We look for a quiet market. Liverpool comes slightly Improved. The fight on between the bear leader and the bull clique seems to have resulted In the surrender of the bear leader. The buy log by Mitchell In Inst two days Is supposed to be Price covering. We favor sculping the market JOst nt present. Would not ad vise taking a permanent position either side for the time. Ginners* figures are at least moderately bullish, but strength of past few days has discounted It. !,ooks heavy and will decline unless good strong support develops. . You cam not bull anything now.

Hood, Fernle & Co., Liverpool, cable: Consider ginners extremely bullish.*' Hants big buyer of March at 10.25. Has bought about 6,000 bales. New Orleans, Nov. 21.—Hayward, Vick A Clark: Weather map-sbowa heavy rains shifted to eastern belt, covering every state east of Louisiana. Indications now are for clearing and colder generally. , The agricultural bureau estimate will hfr Issued December 10 at 12 noon, our time, l p. m. Eastern time. Census, 7,311,000. Much less than expected; point* to much smaller crop than trade thinks. It’s bullish. x If market has good spurt on bullish cen sus would sell for turn, as the government crop estimate has beeu delayed until De cember 10. New York says revision committee voted no change in grade differences. This is whst was expected. New York grade dif ferences this season are nearer tliota pre vailing In actual spot markets than they were last season. Seeing the lack of bull speculation, bears show* inclination to jump on the nufrket, ns the government estimate does not come out until December 10. If this should be the full census report, which w*e do not know, as wires nre down, the market Is not gonq up enough on the bullish figures. Edited by Joseph B. Lively.

Following Is the range In cotton fnturei la New York today: that today's census publication Is not of s character to sell on. although the traders harbor suspicion ubout gins having made full returns. There Is a steady demand for spots at firm prices. New York, Nov. 21.—J. 8. Bache & Co.: The glutting report took the market by sur prise. The figures w ' * * than generally looked _ . last year, as well ns about 200,000 less than the amount of eottou ginned to the same date In 1906, when the commercial crop was 11.320.000 bales. The market was active the first few minutes of trading, and, although Liverpool advanced right after the publica tion of the report, there was heavy realis ing here on the early strength. Conflicting opinions prevailed on the reports. Some held that there was less cotton ginned be tween October 18 and November 14 this year than during the same period of the small crop year of 1903-04. Many hold that the figures were pronouncedly bullish. There ket ruled narrow and easier with entire absence of public Interest. The market seems still oversold In spite of the heavy buying In the last two. days, while the pub lic Is apathetic owing to the financial and commercial outlook. We favor n scalping position QDly, and think prices will uot go far either way for the present. \ EDWARD MOYSE & C.’S DAILY COTTON LETTER. IHIU--U us rrptin mi tue. amount ni turn season's cron ginned iu» to November 14, giving Che figures at 731!}000 bales. The National Ginners* Association also Issued a report on the amount ginned, the total ginned l»elng 7,354,000. The tendency gener ally la to decrease estimates of this year's yield to below 12.000.000 bales. But these influences of a decided bullish nature do not create enthusiasm among the friends of cot ton. Uuder. normal conditions today's news would have been used for all it was worth, and bears would bsve been run to cover In short order. The stringent anti-future laws In the cotton states makes It Impossible for the friends of cotton to oppose their ene mies, hence all news Is turned to bearish account. INTERIOR RECEIPT8. Tb« following table .how. receipt. In the Interior today, compared with the same day lut year. HAYWARD, VICK & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER. N>w Orleans, Nov. 2l.-The census' report fives 7.311.202 ginned to November llWMS 8.W2.242 last year, 7.501,HO In 1906 andI 9/786,- in 1904. Ginning* for the last period «>f fifteen days are 613,000 less than last aeaxott| The figure was so much below general exl pectations that the trader* thought this was only a preliminary report and an addi tion thereto would follow. The market therefore did not respond at once, and first trades were at an advance of only 6 points, which were lost In the.flrat ten minute*. Washington, however, soon announced that this was the complete report, and, a* auch.l *t Is certainly bullish, and supporting the imaliest crop vlewa. New York weakened «n it anyhow, ahowlng plainly to all who *«nt to see how cotton Is mad* to suffer “J the suppression of bull speculation and hall support by the Htoutb. In former days futures on such confirmation of a small **rop would have scored a decided advance ■nd brought In spinners' demand for an-| "•her portion of the crop at higher Prices. Ail we get now from consumer* la a cynical •mile. Liverpool was Inclined to do better, fmtires about 3 higher than , due. spot price* 7 up; but, seeing tho Indifference of 2f r Northern market toward the report, •hLweakened later on. ... .Washington wired that the agricultural bureau estimate would be Issued on De cern iter 10 at 12 noon, our time. Bear* con- Jdered thla In their furor Inasmuch as it FJM more time for covering. I * J . ^vision committee In New York T^ied no change In grade differences. This "«* expeeted, as tots season I New York ilLu *? Dr ©* much''nearer those- estab- uihed by trade demand In the Southern market* than they were Inat season. Liverpool cobles consider the report very HPASSfl, here steadied on the res- bidding by a prominent trader Juat f r P m « tour of the North. He saya " n *»'; lnl marteraoip there are rapidly {fading. Chicago banka are already atart- ,V > withdraw their money certificates. 2M«g whole. In spite of the weakness In att lork, the opinion predominates here BUSINESS FOR HOLIDAY8 OF SATISFACTORY BULK. New York Commercial: In local Jobbing houses It Is stated thnt holiday busluess was keeping up and that the general de mand for merchandise from the smaller re tailers was of satisfactory bulk. Home of the buyers who are In town looking for soft spots on wool dress goods for spring delivery, have found the first hand selling agents disinclined to grant concessions. The cancellations that have been made on wool and worsted dress fabrics for spring dellv ery bare not been large and the goods com Ing to hand, agenta declare, can tie disposed of without a sacrifice In prices. Among the silk Importers and the agents for domestic manufacturers'It Is stated that cancella tions oil spring orders are not seriously af fecting business. Most buyers need all of the goods coming to them, especially the staple silks, In blacks and colors, A (letter business Is coming In on wool snd worsted yarns for near-by and spring delivery. The ■pinners who were making concessions a _ held back by men's wear manufacturers. Print doth order* for a large volume of regulars have been placed goods now under order, made, will be disposed of as spot*. Com mission merchants find cancellation* much Improved and are able to help their jnllls to a greater extent than last week. ESTIMATES BEING REDUCED; 8POTNV1ARKETS ARE FIRM. New Orleans, Nov. 21.—Tlmes-Democrat: The firmness of spots, together with the unanimity of crop estimators In placing the figures below twelve millions helped cotton market yesterday morning and encouraged the Idea that until current commitments, which are heavy and extending Into the new year are filled, declines from the existing level of values are destined to be temporary and of no lasting Importune. After January 1 the trade effect or financial retrenchment should be felt In a more settled way, but In the meanwhile money market Improvement, which appears to be progressing Just about as rapidly as conld be expected under the circumstances, should counterbalance In some definite measure the ottprwtse 111 ef* feet* of such retrenchment. ••Leading spot merchants who are familiar with the phvslcal and mental conditions of the cotton belt have not been anxious sellers for forward delivery, but In many cases commitment* hare been forced upon them by foreign merchant* and spinner* whose needs were urgent enough to bring out of- fera that could not be Ignored. Instances are known where American exporter* Have declined to make offering* ’bemM they could not get the cash with which to finance the transaction*.’ and where counter offers came from abroad expressing a willingness to send over the gold eagle* necessary could be assured, the cotton would corn* In due time. But through It £1 Jfomitf •«£» now appear to hare saved first by the can- tlon they have displayed and aecond by the fact they did not realise that the crop was a high-grade crop, therefor*- did not Ignore the prodneer'a Idea of what the spot cotton baaia abould be ao long es futures remain ilepreaaed."—Htjward, Vick A Clark.

