The Savannah spot cotton market re
mained unchanged In prices yesterday,
opening quiet at 9 11-16 cents for good
middling and closing easy, but un
changed, otherwise. The sales were
much smaller than those of the day
before, amounting to 323 bales. There
is generally a scarcity of buying or
ders Just now, the cause commonly as
signed being that the spot market is
too high for the futures, and it is
claimed that very little cotton is to
be had even at the market quotations,
holders still having faith in better
prices than those now being offered.

scarce at this figure.
The futures markets showed another
decline in prices at their close, due
chiefly to an easier spot situation in

NEW YORK PRICES
GAVE GROUND SLOWLY.
New York, Nov. 19. —The cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline of 204
points, or about as due on easier ca
bles. The weather South was favora
ble, and there were further reports
of free offering of spots in the South.
Sentiment in local professional circles
seemed against the market, and some
of the large room traders were evi
dently trying to force further declines.
But there was also considerable cov
ering by smaller shorts at the lower
level, and for over Sunday, and the
market following the call ruled fairly
steady with prices giving ground very
slowly. Business was quiet.

DEMERE A HAMMOND’S
Weekly Cotton Letter From New
York.
New York. Nov. 19.—For several
days during the past week the market
hardly deserved a name. Sunday’s
storm paralyzed the telegraphic serv
ice and cut New York off more com
pletely from the balance of the coun
try than at any time since the great
blizzard of 1888. It was not until
Thursday that anything like a sem
blance of communication with the out
side world waa established. The ab
sence of outside orders gave the local
bear clique an opportunity which was
used to the fullest extent. Prices
which on Tuesday advanced to 10.04 c
for January, and 10.16 for March, were
skillfully attacked and persistently
hammered, until by the time commu
nication ivas restored, a low level had
been established which necessitated
liberal margin calls. It was thought,
owing to the very large proportion of
high grade cotton picked during this
exceptionally dry open fall, the prem
ium on high grades should have been
reduced. Expecting such a change,
spot operators had for some time
avoided using New York for hedging
purposes, awaiting the action of com
mittee. When it was learned that
no change was made In the old dif
ferences, the spot interest Immediately
transfered hedges from other markets
to this, making them very liberal sell
ers throughout Wednesday and Thurs
day. At first these offerings were
quickly absorbed, but the supply was
greater than the capacity of the mar
ket to digest, and prices were forced
to give way. The extreme range dur
ing the week has been 40 points, the
lowest level being touched to-day. Dur
ing the afternoon there has been some
profit-taking by shorts, and a little
rally, leaving final prices about 22
point* lower than last Friday. The
weekly movement which last week
dropped to 520,000 bales, has expanded
materially, and this week reached
about 550,000 boles, considerably more
than expected. A feature, however,
which added to the weakness, was the
unusual gain In interior stocks, show
ing an accumulation beyond the ordi
nary. The gain In stocks for the week
amounted to 73,000 bales, against 37,-
000 last year, or nearly double. It Is
easy enough to explain the free port
movement In view of the large en
gagements whleh have existed for No
vember shipments, but the piling up of

J. S. BACHE A- CO.’S
Dally Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vick A Cos.
New York, Nov. 19.—Trading has
been quiet. Local professional senti
ment is becoming more confident of
an ultimately lower level of prices.
This ground Is taken on the theory
that the crop is bigger than has gen
erally been credited and that it will
be found that more cotton has been
held In spite of the big movement
than the bulls have been willing to
admit. One wire from the Southwest
from a man who killed the crop In
his section by boll weevil and bad
weather about three times a day on
the average all through the growing
seaso* now says that wagonload re
ceipts are increasing rapidly and that
several towns in his section are block
ed with cotton. The leading bear In
terests did not appear to be trying to
raid the market, but they sold enough
to gradually fill up demand from
smaller week-end shorts and scatter
ing longs and prices gradually reced
ed. About the only bullish wire came
from New Orleans and stated that
spot demand was so big that the bot
tom could not be far off. Ellison’s
figures makes the average weight of
Jliurotvean deliveries note that ex
ports of cotton goods from the United
Kingdom for the month of October
exceeded last year's by about 84,000,000
yards. European stocks in the hands
of spinners acording to the Chroncile
decreased 72,000 bales for the month
and is now 69,000 bales behind last
year. The weekly consumption of
European mills is 166,000 bales vs.
149.000 last year.
WARE A LELAND
Say Everything Depends on Govern
ment Iteport Dee. 3.
New York, Nov. 19. —It seems as If
Liverpool was very steady Just when
we are weak and the Liverpool de
clines when the local market rallies.
Very hard to find the right guilding
star under such conditions as these.
The rise Just before the close last
night did not disturb Liverpool In the
least. This may have been the re
sult of concerted effort here. We are
inclined to think American selling had
something to do with it. But traders
were disappointed and January work
ed back to 9.65 c. There was very lit
tle trade In the local market and
prices ruled within a few points of
the opening. The price this morning
has been touched about every month
since June. If you will go
back over the record of prices
since about June 11, you will
find that January cotton has sold
around 9%c every month save during
the sharp rise in early September.
This show’s how much speculation
there is in cotton and how much ac
tual business has been done within
limits of half a cent. Everything now
depends upon the government report
on Dec. 3. In case the report Is over
11,000,000 we will not have much of a
rise. But It Is an open question
whether the government will put the
crop over 10,900,000 bales. The Wash
ington people have never given a crop
estimate of over 10,400,000 even in big
crop years. They may not give over
11,000,000 this year. It will point the
way for the rest of the season.

The change In the tone of the spirits

which remains at 50 cents, at which
figure fair sales -were made yesterday
both during market hours and in the

Impossible to dispose of the receipts

the association would buy all offer

there has been no reason yet to call

It is possible that there may be no
