The Morning News Office,
Wednesday, Nov. 27.
'['his was another uneventful day in
commercial circles, with no develop
,... nts calculated to cause a ripple upon
peaceful waters. Cotton was about
t l„ same at New York and spot mar
kets in the South were lifeless. The
country shows no disposition to recede
li-om its position to hold for higher
pri s, and notwithstanding the num
,.] U us bids made them around l-16c be
liiu the asked prices, this failed to in
diirc any considerable business. While
there was a disposition among shorts
to close out contracts, this did not
have any great effect upon prices.
The Savannah f. o. b. market is af
f ted unfavorably just now by the
more attractive offerings at New Or
leans and also at Texas points. It is
said cotton may be bought in that ter
ritory at concessions on the asked
prices here that warrants leading ex
iiorters in transferring their operation?
to other markets for the moment.
However, this may be the convictions
of many holders in the South Atlantic
seems to thoroughly satisfy them in
permitting what demand there is to
be tilled elsewhere at present prices in
the hope of getting the benefit of a
possible rise later on. The government
document to come out Dec. 3 is still
being generally discussed. Referring
to it, the New York Evening Post says
in a recent issue:
"The movement of the crop shows
no change, and general trade conditions
in this country continue satisfactory.
Speculation appears to have simply
halted pending further developments,
and the publication of the government’s
estimate on the crop, which will be
announced at noon on Dec. 3. This
estimate will give the indicated yield
of lint cotton per acre, and also of
the total crop. Its importance is real
ized and appreciated by the cotton
trade generally this year, more so than
ever before, especially in view of the
great divergency of opinions and un
usually large difference in private crop
estimates. These have ranged from
9,850,01)0 bales to 11,250,000 bales mini
mum, and the government is looked
upon this year as being able to fur
nish the only estimate of "a reliable
character to enlighten the trade as to
the probable actual yield. Hence, it is
that speculation at present seems con
fined principally to professional trad
ers, and Is at present mostly of a
scalping character.
"Prices are up about 35 to 40 points
from the lowest quotations of three
weeks ago., and 60 points below tne
high level reached for the various op-'
t lons on Sept. 14. when they sold at
about 8.25 c for the December and Jan
uary deliveries. Meanwhile it is
worthy of note that the 'short’ interest
is still large,’ and that the bear ele
ment and principal spot cotton inter
ests seem to be inclined to resist the
continuance of the improving tendency
of the market and fill up the demand.
In observance of Thanksgiving the
Cotton Exchange, Board of Trade,
banks, and larger business houses will
close to-day.
The naval* stores markets closed
firm, both spirits and rosins. Spirits
i losed at 35%c, with factors' receipts
for the day covered with a bid at this
ligure. The following resume of the
markets-will show their tone and quo
tations at the closing to-day:
COTTON.
This was another featureless day in
both the spot and f. o. b. cotton mar
kets. Demand at asked prices was
light, and as there seemd no disposi
tion to make concessions the closing
found few important transactions re
ported. Receipts continue on a scale
that prevents many from digesting
c'nort crop talk, and until there Is a let
up in the movement sentlmerntjnay not
he ripe for active bullish operations,
notwithstanding all present talk
is decidedly bullish. Savannah
got 9,000 against 7,000 today,
and the ports 49,000, against 45,000. In
the F. O. B. market the same dis
inclination to trade on Europe's fig
ures was again shown, and sales were
made. The fact there was good in
quiry for cotton on a basis of l-16e
below asked prices, was encouraging
to' the trade, and led many to look for
a more active market shortly. Cur
tent ciuotatlons for F G M were 7%c,
and G. M.. 7%c, with the country
asking l-16@%c higher.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
The closing of the week finds the
sea island cotton market in better po
sition, with prices higher than last
week. This is due to the strong sta
tistical position, and also to a Im
provement in the demand. Transac
tions were upon a good scale. The de
velopments of the past two weeks
would apparently indicate that spin
ners are gradually entering the mar
ket. This they are doing in an orderly
manner, however and not so as to
"set the woods afire," as it were.

New York, Nov. 27. —The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices 2 to 3
points higher on scattering demand, led
by room shorts and foreign Interests.
After the call values gained another
point or two on moderate general buy
ing. The better feeling originated in
bullish Liverpol cables and in light in
terior town receipts.
The close proximity of the holiday
tended to put a check upon trading for
both sides. The. early buying carried
January to 7.67 e and March to 7.66 c,
after which there Was a slight setback
under selling by scalpers for profits.
Port receipts were larger, but the trade
found an explanation for this in the
fact that clearances for export were
very heavy. Bulls were rather timid
around the opening as a result of the
issue of some 15,000 December notices,
which, however, were eagerly snapped
up by strong’ spot cotton houses with
out weakening the position of the De
cember -option. Private dispatches from
Liverpool stated that demand for goods
was still active. Southern dispatches
reported a good demand for spot at
full former prices. Weather conditions
in the belt remained clear and cold. At
the close the market was steady with
August one point lower and other
months one to two points 'higher.

