The cotton trade showed an improve ment in all its branches yesterday, for 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 middling, but that in the vast majority of cases cotton is not to be had at present prices.

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. ■ POT COTTON AT NKW YORK.

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 DEMERE L HAMMOND. Brohers.

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 7.48 c, sold up to 7.56 c before the ex citement when the price went up to 7.78 c, a gain of 22 points and finally eased off to 7.75 c.

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. dhy goods market. New York, Dec. B.—Outside of eer fain revisions in bleached goods, which were discounted, the dry goods market possesses little in the way of features. Fruit of the loom have been reduced to 7*4c, and Marshall Fields & Cos. are reported to be offering theirs at 6%c and Lonsdale at 6%e. 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, sewetu -Jbajkfl qualltW lIRDLUUUU 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." SPIRITS OFF AGAIN HIT MARKET CLOSED FIRM AT ONLY SLIGHTLY LOWER LEVEL.
