made considerable bull progress to-day on
general buying, which was based on a
change in the character of news on the
acreage. The opening was 1 TO 8 points
lower, and within the first few minutes
prices lost an additional point or more
under spasmodic selling by the foreign ell
ement, and much weaker cables from the
English market than had been calculated
upon as a fair response 10 our decline Of
yesterday.
Ii soon became very evident that liQui-
datiOn here had run its course, and the
bulls aggressiVely attacked the position Of
shorts. Prominent Wall street commission
houses soon came to the assistance of the
longs, and before the first hour had elaps-
ed sentiment in all directions showed
pronounced bullish leaning. Liverpool and
the South, as well as Philadelphia and
New York, exporters. were active buyers
on the up-turu The market showed great
recuperative power. and not only was the
early loss wiped out but a net rise of II
Ql5 points was established.
Speculation reached large proportions.
Shortly after midday it was rumoTed that
the government had reduced its crop es-
innate to 100000 bales. Following close
upon this report came official estimates

The Liverpool market firmed up and
closed, showing very little net loss. Late
in the day the Cotton Exchange telegraph
ed TO Washington for Information as to
the reliability of the rumor in circulation
regarding the government crop estimate.
A lengthy reply was received in which the
official statistician estimated the total
yield at not over 5000 $50 bales.

COTTON LETTERS.

New York Nov. 14-Hubbard Bros. &

nous transactions of yesterday the market
displayed great nervousness to-day. Open
ing easy under the liquidation of cotton
carried over form the closing, il slowly
rallied, becoming active at a subs antial
advance on a rumOr that the government
had reduced it's crop estimate to 100000
bales. Business was on a quieter scale
than for the last few days, but the under
tone was better than a any time yester-
day. On the advance thoss4 who took the
cotton on the decline were quiet sellers,
supplying the demand. 1t Is to be expected
that the market will be an exceedingly
nervous one for some time, until the trade
reach a definite conclusion as to whether
this decline was only a reaction or whether
the large buying by spinners last week at
the top marked the elimination of the ad-
vance.
The statement Of the agricultural depart
ment published in the press will undoubt-
edly be read as pointing towards a crop
of 100000 bales. This report was given

vance of Y cent at the close to-day,
though it was not generally considered
that the situation was strong at this fig

cihc, which gave a healthy tone TO the
railroad hist. Proft-talIing sales In this
stock were detected at an early period OF
the trading and had not a httle to do with
checking the general upward tendency.
The decisive influence in turning prices
downwards was the realization that yes
terdays easing of the money rate was due
to a sporadic supply of funds and rot 10
any radical change In the condition of the
money market A large portion of the
funds loaned yesterday were attributed 20
a cash deposit by one OF The railroads for
the purpose of taking up an Old underlying
issue of bonds. This supply of money had
the effect of offsettlng the calling of loans
for the banks. made necessary 10y the de-
pletiou of reserves and prevented the
strlngency of the money market which had
been feared. The effect was manifest to-
day as well as yesterday. though the call
money not going over per cent and rul-
ing generally below that. Sterling ex-
change rate showed a quick response TO
this easing of the local money rate and
moved an additional fraction upwards
away from the gold import point.
This caused a cessation Of the talk of
immediate gold imports, on which was bas-
ed the upward movement of yesterday In
stocks. This hope or relief by an in
ward movement of gold had to be ADAM
doned for the time Meantime the alb

the probable continuance Of demands from
the interior have still to be reclSoned with.
Discoura cement oVercame the operators
for rise and they proceeded to sell out
their holdings, wiping out the earlier gains
and carrying prices below last nights level.
Considerable speculative activity Is di-
verted to the cotton market. where the de-
velopment of foreign demand indicates
the REIMBURSEMENT by foreign buyers Of
their attitude of waiting for lower prices.
AS bearing on the general money eitua-
ton II Is important to note that adVices
from the South report money in abundant
supply there, so that planters have been
able to obtain accommoda lions for holding
their cotton FOR higher prices. The large

Savannah, Nov 1.-THE encouraging

of the general tone at Mondays closing.
Cotton went up lie cent. spirits turpentine

diums and ali the low grades of rosin al

advance, and with but few exceptions, the
ACTIVITY pointed to finer conditions which
will doubtless have the effect of holding
the market up. While there was a fairly
good demand at the opening, the impress
sion after the closing was that spirits was
not strong at the quotations, 49l2 cents, be-
cause of The indifference of buyers. AT the
advance rosin was in good demand, how
ever, and any change win in al probahil-

ing received in any considerable quanti-
ties but they are in demand nevertheless.
and will sell readily at quotations. For
the grades marked up Today some factors
are being offered an advance on the clos
ing quotations. The wholesale market was
steady. Business is taking on more life
by reason of the receipt of the new crops

20 an agreement was made between MIN
istor Merry and Mr.. SAMSON, minister OF
foreign affairs, by which the matter was
to be first referred to the tribunal OF Blue
fields district. II on examination II should
be found that the government had the
right to demand the payment OF duties
claimed, the deposit which had been I'M
properly called duties collected Il second
time now in the hands OF the British con-
sui, will DC paid to tho authorities of the
custom house. On tho other hand, If it
is decided that the payment made to tho
rcvolutionists of Bluehclds was legal, for
the reason, which they pretend, that the
revolutionary organization of General
Reyes was the government de factor, then
tho deposit shall he returned to the mer-
chants. AS a last resort the matter may
come to the minister of foreign relations
of Nicaragua and the secretary of state OF
