The opening was quiet at 9% for good
middling, the lowest figure that has
been reached this season. By 1 o’clock
the futures markets had shown suffi
cient improvement for spots to be
quoted firm, though at unchanged
prices. In the later afternoon, how
ever, conditions were improved to
such an extent that at the close the
quotations were advanced 1-16 of a
cent. The close was steady at this
advance. With the improved tone to
the trade demand was more in evi

were very fair.

TWO CROPS ESTIMATES
AFFECTED NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 21.—The cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline of 1 to 2
points in response to liquidation fol
lowing a couple of local estimates of
the crop. One of these put the prob
able yield at 11,684,000 bales. The other
estimated it at 11,300,000 bales. Cables
were fairly steady and early advices
from the South Indicated a good de
mand for spot cotton, with holders will
ing to sell at present prices but un
willing to make any further concession.
Iyooal shorts showed a disposition to
cover at the initial break and prices
were soon rallied to about closing fig
ures of the previous night, after which
they ruled about steady and were
finally steady at a net advance of 3®5
points. Sales were estimated at 200,000
bales. It had been anticipated by some
that the first installment of the glnners
report giving the amount of cotton
ginned to Nov. 14 would be Issued to
day. There was no sign of it, however,
and no official announcement as to
when it may be expected.

ing on large buying orders from profit
taking shorts, prices were sent up well
above Saturday's closing. The bear
faction has lost much of their courage
of the past week and are apparently
relinquishing their hold on the local
market. The market received little qn
eouragement from the bulls. The trad
ing was moderately active throughout
the session. December opened down 3
points at 9.39 c, declined a point and
then sold up to 9.49 c, but finally lost 2
points to 9.47 c. The market closed
steady with net gains of 4 @9 points.

DEM ERE A HAMMOND'S
Dally Cotton Letter from New
Yorlt.
New York, Nov. 21. —Liverpool this
morning declined sufficiently to equal
our loss of Saturday, In fact, this has
been the policy of that market for
weeks. Never once has it taken the
lead by forcing lower prices, leaving
that pleasant task to the owners of
the stuff, which Is being dally cheap
ened for European benefits. After the
sight of a rally here, however, Liver
pool was prompt to recover and after
opening 4 lower, closed only 1 be
low Saturday. The bears had thought
It so easy to put prices down that
they kept on selling without regard
to the fact that the low level was be
ing puahed below the point where
farmer would sell his cotton. Some,
however, thought better to take profits,
especially as December came very near
to touching the 9% cent mark, and
the moment the buying started In,
there was a quick recovery of 10 points.
Although the market has since sway
ed back and forth, the closing la
about 9 to 10 points above the lowest
and about 4 points higher than Satur
day. The week past the visible sup
ply failed to come up to the expectation
of bears, the gain for the week show
ing a decrease of 62,000 bales compar
ed with last year. As spinners are
taking cotton very freely this week,
It Is probable that the next Friday s
exhibit will be equally disappointing
to the bears, and the far sighted ones
are disposed to shorten sail somewhat
even though they may not change their
Ideas about the yield. A good deal
of buying this evening appeared to
be for account of spot houses, which,
would Indicate that spinners are buy
ing freely at the prices, as when ex
porters sell ahead they naturally buy
futures as a hedge against their spot
engagements.
Liverpool is due to come 3 higher in
the morning.

