From "Cotton Cnuaerle." in The New York Commercial Thursday morning: The "hard luck crowd" weut long yester day. Tho chart players #ald that the market wa* due for n reaction. The story was handed around that Price wa* a buyer. "Another week of record-breaking move ment, and the feara of the spinners of the world will,bo allayed.” said one prom inent broker. A desperate efTort is l>elng made to keep Jauuary from bitting 10c. There is nti underlying feeling of nervous ness in the market, ana It I* just the mar ket -that the outsider ahould Ik* afraid of,' Wall Street has gone long for a turn. It waa widely advertised yesterday that Miss Giles was to be out with some sort of a bullish guess, or estimate, or expression today. Mis* Giles has already given out her estl- mate of the crop. Sho has never ruined In terest In her figures by getting out u half doyen crop estimates, a» some other peo ple do. Just after the close there was n very bull ish feeling on the curb. For a time 22 was nsged for January; later it was offered at 18. There is never a word said about en uring the rule against curb trading nowa- ly*. It Is n foolish rule a* it now reada, at beat. The startling statement by the senator from Texas Is: ”Aud the men who never raised a bale of cotton buy cotton by the hundred thousand bales.” Just where the market would be if only men who raise cotton bought cotton It something that Sen ator Bailey ahould explain, and the sena tor la probably nble to explain anything alwmt cotton speculation.
