Of course this holiday season trade is not what Is called aeve. Brokers have nothing to do. This a m . .ther talked of the Jaonarv manifest The pool will look after this. Nothing ,Jld about changes. The stock of cotton- here in New Tors, Is over 118,000. bales or larger than In six years. If a corner is attented It Is likely to be 818.000 bales at $40 a bale, this means eight million dollars worth of cot ton, and It . requires ' money to finance that kind tf a deal. We don't oareto hare anything to do with January what ever. We have been accused of being bearish on the cotton outlook. If not advising buying above 8c the present time means bearish we are. We think the market hu sustained our attitude for a long time. Below 80 on the No vember break we said buy for an ad vance to 8xc Jast before the Govern ment report we reasoned the showing woald be big and adrlssd profit taking. When receipts got small af ter Govern ment report we utd cotton would work higher undoubtedly, bat advised selling on all bulges over 8J.
