Weekly Market review.

The course of the cotton market has con-
tinued downward; the developments of the
week have brought no cheer 10 holders and
producers of the staple. Still, there was no
sensational break, the loss for the week
reaching only abont &c. On Saturday, jan
uary sold as low as 5.S4c, reacted trifle
and closed at 5.S6c; March, 5.94c. There
would no doubt have been much more
severe decline on Saturday, but for the
support given the market by reports of
frost at many points in the south. The
weakness may be attributed to the grow
ing disposition of the trade 10 incline to-
wards increased crop estimates So far, il
cannot be denied that current crop esi-
mates are entirely a matter of sentiment
and guess-work, and the professional "au-
thorities," who are positive that the total
will be at least 10,500000,s and will probably
reach 11,000, 000 bales, are as apt as not to
find themselves 100000 to 100000 bales
out of the way. The movement is heavy,
but barely compares With that of 1884,
while the present crop is earlier than that
one was, and the movement to date is
nearly 200, 600 bales less than to the same
date last year. Comparing with 1894, the
acreage this year may be put to 10 per
cent. larger, and the crop condition GER
tainly 10 to Is per cent. lower, that is,
very moderate estimate of the difference
between an almost perfect season, and one
which has been a very long way from per-
feet. If the crop is to reach 10,500,OO0 bales
it is difficult to see when where and how
it was all made. The price on plantations
is below sc, and several months hence,
when crop estimates have to be reduced"
so that the enterprising guesser can show
that he was right after all, 1t will be too
late for a consequent rise to be of much
benefit to the producer. 1t would appear
that the decline has gone about far enough
for the sober second-thought of the trade
should soon arrive at the consideration
that estimates do not make crops
Wheat was active and unsettled Some
early weakness resulted. in &c break. De-
cember reaching 93c, but the market
strengthened again, and on Friday reach
ed 951Rc From this there was &c reaction,
but the close was again strong at 9734c-
2%c over last week. May closed 95l4c Va
rious causes are mentioned as contributing
to the strength, such as confirmation of
Europes deficiency; less satisfactory crop
conditions in the southern hemisphere;
lighter receipts and good demand in this
country From the actual facts, however,
and especially the circumstance that the
strength is led by the December option in
Chicago, one would infer that bullish man.
ipulation is having more to do with it than
anything else As stated last week, the
market is strong, but treacherous. 1t is
liable to slump sharply at almost any
time.
Corn quiet, with moderate changes; De-
cember 267sc.
Provisions weak and are tending down.
Ribs and lard declined about 20 points;
pork, 40c; January ribs, $40
