SepL 1, 1908 1,178 Nov. 25. 1908 18,555 NEW YORK, Nov. 25—The cotton mterkot was leas actlvo 'today and ahowed continued lr^;ularlty, but the undertone waa fairly steady and tha close tvaa steady, net three points low er to eight points higher, late months being relatively firm. Sales waro es timated at 150,000 bales. The market opened steady at a decline of laS points on all months except August, which was net unchanged, and during tho early session ruled about 2 to 8 points net lower owing to disappoint ing cables, pre-holiday liquidation and rather bearish showing of the crop es timates by New York cotton exchange members. Hut offerings were well ab sorbed and during the afternoon prices developed considerable firmness on covering and some fresh buying for long account, which was probably pro moted by talk of steadier interior mar kets and expectations of a broadening public demand- after the holiday. Aft er showing a net advance of la5 points on the active months prices eased off 8 or 4 points from tho top under real izing. The Individual crop estimates of 170 members of the New York Cot ton Exchange range from 12,400,000 to 14.650.000 bales, the averago being 13.- 321,000 bales. Last year the average estimate of the exchange members was 11,973.000 bales. Private advices from Memphis reported an unusually good spot da mand with factors inclined to hold, 8outhem spot markets officially re- ported were generally unchanged. Port receipts were heavy but were again exceeded by the days’ exports, and he heavier movement of tho last two or three days Is supposed to re flect the demapd for end of the month commitments. Receipts at the ports today 90.507 bales against 64.181 last week, and 56,054 last year. For tho week 425.000 •against 405,493 last week and 335,820 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 21,- 163 bales against 14,444 last year and at Houston 25,196 against 2,510 last year. Of a show for dark corners in a hpuse illuminated by electric ity.

This buying was suf ficient to enable tho market to stand up against tho heavy profit taking sales which were going on to meet tho demand. Thereafter tho resisting power Of tho market >\<Mk<Micd and lower priccw were registered. The supposed Imminence of a financial project for the* benefit of Southern Paclflo continued to exercise a strong inllucnce on sentiment until It was { •ercelved that whatever demand was netted by this was being freely sup plied. {Southern .Pacific waa carried to a new record price at 120V4 ana union Pacific sold at the highest price of tha praaent year at 114 6-1. Thess war* tho exceptionally strong stocks but their course served ss an index of a tendency. The tone of reaction Ibecutne more clearly deflped with the announcement of tho Erl© project for ihe Issue of 830.000,000 of five per cent collateral bonds. It would possible to asy whether the decline In Erl© which followed was caused wholly by speculative realizing or to disappointment over the form and scope of the financial plan. A rise of a point In Atchison was lost on thel publication of the statement of earn ings for October which wero unde niably favorable with a gain In net over October of last year of 1498,300. Tho New York public utilities and the coalers were strong at times, the lat ter on account of the prosperous con dition for the Industry Indicated by th© customary extra disbursement • of ten per cent by the Delaware.

Both groups were affected by suppositions of coming favorable supreme court de cisions on the 80-cent gas law and on tho contested commodities claus* of the Hepburn law. The agitation for reduction of duties on steel had gome depressing effect on Unltod States steel. Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value 37.528,000. United States bonds were unchang- Lon call.
