COTTON
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—The agricul
tural department estimates this yea
cotton crop at 12.162,000 bales. It Is
officially stated that this # estimate
s not include the production of
llnters, which is probably not less than
,000 bales.
The figures therefore may be ac
cepted as Indicating a minimum of
500,000. and as in the case of record-
breaking yields, the department has
never failed to underestimate the crop
by from 10 per cent, to 15 per cent.,
is my opinion that for practical pur
poses today’s crop estimate may be
taken as indicating a commercial crop
at least 12,750,000 bales, and possi
bly 13,000,000.
With such a supply it Is hard to say
how low cotton will go. It. indicates a
visible surplus at the end of the year
of at least 2,000,000 of American cotton,
and such a supply has never failed in
the past to carry prices considerably
below 7 cents and some times as low
as 5% cents. I see no reason why his
tory should not repeat Itself, and Ad
vise holders to sell as promptly as pos
sible and before spinners fully appre
ciate the tremendous advantage they
now occupy In being able to make
practically their own prices for such
cotton as they may have.

of course, directed exclusively toward
P reparing for the government estimate a
ttle after the first hour, and during the
early trading prices shot up and down so
Irregularly that it was almost impossible
to keep track of the range of values. In
a general way. however, they averaged
between the opening and last night’s close
with considerable covering In progress.
As the hour of the report approached,
the market quieted down somewhat and
ruled around last night’s prices. Futures
closed barely steady with prices net 62
to 67 points lower.
Before the government report was Is
sued. prices had worked down again to
the low point of the session. The report,
when issued, proved n distinct surprise
even to' the hears, showing a crop of 12,-
162,000 bales, exclusive of llnters. and
prices broke about half a cent a pound

New Orleans Cotton Lettsr.
NEW ORLEANS. Pec. 3.—There were
sales or snot cotton today on which
base quotations on. Sales after hours
yesterday were 2,600 halos. Including 350
bales to arrive and 250 hales f.o.b.
A heavy slump mnrked the announce
ment of the bureau report on the cotton
exchange today and a wild scene followed
around the ring. In anticipation of a
day of excitement, tho floor and the gal
leries were filled with Indies. The esti
mate of 12.162.000 hales was a surprise,
marking by dose to a million bales the
largest crop yet raised. Prices foil from
48 to 58 points within a few mopicr.ts
after reading the report, nnd renros—
about $2.50 per bale. Many excited . ..
try bankers were.on tho floor. They had
been lending money on a basis of 8 cents
and above. January broke to 7.88. March
to 8c. and May to 8.13. There were
slight recoveries from the figures, hut In
the battle at the ringside, prices fluct
uated so rapidly that long after 11 o’clock
tho market was still In a highly troubled
state. Only the fact that tho ginners’
eport hud Indicated a bearish report, on
bllng the bulls to protect themselves
saved the market from a vory much
heavier slump.

Hubbard Bros. A Co.’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Doc. 3.—Our market
r ned with sales of December at 8.34
40. and after selling at 8.47, ruled A
i.02 at 12 noon, nnd closed barely steady.
The spot market was quiet at 4 points
decline; middling 8.60, last year 12.65.
scone of wild excitement followed flip ■_
nouncement of tho bureau estimate of
the cotton crop, and three-quarters of nn
hour after that was left at the tnwest of
tho session, the brokers being too busy
to consider the after effects of such a
crop as 12.162.600 hales. This estimate
does not Include llnters, which would In
crease the yield some M0,600 hales, so
that wo are facing the effect of a govern
ment estimate of over 12,250.000, and tho
department has never over estimated a
crop. The effect of this estimate would
be to drive away in any advanneed buy
ing until the market reaches a levd which
thd public behoves Is at or Mow the cost
of producing cotton. 8plnners will lay
In a reservo supply before that point
Is reached, and there will be covering of
short, sales with which to steady prices,
after the effect of this estimate Is felt.
We do not believe that It hn* been felt
since prices recorded at tho close of tho
market today. Nor do wo believe the
commercial crop this season will reach
12,506,006 bales, ns there will ‘be n large
amount of cotton carried over, should the
market decline sharply.
