IBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee G Col
 NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-Now that the bureau report is out of the way. we can go ahead with some conviction It Is now beyond question that we have deficient crop and nothing but high prices can make production fit the con- sumption. That Is, nothing but excessive prices can bring the actual spinning requirements back to a figure where the crop can fill the holes. As soon the report of e,962 900 came out We sent out the following: Buy for higher prices" We are no longer un- certain about the report for it Is out of the way. We can hardly count on more than 10, . 3Oo.ooo at the outside and this means some thing like IA cents or | 5 cents for the Spring cotton. What is there to prevent high prices since the cotton is not here. The world needs the cotton. You cannot cut down consumption at 10 or l2 cents. It takes all of this to cut it down to Io,5oo, 900 bales. And further cut to lo.2eo. 900 or 10. 10000 will take another turn of the screw. We can see a wild market all the year and fluctuations will be enormous. Cotton should be bought on every break now, though reactions will be in- evitable Of course, one must be more con- servative at i2 cents than at | or 10 cents
 But spinners must have cotton and people have sold futures who will have difficulty in getting tnle.tc, cotton back The market today explains

Sales. 4,525 bales includ- ing g. 325 to arrive. After the full effect of the bureau report had developed in the future mar ket the Cotton Exchange Committee advanced the price of spot cotton cent pound.
 This was one of the widest days ever seen in the future market. The Government bureau crop sent prices up From 52 to 60 points At the opening prices were 3GS points above yes- terdays closing and ductuated mildly until the reading of the report at l 1 o'clock. Then the traders around the ring went wild with excite ment.

 CHICAGO Dec. 3.-A big advance in prices in the Northwest with active coverings by shorts gave strength to wheat today and March closed lH higher. May corn and oats were each up 5 and January provisions closed from 2h to 5c higher.
 Influenced by some bullish domestic news and considerable by buying by commission houses wheat started firm with May a shade to hc higher at soh@sos to eoN. With only small offerings there was quick advance to Si @sIh. Rumors that the big bull interest was an open seller soon caused a slightly easier feeling but the market hrmed up again when 1t was learned that this same interest was buying through brokers. Markets in the North west showed good gains and receipts there were small, which tended to help prices here. During the latter part of the session elevator people were active buyers and shorts covered freely. In response to this demand prives ad- vanced rapidly May selling up to Sl%. There was some reaction late in the day. but the close was strong. with May up Jb at g. %. Clearances of wheat and -four were equal to 3e6,. Primary receipts were l,o96 bush els, against So2.7l2 busfels year ago. Min neapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 300 cars, against 779 a year ago.
 Active covering by shorts caused a strong market in corn. Commission houses were also liberal buyers and the selling was mainly by scalpers Light receipts and small country of ferings were bull factors. After opening hc higher at 42ts May sold between 42$Q42s and 43G43B. closing at 42S. Local receipts were " Fears. with contract.
 Light stocks and continued small receipts with good cash demand caused bullish sentiment among local traders in the oats pit.

H. 6 !. Beers Cotton Letter


 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3.--As Liverpool ad- vices were better than expected, our market opened 60S points higher, but shortly longs realizing before the bureau report caused a de- cline of 99I3. About this time the buRaus crop estimate of g. e62. GOO was issued and 1t confirmed the extreme short crop views pam demonium reigned, as the ring was flooded with buying orders and there were no sellers except longs desirous of taking profits. The continu- ous buying throughout the session occasioned an advance of 94996.from the bottom, making the net gain about 9i points on the day. The bureau estimates the crop at e,962 900 bales, averaging 490.6 pounds net weight. The pick ing or to be picked is estimated at 2S,0l5,- 900 acres, a reduction of 692 900 acres, So-l00 per cent. acreage planted This docu- ment was as extremely bullish as the most sanguine operator in favor of the article ever expected and as the feeling is unusually op- timistic the support was more aggressive than ever before seen. The effect was to also perinduce immense covering bT shorts. which was instrumental in establishing unprece- dented advance during any one day breaking all previous records. Every one Is anxiously awaiting the action of foreign markets and the future attitude of spinners If the move- ment should decrease considerably soon or ir- respective of this feature spots should continue firm with a good demand the general as- sumption that the bureaus figures are approXl- mately correct, then values advance to higher level for the time being there has been a sharp and rapid advance and desire to liquidate and take profits may bring about a recession. Nevertheless. while recognizing the bullish sentiment prevalent we would suggest pur chases only on sharp breaks.

