H. & B. Beers Cotton Letter.

Especial to The Advertiser
 NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 26.-The future busi- ness in our exchange yesterday was suspended owing to the Labor Day celebration. which is legal holiday in New Orleans. There was curb trading however, and March contracts sold at TAO and as high as 7.45. Early Liv- erpool advces were discouragng today and our market in sympathy opened lower. de- ,clin-d additional. shortly after on the large port receipts but subsequently, advanced 6 in consequence Of the later. Improvement in Iiv- erpool and the light Houston estimate. Near the close values eased off slightly owing to selling against spot purchases. making the net gain | point over Saturdays quotations; Not withstanding port receipts for the four days are 1000 in excess of last year and the eX- ports to Great Britain show increase of 40. 900 over last year during the same tine the semi weekly interior estimate was 32. 900 less than last year therefore no inclination was exhibited by operators to sell. The fact of the matter is the general opinion has grown that the bureaus estimate will be 10, 800, QUO under and pending the issuance of this documeu' shorts have all covered, being averse to ert"ring into new engaGem"nts until the rer"ft has been officially promulgated. From rIe5-Pt indications 1t looks as if the market will continue steady in the interim, unless re- Ceipts increase decidedly.

 NEW ORLEANS. Nov 26.--The weekly re- ports of foreign trade have departed from the pessmistic view and indicate that change for the better is~in order Tn Germany espe- cialy. the depression in business seems to have reached it's limit and this conclusion is confirmed in a large measure by the ap- pearanee of liberal continental buying orders in Liverpool. which have assisted in main taining q steadness in the English market notwithstanding that continued liberal offer ings from the South were complained of as exerting unfavorable effect. On this side a rather steady undertone prevails. The pre- mium established on. contracts over spots has apparently given spot dealers more confidence ip their holdings and there is less eagerness on their part to sell. This fact alone has con trbuted to a better feeling. though the dis position amongst traders of either persuasion is to operate cautiously pending the publlca- tion of the bureau's crop estimate and fuc- tuations are accordingly very narrow.
 Closing quotations are unchanged to 1 point higher than yesterday.
 ion exists regarding the size Of the crop at present. It is. quite easy to locate men long identified in the cotton business who feel con fdent that this yield will not exceed last years, though it is evident that the majority are inclined to expect the total figures to be in the neighborhood of l | 900, GOO bales. Aside from individual opinions, the bureaus estimate will doubtless go far way in set tling crop ideas abroad, and if consistent with the seasons weekly reports. considering that foreign trade is said Co be shaping towards improvement, the effect on prices should be quite beneficial

WALL STREET REVIEW AMALGAMATED COPPER HAD VARIED EXPERIENCE Net Changes for the Day Were Ex- ceedingly Small and Consider ably Mixed, Although Range

NEW YORK Nov e.-Amalgamated Cop

The course of this stock was a pretty accurate index or the general market thr3ushout: The, The days rule and considerably mixed. although the ex- treme range of prices was considerable notable fact in connection with the constantly changing course of prices was the consistency of the movements Some times the course of the market would vary distinctly three times craze range of nearly point. Yet the whole list moved pretty much in union. there being no apparent conflict in the tendency of the prominent active stocks. The opening dealings rehected distinct effort at bull demon being selected for leadership. Amalgamated Copper also supported in the opening dealings. but the weakness which quickly de- market and so with it's subsequent changes. The stock fell by successive stages and very reactions to soE ending at 80. There was an entire lack of news to account Tor the of permission from a court to the Boston and Montana to pay the dividend on that stock un- der bond The withholding of these dividends was officially offered as cause for the re duction of the dividend on Amalgamated Copper. The recovery in the stock was in spite of the sharp break in the price of raw copper in London. following some recent speculative buying in that market. A striking feature of the check to the recent sdyancing tendency a tivity.t Today's transactions were about half million shares less than those of yester- day. The unsettling influence of the April demorslization in Amalgamated Copper was supplemented to a degree by sharp recovery in foreign exchange which awakened some re- re- newed questioning over the resources Of the money market for the remainder of the year. The essened supply of exchange Is doubt less due to the completion of realizing on what might be called speculative. purchases of exchange which have been recently made. But a reaction in sterling exchange in Paris and "a the rise in discount rates and In the price of gold in London indicated the possibility of a resumption of the conditions winch caused the recent outflow of gold. Thursday of this week Is payday in the London Stock Exchange settlement. Next week, on Dec. ,. the final settlement is due on the British loan s16scrip; tion. During December heavy outflow Of cash is expected from the Bank of England to the country and the British Government disbursements is taking measures to sustain the value of money in London in order to guard that market against pressure from the continent. The development of such pres sure therefore, would be reflected inevitably upon New York. as the case recently.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The Commercial-Ad- vertiser's London financial cabiegram says: The stock market today was comparatively inactive, but depressed by the forced selling of mines and by fresh break in English rails.
