UACKWAIIDNESS AMONG HOLDERS
ABOUT SELLING THEIR COTTON.

The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Dec. 7.
The feature of to-day’s markets was
the strong position of the cotton mar
kets everywhere, due to an improved
demand and a backwardness among
holders about offering cotton in the
open market. Except at the best prices,
therefore, very little cotton found its
way to brokers on any of the ex
changes, as holders are so confirmed in
their bullish ideas that they have no
fears as to what the future has in store
for them, They look for higher prices,
and at the moment there are many
reasons for believing they may come.
Judging from the activity at New
York throughout the day the market
seems to be shaping itself for a bull
campaign. Among the more careful ob
servers the opinion prevails that the
time is ripe for a rush upon the bears,
who could be thrown into disastrous
excitement just now because of the
fact that they are on the fence as to
how they will construe the recent gov
ernment report. They must decide
whether that report is correct or in
correct, and while the bulls must do
likewise they have the advantage, for
the presumption is that the government
is nearly right in its conclusions. How
ever this may be, talk of nine-cents
cotton is being heard on the streets,
which shows which way the wind is
blowing so far as the feeling among
the general public goes.
In the naval stores market a fair de
mand prevailed for supplies, though
rosins seemed somewhat neglected.
Spirits was active all day, and the clos
ing found the market in strong and
buoyant position. Owing to the ap
proaching holidays buyers are on the
lookout for supplies, and particularly
are they in search of thepi if their
needs are urgent.
The wholesale markets closed steady
and with a satisfactory business do
ing. The following resume of the mar
kets will show their tone and quota
tions at the closing to-day:
COTTON.
The local spot market was in strong
position throughout the day, with the
demand good and sales of 1,458 reported
by factors. Receipts were 6,600,
against 6,900 last year. The offerings
were limited, both on the spot and
from the interior, and this helped ma
terially to produce the prevailing hard
ening tendency. Cotton futures at New
York closed firm, 12 to 15 points higher.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
The sea Island cotton market was
active during most of the past week*
with the demand from exporters very
satisfactory. Prices close at the ad
vance as to all grades, and the inquiry
is promising for a continued good de
mand. The statistical position, to
gether with the indications of a very
moderate crop, are the influences which
are contributing to the better feeling.
Unless a great deal of cotton is being
held back on plantations the trade
generally agree the crop will be around
65,00 to 75.000 bales In their opinion.
And if any cotton Is being held back
present prices are believed to be such
as will bring it out, The current quo
tations are:

COTTON FUTURES.
New York, Dec. 7.—The cotton mar
ket opened firm and up 9@ll points on
very active buying to cover some of
the bigger short accounts, which with
stood the bull movement of the early
week. Generous Wall street buying
and confident support from enthusias
tic room bulls did much to give the
market a healthy appearance. Specu
lation gave evidence of the broadening
and commission houses were busy all
through the ssesion. While profit-tak
ing was indulged in freely on the &d
--vance by those investors who were far
sighted enough to buy cotton before the
bureau statement made its appearance,
the public picked up many moderate
amounts of March and May. The dom
inating influences were bullish cables
and reports that Southern spot mar
kets were hardening on urgent demand
from exporters. Receipts at the ports
were smaller than last Saturday and
last year and crop information was
bullish. The weather South was clear
er and colder over pretty much the
entire belt. The market closed firm,
with prices net 12@15 points higher.

rt. & 11. Beer’s Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, Dec. 7.—Liverpool was
better than looked for in consequence
of limited offerings from the South,
and more doing in Manchester. Our
market responded by opening 7 to 8
higher, improved 11 to 12 additional on
the firmness of spots and fresh buying,
closing at a net gain of 19 to 20 points
on the day.
Anew inquiry has been inaugurated
by the agricultural bureau this year,
asking for the yield of seed cotton per
acre, and not yield of lint per acre, as
formerly; and also, percentage com
parison with last year’s yield of seed
cotton. This naturally was confusing
to most of the correspondents, which
may have led to erroneous answers,
and probably occasioned the bureaus
low crot> estimate, as many believe the
bureau should be accepted as a stand
ard authority, we append below the es
timates given by them in thousands
during the past six years, compared
to the actual crop and the deficiency
in these years.

