Holidays have been announced for all the leading- cotton exchanges December 25 and 26 and January I and 2. These dates fall upon Christmas and New Year, and the succeeding day each -week, r.nd they cover the dates on which the re ports would come out In their order This will account for the non-ap pearance of tho report of Secretary Hester on these days.

Tim statistics in this advertisement show tho total port receipts from September I each year, through the 12th da> «f the following January. All contestants have the figures before them, and estimates may be based thereon. Wo can not be too pln'n in warning all parties thnt we rely entirely upon the figures of the New Orleans cotton exchange, as they will be certified to tis by Secretary Heater. Do not l>e confused by anj dally reports that yon may find pub llshed from other exchangee. Do not be misled by nny other figures or be gnidc.i In any way by statistics fmm whatever source, except from Secretary Hester Some parties write ua to explain why the figures varv. We can rot do w, will not attempl It, and leave the matter entirely as ft Is shown above. fiutficlcnt Information htae already been adduced to base an Intelligent estimate wpon I'. Is br tter not to try to figure too closely. Wr have had many w:»tc us t thnt t-hev had everything all right up to nearly th« last day. and then made a mis calculation and lost the pi uo money.
