New York, Dec 10.-Goyernment crop
report i'm cotton was responsible for some
startling changes in that market to-day.
Previous to its issue Mt noon the market
had been fairly steady with very little
change in the range of prices. AT first
the report was construed bullishly as
indicating a crop of only S,23S,00 bales,
and the market held quite, steady until
about / o'clock when large selling orders
were received from New Orleans. These
heavy offerings appearing on a market
already somewhat unsettled, had q very
decided effect The January option
dropped from T.27 to $50, while March
fell from 7.44 to TIC, these being the
lowest prices Of the present crop. The
decline was attended by unusual excite
ment. The pit was full of frightened
traders. all having more or less urgent
orders to SELL Subsequently the selling
movement was exhausted and a steadier
feeling ensued, during which prices re-
covered a good part Of the loss. Closing
prices showed a net decline Of 1920
points from last night, with tone steady.

all other factors the bureau report domi-
mated the market To-Day, forcing IL ue-
cline through the liquidation of holding
and the execution of stop orders. Ac-
cordng to figures put forth by the report
the yield this season, including the pro-
duction Of the increased acreage, was
115 2-10 per cent, as compared with last
year, and this the trade thought in
dicated a crop of S,250,0O0 bales. As
the bureau report in previous seasons
indicated smaller crop than the actual
yield, the trade presumed that they had
made similar error this year
and that the report should go
TO 100000 bales On this theory
the market broke catching stop
orders from time to time, which carried
the extreme decline to below seven cents,
from which point there was a recovery
to the close of business. Early in the
day Liverpool sold here in large quanti-
ties, filling all of the buying orders and
as the trade has become bearish on the
uninterrupted decline, there was no usual
resisting power in the market. The
movement indicates a crop in the neigh
borhood of the estimate of the bureau,
but not to the crop ideas held by the
trade after its publication. All bullish
features were overborne by the execu
ton of stop orders and a feeling Of dis
couragement dominates the trade at the
close.
