TRADE AND FINANCE
COTTON MARKETS CLOSE SOME
LOWER ON LIBERAL RECEIPTS.
BIG CLEARANCES FOR EXPORT.
TURPENTINE FIRM AND IN GOOD
DEMAND AT THE OFFICIAL BASIS.

The Market Pretty Well Cleaned Up
at 51c-ROsins Firm and in De-
mand at the OmciaI Figures.
Wholesalers Have Filled About All
Orders for Holiday SuppHes-LO-
cal and TeIegraphic Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Nov. 20.
The cotton markets closed some low
er to-day on better receipts at the
ports, and less eagerness on the part
of exporters to buy. New York closed
lower, while New Orleans was also off,
losing some to points on the day.
At neither market were there any very
material developments. Export clear
ances at all ports were large, owing
to the fact 1t was the last day of the
month, and ships for November load
ing had to be cleared. Savannah
cleared vessels with cargoes of cotton,
aggregating 1914 commercial bales.
The naval stores market closed firm,
with the demand for both spirits and
resins good. Turpentine ruled firm
throughout the day, at the official price
of sic. at which the market was I'M
derstood to be pretty we'll cleaned up
at the early closing at 2 p. m. Resins
were also in good demand, and the
days business was generally regarded
as satisfactory.
Little is doing in the jobbing mar
kets at the moment. Orders for holi-
day goods have long since been re-
ceived, and filled, and now the trade
are looking forward to spring. COL
fav
Savannahs wholesalers, but there is an
inclination to pay slowly now, posi-
bly, in anticipation of Christmas. Re-
sumo of the markets is as follows:

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET

New Orleans, Nov. 29-In the spot
cotton market the offerings to-day were
better than yesterday and prices were
a shade easier. Quotations unchanged
In the future market there was not
much doing and most of the transac-
lions were made in the January and
My positions. The first call figures
were down to 5 points and thereafter
values worked back and forth over a
range of to points either way, but
without any very definite tendency I'M
til the closing hour arrived, when the
comparison with yesterdays range
showed net losses of but 2 to points.

H. & ID. Beer Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New Orleans Nov. 29.-LiverpooI adj
vices were slightly better than looked
for, but our market, nevertheless, OPEN
ed 4 to lower on numerous advices
from the interior, stating that the re-
cent frost was beneficial, and that the
top crop was opening in Texas and all
other states. The light Houston and
Galveston estimates for Monday, short
~ after occasioned an Improvement of
to from the bottom. but this was
only temporary because the easiness of
spots and the prevalence of generally
fair weather throughout the belt
caused another decline, making the net
loss to points on the day.
Operators are averse to taking any
decided stand on the market, pending
the issuance of the bureaus estimate
on Dec. 3. as 1t is conceded by every
one that 1T will be sensationally small
predicated on the former figures issued
by this department. On Oct. 8 the
general average condition given by the
bureau was 5S.3 per cent, against 61.4
last year. Consequently If on a con-
dltion OF 61.4 per cent, and practically
the same average the bureau on Dec.
last year, made an estimate of $780,
600 on condition of 5S.S, this year it
ought to be per cent. less, indicating
an estimate of 100000.
therefore, IL VIII De seen from the
data previously given by the bureau,
why the trade believe their estimate
will be very small. The general opin-
ion is that the estimate will be under
100000. If the bureaus estimate of
last year is calculated on the net
weights of 46S is pounds per bale, as
given by them, and compared to the
actual weights their estimate was g.
100000 or 100000 less than the actual
outturn.
The sharp decline in silver is super
much uneasiness, as it re-
duces the demand for textile goods to
a minimum from China and all coun-
tries on a silver basis.

Hubbard Bros. 81 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York. Nov. 29.-Our market
opened with sales Of January at s. S9c,
and after selling at S.27c, ruled at S.2Sc
at IL a. m. A very quiet market
awaiting further advances from Texas,
giving the result of the frost in that
state, and for further light upon the
movement. 1t is also under the in
fluence of the expected bureau report,
and nearly every operator is reducing
his interest to a minimum pending its
publication. The surprise of last year
was so great that few dare to take
any risk this season. In the first IL
000,000-bale crop the acreage outside of
Texas was 10000, 700 acres, bringing
into sight 100000 bales. The census
acreage is 19,9O0,000 bales for 1901. What
is will produce Is still unknown. New
Orleans market closes relatively lower
than ours. Dispatches from Texas are
contradictory, but many anticipate the
bolls will open freely. The spot mar
ket was quiet and unchanged.
