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.

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 difficult to find nnd for sometime to C. B. Willingham, Cotton Factor MACON, GEORGIA.

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.

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.
