The following table-shows receipts at the • traders unit had apparently decided upon n •uwiJwhnt lower figure ginning returns were made the basis for a pretty general selling movement. Moreover, the census findings removed the lastbuU prop, nml by the aame token efHhfiSkted tbcf one deterrent to aggressive^qta*rations on* the part of bear Interest*. and.Its JSe*>wlthout saying that this latter element of the trade has made full use of the advantage gained. “The market has lawn hammered In the most effective iphuncr. bulls have turnedi tall and added their long holdings to nn already burdensome supply of contracts. Southern speculators and the local trading public, who refused to pay any attention to the buying side. Imre freely committed themselves to the short end of the account, and spot dealers have furnished Increased pressure In the shape of hedge sc! lug. This latter class of offerings Is strongly Indica tive of a tendency toward concession on tUe part of spot holder*, and while It can not i»e truthfully said that cash cotton In the South Is pressing on the market, there Is nevertheless plenty of evidence that the supply for the time being Is considerably heavier than the demand. “Mr. Elllaon, of Liverpool, estimates the present season's requirements of American cotton at 12.154,000 bales. Mr. Huston, of the saute place, estimates tho American cotton crop ut 13.000.000 bales, minimum, and possibly a great Meal more provided tho ensuing several weeks art* favorable to picking ami maturing of late planted cotton. If these two estimates are accepted ns final and the carry-over from last season Is mill ed te the apparent surplus of production, there seems to be small cause for worry on the score of bales needed and bales available. But there la no doubt a strong tendency to regard consumption ns under estimated and likewise a strong tendency to regard production ns overestimated as per the foregoing postulates, but In the absence of guesses from equally well posted theo rists the logical thing la to accept these gratuitous figures.” Comparative receipts at all United States Total receipts since September 1,.,,2,440,419 Same time last year 2,418,590 Increase 21,820 Movement nt Atlanta: Receipts today ,. ,, 2,435 Same day last yenr 1,756 Increase „ 679 Shipments today .. .. 1,060 Same day last year 1.096 Doorcase ... 40 Stock on hand today 11.711 Same day last'/ear..., .... 12,?J3 Decrease ' ' 1.0S2 Estimated for tomorrow: New Orleans 17.500 to 20.000 Galveston 28.000 to 32.000 Houston 20.003 to 23.000 In the Inst half hour of the aesalt.. the New York cotton exchange u sharp break ---* * 1 1906 JJOS „ New Orleans Gnlvestou Mobile Savannah. . . % Charleston Wilmington. ......
