Prices in the local spot cotton mar ket were unchanged at the close yes terday despite the fact that the mar ket opened at a decline and was still quoted at the lower level at I o’clock. 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 dence so that the sales for the day were very fair. The tone, prices and sales for the day follow: Open- | 1 | Clos- lng. lng.

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. SPOT COTTON AT HEW YORK.

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.

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. WARE *~LKLANn Thin la Colton Sold Lost Week Is In •Hang Manila. New York, Nov.

NOVEMBER 22. 1904. 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. GENERAL MARKETS.

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. BRADFORD’S EVAPORATED OKRA. Makes the finest soups and gum bos.
