New York, Jan, 20.—Among the many false starts that the market is likely ', to make in the near future will be one that will prove genuine and in the ab sence qf any means to determine which it will bo the only method to benefit by | it seems to consist in working conserva tively on the eonsttruetive side of easy ! markets as they occur and wait tor the . incentive to arise that will prove suf ficient to bring on a general buying move ment for botli accounts. Stich would most naturally come from -the goods mar kets and until there are signs that it is beginning to take shape, it will nht be safe to allow rallies and moderate profits on cotton bought on the dips should not be overlooked. Close observers of the trading, however, express the opinion that not only is there a large interest on the sold side for trade and straddle account, but also that the speculative short interest has accumulated repaidly of late, creating a situation from which practically the only escape lies through the distinctly remote possibility that mills will cancel their contracts in one way or another and sell out their stocks of raw material on hand. This theory is based chiefly on -the idea thilt highly favorable advices from the next crop will undermine'the old crop months and lead to practically a complete postponement' of further business in textiles until this] new und cheaper cotton becomes avail able. Just liqw requirements for the spring and summer trade -are to be filled is not explained, but perhaps the na tion can go seven or eight months with out purchases. She theory seems a very weak reed to lean upon, to judge by advices of by the contiijpnt in appeal the foreign trade. * post l for the time T^Hjj&’v.'cre their adMHHjj^H^Fhaud structure.
