O. E. Pierce & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

tBy Private Wire From Gilbert Clay.1
 NEW ORLEANS Nov. 4.-Elison's estimate Issued today, that the consumption of American cotton would be TO- 300. 900 bales this season startled the fraternity all over the world Liverpool started the day with a decided ad- vance when a decline generally looked for Opening prices in this market recarded an ad- vance of about 22 points. All figures con- cerning the movement cast aside and every one bought and for a time the market ran wild with trading a gigantic scale. The situation. however. remains unchanged, crop accounts bad and MT. Ellison's esti- mate will not increase the consumption of cot ton one single pound and merely to bring forcibly home to the trade the critical supply and demand situation. We have all along contended that the problem depended on the consumption, convinced that the yield will not be more than moderate. As concerns the price for the immediate future. much will undoubtedly depend upon the No vember receipts. which promise heavy. We do not believe however. that the price can be forced much below 10 cents and look for the market to 1uctuate around that figure. Violent price changes will be more the rule than the exception and the wise speculator will prepare himself for the contingency We continue to believe in buying on periods of undue depres- sion with the idea of realizing on strong mar

IBy Private Wire From c. w. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK, Nov. At now begins to look as if the cotton world was face to face with a disaster. It will require adjective to de- scribe the turmoil which will result from a yield below the trade requirements In Liver pool today Ellison estimates requirements at lo,SSo 900 bales. At the same time D. J. eu1fy & Co. estimate the crop at about lO,- 25o. 900. The majority talk of a crop of less than last year and some believe the yield will prove rather below than more than Io,- 600so0o There was demoralized market as Q result of these estimates. For awhile 1t looked as though prices would never stop go- ing up. The trade became demoralized over the outlook and much cotton was taken that the amount left for sale small A lot of profit taking was the feature Monday and this left little to be sold today except at big advance Reports from the South indicate that the big movement will keep up for some days and the November figures likely to be sur prisingly large. But Europe is taking all the cotton at l0h they can get and this leaves little for the American spinner. Some of the big men are still pulling cotton and would buy on any break. Fluctuations likely to De extreme.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES

 THE DAY.
Good Gains at the Opening and Only Brief Reactions Occurred Dur ing the Session-26 to 35
 Points Up at Close.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4lThe cotton market opened strong at advance of II6I7 points on active and excited covering and aggressive bull support. During the entire session it ruled nrm with only very narrow and brief reactions. closing firm within or points of the top. or at a net advance of 26G35 points on the active months The hrmness was caused vate advices stating that a Liverpool authority Mr. Ellison had estimated the worlds require ments Of American cotton for this season at tO,ST7,OOO bales The very bullish crop esti- mate was circulated by a prominent local bull concern. pointing to a yield of something like o,6Oo. 900 bales as compiled from he reports Of i,Z76 Southern correspondents to 1local son of supply and consumption thus furnished the far Eastern situation was considered more favorable and 1t was reported that spinners were being stimulated to buy more freely by the recent builish crop talk. Private advices indicated continued firmness in the Southern spot markets and while the movement con tinued heavy and the weather aside from rains in some sections good, there seemed little dis position at any time during the day to sell short. Many were apparently expecting a re- action. but this seemed to lead to nothing more important than profit taking for the account of scattering long interests, while the recognized bull leader was a heavy buyer of January and March and the South bought the later positions. December sold at TO- 68 at the best point while January touched lo.6l March lo65 May lo66 and July io.67, these being new high record prices for the present bull movement this season. and the life of the present options. Sales for the day estimated at 700. 900 bales. Port receipts were 3.00l bales for the day, against 53,065 last year, and the esti- mates for tomorrow's leading points averaged heavy.