(From Hayward. Vick & Clark.) Chicago, Nov. 21.—Bartlett, Frasier & Car rington: Tin* news on wheat from the other side this morning is very encouraging, considering the weakness In our market here yesterday. Can not but believe that later we are going to seo higher prices, but until this December wheat Is placed we un doubtedly will see nervous markets and would advise caution In trading until after the first of the month.

TRADE IN STOCKS WAS LIGHT EARLY Tone Was Affected by the Pronounced Weakness of a Few Issues. ONLY A SLIGHT RALLY New York Central Weak, Selling Early at a New Low Record. By F. C. SHOTWELL. New Y'ork, Nov. 21.—A new low record price for New Y'ork Central waa readied today. The stoek market rallied only fractionally. The broadside denlindatlou of New York banks which came from Wash ington this morning made a profound im pression on the flnnucial world, particularly ■o because there wn* n great deal of reason for It. The ludlef now In Wall street Is that gold will be extracted from Paris by using the new 3 per cent notes a* collateral for loan* made through the Rank of Franc--. New York hnnks hare strengthened their reserves to such an extent that there Is no poMdhliity of a ran developing on any Inatl* tutton. _ The weakness of New Y’ork Central Is due to the new financing tlist Is being planned. Refusal of the Hmeltlng companies to handle the ores from gold mine* Is creating much dlstrer* lu Nevada and mine owners are now being Compelled to par workmen lu check*. In the Goldfield district thu niliiers state that they wills not accept checks snd n shut-down of the mines in thnt district 1* practically certain. This action Is « direct result of the unpatriotic niort- Ynent of the Htuetllng trust In raising bar rier* against the Increased production of gold. A big combination of smelting com panies Is said to be under way. It Is de layed Just now by the ncccAlty of dissolv ing the pool In Hmelters “B" stocks. A very bullish report *on cotton was Issued which announced ginning* up to November 14 to be only 7.311.000 bales, against 8,531,486 bale* n year ngo nt that date. I guidon wn* Irregular. Wheat slightly higher. New Y'ork, Nov. 21.—At mid-day the mar ket had lost practically alt early rallies and wn* weak, although the market leaders were generally better supported than sjie- daltles. There was plenty of short-selling, but a good deni of liquidation very nim-li like that of the recent past.