Murphy A to.'e Cotton Letter.
New York, Nov. 27.—Prices were 3®S
points higher In the early cotton mar
ket. A nervous feeling prevailed, In
view of the fact that the markets will
be dosed to-morrow, and shorts were
anxious to even up. Cables also were
more encouraging, and even German
advices were that In sections where
spinners have been out of the market
for a long while there was restless
ness, and signs of their soon re-enter
ing. Home orders were coming In, in
anticipation of a bullish bureau report
next week and numerous correspond
ents were reducing their crop estimates

in prices up to noon. Cables were a
shade lower at Liverpool close. Spin
ners at Manchester were nervous,
pending receipt of bureau figures, and
were said to be so bare of raw mate
rial that th.ey would enter the market
as soon as the crop question is set
tled. Everything now hingles on the
bureau report next week, and unless
the figures confirm the very low. esti
mates that are pouring in day after
day through all sources it is hard to
see how prices are going to be main
tained. The general feeling is that
figures must prove small, and this has
prevented the market from going down.
One firm here reports covering 540
counties in all states and applying the
returns of indicated decreased yield as
compared to last year to the counties
unreported it is figured that the crop
will not exceed 8,545,000 bales. It is,
therefore, seen that all produce differ
ent results, varying as much as 2,000,000
bales in the indicated yield, hence we
find the trade more mixed than ever
before and prepared for government
figures as low as 9,500,000 bales and as
high as 10,500,000.
K A: J?. Beer’s Ci ctaa Letter.
New Orleans, Nov. 27.—Reduced crop
estimates and a better demand from
Manchester occasioned an improve
ment in Liverpool causing our market
to open 3 to 4 higher, advancing 2 ad
ditional later on fresh buying, but sub
sequently declined 4 to 6 in the liberal
receipts, closing a net gain of 1 to 2
points on the day. Cables to-day state
that China has stopped buying for the
present because exchange is declining.
Home trade in Stuttgart is poor, but it
is thought spinners hold very small
stock. Spain's local trade is improving.
It was forcibly illustrated by the ac
tion of the market that the specula
tive short interest has been practically
eliminated, fearing the bureau’s esti
mate will be 10,300,000 or under. This
feeling seems to grow the nearer the
time approaches for the issuance of
the documents and is accelerated by
the circular on very small estimates
superinducing extreme nervousness,
preventing business as new engage
ments are restricted, awaiting the out
come of the government’s official esti
mate on Dec. 3. During the interim val
ues will be ruled by the movement. To
morrow, Thanksgiving, Is a legal ‘holi
day. Our exchange will be closed, and
there will be no trading on the curb.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, Nov. 25.—European mar
kets were better than anticipated last
evening, having recovered during the
morning from the depression at the
opening. Our market opened steady, but
sold off to quietly recover and again
lost the advance. There have been no
sellers except against cotton and such
room traders as wish tq be without- In
terest over Thanksgiving; General sen
timent is opposed to the short side and
look for a further improvement on the
•bureau report next Week, There la
hardly a bear on the floor. Notices were
started to-day for about 10,000 bales
by spot houses, which were apparently
stopped to again go on the stock. The
low grades here have proved very pro
fitable this fall, though not wanted last
spring. With such a general bullish
sentiment the market 1s naturally a
long one against cotton held in process
of shipment.

New York, Nov. 27.—There was a
good deal of hesitation about the spec
ulation on the Stock Exchange to-day.
There were a number of conspicuous
advances which failed to attract any
considerable to reflect any
marked Influence general list.
The selling pressure, however, was not
acute. There was moderate realizing
whenever the strength of the market
permitted, but it was not urgent and
was not pushed at the expense of
values.
The bears made an attack on the
market late in the day, encouraged by
the manifest hesitation of the buying,
and succeeded in reducing the price
level considerably, especially at points
where it had been advanced In the
morning. The strong stocks were In
fluenced apparently by individual caus
es, and their movement was not ac
companied by any news to explain It.
Sugar was actively traded In till day,
and was lifted an extreme 3%. Manhat
tan maintained its recent aggressive
strength and advanced 2 points further.
General Electric added 7% points to
its yesterday’s jump, but lost all but
one point of the gain before the close.
The recent severe pressure against
Amalgamated Copper was relaxed and
that stock rallied 1% after reacting to
a shade under last night, but became
comparatively steady above that. The
quieter tone of this stock was a relief
to the whole market and the violent

break Iw -the raw copper market in
London and the heavy selling of Rio
fintos in Paris did not seem to affect it.
There were various other points of
strength among minor railroad stocks
in the group of coalers and Southw est
erns and a large demund for Southern
Railway preferred lifted It at one time
1%. Evansville and Terre Haute gained
4. New York was under pressure at
different times on account of the fail
ure of developments in. the rumored
Vanderbilt plan at yesterday’s meet
ing of directors of the Vanderbilt rail
roads. There was more or less specu
lation based on rumors that the Presi
dent’s forthcoming message was to take
strong ground for the Federal control
or restriction of great corporations, in
cluding the Northern Securities Com
pany.
There was some revived apprehen
sion of further gold exports, induced
by the further recovery in foreign ex
change, the hardening of money rates
in London and the renewed decline in
Sterling Exchange at Paris, hll of
which developments go to intensify the
pressure upon New York for gold. The
expressed confidence of Berlin finan
ciers, accordihg to cabled reports, that
further gold was to go from New York
to that point was also a disquieting in
tiuence. Berlin reports the first awak
ening from the long continued stagna
tion in its stock market and it is said
that American capitalists have been
watchful for a turning point in that
market to take advantage of the de
pression of values for the placing of
some capital. The announcement that
the United States SteeJ Corporation
syndicate was returning to its sub
scribers the 12% per cent, of their sub
scriptions actually paid in, which
amounted to $25,000,000. did not affect
the corporation's stocks, which main
tained their recent stability. This op
eration to figure principally in the loan
item of the banks as a cancellation of
loans. Last week's heavy loan contrac
tion may find an explanation of this de
velopment.
The movement of prices of railroad
bonds was irregular. Total sales re
value $3,290,000. United States bonds
were all unchanged on the last call.
