c. W. Lee & Co.'S Letter to H. D. Goth
ran & Co.
New York December 3.-The govern
ment report has been received and Is out
of the way. Now we Will go along more
naturally than for some time past and
prices will depend more on everyday fac
tors If receipts are light for one reason
or another the market will be steady. II
receipts grow heavy the price will sag.
At present there is not enough cotton
coming In to allow much of q break. This
must not be forgotten in planning the
future of the cotton market. The report
today was a distinct surprise to the ma
jority. 1t was SO easy to prove that, the
figures could not possibly be over 1020O,O00
that 1t seemed suspieiously easy to guess
10, 200, 000 As some expected, the report
proved over 10, 100000. This for the yield.
In addition to the yield, the current crop
viii be made up of 10000 bales left over
and 900 samples. etc, or something like
106o0,000 as the possible crop. These fig
ures arc rather bearish as we regard
them Never before has the department
issued such large figures. and the cotton
trade Of the world Is likely to be infiu-
enced by this showing The figures indi-
cate a II 900, 000-bal crop. We regard 81
to s1ac as a good price with this outlook,
and we should most certainly take ad-
vantage of every advance to sell long
cotton.
For while this car shortage Is likely
to mean small receipts, and with some
short In December and January prices
could advance On crop of Il, 900 900
bales there will be nothing to bring about
much of a bull market above SIC but
until the crop is proved in excess of that
figure there will hardly be much of a
break below SC. We would not buy save
on good breaks

LOCAL MARKETS.

There was no change in the local cotton
market yesterday. The wagon receipts
were 1876 bales.
The local stock and bond market was
quiet and practically without change.
In the produce market there is some
complaint of Florida oranges. Although
the stock is below the standard 1t is
bringing good prices, being quoted at
from $3.50 to $500 a box. Danish cab
bage is plentiful at 50 cents a hundred.
Fancy King apples, which are quoted at
$500 a barrel are rather scarce and 1t is
expected they will advance to $500 before
Christmas. Sweet potatoes advanced to
$1.00 a bushel.

WHERE DWARFs ARE MADE.
Children in Madras stunted and Dis torted for the, Purpose of Put
 ting Them Out to Eeg.

.
 Some interest has of late been aroused in Madras by the exhibition of. two dwarfs who are alleged to be over 30 years Of age, and are brother and sister. These beings are not only small but distorted. It is believed that dwarfs are ssmanufactured'' in Indian. There is practice extant in the Punjab of elongating infants heads so as to render them tut of all proportion to the body. The effect of compression on the brain renders the victims idiotic, says the London Ex- press.
 They are sent around to beg, and in their peregrinat visit the Madras and Bombay presidencies. An instinct akin to that of an animal. however, still lives in the distorted beings, and invariably brings them back to their masters. They are known as Shah Shuja's mice,'' from the name of the temple where they are manufactured. The children, it is stated, are vowed to | the temple by fanatical women.
