THE SITUATION IN COTTON.


N. o. Picayune.]
The cotton market is now about
entering the season Of lethargy
which usually accompanies the
Christmas holidays; but, unless all
signs are deceptive, there is period
of considerable activity ahead after
the holiday influence have passed
by. Although lulI prevails at pres
ent, there is strong contest I'M.
pending between the bulls and the
bears.
The foreign buyers, as well as do
nestle spinners, are for the moment
holding of, in the hope of securing
lower trices. They have been told
,ha. the backwardness of the move
,oent is due to the accommodations OF
stocks in the interior which are be-
mo held back. The purchasing IN
terests. therefore, believe that the
crop is considerably larger than the
cnrrent estimates. On the other
hand. the sellers Of cotton point to
the light movement OF the CROP
which they attribute, not to holding
back, but to the smallness OF the
crop. The bulls maintain that, In
stead of being held back, the move
ment of cotton to market has been
on a brisk scale, and that the real
cause for the comparatively ligh'
1 movement is the short crop.
The above is about the presen
position betM cen the contendIns
forces in the market. The move
ment of the crop into sight, a
lshown by Mr.. Testers figures, com
pares more closely with the yea
| 1892 than with any of the others 0
1.-The recent years. The movement t
| date is but 5000 bales ahead OF 1892
In that year the crop reached $500
600 bales. On the basis of tn
movement, therefore, the crop resen
bles very closely that Of 1892. III
bulls claim that, owing to favorab
weather, the crop has been marke'e
more rapidly than usual, and tha
consequently, a smaller percentae
remains to come in than was the ca
Il in 1899. On the other hand, IL
III hears claim that the small recelp
have been due to the holding bat
by planters and interior merchant
and that, consequently, the cote
. must eventually come out and swt
: the receipts at the outports.
