to a decline of 2 points. Some de
mand from smaller shorts was evident
ly attracted by the forecast calling
for rain more or less generally over the
belt and immediately following the caii
prices sold up 2 or 3 points. But at
the advance there was a renewal of
Wall street bear pressure and a de
cline of about 4 to r. points from the
best followed by another slight bulge
toward midday as offerings were with
drawn during which January sold at
9.90 c, and March at 10 cents, or a
net advance of about 2 points.
The close was steady as a result of
room covering with prices net
1 point lower to 1 point high
er. Sales weic estimated at about
80,000 bales. The difference between
the low and high prices for the day
was a matter of only about 5 points.
Port receipts for the day contrasted
bullishly with last year’s figures and
exports were again large bringing the
total for the season up to about 2,-
249,465 bales against 1,851,725 bales last
year.
Estimated receipts of cotton at ports

WARE A LELAXD
Wnn Another Disappoint
ing Market.
New York, Nov. 10.—Another dis
appointing market. It did not decline
much, it is true, but the dullness whs
such that prices could not move either
way. There was the same pressure in
certain quarters and an absence of
buying. The operator that bought a
block yesterday sold out Just before
the close last night. The operations
was not repeated to-day. It is a very
ragged and unsatisfactory market to
have anything to do with. When it is
down and looks like going lower every
one gets short. Then in no time prices
advance 20 or 25 points. Shorts are
afraid to sell at the advance, and the
bulls turn in and buy, thinking the
rise has at last begun. The result of
all this is a very weak market when
its down and strong market when its
up, and never making any progress or
profits for anybody. We know some
make considerable ammunition out of
the increase In the interior stocks. The
actual facts in the case are that in
terior stocks have increased just 5,-
000 bales more than two years ago,
though the movement to date is Just
600,000 bales over the movement of
1902. We fail to see where the inte
rior stocks have increased much. In
fact it Is surprising they have not in
creased more than they have. There
is a very short future market here,
and the course of prices will depend on
the rightness or the wrongness of the
position of those who are now so heavi
ly committed to the side of lower
prices. It is not certain yet that cot
ton is too high. In fact we may have
some very Interesting times before
long.
J. S. BACHE A CO.’S
Dally Cotton Cotter to Hayward,
Vick A Cos.
New York, Nov. 10.—The public Is
willing to be a bull on cotton. It is
absolutely unwilling to bear the mar
ket. We have passed through the sea
son of greatest actual pressure with
prices ranging from 9tte to ln
the main, owing to the rock-ribbed sta
bility of the spot markets, and some
of the largest Individual operators in
the market have Men consistently try
ing to create a general wave of bear
ishness; the effort has been signally un
successful. The fact of the matter Is
that no one Is sure It is a big crop
and every one Is quite sure that a
moderate crop will be used at theso
prices, or higher. If the government
report on Dec. 3 should Indicate a yield
below the average popular estimate It
seems to us that the market will at
onee ahow the underlying friendliness
of speculation to cotton and we also
believe that before that report Is Is
sued parties most noted for their bear
ishness will be In a position to profit
by an advance. Meanwhile we seem

S W ANN AH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1904.
I likely to have a continued irregular
and highly unsatisfactory market, with
fluctuations entirely out of line with
what might be ordinarily expected. Ca
bles pointed to a higher market yes
terday, and this morning to a lower
market. In neither case did the local
market fully respond. The outlook for
rain In the belt promoted some cover
ing at the opening, and after starting
steady, unchanged to 2 points lower,
the list sold a point or two over last
i night. Yielding shortly afterward to
pressure of professional selling, it de
clined only about 4 points from the
best and in the early afternoon was
again rallied. Receipts are running
under last year's and it looks to us
as though we had witnessed the larg
est week’s movement for the present
season.
DEM Ell E A HAMMOND’S
Dally Cation Letter (roiu New
York
New York, Nov. 10.—Except for a
brief spasm of buying based on rold
now coming in from the Southwest,
bringing freezing weather to Texas.
Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Ar
kansas, the market to-day has been
devoid of interest. Liverpool was soft
er than expected, but not very soft,
and our market prices during the early
morning sold off by a point. The bad
weather caused a recovery of this loss,
but towards the end of the day prices
drifted backward again and finally
closed 5 points under last night. Rains
and cold weather are predicted for the
East Gulf and South Atlantic states.
News from spots is conflicting. Green
ville, Tex., says:” 9**c bid basis mid
dling. Holders refuse to sell.” Dal
las reports big spot business yesterday
with the Eastern and foreign spinners.
Bremen and Liverpool have advanced
their limits to-day. Other points, how
ever, in the central and Gulf section
report sales about 1-16& decline. Re
ceipts continue to run under last year.
Total all ports, 58,509. against 71.242
bales. Interior. 38,055, against 46,008. It
is estimated that interior stocks will
gain only 45,000, against a gain last
year of 49,000. The market is being
flooded with reports of enormous quan
tities of cotton held back in the in
terior, and unusual interest is there
fore centered on approaching ginners'
report. Return will be made up on
Nov. 14, and the first bulletin will prob
ably appear a week later.
