very best facilities for the handling

Or PORTION of the South yesterday
and the day before, the forecast for
showers or rain issued to-day was not
very encouraging to the bear element,
who have been loudly claiming that
killing frost would prove of great ad-
vantage if followed by fair weather.
Cables to-day were satisfactory since
they showed a slight gain in the face
of determined efforts of local bears to
elevate an adverse sentiment at Liver
pool as regards the top crop that ques-
ton is now settled in the minds of
best people, nevertheless extreme bears
are reluctant to admit this, and are
hanging on the vast amount of cotton
yet to be marketed. The weekly re-
ports of the various trade journals were
of no special significance. People are
waiting for the bureau report of next
week which is expected to be as bulilsh
as the report of Dec. 8 last year. Cot
ton possesses decided merit at the pres
ent time and the fact will soon be
recognized since there is nothing what
ever to indicate that the yield will
prove a big one while it may prove
quite inadequate, prices opened with a
slight easier tone for the distant
months. The market showed little ami
nation but developed strength as the
day advanced. A small estimate for
Houston impaired strength. Receipts
estimated 10000 against $4,000 last year.

the heaviness Of the opening trading.
Commission houses with Washington
connections circulated alleged YER
batim extracts from the Presidents
forthcoming message of a much mild
er tone on the subject of trusts than
some OF the recent alleged forecasts
circulated by bear traders, but the
market failed to develop animation,
owing to a general desire TO see the
bank statement before making COM
mitments. There was a spilling out
OF stocks when the statement appear
ed, but supporting orders were met
and the market rallied and closed

than anticipated from the known
movements OF money. but the Increase
In loans was the disgusting feature.

recent bad weather, which many be-
heVe has also fixed the limit of top
crop growth, leaving the climatic con-
ditions to bear only upon the question

soon after the call, which was helped
by advices of firm spot markets in the
