The American cotton business was
marked by an improved tone yester
day. The future market at New York
remained pretty steady during the day
and closed with slight gains due. in a
large measure, to anew crop estimate
■which places the probable yield much
below current estimates, to renewed
activity among New England spinners
and a better tone to Southern spot
markets.
In the local spot market the opening
was quiet but at prices unchanged from
the close of the previous day. Sales of
1,084 bales were posted at the open
ing and were the only ones recorded
during the day. At the 1 o'clock call
and at the close prices remained un
changed and the tone was reported
dull.

MANY INFLUENCES
HELPED STEADY MARKET.
New York, Nov. 1. —The cotton mar
ket was very quiet, but ruled general
ly steady and scored small net gains
for the day. The opening was steady
at a decline of 1 point to an advance
of 3 points in response to steady ca
bles. A local trade authority issued
a report estimating the crop as 7.3 per
cent, greater than last year’s, or only
about 10,800,000 bales, and this seemed
to be unsettling the large crop figures
based on the census bureau report
recently published. It did not, how-
ever, seem to be attracting an In
creased demand from outside sources
and trading was again almost en
tirely professional. Reports of a bet
ter feeling in New England spinning
circles and predictions that the Fall
River mills would start up after the
14th of the month may have had some
influence on the market, while private
wires from the South, reporting a
better spot demand at steadier prices,
also had a tendency to restrict opera
tions for a decline. At any rate the
market ruled pretty steady during
the morning with January working
up to about 9.81 c, or a net gain of 7 to
19 points on the active months. Fol
lowing this realizing by room longs
and revived rumors of European com
plications arising out of the North
sea incident caused a partial reaction,
but in the late trading prices were
again steady and were finally steady
at a net advance of s@B points.
Sales were estimated at only 100,000
bales. The fact that New Orleans
was closed for All Saints Day. prob
ably restricted trading here to some
extent. New Orleans orders received
here were few, mostly on the buying
side. Exports for the day were large
and the outlook for to-morrow's re
ceipts was for light figures. Judging
from the estimate.

J. S. BATHE A CO.’S
Dally Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vick A Cos.
New York, Nov. I.—The disposition
to consider a great big crop a settled
thing as a result af the reports of
the census bureau was unsettled by
the special report of the Journal of
Commerce this morning, which indi
cated an increase in production of
about 7 per cent., or a crop of prac
tically 10,800.000 bales. Some people
have taken the ground that this esti
mate does not include allowance for
additional acreage, but we hardly see
how that can be and we understand
that the report includes an allowance
for every cause of increase. Between
the conflicting view in this direction
popular sentiment has not yet em
braced either large or small crop es
timates and probably will await the
December report before doing so. It
is our firm opinion that the govern
ment’s estimate will show a crop in
excess of our own investigation of
about 11,150,000 bales. Meanwhile it is
plainly evident that very little at
tempt is being made to discount any
thing in the future market and the
situation appears to hinge entirely on
the Southern spot markets.
These have shown stubbornness tn
the face of some pressure and the
character of the buying on declines
show that the trade, as a whole, is
pretty well satisfied that this crop
can be used at a reasonable price.
Southern stocks will have to be re
duced before we get any very mate
rial advance, but the market seems
to strike something hard around 9.60 c
for January, and we believe in pur
chases on such breaks.
niCMKKF. A HAMMOND’S
Dolly Cotton Letter from New
York.
New York, Nov. 1. —The market has
shown remarkable steadiness to-day,
giving way only slightly under sensa
tional war rumors which prove to be
without foundation, only to rally
promptly and closed at practically
the highest of the day. It is true
that the highest is not very high, be
ing only 6 points above yesterday, but
the disappointing cables this morning
had led the trade to expect somewhat
softer markets, instead of slight Im
provement. Exports to-day amounted
to 66.011, making for the two day*
228,000, the biggest export movement
on record. Owing to the heavy clear
ances from aom small outport*
where receipts are not counted until
the vessel* are loaded and ready to
sail, the total port receipts were 86,-
000, against 80.000 last year, and to
morrow’s receipts are estimated at
63.000. which is about the fame as a
year ago. There ts still a good deal
of speculation over the meaning of
glnnera' figures. It is believed that
when the totals are made up, which
will probably be to-morrow, Texas will
show as much cotton already ginned
a* the total made on that state last
season, or the season before. Two
year* ago the amount gtnned to Oct.

18 proved to be 73 per cent, of crop,
and if the same percentage should hold
good this year the crop would be In
dicated in excess to make about 400.-
000. It looks, however, as If the mar
ket has past the stage where it can
be talked down or argued down on
basis of crop calculations.
WARE A LELAND
gny Hie Cotton Market Shows Under
lying Steadiness.
New York. Nov. I.—The market
shows not only underlying steadiness,
but every now and then an upward
spurt indicating the accumulation of
cotton in some direction or other. It
is rather difficult to trace the buying,
hut brokers who watch the trading
carefully are authority for the belief
that the short cotton sold in the mar
ket each day recently has been quietly
absorbed and is likely to make trou
ble for the short interest later on.
There was no change in the tone to
day, and early January ran back to
9.740, only to run up quickly to 9.82 c.
It ia an out and out deadlock, but in
view of the near approach of smaller
receipts, of the early resumption of
business at Fall river, of the settlement
of the political uncertainty for another
four years, and the comparatively low
prices, we think al! indications point
to a stronger, rather than a weaker
cotton market.
