Further declines took place In the
futures markets yesterday, losses of
from 11@13 points being recorded at
New York at the close, and of 10@13
at New Orleans, but in spite of these
declines the spot market generally held
up pretty well. The local market
opened nominal, and at unchanged
prices from the close of the day be
fore. and prices continued on this level
to the close, though the tone changed
to quiet at the midday call and to
easy at the close. The sales amounted
to 598 bales.
The belief seems to be growing that
if holders of the staple will act con
servatively in marketing their hold
ings prices can be maintained around
the present level. That the country is
disposed to hold at anything under
the present basis is the inference to be
drawn from the action of the f. o. b.
market yesterday. This opened and
closed steady at 7%c asked, basis good
middling. Buyers bid rather freely for
supplies at from 7%@7 13-16 c, but the
interior paid so little attention to these
offers that in many cases there was
not even a reply to the bids.

RENEWED BEAR PRESSURE
KEPT FUTURES LOWER.
New York, Dec. 6.—The cotton mar
ket was less active than during the
recent acute excitement, but contin
ued very nervous and unsettled at
times during the session covering
was active and the marked showed
firmness, but there was a renewal of
pressure on every bulge and the net
result for the day was a net loss.
The opening was weak at a decline
of 5@19 points, which was only a par
tial response to the sensational weak
ness in the Liverpool market. Accord
ing to private advices the decline
abroad was due to liquidation by Alex
andria interests, who were said to be
heavily long of the market before the
recent break, while it also seemed that
Europe was selling. At any rate Eng
lish quotations were 8 to 10 points net
lower at the hour of the local opening
when an advance of 3@4 points was
due. There was an active demand
here on the decline. Shorts appeared
to be covering freely and the scalp
ing element took the bearish circula
tion issued by the lower Wall street
Interests that had sold largely before
the break, to mean a desire to cover
shorts and went long of the market
for a turn. New Orleans also showed
steadiness compared with the cables,
and with Southern advices more reas
suring as to the interior spot situation,
prices here shot up some 8 to 18 points
from the bottom. Turning irregular
at this level, they worked up and
down In a comparatively narrow range
and at one time were about 3 to 5
points net higher, with New Orleans
buying quite liberally. In the after
noon, however, fresh reports of declin
ing spot markets started a wave of
local bear pressure and quotations
went down to below the opening fig
ures on the later months. Toward
the close there was a slight reaction
on covering and the market was finally
very steady at a net loss of 11@13
points.
Sales of futures were estimated at
500.000 bales.
Official advices from the Southern spot
markets reported quite general de
clines ranging from *4 to 7-16 c.
Receipts for the day were liberal
and the movement is expected to run
very heavy toward the middle of the
month as the result of rapid market
ing of cotton on the recent break.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
Liverpool, Dec. 6.—Spot cotton In
COTTON.
New York, Dec. 6.—1 Increase my
estimates of this year’s American cot
ton crop to 13,000,000 bales, including
linters. I believe this quantity to have
been certainly grown, although possi
bly it may not be marketed. I be
lieve that the forthcoming glnners' re
port, which will show the quantity of
cotton ginned up to Dec 13, will fully
sustain this view. There was ginned
in the twenty-two working days, be
tween Oct. 18 and Nov. 14, 1904, ap
proximately 3,300,000. This is at the
rate of 150,000 bales a day. During the
same period last year there was ginned
3,100,000 from Nov. 14 to Dec. 13. There
are twenty-four working days all owing
for Thanksgiving. If during these twen
ty-five working days there shall be gin
ned only half as much per diem as dur
ing the previous period, the amount
ginned would be 1,800,000. which, add
ed to the amount previously ginned,
namely, 9,786.000, would give us ap
proximately 11,600,000 bales ginned up
to Dec. 13. This, I think, will prove
to be conservative and probably an
underestimate of the actual figures, and
If thin Is 90 per cent, of the crop, the
Indicated yield Is 12,873.333 bales, with
out allowing anything for linters. Last
year only 66.8 per cent, had been gin
ned by Dec. 13, and the year previous
84 per eeqt. The Chronicle of last
Saturday says that picking Is still in
progress in many sections, and I <un
supplied with photographs of a num
ber of sun-picked fields In the South,
which I shall shortly publish and which
give Indisputable evidence of the fact
thut a large amount of cotton is still
unpicked. (Signed.) Theodore H

