Dec. 1.1 The Sun says. Whlh the market was undoubtedly Irregular, still showing Some of the effects of Tuesday'* perturbation, th*; tone on the whole wn* steadier, and this because It Is beglnnlnij to be questioned whether It will do to nib! 600.0110 to 1,000.000 bales or even more to tie government crop estimate. Th* 1 bureau ol statistics has been within the year under n fire of criticism so sex ere that, human na turc being what If I*. Influenced more o* less at ull times hy the general law of tin love of approbation. It seems no straining of logic to assume that an earnest effort was made this year to get ut the fact The bureau Is on trial as It never wns b fore. It seems unlikely under the circuit stances to sin In the direction of unde estimating as It did last year aud the yet before. It Is said Hint new and lietter methods have lx*en ndopted. If this Is so, and If the estimate Issued on Tuesday I* to be regarded as approximating the netunl yield. It enn hardly im> considered an argil incut for lower prices, on the contrary, those who contend that It muy well la* deemed a foundation for higher prices seem to be worth heeding. It would mean simply that the production of raw cotton Is keep ing pace with the consumption and in more. However this may be. there wni certainly more pressure to cover shorta nft er the first decline yeaterdny. due to over night selling orders titan there wns to sell, although the receipt* continued large and there Js no doubt that Wall street, the Kouth and New Orleans sold considerable cotton nuriiig the day, partly for short ac count.
