a feature among our local trade. They believe that the spinners will buy at these rriccs more than the govern ment estimate of the crop, and look for higher prices In Europe tarmorrow. THe decline during the morning was simply a local liquidation through fear that the census repoin might possibly be more tliHn expected, and not to any short selling. Possibly part of the weakness abroad was due to the sharp falling off In the export of cotton goods and yarns from Great Britain, as thla Is the fourth niorth that the boord of trans raturns have Hhoivn this curious condition, when all the private reports have been of the enormous business doing, a contrast we cannot explain. Liverpool la expected to be from i to 6 points higher to-morrow. Thfl glnners' return shows that the At lantic States have ginned to date as much cotton as the government estimat ed their total yield In December. The spot market was firm at 5 points ad vance. H.
