EUROPE LAUGHS AT 1T.
How NeilI's Estimate of the Crop Is
Regarded Ahrnad

New York, Sept. 12,-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say to-day: Our cable advices state
that foreign markets were effected by
heavy selling from continental sources
supposed to represent spinners who had
knowledge of another estimate from Mr.
Neill to offset the bureau report publish
ed yesterday. Europe simply laughs at
that document, regarding its conclusions
as ridiculous and not worthy of a mo-
ments consideration. An inspection of the
Manchester Guardian and Liverpool Post
would convince any spinner there had
been no damage from the hottest and dry
est August which the official records re-
port. Our market has been a nervous and
tiuctuating one with large transac tions
which have influenced prices rapidly with
the trade quite at sea over the immediate
course of values. They are afraid of Mr.
NeilPs influence on the spinner and yet
they cannot overlook the bad crop ac-
counts through public and private ad-
vices"

COTTON GOES OFF SLIGHTLY.

1851 Bales, the largest for Several

cent Decline of . Cents.
savannah. Sept 1.-THE cotton market
re7t off lie cent to-day in response to
, decline of and Y points on New York
f,tures. The decline in New York was
due 10 a drop in Liverpool. which was
caused by several considerations. among
them being the report that Mr.. Neiu was
rrepariug to issue crop estimate on the
line of his last one. For this and other
reasons there was an inclination on the
MARI Of spinners to suspend buying and
await developments. This inclination to
hold back has been observed locally, and
,he declines were not surprising The
effect of the decline locally was to open
no business. The days sales were 1881
bales against S31 bales on Monday.
Shirts fully recovered from the decline
of i, cent, which was quoted at the open
ing of the market on sales made after
the closing Monday. The market was
buletined firm at the opening, with 4S24
cents bid and Al cents asked. In the af-
ternoon the market ruled firm at A cents
hid The transactions for the day were
satisfactory to factors. Rosin was firm
at previous quotations; except H. which
was quoted al $1.15 bid and $1.2O asked.
It was currently reported that sufficient
sales of medium grades were made after
the close to advance them 5 cents. the
amount of the recent decline. In the
wholesale branches there were no changes
al consequence, and business was moving
along about as usual. The following re-
sumo of the different markets will show
the tone and quotations at the close to-
day:
