The Morning News Office,
Friday, Nov. 27.
The week closes with no unusual ac
tjviiy iii any of the leading markets,
for a time cotton fluctuated rampant
)v i,ut the closing finds that market
we ll tamed, with an entire absence of
friskiness. At New York and New Or
gans to-day the closings were around
S to 15 points above Wednesday’s
prices.
Spot cotton closed firm at the ad
v;,nte, with the offerings moderate and
holdeis willing to accept nothing short
of asked prices. On the theory that
if not taken now it will be later on
holders show no eagerness to sell.
In the f. o. b. market a fair demand
was reported, with the offerings limit
oj. At 1 p. m. the committee quoted
the market ll%c, and at 4 p. m. 11 5-16
to ll%c. The tone was steady. The
interior maintain the same attitude
they did weeks ago, and see no rea
son to fear a yield that will prevent
them from getting good prices for their
cotton.
Turpentine closed firm at 56c. Ros

kets closed steady. Details of the dif
ferent markets follow:

change. Sales were 982 bales. The
demand was fairly good. In the f. o.

the offerings fairly free. At Ip. m.
the market was officially quoted ll%c,

COTTON FUTURES.
New York, Nov. 27. —The cotton mar
ket opened firm after the holiday with
prices net 11(0)12 points higher on ac
tive covering, and bull support follow
ing much better Liverpool cables tWan
expected and rather unfavorable weath
er, rains having been reported over
Thursday with temperatures this morn
ing, low all over the belt. After a lit
tle further firmness and activity, how
ever, during which quotations at one
time were net 15@16 points higher on
the active positions, trading became
less ‘active, and realizing imparted an
easier tone to prices, which, while more
or less irregular, showed somewhat of
a declining tendency during the bal
ance of the session, reaching at the
lowest point a level only about 6 to 8
points above Wednesday's finals. To
ward the close there \v‘as rather a bet
ter demand, particularly for December
and the market was finally steady net
6 to 10 points higher with November,
10, and December, 9 points higher.
Sales were estimated at 200,000 bales.
Receipts at the ports for Thursday were
considerably under-estimated while to
day's tnovement w*as moderate.
Estimates for to-morrow's receipts at
leading points were heavy on the aver
age. Exports yesterday were fair and
to-day light, but the total thus far for
the season is now well over last years
figures, and is pointed to by bulls as
indicating a continued demand abroad.
It was the first notice day for De
cember contracts and about 15,000 bales
were tendered, being promptly stopped
by people believed to be representing
Philadelphia interests.
Recepits cotton at the ports to-day
49,953 bales, against 60,173 last week
and 43,875 last year. For the week
420,000 bales, 'against 447,897 last week
and 302,540 last year. To-day's re
ceipts at New Orleans were 13,301 bales
against 14,934 last year, and at Hous
ton, 18,245 bales, against 7,825 last year.

cluding 2,250 to arrive.
At the opening of the future market
prices were firm and 9 to 1 points high
er than YVednesday's close. Shorts cov
ered freely and longs bought heavily,
forcing prices up 8 to 10 points above
the opening. This was followed by
realizing sales which caused prices to
recede sto 6 points. The firmness of
the market to-day was attributed to
the advance in Liverpool and the re
port that shorts there were nervous on
account of the strong bullish sentiment
prevailing in America. The local
market closed quiet, the net gains be
ing 7 to 14 points.

time In months brokers and brokers'
clerks have had a quiet week. Trad
ing has been very light, and prices suf
ficiently steady to prevent much ac
tivity. Nothing that could have hap
pened in the way of an active market
would have been as welcome to the
trade as this breathing spell. Excite
ment enough will be forthcoming this
year to make us all appreciate a week
of camparatlve quiet. Several factors
led up to this narrow market. First,
the approaching government report;
second, the big receipts; third, con
flicting crop estimates, and, fourth,
profit-taking. But nil the while the
tone appeared to be gathering strength,
so that the advance which came to
day was not unexpected. There seemed
to be a ready market for'all cotton of
fered, and prices needed no support.
The market was dull, but it held well,
and took care of itself. A week ago
the conservative element was engaged
in profit-taking. Towards the close of
this week, the situation seemed such
as to favor moderate buying, and this
brought in orders enough to cause quite
an upturn. Some were of the opinion
that this would enable semie of the
large holders to sell. It is highly prob
able that the large estimate of the
New York Exchange this week, 10,-
724,000, caused holders to work for an
advance before the bureau. However,
this may be, the majority were not in
clined to buy freely before the report
and considerable cotton came out on
Ihe advance. A small estimate is ex
pected from Washington, and it will
require less than 10,250,000 bales to
cause much of an advance. Should the
figures prove under 10,100,000 there
would be a wild market. As it is, those
who have been long for some time, are
taking advantage of the advance to
realize profits. No one knows what the
bureau will be, and since the market
wall be here all time, many believe it
wise to take their money when it can
be taken and then stand ready to op
erate as soon as the bureau is known.
This is the part of wisdom, and the
policy commends itself to shrewd trad
ers. It is now just two weeks since
profit-taking over 1174 c began, and
those who took their profits have had
many opportunities to buy a dollar a
bale lower. There is no change in the
general situation. If reports coming
are to be relied on, we look for a wild
market. Until after the bureau, how
ever, we would buy on good breaks
cnly. The outlook then will be a little
clearer. We would not go short on
cotton under any considerations.
Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, Nov. 27.—Liverpool ad
vanced to much higher level than was
looked for and gave New York priegs
a boost. This shows that the public
is in no mood for accepting big crop
estimates, a number of which have ap
peared for several days past. Best op
erators cannot rid themselves'of the
idea that cotton has been sent to
market this year faster than ever be
fore on account of the high price, and
that there will be a sharper falling off
in the movement than ever before ex
perienced at an early date. Holders are
securing their own prices despite tlie
cry that it is selling too high. The fact
is we have long been working on a
basis entirely too low and after we
have been accustomed to 12 cents cot
ton and higher it will be discovered
that cotton has been for years entire
ly too low, and manufacturers must
advance prices of their products. Very
bullish reports come from Manchester.
New York advanced 13 points during
the morning. The South sent some
buying orders. Big crop estimates
were again numerous, but were out
numbered by small estimates. The
Southern spot offers abroad were so
scarce that spinners in England were
scared. Cables were 6 to 11 points over
Wednesdays figures. The week's
movement leaves the total so far be
hind last year about 125.000. Esti
mated ports to-day, 50,000, against 44,-
000 last year.
Estimates for to-morrow: Houston,
16,500 to 18,000, against 5,209 last year;
New Orleans, 17,000 to 18,000, against
29,034; Galveston, 25,000 to 28,000
against 10,689 last year.
A. Xorden A Co.’* Cotton Letter.
New York. Nov. 27. —Liverpool ad
vanced rather sharply over our holi
day, owing to the continued small crop
estimates being sent from this side,
and also, according to our private ca
ble, to an .improvement in the demand
for yarn with an expectation that spin
ners would increase their takings. Our
market was held back to some extent
by very heavy realizing, principally on
old orders that become practicable on
the advance, and the execution of these
orders has improved the technical posi
tion of the market. There is hardly
much reason to expect a further seri
ous advance between now and Dec. 3,
and we continue to believe that the
market will be rather dull, though with
an increasing strength from day to
day. The expectations as to the bu
reau continue very mixed, ours be
ing that it will be very little, if any,
over 10,000,000 baits, and should this
prove correct, a sharp advance should
result. While In former years the fig
ures of the bureau generally proved
ridiculous, their reports have been
more carefully compiled recently, and
we believe they now carry considera
ble weight. As the consolidated esti
mate of the members of the Liverpool
Exchange is over 11,000,000 bales, an
estimate such as we expect should have
considerable effect in that market.
