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.

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.

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 Theodore H.

DEMF.KE & HAM MOD'S • 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.