Private ad- vices from Liverpool said that the advance in that market. which was from 10 to I2 points in spots and l4Ql5 points on futures was caused by heavy buying orders from both Egypt and America In the local market the trading was unusually heavy and near the noon call there was a slight decline which resulted from liquidation but the market closed very firm, the net gains being from 36 to 37 points

t6pecial to The Advsrtiser.l
 NEW ORLEANS. Nov 4.-Liverpool was in haenced favorably by the issuance of a buiIish circular on consumption by Mir. Ellison Our market in sympathy opened 22d2e higher and shortly after improved los points additional on fresh buying. Realizing later occasioned ueciine or 6@7 points, but when it became known that there was good demand for spots at hqo- i6c higher. an advance of l4aIS from the bottom was quickly established Near the cIose iongs taking profits superinduced a slight recession, making the net gain 34a,36 points on the day. Mir. Ellison estimates" the con sumption of American at IoS77 GOO and inc other kinds Ne places at 26o, GOO or A total or IS, iSI,OoO Of all kinds He does not think however. that i2.77o, 900 of all kinds will he consumed on the basis of present prices In other words his opinion is that yal,,es nreva lent now will cause curtailment of 3S7 900 m ms maxipum figures. and the assumptiou IS that 1t will be deducted from the American figures of io,s17.oo making his minimum Therefore. with the high level of prices exist ing 1t Is inferred that he estimates the Ameri- can consumption not over o. 4eO GOO. Never theiess the document on tn ewhole Is construed oulIisnly; cables from Liverpool also say that mere IS better feeling in the market and that Mahcnester advtces are more cheerful as busi- ness is improving. The I3 leading interior towns during the half week received I43 GOO aganst IS ,ooo last year. and show a gain or Z9.OO9 in stock against an increase of only lo.o 900 last year. The port receipts for the five days aggregate 2ol GOO against 235 GOO last year. From the above 1t will be seen that the movement is heavy and that stocks are acumulating a premium of 20 points over spots, proving that the recent advance is due more to speculation that ;the actual strength of the raw article. Under these conditions a re- action may take place and should be expected momentarily. Nevertheless. the under-current is good. and on any decided break fresh buying will probably take hold with a view of main taining values

A. B. Baxter q Co.'S Cotton Letter.

.I
 NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The cotton market opened l5Gf6 points higher. There were no special developments over the holiday but the cables were rather bulish. Bull confidence was rising because of a very heavy estimate of consumption issued by a recognized English expert. His figures indicated something con siderably more than last years crop as the required figures necessary to meet consumption and there was general buying in consequence Shorts covered. Crop news was of no special account beyond the fact that marketing has been pretty free, and that there is no remark able holding back account of the indica- tions of a short crop; in fact a rule, cotton has been sent to market very free, and, if any thing. more so than usual. Within ten minutes after the opening. prices were 2od23 points higher on active trading. Sellers were holding back and bullish sentiment seemed to be in creasing. New Orleans was taking a very bullish view of the situation and some people there could not see bigger crop than to.- oOo, 900 as possible Cables were firm 90 2 points advance from Monday. Yarns were frmer in Manchester and the demand for cloths moderate. Receipts for two days were esti- mated at l49 1000, against l27,ooo.

 TRv prtva@. f.a.>A xxy,.. ..


 NEW YORK, Nov. 4.--The local market for cotton futures opened firm in tone today with first prices at a nadvance of IIGIS- points The trade was active and there was a great deal of excitement. The shorts were extremely nervous early fin the day and they bought on heavy scale and consequently the inference was drawn that the short interest had again been considerably reduced. There was also a noticeable degree of bull support as the day wore on. and such operations merely increased the nervousness of the bears and the shorts The bulishness was in large measure due to the estimate of Liverpool authority (Elli- son) placing the worlds requirements of Ameri- can cotton for the season at 10 977 900 bales of 300 pounds each. This estimate was figured to be all the more bullish since there was an increasing tendency among traders to modify their, guesses regarding the extent of the crop which is now being gathered and at the pres ent time there are comparatively few who hgure that the crop will be more than TO- 75o, 900 bales. At the higher prices in the lat ter part of the day there was natural proht taking by bulls, but. generally up to the last there was a strong undertone Estimated port receipts for the day were figured at 5o- 900, against 53.o.~ for the same day last year.
