The Cotton Market

I Chas ID. Freeman & Co. New York,
+ send Us the following circular and we
believe the majority Of our readers a.
/ gree with them;
For the past twelve years the average
/ movement Of the crop into sight to the
first Of Dec. has been so. Il per cent. Of
the total out.turn. The lowest percent.
age which has come into sight te the
date named has been 4742 per cent.
and the highest has been 81. s. per cent.
If this crop has moved as fast as the
fastest, the total out turn would be s.
746, 5o4 If it has moved on an average.
the total out-turn would be 9, 457, 125:
if ii has moved as slow as the slowest,
the total out-t turn would be 10. l1S, 260.
In making these calculations we have
taken the amount in sight TO Nov. 50th,
as shown by the Financial Chronicle,
which is 4 795, 1JS bales. In determi.
ming, therefore, the size ofthe preseat
crop, it seems is US that the most i'm.
p0rtant fact was to asce. tain what per.
centage has come into sight to the first
Of Dec, The percentages stated in re-
ply to our inquiries would seem to
prove that this crop has been marketed
faster than any crop 10 the past twelve
years, 1t is certainly true that the ex-
cephonally high prices in Sept. and the
first part Of Oct, with the heavy dis
counts on the distant positions, and
with the exceptional demand for i'm.
mediate delivery of spot cotton, were
all calculated to inslre the rapid mar
keting Of the crop, To this end; too,
the splendid open weather which pre-
vailed throughout the South during
picking season should also have contri.
buted. Another fact worthy of note is
that the small crops have for number

said in regard to the South being rich
this year, and in position to hold its cot
ton. While this is perhaps true, it
seems to us absurd that planters and
farmers would not market their crop
more rapidly at from 9 to II cents than
they would at and 6, and that, too,
when the premium for immediate de-
livery of spot cotton is So to $40 a bale
above the delivery for next Spring and
Summer. We have for months believed
that the weather conditions prevailing
in the South during the Spring and
Summer rendered large crop impossi-

nut the movement to date, coupled
with the answers we have received to

that the crop may surprise the entire
trade by being smaller than even the
