RAPID ADVANCE FOR
COTTON CONTRACTS
Local Market on Better
Selling Basis.
Though a very poor Liverpool cast
a gloom over the cotton market early
in the session, the depression was
only for a short time and in the
rally which followed prices were
swept triumphantly upward until
at the close was nearly a quarter of
a cent in some instances above the
final for Saturday.
Habersham King, of Georgia, has
a good share of the honor of the ad
vance, for when the market was de
cidedly in a droopy condition he let
loose his crop estimate of 11,750,000
bales. This followed so closely be
hind the estimate —or more properly
the estimates —of Mr. Buston, the
English authority, who was reported
as placing the crop all the way from
11,000,000 to 12,000,000 bales, produc
ed a hasty revulsion of feeling among
some who had been sounding the
bear drum most strenuously, and in
the zeal of a new convert these trad
ers rushed for protection. The im
proved condition in the financial world
also had a good effect. On the other
side of the medal, Galveston came in
with a colossal estimate for today’s
receipts, which exerted a brief but
telling effect upon the market.
On Friday the census bureau will
issue its report on the amount of
cotton ginned to Nov. 1. It is the
general expectation that the figures
will be around 6,000,000 as against
6, 906,000 last year. The figures nam
ed are regarded as bullish.
New York opened at declines of 16
to 19 points and New Orleans at de
clines of 10 to 14 points, but after a
little hesitancy turned to a higher
level. The close at New York was 12
to 19 points net higher , for the active
months, with December leading.
Spots were'marked up 10 points. New
Orleans closed 18 to 22 points above
the close for Saturday. Spot quota
tions were advanced l-16c.
Liverpool spots were quoted at 5.97,
a loss of 7 points, with sales 8,000
bales. Futures opened 6to 8 points
off, but improved until the close was
2 to 6 points net lower as compared
with Saturday’s close.
The receipts at the ports for the
day were 52,000 bales, of which New
Orleans got 18,423, Galveston 12,608
and Savannah 9,664. The estimates
for today are: Galveston 34,500 to
36,500, against 25,600 last year; New
Orleans 14,000 to 16,500; Houston 18,-
000 to 19,000.

manifested to wait for better prices,
and the amount of cotton offering
was not large. The wagon receipts
for the day were 154 bales.

CLARK k TO.’S COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—With a Liver
pool that arrived 6 to 8 down in sym
pathy with the heavy decline in New
Orleans Saturday after the close of
our market, we opened 15 to 20 down.
Around 10.12 for January the market
met excellent buying by the friends
of Habersham King who were on the
inside of his crop estimate, the ring
suspected something in the shape of
a cold deck being run in and imme
diately helped the advance along by
covering their early selling. The
King report was in the nature of a
surprise as he has been very bearish
in his views for several weeks, and it
is a confirmation of the Buston guess.
The good tone in the stock exchange
THE VMERICI S DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1907.
$7.50 Silk PetPcoats at $4.98.
The price is actually far below
the preesnt cost of the goods. How
can we sell them at this figure and
not lost ? Simply because we bought
them before the recent rise in silks.
They are made of guaranteed taffe
tas, all sizes and lengths, sale price
$4.98.

equal to some of the grades selling

Great assortment of new 38-inch
plaids. Some of the prettiest pat

helped the bulls along in their efforts
and a good frost over the belt last
night was another stimulating argu
ment. There will be wholesale re
ductions in crop estimates from every
section now, and the seller will not
be so bold as of late. Another large
cut in cotton goods was announced
today and on this and the large Gal
veston estimate the market sagged off
during the lunch hour. With the fin
ancial situation getting better and the
possibility of a bullish ginners on
Friday next we are inclined to the
belief that cotton will rule steady
and it can be bought for a turn on
all recessions. New York cotton and
stocks will be closed tomorrow • on
account of elections.
