Despite an improvement in the fu
tures market yesterday the local spot
market opened at a decline of %c,
though steady in tone, and closed at
midday, without further change in
either tone or price. The sales were
fairly large, as is usually the case
whenever the market turns
after a break. By a recent decision
the local Cotton Exchange yesterday
reverted to a former custom of mak
ing the last Saturday call at 1 o’clock,
thus reducing the number of calls to
two, instead of three, as has been the
case since the opening of the present
season.

The f. o. b. market was quoted
steady at 9%c, basis good middling,

buyers was in evidence at that figure.
The interior holders, however, dis
played a decided tendency to hold for
a better figure, some of them demand

NEW YORK TRADERS"
MADE CROP ESTIMATES.
New York. Nov. 26.—The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 6
@ll points on better cables than ex
pected and continued covering. After
the first few minutes prices here
sagged off under offerings by room
bears who, having covered yesterday,
were disposed to put out fresh lines
on the initial bulge. Private advices
from the Soiith reported an active de
mand for spot cotton at the decline of
yesterday, but also claimed that spots
were being freely offered so that the
disposition was to go slowly pending
some more settled look in the South
ern situation. The average estimate
by 162 members of the New York Cot
ton Exchange points to a crop of 11,-
502,000 bales. The highest estimate
was 12,400,000 bales; the lowest, 10,-
800,000.

COTTON.
New York, Nov. 26.—1n pursuance
of that candid policy which It Is my
aim to follow In dealing with the cot
ton trade, I feel that I should state
that I yesterday covered the cotton of
which I was short, advising all inquir
ing friends of my action.
I now anticipate a substantial rally,
and perhaps a considerable, although
maybe a temporary advance in the
market for the following reasons:
First. The general acceptance of the
12,000,000 crop Idea which the ginners’
report has fostered has Induced over
selling. Second. I regard it as Im
probable in the light of past history,
that the agricultural departments es
timate of the crop it be Issued on
Dec. 2. will be as large
as many anticipate. The record shows
that in the case of unprecedented
crops the department has always erred
upon the side of conservation in mak
ing its figures, the crop of 1880-1, wa*
6,606,000 bales being the first crop of
over 6.000,000. The department esti
mated It at 5,719.000 bales. The crop
of 1897-8 was 11,218,000. The depart
ment estimated It at 9.600.000. The
crop of 1898-9 was 11,256.000. The de
partment estimated It at 10,000,000.
Thus It will ba seen that In the case
ol each record breaking crop, the un
der estimate ranged from 10 per cent,
to 15 per cent. It Is undeniable, how
ever. that this year’s figures from the
department, whatever they may be,
will govern the policy of both consum
ers and producers until they shall be
lndesputably disproved. If, therefore,
the forthcoming figures of the agri
cultural department shall not be over
11,000,000, which as 1 have shown, Is
quite within the limits, of possibility,
even though the crop may be 12,000 000
or over. 1 doubt If any further decline
will develop for some little time a
sharp advance is quite possible.
It would, therefore, seem to be a
wise policy on the part of spinners to
supply their prospective required for
the next two or three months at about
present prices, it is well to bear In
mind that In the past four years the
total resources of the national banks
In the cotton stutes have Increased
from 6273,000,000 to $484,000,000 or
about $210,000,000, and If the forthcom
ing estimate of the agricultural de
partment should reinforce the confi
dence of Southern holders In an ulti
mate realization of 10 cents per pound
for their cotton, a falling off In the
movement, sod a substantial revival
In speculations might gnsue, (Hlgnedt

Daily Cotton Letter from few
York,
New York, Nov. 26.—After forcing
prices down nearly $4 per bale, almost
unaided, save by the conveniently
bearish bulletins of ginners' report, Mr.
Price now announces that he has cov
ered all, his shorts and advises every
body to buy cotton for a rise, because
all bearish influences have now been
discounted, and the Agriculture Bureau
estimate is likely to fall decidedly be
low the present popular estimate of the
crop. The change in Liverpool from
an early decline of 5 points to a final
closing of 4 points higher than the pre
vious closing, is attributed to Price’s
followers. There are many who will
follow his lead, and if for no other rea
son, prices should go higher. There
was, however, other and good reasons
why the present price level is too low.
Speculation has kept aloof from the
market throughout the fall, convinced
that no clear insight into the final out
come could be gathered from the move
ment for the reason that picking and
gathering season were so phenomenal
ly favorable. Large transactions have
been held In abeyance, awaiting the
bureau report, and from that time on
we expect a lively public interest in
the market. One of our Liverpool
friends who has just returned from
a business tour on the continent, tells
us that spinners there are almost uni
versally bearish, and as a result have
not provided themselves with supplies
far ahead. On the other hand, they
are under engagement for goods for
months ahead and thus actually short
of the market. As soon as any activity
develops in the speculative market we
may expect to find these spinners ac
tive buyers, as their business is profit
able, and they can well afford to pay
higher prices than those now ruling.
J. S. B ACHE A CO.’S
Bally Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vick A Cos.
New York. Nov. 26.—Liverpool show
ed surprising firmness this morning.
Due to come about 2 points lower, it
was 4 to 5 points higher at the hour
of the local opening. But the know
ins ones here jumped to the conclu
sion that leading bears had brought
about the bulge to sell on, and con
sequently when the local market open
ed firm at an advance of 6 to 11 points
the professional element that had cov
ered short lines yesterday began put
ting them out again. This caused
some depression during the early trad
ing, but It was evident that the mar
ket was receiving pretty good sup
port and prices before the end of the
first hour had worked back to a lit
tle over the opening figures. The re
covery followed reports that the most
prominent of the local bear interests
had issued a statement claiming to
have covered his shorts and express
ing the opinion that a substantial ad
vance was probable owing to the fact
that all bearish factors had been dis
counted. For a time it is probable
the market will rule irregular rather
than show any decided tendency. While
the census figures have by no means
destroyed confidence in moderate crop
estimates, the free offerings by South
ern spot holders are discouraging to
some extent. For our part we believe
that the excellent demand these of
ferings are meeting with will prevent
any reckless marketing and that if
the speculative situation shows re
turning confidence the Southern mar
kets will quickly rally.
WARE A I,FLAM).
Sa- Government May Surprise the
Trade.
New York, Nov. 26.—The market Is
getting steadier and It looked thts
morning as though the worst was over
for the time being. The blow has been
a severe one, holders being shaken out
at a loss and shorts making 'big
money. Bears have bad the first suc
cessful campaign of the last three or
four years. Those who believe cotton
is worth more than It Is selling for
may be wrong for the time being, and
again the believers In lower prices may
prove far out of line. Too mutch stress
is being placed on the census reports.
No one knows but what 90 per cent, of
the crop was ginned on Nov. 14. Go
back to the government report of Oct.
3 and find how much of the crop had
been gathered at that date. About
three-fourths of the crop gathered.
Then, how much must have been gin- <
ned by Nov. 14? Why the last re
port of October stated that nearly all
bad been picked save parts of Missis
sippi and Louisiana. Then, If the per
centage ginned on Nov. 14. two weeks
later, is not pretty well up to the to
tal, It is peculiar. Walt for the gov
ernment report on Dec. 3. It may sur
prise the trade.
