J. S. IIACHE A CO.’S
Daily Colton Letter to Hayward,
Viclt A Cos.
New York, Nov. s.—Liverpool re
ported a quiet market, depressed by
week-end liquidation and American
selling orders. Prices there closed 6
points lower for futures and 8 points
lower for spots. The developments
here made it look as though the ad
verse Influence of the cables and the
desire of smaller to liquidate
rather than carry their holdings into
anew week curtailed by the holiday
on Tuesday were being used by the
bears for covering. Wall street bought
heavily and Philadelphia bought De
cember. There was not much doing
otherwise. The market opened at a
decline of 3 points to an advance of
1 point and following the call sold up
to a net gain of about 2 to 8 points,
then eased off again, but showed a
pretty steady tone and little tendency
either way. There was nothing about
the trading that could be regarded as
having any substantial bearing on the
probable future of the market. The
weather may showed scattering rains,
but nothing that could be construed
as interfering with the movement or
threatening the quality of cotton re
maining in the field. Estimates as to
the week’s in sight vary considerably,
but the average falls below the fig
ures of last week and last year, thus
showing that the tendency among lo
cal statisticians is to consider that
the heaviest pressure of actual cotton
haß passed and that we have entered
a period of gradually decreasing re
ceipts.
DF.MEKR A H AMMOND’!!
Dally lotion Letter from New
York..
New York, Nov. s.—After a long,
though very patient waiting, complete
figures of ginners’ report were given
out yesterday. Those who were pre
dicting a total of 7,000,000 to Oct. 18.
overshot the mark decidedly, the
total proved only 6,417,894. The In
dustry which the 7,000.000 bales pre
diction had been circulated as well as
conclusions drawn that such a figure
would Indicate a crop of 12.000.000 bales
proved a boomerang, for by tho “Rule
of three” It was Immediately calculated
that if 7,000,000 ginned now meant 12,-
000,000 the ultimate outcome, 6,417,000
could mean a crop of no more thHn
11,000,000. For th - moment at least
such easy calculations had their ef
fect and the covering by shorts car
ried January once more above the 10-
cent mark. Liverpool, however, showed
reluctance to follow the advance es
tablished and a sharp setback resulted
to-day when disappointed bulls sold
out their longs. Their confidence In

an improvement being further weak
ened by the large amount brought in
to sight for the week. The accumula
tions in the interior w'hich caused the
weakness last month have all been
worked off and holders are independ
en and in a position to sell their cot
ton as they sea fit. They are ready
to part with it when they can get a

days, but it is notorious that on ev

WARE ft LEI.ASD
Expect Increase In Remand After
tbe Election.
New York, Nov. s.—The market was
of the usual Saturday variety and
dull. At times shorts covered and on
any rise there was cotton for sale.
The large movement appeared to In
fluence pit sentiment, as there is not
enough speculation to take caje of
cotton offered and at the same time
advance prices. In view of the decline
in Liverpool, the market showed con
siderable steadiness. The real trouble
with the market is that the larger op
erators, when they buy, buy more on
a rise, and as the market is not ripe
to go up yet, this cotton all oomes
out on the first set-back. That is, the
market to-day was 10 to 15 points
higher than the low point of last Sat
urday, but anybody bulling cotton
might have lost money just the same.
This will be the way until there is
good speculation. Now there is none.
Everything points to an increase in
the demand after the election. There
fore, it behooves tr.aders to
be patieht to expect nothing
more than a steady market
for the present, but with the great pos
sibilities later on in the year. Until
speculation increases there will be no
inducement to do anything but buy on
declines.