Government Report More Bullish Than Expected and the Total Dealings for the Day the
 Largest Ever Known.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The cotton market opened firm at decline of l point on August to an advance of 5@s points on the other op- tions, following cables that were little better than due, but ruled very quiet and at noon was net 7Qll points lower, prices having sold on under realizing The quiet, however, was the quiet that precedes the storm for promptly at the noon hour the Government crop estimate was read showing probable crop of only g. 962.o3e against commercial crop last year placed at about I0.727,000 bales. This
 port proved even more bullish than had been generally expected and was followed by the widest market ever witnessed in the Exchange. not even excepting the days of the old bull campaign. First prices were at jump of 10 points and following this values were rushed higher and higher with prices only a short half hour after the call representing ad- vance of about S3.25 a trading contract per bale. Thousands of bales changed hands around these figures. Shorts were absolutely tion for the local bull leader, this operator seemed to be bidding up more rapidly. than any one. After passing the Pc mark the market slowed down little. 1t seemed as though the most pressing demand had been filled and profit taking eased prices of II or 20 points. On the decline, however, there was another wild rush of buying the report became more widely circulated and soon prices were again soaring upward. During the balance of the session there was some irregularity. but the market, generally speaking. sensationally strong and the high point was reached just before the close, when December sold at I2 32

The market closed just little down from this level, but strong net 694z4 points higher with sentiment still so far as could be judged very bullish. while in New Orleans the advance was continued and showed greater net gain than did local prices.

probable, but few. if any expected an esti- mate of e.e62.o3S bales to send prices nearly l cent per pound higher than the elevated level that had been previously established. Such was the case. however. and the query is now. will wonders ever cease in the cotton market? If the crop Is no larger than the bureaus estimate prevailing prices are to all intents and purposes justified, and spinners will be confronted with the serious problem of securing an ample supply from an insuf- dcient yield This Is a season without prece- dent The past is of little value to present traders and any attempt to forcteli the future Is more in the nature of waste of effort The movement henceforth will likely be watched with extraordinary attention, and meanwhile 1t would be interesting to know how serious the effect of the bureau report will be abroad.

Virgin & Faunce's Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK, Dec S.-The Government re- port was a bad feature. It came as a great surprise. It was distinctly bullish, estimating the total crop at 9,962, o39 bales, acreage picked 2S.0l4.S60 and the average weight of bales 4eo8 pounds. The total production of lint cotton was figured at 4,6Se, ,7e6. 267 pounds. The acreage reflects a reduction of S.0o per cent since planting. The report as whole was bullish and the sensational rise to above 2 cents was regarded as natural. On the higher levels there was some heavy selling for realizing. hut all cotton coming out was we'll taken and up to the close there was a lot of sensational developments. 'The port re- ceipts for the day figured at 52,0oo bales. against 39, 623 bales last week and 52 24o last year. For the week the port receipts were estimated at 36Q. 900 bales. against 377,- 900 last week and 326,ooo last year. The re- ceipts at Houstdn today were 22, IS5, against 6. .369 last year while at New Orleans the re- eeIpts were I4, los against lS e7O bales.

 NEW YORK Dec. 3.-Cotton opened at an advance of 4GS points. There was no little nervousness on account of the bureau report, which everybody expected to be bullish. Ca bles were quite good and the tenor of the mall reports was generally bullish But few sections were reporting a good prospect and many very poor ones. The short interest was big enough to keep everybody on the anxious seat. cold wave extended over the greater portion of the belt. Spinners were growing restless the points advanced and it is con- Eidered certain that they must enter the mar let at higher prices when 1t will appear that he crop is short one as many has predicted. Prices were unsettled and the market weakened until all the bureau report appeared Cables were 2GS points lower. Port receipts were es- timated at 50.oo0. against 1000 last year. Decided weakness was followed by partial rally from the loss at one time of 10 points from yesterday, and when the bureau figures appeared prices were several points under yes- terday's close. The bureau figures of 9,s62,- o39 led to big buying and prices moved up rapidly.