morning and January sold at 9.61 c,
within 3 points of the low record of
some weeks ago. At this point a
change took place In the complexion of
the market. The large traders who
started the decline a week ago carhe
in and bought large blocks of cotton
so that the decline was not only halt
ed. but an Improvement of 10 points
resulted. There was less cotton for
sale on the break to-day and more
wanted. It would be Interesting to
know where all the cotton sold last
week went to. The enormous pressure
of three days found prices within a
few points of where the selling began.
This is considered significant, for the
cotton has undoubtedly gone Into very
strong hands. Two crop estimates
came out to-dav. one for 11.300.000
bales and one for 11,650,000 bales. The
former comes pretty close to the Ideas
of the conservative element for the
trade. There will be more estimates
out before long that will probably be
even less than 11,200,000 bales. The gov
ernment figures will set the pace for
the rest of the season and traders now
are merely scalping the market. The
demand for cotton at 9%c for Janu
ary is good. At 9%c for December
large blocks seem to be wanted. The
short Interest is large, and we would
buy on breaks.
J. S. lilt HE A CO.’S
Dally Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vlek A Cos.
New York. Nov. 21.-Two private es
timates of the crop were issued this
morning. One is based on replies from
Southern correspondents to a conser
vative Wall street house, who has al
most Invariably over-estimated the
yield and shows a crop of 11,300,000
bales. The other is based on a five
weeks’ tour of the belt by a member
of a local commission house that dur
ing the past two seasons has had a
fair measure of success in estimating
the yield through following the re
ports of Southern correspondents whose
reports previously this season have
indicated a crop fully 500,000 bales be
low the firm’s present estimate. It
seems to us that sentiment Is fixing
on a crop of over 11,250.000 bales and
we believe firmly that expectations of
this kind will be disappointed. We
Have not completed our own investi
gations into the crop, the results of
which we can hardly publish until the
middle of next week, when our replies
are all In.
Liverpool this morning made a fair
ly steady showing. The weather was
good, receipts swollen by a heavy
clearance about equal to last year's
• ln d Southern advices reported a steady
spot situation wifh a good demand.
The local market opened easy 2 to 6
points lower under liquidation, but
met with a good demand from local
shorts, and rallied to a slight net gain.
We believe in buying cotton on reac
tions. The mills will not stop buying
until they have secured their season’s
supply whatever attitude they may
adopt with reference to a reserve.

The spirits of turpentine market
changed its steady tone to that of
quiet yesterday at the close, though
the price that has been maintained
for more than two weeks remains the
same, and there seems to be no dispo
sition on the part of any branch of the

opened steady, at 50c, with sales of 252
casks, and closed quiet, at 50c, with
further saies of 162 casks. In the aft
ernoon something over 100 casks were
sold at the market’s closing quotation,
but the day's receipts were by no
means cleaned up. The receipts were
651 casks, and the shipments, 743. The
New York market continues quiet at
54c. London was quoted at 38—3.
Whatever of weakness may be dis
played by the spirits market none
Is shown in the rosin branch of the
trade. This market opened firm yes

from Saturday’s close, and closed firm
and unchanged. The sales at the open

reported at the close. In the post

taken care of by buyers at a general
advance of 5c up on K and above and
of 10c. on I. the remainder of the list
going at quotations. The receipts were
2,000 barrels, and the shipments 14,344
barrels.
The shipments are the largest report
ed on any one day for several months,
and made so large a hole in the stock
that it is now 15,732 barrels smaller

last season. The shipments were chief
ly to foreign ports at follows: To Rot

Proprietors P. P. P.:
It becomes my duty to add my tes
timonial to the wonderful curative
properties of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash,
Poke Root and Potassium). Some
years ago I bruised my ankle on my
saddle stirrup; from a little scratch
the place began to enlarge until It
was as large as the palm of my hand,
discharging pus, exposing part of the
bone. I called to see physicians, and
they pronounced it a fever sore, and
incurable. It became so painful, and
swollen so badly that I tried bandage
for relief until I secured a rubber sup
porter; after securing the rubber sup
porter for temporary relief, I began to
use internal remedies, trying several
different kinds without any apparent
relief. I resolved to try P. P. P.,
which I did. After using one bottle
the result was such that I continued
until the sixth bottle was used, when
my rubber supporter was no longer re
quired. as the sore was completely
healed and swelling entirely gone. I
therefore take pleasure in saying to
the public generally that it Is my be
lief. from actual experience, that the
use of P. P. P., if properly persisted in,
will cure any case of impure blood or
blood poisoning. Respectfully,
PROF. B. F. HICKEY,
Postmaster, Wichita Falls. Texas.
I, the undersigned, knew Prof.
Hickey at the time he commenced to
take P. P. P. for his sore leg, and I
did not think a cure'possible. I notic
ed its progress from the start and
must say the remarkable cure P. P. P.
brought about was something marvel
ous. R. TAYMAN,
Druggist, Wichita Falls, Tex.
P. P. P. is a sure cure for rheuma
tism, Syphilis, Scrofula, Blood Poison
ing. Blotches, Pimples and all skin
and blood diseases.
Cancerous sore on the face, years of
skin trouble, Glandular swelling, suf
ferer renders thanks to P. P. P. for its
great cures.
