Jno. F. Clark & Company’s
Cotton Letter
New York, Oct. 8.—Heavy hedge
selling on the opening found few
buyers because the weather was bet
ter over Sunday than expected and
also because of the publication of
three private reports indicating a
yield of 12,400,000.
These raised crop ideas a little
and was reflected in a break of 50
points. Contracts were taken by
the trade and prices rallied only to
ease off again on renewed southern
selling. regard- •
The map and forecast was
ed as favorable.
Exports were 7,600 bales. It was
said this afternoon that a Washing
ton expert makes the crop 11,500,
000, but I think the majority aiwund
the room expects the government to
say 12,200,000 or 12,300,000 Wednes
day.
