Opened Steady at a Decline of
Two Points

There Is Little Disposition to Sell for

BETTER CABLES RECEIVED

New York. November 2s.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
points to an advance of point, cables
showing up In better shape than had been
expected, In view of the weakness shown
by out market yesterday. Private cables
indicated uneasiness in Europe as to the
showing to be made by the crop report
of the agricultural department next
Wednesday. Business was very slack at
New York this morning and the profess
sional traders started in to raid the mar
ket, but the changed front again on in
dications of light receipts, Houston esti-
mating 1000 to 5000 bales for Monday.
against 1857 last week held them back.
The bears claimed that the light receipts
were due to bad weather. and a scarcity
of motive power. There Is, however. at
present, little disposition to sell for short
account in view of the recent bad wealth
er, which many believe has also fixed the
limit of top crop growth. leaving the
climatic conditions to bear only upon the
question of picking work, and the flow
of receipts. There was a four-point rally
soon after the call, which was helped by
advices of firm spot markets in the south
and indications that the local market
was having support in the way Of demand
from spot houses for the nearer posi-
lions.

New York, November 29.-It was again
a very narrow market. Liverpool sent
about the same prices and our prices
ranged within a 4-point limit. The limit
was secondary to news. The feature of
the day was a Liverpool cable on the
guess of that exchange. The figures are
placed at 11,167000 bales or 100000 bales
more than this exchange. This is about
as expected since the foreign estimate is
generally over ours. The real significance
of the figures lies in the fact that the
cotton world appears to be looking for
II ,OO0,0 900 bales. In this event there should
be a bureau Of 10.50O,000. A bureau of 10, :
500. 900 would mean a decline in prices
and this is all there Is in It, Uncertainty
over the bureau will help the market
and light receipts bring more support.
But as long as eleven million is the popu-
lar estimate and as long as silver con-
tinues its decline and finances fail to
rebound there is not likely to be a bull
market in cotton. The best informed
look for narrow market for some days.
