The cotton trade showed an improve

even though Liverpool futures closed
at a small decline, the spot branch of
that market was 2 to 4 points higher,
the New York and New Orleans fu
tures markets closed at net gains on
the entire list, and spots also advanced
at New Orleans.
The local market also showed an
improvement. It opened quiet and at
unchanged prices from the close of the
day before. ’and held this level of prices
to the close. At the midday call the
tone was quiet and easy, but with the
advancing futures the tone improved so
that at the close it was steady. The
sales for the day were very light, not
because there is no demand, for such
is not the case, but because factors
are hanging on to their holdings for
better prices. Some of these holders
yesterday refused an advance of %c
above quotations and other holders
will consider nothing less than a price
Wased on 8c for good middling.

The entire trade was unusually In
terested during the afternoon in the
rumors that an error had been found
in the ginners’ report through the mis
understanding of a ginner who had re
ported the cotton ginned up to a date
much later than that set by the gov
ernment for these figures, and equal In
terest was shown in the report that
curb sales of cotton had been made m
New York at a substantial advance
over the market's closing prices.
In the local f. o. b. business it was
reported that some business was done
on the market basis of 7%c, basis good

of cases cotton is not to be had at
present prices.

NEW YORK FUTURES
CLOSED AT GAINS.
New York, Dec. 8. —The cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline of 6@7
points, which was only a partial re
sponse to weak cables. It looked as
though Wall street was covering short3,
representing possibly the operations of
parties who had been caught long of
stocks and short of cotton by the big
break in the stock market, and needed
their cotton profits to assist them in
taking care of commitments in securi
ties. This demand led to a steady
market most of the morning, with
prices gradually working up to about
the closing level of yesterday. Around
midday there was a wave of bear pres
sure and a decline to about the previ
ous low level, but in the afternoon the
market again steadied upon covering
and was finally very steady at a net
advance of 7@9 points.
Sales were estimated at 250,000 bales.
The afternoon advance was promoted
by the steadier Southern spot markets,
full exports and liberal Interior ship
ments as compared with receipts. An
other factor that undoubtedly exercised
considerable influence and caused cov
ering by timid shorts was a report that
a Southern newspaper had published a
letter from a cotton ginner to the effect
that he personally had misunderstood
instructions or the government’s re
quest for information, and had report
ed the amount of cotton ginned on Nov.
20, instead of Nov. 13. The party in
question claims that the mistake was
general, and that the report of the cen
sus bureau was misleading as to tho
volume of cotton ginned to Nov. 13,
by about 700,000 bales.
Conservative people here seemed in
clined to discredit the statement. After
the close of the market, however,
transactions were made unofficially at
an advance of 9 to 10 points from the
closing figures, and New Orleans ruled
very Ann during the late trading.

WILL GIVE OUT COTTON REPORTS
PIECEMEAL, AS HE HAS DONE.
Director of the Census North Tells Why This
Plan is Followed.
Washington. Dec. B.—Director of the
Census North to-day made a state
ment setting forth the position of the
census bureau In connection with the
resolution recently adopted by the
Memphis, Tenn., Cotton Exchange and
concurred in by other exchanges, re
questing that the census office aban
don Its present/plan of publishing the
cotton crop reports in partial state
ments and withhold all information
until reports have been received from
every county in the cotton belt. Di
rector North says;
“Since the census bureau undertook
the collection and publication of the
statistics of cotton ginned, only two
objections have been urged to its plan,
namely: That too much time elapsed
between the collection and the publi
cation dates of the reports and that
the exigencies of the cotton trade re
quired reports more frequently than
once a month.
"The change was made to meet
these two objections. It is impossi
ble to give out complete reports un
til all the agents huve made their re
turns; and, us facilities for travel and
other conditions differ widely through
out the cotton producing states, it oft
en happens that a few county re
ports are lute and the publication
of the full report thus delayed several
days. Under the new plan informa
tion Is given to the public as fast as
received and compiled. Incidentally
the returns are thus protected from

opening prices commenced improving
and up to about 2 o'clock had gained
6 to 8 points. The brokers spent most
of their time discussing the probabil
ity of the farmers holding back their
cotton, when a great commotion was
created by a rumor to the effect that
a large error had been discovered in
the government bureau report. The
ring immediately went wild with ex
citement and prices shot up 20 to 22
points and held the advance well, los
ing but a point or two before the ses
sion closed. January opened 10 points
lower than yesterday’s closing at

