DEALINGS LEFT IN HANDS OF SMALL TRADERS.

 Flood of Realizing.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Prices were both above and below last nights level fin today's market. The trading which has been strictly profess sional for several days, was In the hands of the smaller class of traders and their opera tions showed increased hesitation and uncer- tainty. There were occasional attempts on the part of the speculative pools to put up prices, but any considerable advance met realizing sales of a sufficient volume to cheek the rise. The pressure to sell was not at all urgent and showed a prompt relaxation at the lower level of prices. where supporting orders also were ing of the of prices within narrow range. There were no special features to the trading. although the recent Speculative fa- were the local fractions, St. Paul. Louisville. the Pacifcs and New York Central and sev- eral of the coalers. The movement in these ing upward downward whenever any one stock took the initiative. An advance in the sugar from the general movement in the list. Renewed weakness in the silver market and a reaction in the London copper market from yesterdays sharp advance reflected in American Smelling and Amalgamated Copper. The chief repressive influence on the specula- tfon was the tightening course Of the money at less than per cent. at the opening. The rate subsequently, declined as low as 6 per cent. during the active period of the day and to below that before the close. Time money was distinctly flrmer, 6 per cent. being quoted mission demanded for the shorter period which made the rate equivalent to per cent. New fcfk institutions were entirely out or the mar ket for mercantile paper and even the prime grades brought per cent.

The sub-treas- ury continues to draw on the New York money market, the loss since Friday on that account having reached s3.456. 900. There was depos- ited at the sub-treasury today S2o0 900 for transfer to New Orleans. Chicago exchange, however, remains at par The trading element showed it's disappointment that the Presidents message had failed to stimulate speculation and with the additional Encouragement of the high money rate, there progressive de- crease in the activity of the market.

 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3.-The bureaus timate of Io.4J7. 900 hales as the growth of the crop of 1902 o3 has been duly recorded and its impression upon the market was mod crate and for the most part of temporary character To the estimate of the growth 0o,4l7 00ol the bureaus statstcian states that I54,5e2 bales must be added left over from last year in addition to POO 900 of crop of. eo3-o4 before Sept Ist. 9o3, less le8, loo bales marketed before Sept. lst 1902. By this system the commercial cot ton crop Is arrived at. Liverpool anticipated the government figures with remarkable ac- curacy. Early cables reported an advance of points in spots with sales of 10000 and deliveries were higher by points, but a steady decline Immediately set In and deliveries closed 3Q4 points lower than yesterday. Selling op- erations were conspicuous here during the early trading and lower range. of prices conse- quently prevailed. The bureaus estimate sent quotations off with rush, but at cents for March other months in proportion, stout demand appeared which checked the decline and subsequently established a complete re- covery of the, loss sustained through the Gov ernments figures. Now that the bureau is moved from the speculative field the trade will of supply and demand which in the end must determine the level of price regardless of passing developments. Thus the extent of re- ceipts and the nature of demand for spots will doubtless begin to exercise a dominating influence in the market. During the past few days wet and stormy weather has prevailed throughout the entire belt, and and sleet now seem to be on the program for numer. ods sections.

 Was Cversold.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The cotton market after opening 4 points higher to 3 points lower became unusually unsettled and de- cidedly weak. Long cotton came out freely and selling for short accounts was also an active feature. This in the face of ca bles, which, on the opening advices, were expected to make advance of points in our market. But it was alleged that there had been leakage to the Governments re- port of the cotton crop. This report caused heavy selling and the days transactions were exceptionally large. At the weakest interval the decline matter of lsq24 points; this after the announcement of the bu reau crop estimate of l04i70oo bales. II was argued from this that the commercial crop In official showing could not be less than 10. 700. 900 bales The immediate effect of the report was break of 5@6 points within five minutes after it's announcement. Then the market rallied quite sharply.It appeared from the incoming reports from the spot markets of the country that they were not responsive to the speculative decline. On the apprehen- sion that the market had been oversold there an active covering movement. and com mission houses also heavy buyers. The market rallied sharply and closed steady, with the net loss reduced to 7Ql points. Total sales of futures, 45o, 900 bales.

Dec. 3.-The spot cotton market was very quiet today After the Gov ernment bureau report had been issued prices in sympathy with the break in contract values showed a slight tendency to ease of. but there was no well established decline. Sales. 2, 500 bales including 900 to arrive. Quotations un- changed.
 The future market opened 3d5 points down. Then came decline of 566 points in Liver pool with reports of heavy selling by specula tors in that market. Nervous longs here dumped their loads overheard, causing declines of 546 points. Then followed series of rapid fluctuations covering range of 346 points. When the bureau report was read prices again broke. but the market had been pretty well cleared for action in advance of to get in one side the other at the newly established level and there was a perfect storm of trading. The bulls evidently were the more eager and under hurricane of bids prices worked up rapidly until a good part of the previous break had been made good, the market at the close showing net losses of 6q7 points.

 NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-It was natural that pending the receipt of the bureau figures that the market should show irregularity and nerv- ousness in the early dealings. While the near positions improved 244 points other months lost 264 points.

But independent of the question of the size Of the crop it Is felt that present prices moderate and the difficulty of securing spot cotton at the South is making people believe that they have been over-es- timating the size of the crop. Big buying at Liverpool helped that market. Freezing wealth. prevailed in the South with more or less rain in the Atlantic and Gulf States. Port receipts were estimated at 58 oo0 against 5000. Cables points higher. The bureau figures indicating crop of 70. 900 bales led to heavy selling. although the best sentiment that the Government report would prove nearer correct than ever before and that even if half million short the figures pointed to a very moderate crop
