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: Open- I 1 ing. (o'clock. 'Quiet. | Quiet. Quiet.

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. SPOT COTTON MARKET.

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. SPOT COTTON AT NEW YORK. New York, Dec. 19. —Spot cotton closed quiet, 15 points lower; mid dling uplands, 7.90 c; middling gulf. 8.15 c; sales 1,561 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.

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.
