tail and department stores was the best
recorded, the average gain over the pre-
ceding month being close upon 20 per
cent. In clothing and shoes several
houses report gains running rs to So per
cents These results were surprising
considering that a very heavy business
was accomplished in June. Many mail
orders come to hand and there LIZ yet

Jobbing houses are receiving as many
orders as expected for fall delivery. and
there is falling off in holdover requests
from buyers in the districts affected by

dry goods houses exceed last years at
this period. The demand is general, and
prices are firm in both staple and fancy
lines.
In Boston the general merchandise
movement continues steady. Retail and
jobbing branches are more active, with
larger sales of dry goods. hats and caps,
footwear, etc. Dry goods jobbers note
an Improvement in trade in fall lines.
and the clothing trade Is also better on
fall account. Buying Of boots and shoes

orders by mail are in good volume.
At Philadelphia the iron and steel
market Is reported in very fair condl-
ton, and there is good demand in all
directions. Prices. while not advancing,
are reported Arm, and consumers are
busy. Coal trade is somewhat stimulat-

ticipated. New buildings for July 1909,

At Pittsburg the only noticeable fea-
ture in the iron and steel market is the
improvement in pig iron, which has
greatly strengthened. and the market
now is strong contrast to what it has
been in the past few weeks. The Valley
furnaces have sold 10000 tons of Besse-
mer iron to a large consumer for deliv-
cry during the month OF August, and
the buying Of this iron 10 the cause of
the strengthening in the market noted.

The mills are engaged ahead for from
two to three months, and during the
week past 10000 tons were sold by the
Pittsburg producers. The plate market

amounted to about 1900. tons. Prices
are unchanged. Merchant bar is still
an active feature Of the market. The
mills have business ahead for over two

burg producers during the week
amounted to more than 1900 tons.
In New Orleans there has been an inn
provement in the volume of business

New York, Nov. 30.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices
to points advance, this being an in
different response to firm Liverpool ca
bles and private crop estimates of d
bullish character. Almost Immediately
after the call the market turned weak
and January broke to 7.55e, Under liqHi-
dation by disappointed room longs. On
the decline the South and Wall street
sold a little cotton, scalping shorts took
profits as mere matter of course. Re-
ceipts at the ports and at interior
towns were liberal the weather South
was generally fair and the public man
ifested no desire to re-enter the mar
ket before the bureau estimate makes
its appearance next Tuesday. Private
adviceS from the South stated that eX-
porters were good buyers in interior
markets.
The market closed quiet and steady
with prices net to points lower.

and the same may be said of the va
rious estimates so far issued by other
exchanges and individuals, the great
majority of which indicate a crop of
10,500,000 or over The visible supply
of cotton during the week gained 1885,
900 bales, including $4,000 gain for the
American. The weather to-day was
warmer in the Atlantic states, Selma
and Camden S. c., reported 33 degrees,
and Columbus, Ga. 81. The market
was favorably influenced by the Liv-
erpool cable, the opening being at I'M
changed prices to l to 2 advance, but
before a great while there was uneX-
pected selling pressure, causing to
decline. A leading firm issued an
estimate of 9,7SS000 bales, based on
3,476 letters from the southern sec
tions. Texas was credited with $780,
600 bales, as against 3S09, 900 last year
The report claims the crop has been
marketed earlier than any previous
season, and that the top crop is a to-
tai failure. The explanation for the
early weakness was a desire of shorts
and other interested parties to secure
all the cotton possible before the bu-
reau figures appear for even if the
small crop estimates circulated are half
million short of the actual yield, stin
the crop would not exceed 10, 200, 600.
A report that a recount at Brennan
showed 10000 less than supposed had
the effect of recovering the lost ground

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.
New Orleans. Nov. 3O.-Cotton fu-
+,,ras ctaoax
III. & b. Beers Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Nov. S0.-As Liverpool
was not encouraging, our market OPEN
ed l and lower, declined to add
tional on the large port and interior
receipts, but subsequently improved 5
on fresh buying, owing to the small
crop estimate issued by Messrs. Latham
Alexander & Co., easing off near the
close on the weakness of spots, MAX
ing the net loss l to 2 points on the
day Referring to Messrs. Latham Al
exander & Co.'S estimate of 9733,000
issued to-day the trade do not ac-
cept this seriously, as it is well known
that their figures have always been
considerably under the actual out
turn. Last year, on Dec. Il, their es
innate was 9,767 900, and the actual
crop was 1888 900, or $751; 900 over. The
year before last, on Nov. 10, their es-
innate was S,7090 900, and the actual
crop was 9,436,O00, or $4,000 more.
However, Notwithstanding these facts,
it is feared that the bureaus estimate
will be 10000, 900 or under, as it is con-
tended that the government secures in
formation from similar sources and
therefore that the document will be
very bullish. Judging from estimates
promulgated by the leading exchanges
it Is generally thought that the crop
will be 10,500,0 900 or over. 1t matters
not what the opinions of private indl-
viduals are, it is plainly in evidence
that all operators anticipate bullish
estimate from the bureau, and will not
enter into new engagements until aft
err it's issuance. In the interim re-
ceipts will continue to regulate values.

Brooklyn Transit was another point of

New York, Nov 30.-The Liverpool
report to-day indicates practically no
change in the prices in that market,
which was rather surprising in view
of the fact that that market made an
average guess of 10,6O0, 900 for the crop
after yesterdays close. If the estimate
was worth anything whatever, that
market should have gone off sharply
and the conclusion is that people max
ing the estimate entertained them

New York, Nov. Sour market
opened with sales of January at 1920,
and after selling at 1901 55c, ruled
at 7.60c at IL a. m. The action of our
market in face of the expected bullish
report from the government can only
be attributed to the offerings in the
South, as the only sellers again TODAY
were the spot houses and their brok-
ers. Cotton is coming here for de-
livery on December in small quanti-
ties. AS the report will be published
on Tuesday the market should rally
sharply on Monday. Certainly there is
no short interest here in face of this
report. There has been more done for
export during the past week. We hear
of large freight engagements in the
Southwest. The temper of the trade
is not quite so bullish but they see
nothing in the crop estimates being
published to cause a decline. The spot
market was quiet and unchanged.

Spot cotton closed steady and un-
changed to-day with sales by factors
of IS bales. Receipts were 0,703,
against 6,929 last year. and 1888 year
before last. Little disposition was
shown by either side to trade, and the
closing found transactions of impor-
lance scarce. In the fob. market the
same backwardness that has charac-
terized the market for weeks past was
again shown, with buyers and sellers
unable to get together on the price.

This was another day of hesitation
N the cotton markets, with no appar-
ent disposition to act in any quarter
prior to the appearance of the govern
ment report. One feature in connec>
ton with that report is the apparent
success of the department in keeping
it out of the hands of the big specu-
tators, who have not so far obtained
it, or if they have, the narrow move
ment of the futures market for the
past two weeks fails to reveal it. The
government has most of the cotton
world guessing-the same as it is do
ing as to the crop.
In the country the anxiety as to the
tenor of this report has grown until
it is reported that in many sections
holders who usually offer their cotton
through Savannah brokers have ap>
piled the brakes and come to a COM
plete stand. They want to know what
the government has to say before they
act, for it tffdy not cost much after all
to wait During the past few days
signs of an easier tendency have APP
peared, however, and there has been
a few anxious sellers, but on the
whole the country is standing pat.
Savannah factors did little to-day. The
same is true in the f. o. b. market.
