THE CHRONICLE REPORT.
NEW YORK. Dec. 7.-Heports to us by
lelegraph yesterday from the South Indi
cate that although rain has fallen in al
most all sections during the week, the pre
cipitation has been light as n rule. The
temperature has been lower, with light
enow in portions of the Carollnas toward
the close of the -week. The marketing
of cotton has progressed well.
Liverpool must feel rather upset. Mr.
Neill reiterated and Mr. Ellison .fame out
In the Liverpool Post with an opinion that
the crop Is 11.000,000 bales.
Liverpool took neither very seriously.
It Is evidently watching New York.
Prices rally easily. There is more
spring, more elasticity to the market.
It Is no one-man affair.
Lehman. Stern & Co.. New Orleans: “It
seems that spinners want something more
convincing than an estimate to start them
buying."
With the government rather discounted,
the course of prices depend on the move
ment. and If a boar can point out any
indications of a heavy one, we will be
glad to hear the argument.
TIIE LOCAL MARKET,
MACON. Dec. 7.—On tnat frosty Sat
urday morning, when General Bull found
himself favored by an advance In Liver
pool and New York, ho surveyed the ranks
of his veteran army and concluded that
better feed on captured stores and encour
aged by their late success, a move
In order. Soon the long roll rang down
the lines, followed by the order, column
forward, right dress, and with a Arm and
active step his invlnclbles pitched their
tents 4 higher, when they swore only a
heavy movement could dislodge them.
We close with a good demand, cotton
firmly held at 7% for good middling; 7%
for middling, clean stains 6% to 7%.

New York Cot ion Letter,
NEW YORK. Dec. 7.—The cotton mar
ket opened Arm end up 9 to 11 point# on
very active buying to cover some of the
bigger short accounts, which withstood
the bull movement of the early week.
Generous Wall street buying and confident
support from enthusiastic room bulls did
much to give the market a healthy ap-
peararce. Speculation gave evidence of
broadening, and commission houses were
busy all through the session. While
profit-taking was indulged in freely on
nmounts of March and May. The dominat
ing - lnfiuences were bullish cables and
reports that Southern apot marketa were

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.
Theodore II. Price's Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dec. 7.—Tile New York
cotton market closed the week at the
highest prices recorded since th© publi
cation of the government report. This Is
Ih spite of most desperate efforts made
by the bears to minimise tho Importance
of the report and offset It by redleu-
lously big crop estimates from Mr. Neill
add other alleged authorities. Mr. Neill'S
reaffirmation yesterday of his previous
crop estimate of li;2a0,000 is a confes
sion of desperation on the part of those
who sold cotton on the strength of any
such absurd figures, and they nro tonight
much chagrined to find that their efforts
to recover the cotton they have sold have
been unsuccessful. It looks ns It the cot
ton world had commenced to appreciate
the extraordinary situation with which It
Is confronted, nnd It Is evident that even
If tho crop should exceed the govern
ment estimate, and reach 100,000, which
Seems altogether improbable, that ever
bale o' cotton in existence will be wantei
at .prices much higher than those not
current. The situation is entirely In the
hands of tho producers and owners of cot
ton. at the South. They have only to
ask full prices for the cotton they hold
to secure them. The world must buy, and
In my opinion Is going to buy very
promptly. THEODORE H. PRICE.
Murphy A Co.'s Cotton Letter.
(By private wlro to Murphy & Co.)
NEW YORK. Dec. 7.—Tho opening of
the market was at an advance of to 10
points. There was no little covering of
shorts, and all Wall street buying, which
was helped bv the favorable showing at
Liverpool, where prlecs further gained
2 to 3 points. It may ho relied upon that
the trade there will more and more he
disposed to regard the government report
as of far greater Importance than was at
first supposed, and this Idea will be the
case. It would be folly to claim thnt
shall, after all. have a rood crop. Slight
recessions took place after the opening
on bear selling, but on the whole the
market was well supported. There was
nothing sepeclnl In tho Chronicle weekly
report today, which stated that the mar
keting of cotton has progressed well. In
an editorial the Chronicle calls attention
to the average net weight of tho bales
as '462.2 pounds, which, it says, would bo
equal to 9.215,000 bale* of last year's av
erage weights, nnd adds that If the#® fig
ures are to be credited, tho crop Is small
er than any of tho estimates heretofore
put out. nnd will command a higher
price than has lately ruled for tho world's
wants for current consumption, nnd would
fall to meet the world't* requirements ac
cording to Ellison's estimate* by n million
bales. Receipts at tho ports for tho day
were estimated at 46.000 against 60.000
last year. MURPHY & CO.
XV. E. Small «fc Co.'s Cotton Letter.
(By private wire to W. E. Small A Co.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Unless all signs
fall there arc evidences of a speculative
move In cotton. The West hos made a
great deal of money In tho last few years,
nnd from all wo enn learn the West has
become Interested in cotton to a greater
or less extent. A Western wire house that
seldom trades in cotton bought 5,000 bales
of January yesterday. Buoh buying will
toon tell in tho market, regardless of the
movement, estimates and every other fac
tor. We do not like to express too san
guine opinions on the future of cotton,
hut unless a panic strikes the stock mar
ket and prevents speculation, there Is
every Indication of advancing prices for
<*otton Tho situation Is the reverse of
last year. Spinners have bourht moder
ately at 7% cents, and compared with 10
cents last year. With 5,000,000 bales off

