In the meantime the fanner Is saying very little, lie claims the price Is now too low. and a refusal to sell at present prices would have more effect for an advaucc than the government's report. The New York Commercial, In Its review of the market Tuesday morning, says: “It Is odd when one stops to consldc whnt Influences cotton prices, under th present system of manufacturing prices for *|Jhe great Southern staple.

It would seem that the fact that the market has no confidence In the govern ment figures would rob them of Inflt but tills Is not the ease. The speculators figure that anything that hears the govern ment seal will have a gambling Influence. Just now the market Is not trying to guess the crop, but to guess the government guess. “Last year the government made n very mail guesN. The same day the government made this gugsir-but earlier In the day— two guesses,vr#re. made In New Orleans, lioth of which practically called the depart ment figures/* Of courso neither one of the guesses had pipy rvalue, when It came to estimating tllc'crop. but they, were success ful In estimating the government. Monday estimates emanated from the same two New Orleans sources, mid for no other reason than that they had lieen about as badly vyroug ns the government was last year, the mnrket declined upon the hypothesis that they would again about hit the govern ment, and that all three guesses would ngalii be nlsnit 1.000,000 hales out of the way. It seems unreasonable that n market should lie Influenced by tills sort of stuff— but a speculative market Is uover reasona ble." In the afternoon there was a slight de cline from the high point, the heavy move ment nt tho ports having.a depressing In fluence. Heiu I-weekly Interior movement: 1806. 1906. 1904.
