THE LOCAL MARKET. The Macon cotton market yesterday r< sponded to the slump in the prices In Now York and New Orleans, and for the tlrst time since tho season opened, did the price of good middling fall below 8 cents. The stock on hand slowly increases. Range of Prices. Good Middling ....7% Strict Middling 7 15-16 Middling 7*; Strict Low Middling 7» t Low Middling 7% Good Ordinary .?V> 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.

Attention was, 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 Immediately following Its publication re gardless of the big decline that has taken place during the last month.

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. Futures ope >lnts lower than last evening’s finals, anuary was 11 points lower at 8.82, ad dr-"- - ” 2 pob I ■ day. with net losses of 59 to 61 points. 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.
