5SO. Amount estimated to be taken from
now out as compared to actual taklngs
last year: 1901, 4,121; 1900, 1852. So on this
basis the spinners would have to take 169,.
900 more from now out than last year
Notwithstanding reduced consumption as
per all authorities to make the visible
Only 2oO,OOO even if crop were only $4,000
but as there is a probability of the crop
reaching 100000 or more this would give
the spinners a supply of $500 more than
last year for the balance of the season.
and yet it is conceded by ALL authorities
that the consumption of American will
average 10000 bales less per week. The al
lowance of only 10000 is very couserva>
tive when il is considered that the TAX
ings of American to date are $1,000 less
than last year or an average of 80, 200 less

The market will be ruled by receipts and

The Savannah morning news., 1901-03-10

New York, March 9.-Mr. Neills reit-
Grafton Of 9,750,0O0 bales was published to-
day and furnished the explanation for the
rapid advance of yesterday afternoon
1t caused our market to open 10 points
higher, but Immediately sharp realizing
set in and the market gradually declined
closing at the lowest of the day.
The movement at the interior towns to-
day is too heavy as compared with last
season to cause the trade to put much re-
lance upon Mr.. Neils small crop esti-
mate, as they remember in this connec-
ton, his continued adherence to his large
crop estimate of last season. This reac-
ton has practically eliminated the local
short interest, and we are again con-
fronted with the absence of demand for
cotton except at very low prices, and the
disposition of speculation to enter into a
bull campaign in face of the receipts at
the interior towns. The local trade are
not disposed to anticipate any further
severe break and this keeps the short
interest within a narrow compass. Ex-
porters report their offers in Europe were
accepted last night, and their bids in the
South were accepted to-day. so that they
look for an increase in the movement
during the coming week.