From the above it will be seen that
four years ago the bureau underesti
mated the crop over 2,000,000 bales and
the following year it was nearly 1,-
300,000 less. It is therefore thought by
conservative operators that the new
system of inquiries this year may be
Instrumental In causing the bureau
to be considerably under the actual
crop this year, especially as their Oc
tober report'indicated a crop of 10,-
500,000 bales. However, for the pres
ent everyone is bullish and sentiment
may force prices higher, unless there
is decided increase in receipts.
Tlieo. 11. Price on Cotton.
New York, Dec. 7.—The New York
cotton market closed the week at the
highest prices recorded since the pub
lication of the government report. This
Is in spite of most desperate efforts
made by the bears to minimize the
Importance of the report and offset it
by ridiculously big crop estimates
from Mr. Neill and other alleged au
thorities. Mr. Neill's reaffirmation
yesterday of his previous crop esti
mate of 11,250,000 is a confession of
desperation on the part of those who
sold cotton on the strength of any
such absurd figure, and they are to
night much chagrinned to find that

their efforts to recover the cotton they
have sold have been unsuccessful. It
looks as if the cotton world had com
menced to appreciate the extraordinary
situation with which it is confront
ed, and it is evident that even if the
crop should exceed the government
estimate and reach 16,000,000 bales,
which seemj? altogether improbable;,
that every bale of cotton in existence
will be wanted at prices much higher
than those now current.
The situation is entirely in the hands
of the producers and owners of cotton
at the South. They have only to ask
full prices for the cotton they hold
to secure them. The world must buy
and, in my opinion, is going to buy
very promptly.

New York, Dec. 7.—Our market
opened with sales of January at 8.05-
8.04-8.03-8.02 c, and after selling at 8.02-
8.06 c, ruled at 8.04 catll a. m. Liver
pool closed firm at from two to three
points advance on American buying.
Our market opened steady and quiet
on realizing by interests which failed
to sell on the last advance. The mar
ket remained under the influence of
this liquidation until towards the close,
when heavy buying for Western ac
count carried the market to the high
est prices at the close. The sentiment
continues very bullish and higher
prices are expected in LiverpooL on
Monday. The Chronicle editorially
states it cannot agree with the low es
timate of the bureau judging from
observation of the crop during its de
velopment. It continues, nor can It find
the authority for a net weight of 468
pounds. If the weights of last sea
son be applied to the bureau limit,
the estimate is wrong. The spot mar
ket was quiet, l-16c advance.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Dec. 7.—The dry-goods
market closes with a very firm tone in
cotton goods and some improvement in
demand. In brown cottons sellers are
frequently holding for %c advance. No
change in bleached goods. Coarse col

Prints are firm, with steady demand.

New York, Dec. 7.—Speculators long

carried nrices below last Saturday’s

The copper stock touched 64%, a loss

ed and resisted the decline stoutly. On
the second break, after the appearance
of the bank statement, the weakness
became very general at losses of 1 to
3 points. New York Central, Great
Northern preferred, St. Paul, Chicago
and Northwestern, Rock Island, the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
stocks and General Electric were espe
cially weak. The bank statement was
even weaker than expected. The loss
in the reserves reached over $7,000,000,
and an expansion of over $5,000,000 in
the loans stretched the legal reserve
requirement, so that the surplus was
cut in half and brought to below $7,-
000,000. Heavy losses in Amalgamated
Copper necessitated sacrifices in other
stocks. It was manifest that recent
pool support in various stocks had been
withdrawn, the insiders having pre
sumably taken their profits on the
week’s rise. The transfer of funds
for speculation to the grain and cot
ton markets impinges on the supply
available for the stock market.
Liquidation for account of an Impor
tant firm about to retire is believed to
figure largely in the selling. The acute
weakness of the American Tin Can
stocks on the curb was an incident of
the day’s market. The close was fev
erish, but slightly better than the
worst.
There has been a good demand for
railroad bonds this week, mostly of
the speculative and semi-speculative
class. The United States refunding
2s advanced % and the 3s registered %
per cent, over the closing call of last
week.