WARE A LKLAXD .
Say No Rrison To Be Short of Cot
ton at Present Figures.
New York. Dec. B.—There was very
little change in the cotton market to
day. The covering demand seemed to
be sufficient to off-set pressure, and
the market was at a standstill most
of the day. The South seemed to be
holding its own very well, and there
was no stampede as many had expect
ed. The market is now just 10 cents
lower than it was lees than a year
ago. Never in history of cotton spec
ulation has cotton sold at 17.50 c and
7.50 c the same year. The country was
speculatively cotton mad at 17.50 c;
every one is bearish at 7.50 c, and veri
ly it looks as though they, too, would
have their reward. Few seem to be
able to get far enough away from the
day’s business to realize what is rep
resented by a difference of 10 cents.
There is no reason for cotton to be sell
ing around 7 cents. There is no com
parison with other prices at any such
figure as this. It will take some time
for the trade to recover from the blow,
but the present depression cannot last
indefinitely. There is no reason to be
short of cotton with New York at 7*4
cents. It will be found that cotton has
some value even though the crop is a
large one. When the trade begins to
recover from the attack of fright, this
will be a very different feeling abroad.
J. S. BACHE * CO.’S
Dally Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vick A Cos.
New York, Dec. B.—The South is
withdrawing offerings. Whether hold
ers are starting out to hold in earnest,
they are evidently going to try the ex
periment. The spinner, accepting the
government estimate of the crop, is
bent on averaging his supplies and the
result so far as we can see, is that
spot business is practically at a stand
still. Offerings are few, and demand
practically nothing. This is a situa
tion that cannot continue long. One
side or the other will yield. Conditions
seem to favor the consumer. Mills
have enough cotton to make them rel
atively independent, and while the big
amount already sold has put the
South in funds, these funds, we think,
have, to some extent, been Invested in
stocks, and the severe break in securi
ties. if not speedily recovered, may
have an important bearing on the cot
ton situation.
Pending the result In this direction,
speculation is likely to go slowly.
There will be efforts to discount indi
vidual views as to the trend of the
market, of course, but in the main a
scalping policy will be pursued leading
to irregular fluctuations broad enough
to afford a good trading market.
Judging from the information reach
ing us from the South and abroad we
are inclined to believe that further de
clines will be secured as the holidays
approach and with this in mind would
advise short sales on all bulges.

the possibility of "leakage" or any
suspicion of leakage.
‘‘The plan also meets the second ob
jection by giving the public more fre
quent reports and gradually prepared
all concerned for the complete monthly
statement given the total quantity gin
ned to a given date. The preliminary re
port of Nov. 22 gave an accurate force
cast of the full report and gave notice
to producer and manufacturer, as to
what might be expected in the Anal re
port issued Nov. 30. and in consequence
there were no sharp and sudden Ac
tuations in prices during that time.
Asa steadying inAuence upon the mar
ket the jfarttal reports have been
abundantly JustlAed already.
"The estimate of the United States
Department of Agriculture, estimating
the year's growth at 12.162.000 hales,

appeared on Dec. 3. The public, there
fone, had ten days in which to pre
pare for a large crop estimate. It
would appear that the effect of the par
tial statement was to prepare the pub
lic for conditions now appearing and
to prevent wide Huctu'atlons In prices,
which must otherwise have occurred.
"The office has received abundant
testimony that the new method is re
garded by the producers and consum
ers of cotton as an Improvement and
advantage.
"However, the plan of Issuing (hese
partial statements is experimental, and
if at the close of this season its re
sults are not regarded as clearly ad
vantageous to producers and consum
ers. it will he abandoned thereafter.
The census reports are prinfarlly made
for the beneAt of these classes, and
thus far have unmistakably so result
ed."
