NEW Y(IrK.’DecT 9 —The cotton mar-
I ket showed Increased activity, owing
I largely, It would seem, to more general
covering and pcrhapR a little buying for
the long account as a result or the stead
ier spot situation, though after having
shown a fair net gain In the middle ses
sion, the prices were Anally at a slight
net Joss for the day. . „ .
• The opening was easy at a decline of
6al0 points or about as due on the cables,
Which were disappointing.: Liverpool evt
selling movement Anally carried the price
down to 7.59. other active months show

closed steady with net losses .of II to 16

Macon Brokerage Co.’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dec. 9.~Th<\ cotton fu
ture market continued feverieh With the
trade well scattered In professional cir
cles. There is a fair demand on the lower
levels, but on tho advances there Is fitlll
a lot of cotton for sale, nnd It Is evident
that Some of the bear forces are anxious
to create an easy ruling. The foreign
situation Is viewed more favorably and
the Southern Interests, whllo selling cot
ton In some instances, are reported to he
buying quietly In consequence of the re
ports that some of the nig county Inter
ests are. attempting to create a disposition
on the part of farmers to hold cotton for
better prices, nnd a good portion * of the
crop has already been Hold, nnd with a
good demand for what remains, the farm
ers stand some chance of being a power
In determining the status of tho staple
In the future. The Indications point to a
feverish and scalping market with profes
sionals largely In control of the situation.
Hubbard Bros. A Co.’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dec. 0.—It was under
stood before tho opening that tho weak
ness In Liverpool was due to heavy selling
from this side, and our locnl operators
accepted this Information as an Indica
tion that there would be buying, here.
They have been more disposed to look for
a reaction during the past two days than
for two weeks, and the absence of nny
heavy selling pressuro was noticeable
•from the start. It was believed that sev
eral operators covered some 20.000 bales
around 8e. for March on the Idea that
Liverpool would be sharply better tomor
row on tho lighter movement In the In
terior towns. The temper here ts now to
avoid the short side until It la seen wheth

— J — L«—w • ..—-■* Review.
NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—-The events of
the week are too generally known to need
repetition. The annual crop estimate of
the department of agriculture was Issued
on Saturday,' showing ft yield of 12.600.000
bales nnd over, thus upholding the largest
crop contention and showing that tho
moderate crop vle4rs upon which a large
portion of the trade has been operating
were entirely too small. The effect upon
the market was decided/
' Prices crumbled away nnd January
reached a basis of .7^4 cents or 2% cents
from the prices prevailing n few weeks
ago. The effect upon the business world
been mOro decided than upon the fu-
market. Last year spinners made
.... mistake of buying Very little cotton
below 10 cents early In tho season, nnd
for their error they were compelled to buy
nt 15 cents and over* later on. The
mistake cost consumers millions of money
nnd Instead of buying moderately this
year, ns would have prove! profitable a
year ngo, they wont In And bought very
heavily at prices they refused*to pay last
season. Now that the crop nppears In
excess of all known requirements by per
haps 1.600.000 bnles, prices have broken
away, leaving spinners with raw material
F urchnsed at comparatively high prices,
t was small wonder that the trade should
be demoralized and that business should
come to n standstill. Cotton sold, this
week, at 7.50 nnd Only eleven months
ngo sold on the New York exchange
nt 17.50. This represents n doeline of
Just 10 cents a pound. Making nil duo
nllownnce for tho Inflation of last season.
It would seem as though the condition of
scarcity that brought the high prices
about nnd mndo such Inflation possible
enn hardly be remedied In n few short
months, rind that cotton will be found
to have Intrinsic value, even with a much
n larger crop than had been generally
expected. It will take some time, of
course, for the market to recover from
the demoralizing effects of the govern
ment renort. and radical Improvement enn
be confidently expected for some time
to come. Blit on the other band, there Is
now a general tendency to oversell tho
market, the Booth Is not selling ns freely
ns nt higher prices, nnd It Is not unlikely
thnt great opposition will bo met with
tn the effort to depress prices below
7H In New York, which means 7 cents
In the South. Conservative traders who
have been looking for A eron somewhere
between 11.060.600 and - 11.566.000 bales
have lieen wrong on , the size of the crop,
nnd ns a result wrong on the rotton mar
ket. It Is one of those mistakes that
will occur In the most enlightened con
ditions nnd for which taking the experi
ence of tho past Into consideration, con
servative peoplo have no npologles to
offer. But. even with this In view, rea
sons to anticipate a further decline In
prices at such a level ns now prevails

Dun’s Review.
NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—R. O. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will soy:
Wall street’s severe renctlon was not
due to nny netback In the commercial
world, nil measures of legitimate trade
showing wholesome progress, and con
fidence In the future is unshaken. Rail
way earnings In November averaged
9.2 per cent, greater than In the same
month of 1903, tmd the distribution of
merchandise is sufficiently heavy to
produce freight blockades nt several
points. Manufacturing plants report
increased output in almost every In
stance except where Inadequate water
supply provides a tempomrry Inter
ruption. This difficulty Is most se
verely felt at coke ovens and paper
mills In Pennsylvania. Reasonable
weather has stimulated retail trade In
wearing apparel, nnd holiday goods are
grent demand.
Notwithstanding the sharp decline
raw cotton the cotton good** market
has remained fulrly steady, us sellers
refuse to mako concessions on goods
manufactured from material purchased
before the decline. Only urgent orders
were placed nt the high level, but the
statistical position Is very strong. One
of the best features is tho export trnde,
many mills being well sold ahead on
this class of business.
Failures this week numbered 239,
ngnlnst 331 lust year.

CHICAGO, I >er\ 0.—There was soma
active rovering In the wheat mnrket yes
terday and there was some appreciative
reentry in prices. The cash rnnrketa In
the Southwest show a very strong tenden
cy and the country millers are credited
with buying on an extensive scale. Tho
Northwestern advtrea are more favorable
and larger sides of flour ere being re-
K rted. Btich features are significant and
ey add to the power of the longs. There
la considerable difference of opinion with
regard to the market position of some of
the big Interests. It Is still admitted that
the Armour Interests are long of wheat,
but at the same time It ts saserted that
some of the bulla have withdrawn and
that the Armours may find the going
pretty tough by themselves. The Indtan.
Ilona, however, point to a more active
market, with scalping tendencies.
The com market showed considerable
f trength throughout the day and the feei
ng la quite bullish In some quarters.
The situation In the corn pit Is rather
uncertain, but It Is evident thnt some of
the professionals nre more bearish and
that some of the larger shorts have al
ready covered, while others are making
preparations to redact their comm#-
ments.
