Dec. 12.—The Bun says: "The crop estimate put forth by the government of 12,640.600 bales exclusive of (Inter* was a telling blow to the market for the reason that very many will.be Inclined to add a million bale* or more to the eetlmate, ho.' llevlng that the government figures nro that much too low. A year ago It esti mated the crop at 10,167.818 bales and It turned out to be 21,345,98$, or close to 1.209.009 bales more than the December es timate. As already Intimated, most people will consider the estimate Issued yesterday ns altogether too low. Its figures of 12,646,- 000 are construed by tnsuv as meaning In reality 13.000,000 to 13.600,Oft) bales. It may l>e that better methods have been pursued this year and that the figures as given out yesterday are substantially correct, ns they were In 1903 nnd as they caiue very near being in 1902. The difficulty la to know whether this Is so or not. In the meantime there Is the bearish construction put upon It almost everywhere. And It may have fin' effect ot cutting down the demand from spinner* very materially. If they be come convinced that there is to be month or two have been heavy. Koine make the critielsii), however, that the unit adopteil by the bureuti, that of HOO-pound bale* gross, is absurd. Mr. Hester having polnteil out that the weight of the bales this year is a iitfie over 520 pound* gross. Home take the grouud therefore that figures In the estimate really point to only a little over 12.009.009 bale# and are therefore bullish. It Is a fnet that Interior stocks. In spite of the recent enormoua crop move ment, have gained but slowly: nt tne same time, however, the mills' stock must have lawn gaining rapidly." New Orleans, Dec. 12.—The agricultural bureau's crop estimate of 12,646>K) bales of 600 pound* gross weight convinced the talent that the world nt large would now believe production would easily equal spin ner*' requirements, and when the smoke of w , _ r several serlou# technical arguments, but the public knows very little of such things and senti ment will for the time being at least follow in the wake of least resistance. The Inte rior. however, will not likely accept the dictum of the rings without protest. For weeks past the average owner of splnable cotton has repeatedly been urged to sell his bale# practically on his own terms and the suddenly changed aspect of affairs market- wise will api>eal to him In every different light from that in which'It appeals to the speculator. On the other hand, were there uo world's financial cotuplh*nUou* to be considered. chen|H>r raw cotton should aug ment demand to a material degree, on gen eral principles friend* of the staple are dis appointed. Rut last annlyal* price control must ngsln revert to the character of the supply and demand relationship, unless the Interior Is to abandon the splendid advan tage It has won In the recent past.
