New York Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dec. 28.—The sensational
decline in cotton was continued today as
a result of aggresslvo bear pressuro im
mediately preceding the publication of
the ginners report at midday, after which
there was heavy liquidation and further
pressuro so that the downward tendency
wss continued with the market finally
barely steady at the lowest point of the
session and every active option on the' list
selling well below .tho 7-cent mark, with
the near monthf around 6ft cents. Tho
opening was steadied by the relatively
good showing of Liverpool and Increased
spot business reported there, with first
S rices showing a decline of 3 points on
anuary and an advance of 2a( points
on the later positions. Rut the bear lead
ers were hammering the market, and
shortly after the opening there was a
break, carrying the market to a net loss
of Ratf points. Later thero was a partial
rally on covering, but Just before the
census report was received prlres sagged
off again, showing that the big bears were
confident of their position

hears took it as indicating a total crop
of around 11,000,000 bales, while the low
er Wall street bear leader, after the re
port was Issued, mlsed his estimate of the
crop to lJ.MIO.oto halo*. Th. report w««
followed by active liquidation. , While
some of tho big shorts appeared to be
covering at the decline, support was
withdrawn on evory little bulge and bear
pressure rene.wed, with the market show
ing a final loss of 3*38 points for the
day. Tho closing tone was 1 barely steady,
and sentiment was very apprehensive of
a bad slump in the Southern spot markets

In futures, dales of futures for the day
were estlmatefl at about 900,000 bales.
Receipts of cotton at the..ports today
were 48.717 bales against 61.916 bales last
week and 60,438 bales last year. For
the week 300.000 bales against SOI 918
bales last week and 297,788 bales last
yciir. Today's receipts at New Orleans
were 16,164 bales against 23,680 hales last

cember, 737 cotton producing
n the South had ginned
two round bales a* the
of one square bale) 11.848,-
of .CQtton. The census de
partment further states that the re
maining unreported counties hqd
ginned this season prior to November
14th, 1904, tt.Hl bales, counting round
bales as half bales.
A very conservative estimate of the
total quantity yisy have ginned this
season up to December 13th is 100,000
bales, on which basis I estimate, there
fore. that all the counties in the cot
ton belt bad ginned up to fits • 18th
December this year 11,948,113. or prac
tically 12,000.000 bales. To this must
bo added the cotton picked and un
picked, but not ginned, on December
13th. Lost season there were ginned
after December 13th 1,324,885 bales
and the season before last 1,725,442
bales. I belleV* that much more re
mains to be ginned this year than in
either of tho two previous seasons,
hence my estimate of 13.500.000 bales
or more. The theory is that this
amount will.not be destroyed. It will
shortly bo recognized that the crop Is
not to be reckoned by port receipts
and the stocks at thirty-one arbitrarily
selected Interior towns. The cotton
so coming "Into sight'* Is for the most
part sold* and is not a factor of de
pression. It is the unsold cotton In
first hands yet to find a market which
will carry prices downward. ■■■
On the 13th of December the indi
cated quantity ginned was (as above)
12,000.000 bales. There wero*in sight
6.844,332 bale's. There were ginned,
but In sight, therefore, 5,155,668 bsles,
to which must bo added still to bo
ginned at least 1,500,000 boles, or a to
tal of 6.655,668 bales In farmers* hands,
Invisible and unsold on Dtnpmber 18th.
Such k situation Is without precedent
In the trade. It cannot but result ip
polonged and acute depression to
probably the lowest prices ever
reached.
The world's spinning trade. Impov
erished by last year's high prices and
the previous * year's comer. Is without
the resources or credit requisite for
the accumulation of large surplus
stocks. Even were it otherwise It Is
not to be expected that manufacturers
will be so lacking In commercial sa
gacity ns to buy largely at prices that
are not as yet even moderate
■when considered In relation to condi
tions present and prospective. A sur
plus st the end of the season of ap
proximately 1.000.000 bales has gen
erally resulted in 7-cent cotton at
somo time during the spring or sum
mer. A surplus of over 2,000.000 bales
has only once existed and the price
was 5 0-16 cents and did not advance
above 6% cents for nearly a year. In
my opinion,' the surplus, supply ovor
tho most liberally estimated consump
tion for this season will not be less
than 2,500.000 bales. It makes no dif
ference whether It Is visible or not. it
will l»e on hand and must be sold. Its
selling must probably carry cotton to
prices as low ns the prospective sit
uation Is unprecedented. On the facts
any other conclusion Is Illogical.