Widest ENTHUSIASM
Shown by People Over Announcement
Of Pope's Election.

Rome, Aug. 4.-Announcement of
Cardinal Sarto's election was received
with wild enthusiasm on the part OF
thousands of persons who had gathered
outside ST. Peters. The scene within
the basilica when the Pope pronounced
his benediction was one of unparalleled
excitement. Thousands of persons
within the cathedral cheered and waved
their hats. All is now quiet.
While Prince Chigi, the master of the
conclave, was drawing up the official
act of the election and acceptance OF
the newly elected Pope, the latter, sur
rounded by his friends, disappeared in
to a. small room near the altar, where
he donned, with, who can say what
feelings of triumph and. humility, the
white robes of his Office. Plus was
assisted by his conclavist, who first
knelt and kissed his masters hand and
thus received the first apostolic bless
ing given by Plus x.
The new Pope was attired all in wnte
with the exception of red shoes which
was quite regular, but he did not stop
to removed the red cardinals stockings
for the white Papal ones and these
showed as he raised his gown to move
forward. When he was quite rObed the
secretary of the conclave. Mgr. Merry
Del Vat, kneeling, offered him the Papal
white cap amidst breathless silence. He
did not follow the precedent created by
Pope Leo, who declined to give his red
cap to the master of ceremonies as
sign that he would soon be created q

~ ACCEPT"
Were the Words Which Gave Catholic
Church a New Pope.

Rome, Aug. An the members of
the Sacred College declare that they
are well satisfied with the selection of
Cardinal Sarto, but the anti-Rampolla
faction consider it as their special vic
tory. When the first ballot was taken
it showed that the Sacred College was
divided into two groups, the stronger
one for Rampolla and another not
quite so strong for Serafino Vannutelli.
The other votes were scattered, but in
eluded four for Sarto. On the subse
ouent ballots. while the two principal
fashions We're losing ground, Sarto
gradually gained until Monday after
noon, when his vote had increased to
81, within six of the necessary two
thirds When the result of this ballot
was announced in the conclave, Cardi-
Sarto was so overcome with emotion
and so touched that he broke down,
declaring that such responsibility and
honor were not for him and that he
must refuse if offered: Tears rolled
down his cheeks and he seemed firm in
his determination toirefuse the dig
nifty. He was so palpably sincere that
CONSERVATION reigned in the conclave
and the cardinals spent the whole
evening and far into the night in con-
vincing him that his election was the
will of Providence and that he must
accept.
On the final ballot he looked statue
of resignation. Cardinal Casetha, as
scrutineer, was reading out the vote.
When AZ votes had been recorded for
the patriarch of Venice, the scrutineer
lifted his red zuchetto, saying: "Hebe-
mus Pontificem." But from many sides
cardinals cried out continue" AS the
vote approached 50, however, the car
dinals, as of one accord, surrounded
the new Pontiff and according to tradi-
ton demanded to know if he would ac-
cept the Pontificate.
Cardinal Sarto's lips trembled so that
he could not hardly articulate, but af-
ter visible effort he said: IF this
cup cannot pass from me- There he
paused but the cardinals around him
insisted that it was necessary for him
to answer yes" or mo" Thereupon
he replied firmly: Il accept"
Cardinal Gibbons, speaking to Il rep
resentative of The Associated Press,
said that the election of Cardinal Sarto
the entire Sacred College. being a man
of such piety, tact and culture that he
was hest fitted to be the head of the
church at the present time.
| There is much speculation regarding
| the political attitude of the new Pope,
| inasmuch as he has not participated
| in the general affairs of the church
during his career. The general opin-
| ion, however, is that he will make no
change in the relations between the
Vatican and the Quirinal. Plus X ad-
| mires the progress of Catholicism and
considers the United States most fer
| tile field for religion.
