The local spot cotton market failed
to hold Us sain yesterday, and closed
at a decline of 1-16 of a cent lower
than on the previous day. The mar
ket opened easy and lower to sell at
unchanged prices, but at 1 o’clock the
prices had declined and the tone was
quoted as quiet. No further change
took place at the close. Buyers claim
that at present spot prices supplies are
too high bv at ieast 1-16 of a cent to
be on a parity with futures, and as a
consequence, all except those whose
necessities are imperative are holding
off.

ONLY LOCAL TRADING
AT NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 16.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of 1
point to a decline of 2 points, in re
sponse to a pretty steady set of Liver
pool cables. The absence of fresh busi
ness gave the bears an opportunity to
force the market off, and after the first
few minutes, during which the prices
of practically all options sold about
even with the close of the previous
night, the market turned easier. Trad
ing was almost entirely local.
After declining to a net loss of about
6@B points the market steadied slightly
on room covering promoted by the
large profits. The close was steady at
a net decline of 3@B points, with sales
of 75,000 bales, according to estimates.
The movement is running a little
heavier than expected early In the
week and lnto-sight estimates for the
week now range around 550,000 bales,
against estimates of 500,000 bales earli
er. The large exports naturally ex
plain the heavier receipts to some ex
tent.

WARE & LKLAND'S
Cotton Letter from Gilbert A Clay
of New Orleans.
New Orleans, La., Nov. 16.—Liver
pool cables, which were slightly de
layed, cited a prosperous condition
among spinners and in the cloth mar
ket. The mills are now running on
full time with large orders in hand,
and rather favorable opinion of the
market was expressed. Options, how
ever, failed to reflect the excellence
of the business being done, closing at
a decline of 6 English points. Spot
prices remained unchanged. Some
good sized blocks of cotton were traded
in at the lower levels established at
our opening. The bidding for addi
tional large lots served to check fur
ther material declines. Trading quiet
ed and subsequently was desultory.
Very few opinions voice a prop under
11,000,000 bales, and manv conserva
tive traders believe the figures will be
around 11.200.000. Indications of a
greater or less quantity In the coming
glnm-hs' report and Dec. 3 government
estimate will influence prices for bet
ter or worse as the case may be. A
consumption of 11.000,000 bales may
reasonably be expected at present
prices with a slight increase at lower
figures, and on n material decline spin
ners would provide themselves in ex
cess of actual roaulrements, especially
in the event of af! unpromising plant
ing season: Hence, unless the ex
irecled estimate confirms the Idea of
those most benrlshly lnrllned, Imme
diate declines should not be excessive.
DRY UODD9.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1904.
' POOR QUALITY OF RICE
IN LOUISIANA AND TEXAS.
Fully BO Per Cent, of Crop Harvest
ed and Thrashed.
Persons identified with growing or
handling of rice in Savannah and vi
cinity will be interested in the fol
lowing report of the Louisiana and
Texas crop of that cereal:
“Fully 90 per cent, of the rice crop
of Louisiana and Texas, according to
the Rice Journal and. Gulf Coast Farm
er. has been harvested, thrashed and is
under cover. In many sections thrash
ing was finished two weeks ago and
farmers have since been busy hauling
to the mills and the warehouses. It Is
also stated that it is hardly likely that
the 1904 crop of the Gulf coast will
reach 70 per cent, of that of 1903. al
though the reduced acreage in Louis
iana and the small Increase in Texas
is taken into consideration.
“Although 90 per cent, of the rice Is
under cover, that does not mean that
90 per cent, of the crop Is in the mills
and public warehouses. The farmers
are holding at home as much of this
crop as Dossible and they are holding
It for two reasons: For a rise in price
and for stock feed. Two reasons pre
vent the farmer from holding on the
farm a very large percentage of the
cron. The first reason is that most of
the crop is pledged for advances, and
the second reason is that the farmers
lack storage on their farms for grain.
Despite these drawbacks, however,
more rice wiil be held at home this
season than ever before. All over the
rice belt farmers have fallen in with
the idea of feeding the low grades to
the stock, and a conservative estimate
of the amount of rice, withdrawn from
the visible supply by this means is
500,000 sacks.
Perhaps the greatest surprise in con
nection with this crop Is its quality. As
a rule the quality of a crop is influ
enced bv harvest conditions. It was
generally agreed that the fine condi
tion of last season’s crop was attrib
utable to perfect weather during har
vest. This year, with the exception of
a few days of bad weather at the very
beginning the weather conditions have
apparently been ideal. In spite of this
fact the quality of this year’s crop
is on the whole undeniably poor. There
is some good rice, but the average is
light, poorly developed, immature,
lacking in flintiness, speckled or red.
Rice thrashed out 30 per cent, below
last year and mills out 10 per cent:
lower still. The of this
year has taught the rice farmer that
it does not pay to raise poor rice. The
result will be better grades and a re
duced acreage in 1905."