DKMKRE A HAMMOND'S
Daily Cotton Letter from Nexv
York.
New York, Dec. 6.—Contrary to ex
pectations, foreign spinners evinced no
desire to buy cotton, even after the
sharp decline of yesterday, and a fur
ther loss of 8 to 10 points was scored
In Liverpool this morning. American
spinners, on the other hand, seemed
quite ready to buy without awaiting
further decline, and there was an ac
tive demand in all spot markets with
an early advance of one-eighth in New
Orleans. Interior offerings were very
scant and as a result, buyers had to
find what they want at the ports. It
soon developed, however, that there
was plenty of cotton for sale at the
out-port, and the early advance was
promptly lowered. It was thought
that yesterday’s cut of a full cent per
pound would have brought the trading
price for actual cotton to so low a
point as to attract purchasers by con
suming interests. It seems, however,
after this morning's experience, that
the main buyers were middlemen,
those who had been called on during
the past few days by spinners for cot
ton previously contracted for. This
demand was unquestionably good while
it lasted, but as we have seen, it
dropped off sharply on the first break
in futures. While there is apparently
no great pressure by interior banks
to force the sale of distressed cotton,
It is equally true that the same banks
will be very glad to sell out the ‘‘lame
ducks” on any advance from He to Ho
lt would seem to follow, therefore, that
it will be very difficult to maintain any
substantial rise in face of such con
ditions, which are likely to continue
until the liquidation of distressed cot
ton shall have been completed. This
may be a matter of a few days, or a
few weeks, and it is extremely likely
that the lowest prices of the season
will be seen during that period. Cot
ton is low enough when viewed in con
junction with the value of cotton
goods, and particularly when compared
with the high ranges now existing for
nearly all staple products.
J. S. DACHE A CO.’S
Dally Colton Letter to Hayward
Vlek A. Company.
New York. Dec. 6.—Liverpool show
ed further weakness. According to
current gossip Alexandria has held a
big line of long contracts in the Eng
lish market that is now being liquidat
ed. At the hour of the local opening
the cables reported a decline of from
8 to 10 points when due to show an
advance of 3 to 4 points. The local
market only partially responded to the
decline opening weak at a loss of 5
to 19 points. Trading was active and
there seemed to be a good demand
at the decline. Advices from the
South seemed to favor the opinion that
the spot situation was improving and
that litt'e forced liquidation remained
to be experienced. It was consequent
ly argued that the big short interest
in the speculative markets covering
would lead to substantial reaction, and
after the opening prices shot up about
8 to 18 points with shorts and reac
tionists buying. Bear pressure was
renewed on the advance and fluctua
tions became Irregular while the vol
ume of trading materially diminished.
New Orleans bought considerable cot
ton here in the early afternoon, and on
the whole the market showed a stead
ier tone. The Southern spot situation
is still too uncertain to permit of any
definite opinion as to the real attitude
of holders or as to the effect of the
break on buyers.
WARE A LELAND.
See No Signs That Price Hns Reached
Bottom.
New York. Dec. 6.—While the local
market acted as though it was ready
to rally with an encouragement Liver
pool failed to show signs of improv
ing, and the general situation continued
about the same. It will take some
time for the trade to recover from the
demoralization resulting from the esti
mate. We may have another break
on Southern selling and a general
cleaning up before the (trade goes
ahead on the new basis. For Instance,
Manchester cabled things were at a
standstill there owing to the surpris
ingly large figures and the recent crash
In prices. With the South selling free
ly and the uncertainty of the extent
of this selling, operators can hardly
form a decent opinion of the outlook.
It will take some time for all to get
bearings on the position. Those who
have been bears and successful will
continue so to the end, or until the
market turns. At some price there
will be a change In the temper of the
trade. It may come ut 7c or at 6%c,
‘or in other words, not until the price
of cotton in the South has touched a
point where the acreage will be re
duced and where spinners and In
vestors will begin to accumulate cot
ton. While the tone of the market
to-day has been less demoralized there
were no signs that the price has reach
ed bottom. The break may not be
over, even with present low prices.
New York Y’lew of Ontlook.
A private telegram received from
New York by a member of the local
cotton trade yesterday, says: "Bureau
estimate means that producers and
consumers will operate on basis of 12,-
500,000-bale crop until glnners' January
report. Believe this means 7 cents or
lower here."

The jump in the price of spirits of
turpentine which took place Monday,
proved too great, apparently, for the
welfare of the market for, though the
opening was firm yesterday, and at
the outside price of the closing, 50
cents, the sales were very light, and
in the afternoon, at the close the tone
had gone from firm to steady, while
in the post market trade there was
very little demand at any price, and
but a few casks sold at 49% cents. The
sales posted at the opening were 106
casks, and at the close, 45. The re
ceipts were 680 casks, and the ship
ments, 584. New York was quoted
firm at 53 cents, while London also
showed an improvement the quotation
at that market being 38—3.
The rosin market opened firm and
unchanged from the prices of the day
before except that F had dropped to
the inside price, and the close was
firm and unchanged. The sales at the
opening were 1.854. No sales were re
ported at the close. In the late trad
ing sales were made at an advance of
5 cents on N, M, K and I and 2% cents
on C, B. A, the remainder going at
quotations, while other sales were re
ported, at a decline of 2% cents on G

New York market was quoted dull at

CHARLESTON OBJECTS
To the Issuance of the Reports in
Piecemeal Form'.
Charleston, S. C.. Dec. 6.—The
Charleston Cotton Exchange to-day
adopted the following resolutions and
sent a copy to the chief statistician for
manufactures, Census Bureau:
“Resolved, that it is the sense of
this exchange that the method adopted
this year by the Census Bureau in is
suing the report of cotton ginned in in
stallments, instead of in sum total,
as done by said bureau in previous
years, has been a serious detriment to
the cotton trade this season, unsettling
the market values of spot cotton, and
creating erroneous impressions as to
the final outcome of the cotton ginned.
And it is further resolved, that the
chief statistician of the Census Bu
reau be respectfully asked and re
quested to issue all future reports of
the cotton ginned in a monthly form
in its entirety, as was his manner of
doing same in the previous season.
(Signed.) ‘‘Thaddeus Street,
“Secretary Board of Directors.”
