Talbot q Palmer's Cotton Letter
BY Private Wire from Fairchild g. Hobson.
( New Orleans, December 11.-By closing
only IL up on deliveries Liverpool was not
up to expectations; spots, however, were
advanced 1-32d on sales of 10000 bales, reg
ulating their position with the English sit
uation American markets reduced their
quotations for contracts at the opening
some points, March selling at 719 BUSH
ness was light today the elements inter-
ferdng with the telegraph service, which
placed the reins in the hands OF the bears.
The feature OF the day was the publishing
of the government crop estimate of g.
100000 bales. The figures furnished by
Washington when averaged up point to a
crop of 8.S73,000. the average yield of lint
per acre being 179 pounds, while the num-
Der of acres under cultivation Is placed at
2S522, 000 therefore the estimate made by
Statistician Hyde seems to have left
plenty of margin for possible errors The
effect of this statement, however, was Wis.,
dble in a break of 4 points, March declin-
dng from 7.23 to 7.19 on it's announcement,
the bears claiming that the bureau will be
as wide of the mark as 1t was last year.
The market closed quiet, with March SELL
ing at 7.2o. 1TE