C. O. Grny A Co,'a Cotton Letter.
(By private wire to C. G. Gray A Co.)
NEW* YORK. Dec. 7.—The cotton market
oppned firm at a gain of;J to 9 points
on January. March and May. while
the spot month December was still strong
er at 1 2to 13 points higher. Active buying
soon set In to cover some of the abort
sales of the last few days, and the bulls
were no way loth to help the price along
by confident support. Speculation gave
every evidence of having a generous pub
lic behind,4 «nd was broader and health
ier than previous to th6 bureau report on
tho 4th- The news favored the bull side.
Southern spot markets were reported
firmer, at 1-64 t6 % advance, with a good
demand from exporters. Receipts were
smaller, the weather over the belt was
clear and cold. The close was firm with
a net gain of 12 to 14 points.
A market that can absorb 1,160,009 bales
of contracts In three days, as was tho
case on the New York Cotton Exchange
during tho week Just ended, means no
narrow, professional or scalpers business.
Mr. Neill reiterates his estimate of 11,009.-
m. and Mr. Ellison. In a. letter to tha
Liverpool Post, declares his convictions
•re that the American crop will be 11,000.-
009. But more faith is placed In the gov
ernment report than in the opinions of
private estimaters. The course of prices
wiu naturally depend on the receipts at
the ports and interior, and the action
of the spinners. We can't see anything
in the former pointing to a heavy move
ment, and the latter seem less confident
in spite of the big estimates. Before
the bureau appeared the bears claimed
they would add 5W.ord to the figurS* Sow
they Insist on a million.
We expect violent fluctuations, and be
lieve purchases on recession! or sales on
a bulge will show a good profit.

after the close of the market yesterday
that the nature of the dealings in wheat
became evident. AH day the struggle be
tween sellers and buyers continued and

place In the four hour** session. Tb!-
mornlog the highest Price on the crop
was recorded, with May selling at Mr.
Transactions were about the largest for
eny Saturday of the season, or. in fart,
for two or three seasons. For three
months the speculation has been In coarse
grains, but now the trade la in wheat

with a rush of buying orders.
TTia market proved to be a wild one with
commission houses doing the buying with
professional realizing that the market for
wheat la now no ordinary affair. Coarse
grain operators who have made so much
money on the advance in corn and oaf*
have taken on big linen of wheat and
buying behind the market is different from
anythTag the trade haa experience
