A break in the cotton futures mar
kets yesterday brought about chiefly
by the expectation that the coming
ginners' report will make a bearish
showing had the effect of causing a
decline in the local spots market. This
opened quiet at a decline of % of a
cent, and it remained on this level
till the close. There was a good de
mand at the decline, however, and, as
a result, the sales were larger than
they have been any former day for a
■week or more.
The tone, prices and sales for the day
follow:

This report of the ginners will again
be issued piecemeal, and the first in
stalment is expected Thursday. It is
conceded that if it should bear out the
Department of Agriculture’s estimate
of the crop, that there will be little
chance of an improvement in the mar
ket for some time to come, though, if,
on the other hand, the figures should
tend to show a smaller crop than the
department's estimate the trend of
prices would be to a materially higher
basis, meantime there has been no
weakening of holders so far as can be
learned, and offerings of the staple are
by no means free, though there seems
enough to meet current demands.
The local f. o. b. market opened
steady at 7 13-16 - cents, basis good
middling, and closed quiet at 7%c,
same basis. Some business was re
ported, and at least a part of it was
done or. a basis higher than the mar
ket quotation.

EXPECTED REPORT
SENT FUTURES DOWN.
New York, Dec. 19.—The cotton mar
ket reflected bearish expectations as
to the showing of the forthcoming
ginners' report, and ruled active as a
result of bear pressure and liquidation
with the final prices at the lowest level
of the day and season. The opening
was steady at an advance of I@s points
in response to rather better cables than
looked for. The Liverpool market
should have been about unchanged to
3 points lower, but was net unchanged
at the hour of the local opening, while
spot cotton was in moderate demand
at an advance of 4 points. The steady
ing influence of this showing, however,
was offset by private cables claiming
that, in spite of small Southern offer
ings, the undertone was not favorable,
and the local market failed to hold the
initial gain. Leading professionals ap
peared to be hammering the market
all along the line, and shortly after
the opening prices began to sag off,
followed by New Orleans and the Liv
erpool market. After a decline of
some 9 to 10 points, there was irreg
ularity around midday with the small
receipts, estimated for leading points
to-morrow, large exports and private
reports of strong spot holders attract
ing some support. But the market
broke again in the afternoon and dur
ing the balance of the session was
generally weak. As prices declined
some stop orders were caught and the
market was finally barely steady at a
net loss of 16@21 points, with January
quoted at 7.44, or 6 points below the
previdus low level. Sales were esti
mated at 250,000 bales.

DEMEHF. a HAMMOND'S
Dally Cotton Letter from New York.
New York. Dec. 19.—Slowly but sure
ly, the weight of cotton Is telling on
weak Interior holders. Spinners seem
to be practically out of the market,
and ctfiifldence In a bullish ginners' re
port has been steadily on the wane.
The lowest calculation is for at least
11,000,000 bales ginned to Deo. 13. and
such an amount could only point to a
crop of 12,000,000 or over. There are,
however, many who believe th it the
■amount ginned to Dec. 13 will be 11.-
fiOO.OOO. Of course, that would leave
absolutely no room for doubt as to
the minimum out-turn, while the maxi
mum would promptly be pictured by
Interested parties at extravagantly
high figures. Liverpool at the opening
was steady enough so far us prices
went, but sales, only 6.00° boles of
spots, were a notice to the trade that
spinners are taking a holiday In ad
vance of the hollduy season. The pres
sure of offerings from this side and
the absence of demand latter on caused
decided weakness and closed that mar
ket about 4 points lower than Satur
day. There was nothing in receipts
that could be cnrislrued bearish—lll
fact. If the movement alone Is consid
ered, there Is nothing to Indicate a
great, big yield. Exia/rts. on the other
hand, continue quite heavy. We learn

J. S. DACIIE A CO.'S
Dally Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vlclc A Cos.
New York, Dec. 19.—Such news as
was at hand at the hour of the local
opening seemed more favorable to
prices than otherwise. Liverpool was
better than due, being net unchanged,
whereas a partial decline of 3 points
was expected and spot cotton being 4
points higher on sales of 6,000 bales
gave an air of legitimacy to the ad
vance which, however, was belied by
private cables, reporting a poor un
dertone in spite of small Southern of
ferings, this fact later becoming pat
ent when Liverpool eased oft in re
sponse to local losses. The market
here opened steady at an advance of
I@s points, but did not hold the gain.
Professionals seemed to be selling in
expectation of a bearish ginners' re
port later in the week, which they
concluded, with weakness in futures,
would most probably lead to the liqui
dation of Southern spot holders and
bring about another step in the read
justment which they claim is still need
ed to balance demand and supply un
der present conditions. There was some
demand, encouraged by continued re
ports of steady spot holders, but in
spite of this and covering by smaller
shorts, not over confident as to the
ginners’ report, showing prices sagged
off to a net decline of about B@lo
points. March seemed pegged around
7.71 c for the time being, and after
reaching this figure two or three times
reacted a couple of points, and the
demand for this position tended to
steady the list.
COTTON MAX WAXTS INFORMATION.
Mr. P. D. Daffin yesterday received
the following telegram from a cotton
man of Temple, Tex.: “Has there been
much cotton ginned in your state since
the last report, and what do you think
the next ginners’ report will show?”
To this Mr. Daffin replied; “Not
much ginned since last report; can’t
guess what government will say.”
GINNERS ORGANIZE.
They Want to Anticipate the Gov
ernment Reports.
Dallas, Tex., Dec. 19.—Ginners from
all of the cotton growing states west
of the Mississippi river met in Dallas
to-day and organized the National
Cotton Ginners' Association of the
United States, with J. A. Kyler, of
Wynnewood. I. TANARUS., as president, and
J. H. Connell, of Dallas, secretary and
treasurer.
The purpose of this organization is
to gather accurate and reliable in
formation concerning the amount of
cotton produced and the condition of
the crop, and to furnish it to the mem
bers of its association in advance of
the government report. While the or
ganization at present includes only
those ginners from the states west
of the Mississippi, organization of other
states, it is said, will follow, and they
will be incorporated in the national
association.
There are about 30,000 cotton gin
ners in the United States, and it is
declared that by means of organization
the ginners would form a most re
liable and accurate corps of cotton crop
reporters.
