New Orleans. La. Dec 3.-NotWith-
standing early Liverpool advices were
better than looked for, our market open
ed 2 to A points lower and subsequently
declined six points additional on the
later weakness there, coupled to rumors
that the bureau would be larger than
generally expected. When the estimate
was given out officially it occasioned all
additional break of points, as it was
much larger than anticipated. However,
about this time those who were, heaVy
sellers previously on this theory bought
freely to cover, causing an advance OF
10 to II points from the bottom, making
the net loss to points on the day.
While the bureaus estimate was 1O,4l7,-
coo the additional figures given point TO
1O.771 900 less 1873, coo or a crop of about
10. 500 600 From the yield of lint per
acre and the acreage furnished by the
bureau, a crop of about 100000 is indl-
Gated from the State of Texas and the
Indian Territory, and for the latter
100000 is indicated. less the deduction
allowed by the statistician, pointing 10 a
crop of about 10,600 900. The net weights
of bales are placed at 1901 pounds this
year as compared to 1852 pounds last
year or an excess of p points over the
estimate of last year. This crop esti-
mate given by the bureau is the largest
ever issued by that department, and as
they have always underestimate the
outturn it will have tendency to con-
firm large crop estimates.
Reports of rain and sleet also in the
extreme northern portion of Texas. oc-
casoned fresh buying on the hypothesis
that the movement from that State =" gu q
continue light indefinitely. European
spinners have been pursuing a hand TO
mouth policy from the beginning OF the
season, and the chances are that they
may restrict their takings more so since
the recent sharp decline in silver, which
has cut off the buying power from emma
and all other countries on silver basis
Sentiment is very bullish, but the flu
lure course of values Will be regr-
lated ultimately by the action of spin
rers. Fl. e B. BEER.

New York. Dec. 3.-The cotton mark
ct after opening four points higher to
three lower became unsettled and de-
cidedly weak. Long cotton came out
freely and selling for short accounts was
also an active feature. This was in the
cables which, on the opening advices.
were expected to make an advance of
hye points in our market. But it was
alleged that there had been leakage as
to the governments report of the cotton
crop This report caused heavy selling
and the days transactions were ex-
ceptlonally large. At the weakest inter-
val the decline was a matter of Is to "a
points; this was after the announce
ment of the Bureau crop estimate of
lO,4lI.0O0 bales. 1t was argued from this
that the commercial crop In official
showing could not be less than 10, 700 600
bales. The immediate effect of the re-
port was break of five to six points
within five minutes after it's announce
ment. Then the market rallied quite
sharply. 1t appeared from the incoming
reports from the spot markets of the
country that they were not responding to
the speculative decline. On the appre-
hension that the market had been over
sold there was an active covering move
ment and commission houses were also
heavy buyers. The market rallied sharp
ly, closing steady with the net loss re-
duced to seven points. Total sales, fu-
lures 100000 bales.

Especial to News and Observer
New York, Dec. 3.-The feature of the
market today was the Washington report
read at noon. Before it appeared, many
began to sell cotton, so that March broke
to S.12 before the report was read. The
figures as given out are 10ff7,0 600 bales,
with an average net weight OF 1905
pounds. The market quickly broke % sos
for March and May, and rallied sharply
in few minutes nearly 10 points, being
very nervous and fiuctuating rapidly.
Later in the day on heavy covering by
shorts. and bad weather throughout tho
belt, the market closed firm at al adj
vance from the low figures OF about 10
points.
Legitimate influences will be the factor
from now on and the weather and re-
ceipts will be watched carefully.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Dec. 3.-The spot cotton
market was very quiet today. Quota
tions unchanged.
Future market opened three to five
points down. Then came decline of
five to six points in Liverpool with re-
rorts of heavy selling by spectators in
that market. Nervous longs dumped
their loads overheard, causing declines of
five to six points. When the bureau re-
port was read. prices again broke, but
the market had been pretty we'll cleared
for action in advance of the report, and
everybody apparently wants to get in one
side or the other at the newly estab-
lshed level. and there was a perfect
storm of trading. The bulls evidently
were the more eager. and under a hur-
ricane of bids prices worked zip rapidly
until good part of the previous break
had been made good. the market at the
