H. & b. Deer Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Dec. 4.-Nothwith-
standing early Liverpool advices were
not encouraging our market opened s
higher on reports of snow in Northern
Texas and the Valley states and i'm
proved to on the later improve
ment there, subsequently advices were
received from Texas, but weather was
clear and cold and the prediction was
that 1t would be generally fair and
warmer In that state during the next
thirty-Six hours. This and the apa-
thetic demand for spots occasioned a
break of to s from the top, making
the net gain only 1 to 2 points on the
day.
Referring to the bureaus indicated
crop estimate of 10000, 600 bales the
fact that the statistician's calculation
is predicted on a net average weight
of 1907 pounds per bale has been over
looked by the trade. Last year he es-
timated the net average weight at
46S5 pounds per bale, or twelve pounds
less than the actual net average weight
which is 4S0, pounds and this year he
over estimates 1t about eleven pounds
Consequently taking the figures given
by him and working them out on the
actual average weight of 480 pounds
per bale, it makes an addition of 2S2,-
900 bales, or an indicated crop of TO-
$4,000, according to the bureau. This
is an important feature ABOUT the re-
port. The amount to be brought into
sight this week looks like it will ag-
gregate about 400, 900, against All, 900
last year, or 1900 pounds. The visible
supply and interior movement will also
be bullish yet the recent sharp advance
was on the anticipation of bullish
weekly statistics and the chances are
the movement will continue light I'M
til the car famine existing throughout
the South is relieved. Every one knows
there are heavy accumulations of cot
ton in the interior awaiting shipment,
and the light receipts are no indication
of the size of the crop, with a suf-
ficiency of cars we are informed the
movement would be heavy. Sentiment
continues bullish, but unless spinners
soon become active buyers Of spots 1t
is doubtful whether present values
can be sustained. The Newburger
Cotton Company of Grenada, Miss,
late this afternoon passed an estimate
of 11,775, 900 bales for this years growth

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter

New York, Dec. 4.-Our market
opened with sales of January at
$3.50 and after selling at S.33 ruled at
$50 at / p. m. The markets have rail-
lied to-day on professional covering on
the bad weather throughout the South
which is expected to curtail the move
ment during the next week. So far
the only effect of the bureau report
has been to check the outside specula-
ton which has been so active on the
bull side during the past four months
on the theory of a short crop. Cotton
people read the bureau report as from
10, 623, 900 to 1888, 900 bales because they
give the net weight of the bales as
400 pounds when the average net
weight is 4S0 pounds. 1t will take
some time for the trade to adjust it,
self to a belief that the bureau report
is the largest ever issued by the de-
partment. No bearish feeling has been
created by the report as yet as the
movement is too light for any agrees
sive selling. The trade advices from
China could hardly be of more de-
moralzing character, and may check
the consumption of cotton. A steady
liquidation of long cotton closed the
market at its lowest point Traders
are afraid of the light movement, due
to bad weather and will not sell shorts.
The spot market was quiet and steady
and UNCHANGED.

Thursday, Dec. 4.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 501ac, sales 465, and
closed firm at 50Ac, sales 2S9.
Throughout the day buyers were in
differnt, and appeared to operate on
the theory that prices were to seek a
lower level unless the demand was
given a stimulus from some quarter.
Judging from the feeling after the
close this was improbable. The I'M
dertone of the market was distinctly
easy with buyers bidding SOC. Re-
ceipts to-day, 1853, exports 80.
ROSINS-The market opened firm
and unchanged, with sales at the open
ing call of 1872. For some time the
rosin market has ruled firm as to all
grades and prices have been maintain
ed at their present level with the Of
ferings each day we'll taken. All
grades appear to be in fair demand

The cotton markets were Influenced
to-day by an Indifferent feeling, which
yras attributed by many to the time
Graders are taking for a mature diges-
tion of the government crop figures.
Activity was not apparent in any
ouarter, and while the price range was
rather wide, it was not due to the de-
velopment of any very material news
Liverpool came one higher and on this
and. a move to cover, the New York
market worked to above last nights
prices, but later eased off, closing at
a gain of / to points.
A deadlock has been produced be-
tween buyers and sellers as a result
of the developments of the past few

they claim pointed to crop of IL .0OO,-
900 bales or over. Holders are stub
born in their views, however, and will
not make concessions, owing to their
conviction that even if the crop
claims of consumers are true, con-
sumption will be large and will fully
offset the effects of this production
The interior declined to offer cotton
freely through the port brokers on the
basis buyers were bidding, which was
S-16c for good middling during the
early hours. Later they bid 1-16c
higher, when a moderate business was
done, though it was apparent higher
prices would have come to uncover a
very large amount Of cotton. The
movement at the moment is draw
back to the bulls. The ports received
81, 24O to-day, against 1854 last year,
and 46, ia year before last.
Naval stores were at antipodes, with
turpentine tending easy and resins firm
and unchanged. After the close reports
were that SOC was being bid for spir-
