Everything was January today, not' trade but talk.. All the Aid January tumors vera taken oat and rebaiheS. Instead of doing busl- .' ness trading, or having ideas on the cot ton situation, broker stood around talk: lag about , the January pool, what had been done and what might be done. There was a general opinion that a set tlement bad been made on 100,000 bales of actual aottpn. A prominent spot - house In the South was short of Janaary cotton. t If as?eili st sett!ebynot bringing their cotton here. It it said the fpjol had tkt) better end as far a ftnoary goes, lot the shorts will make more on their aotual cotton. Some . said the setr ttement meant bighef prices. V There A just that mncn more cotton for tale bnt the pool la shorter by that much being taken Off their "hands. It looks as If ft '. has worked both ways but it must not be forgotton that the cotton settled was not the cotton here in store. This oot- , ton is owned by the Philadelphia people ' and Is generally known that relations be t ween the head of the January pool and the spot house. In question, are not the most'amteable. We don't see how any settlement will be made between these people. Spot interests are short of Jan- . uary and have the cotton. It is absurd ' to think they will go Into'the market to cover 101,000 or 203,000 bales of cotton to preserve their bold on the stock when they hve already bought March at a dls coon'.. It would no doubt suit tbem to ' exchange January shorts and March longs at a premium for March, but this would not suit the bull pool Bo we mast look for delivery of a let of cotton be fore the deal Is ' over. The weather Is some better but receipts are still light. As long as this Continues we look for a steady market, but we believe there is lot of eotton;held baok and when It : comes to the tone will not be strong, we believe In selling for profits on all bulges.
