 NEW ORLEANS Nov. 2l.-The bearish weekly statistics influenced Liverpool unfavor- ably and our market in sympathy opened 10 2 points lower. Notwithstanding all adverse factors against the article fresh buying shortly after came in and was continuous throughout the session. being predicted on the moderate estimates for New Orleans and Galveston re- ceipts Monday and the report that a large New York firm who generally issues a crop estimate about this time were heavy buyers. The inference was that their estimate would be bullish. These various features were instru- mental in advancing values 7G6 points from the bottom. making the net gain 5Q6 points on the day The total visible supply of all kinds during the week increased 2S7. 900, American uai-E increased a7s. 900. against lss- 900. The total visible supply of all kinds is 3.

Dur ing the past week the spinners of the world took 2s2, 900 of American, against 292. 900 last year and their total takings from Sept. lst to date have been 2. 37, 900. against g. 553, 900 last year. or 4 5000 less. The to- tai consumption of American cotton last year was Io.s5o, 900; therefore on the basis of spin ners' takings it points to about lo,4oo 900 for the present season. The amount brought into sight to date is 24o,ooo under last year and as the crcn last season was lo,729, o00 the outturn indicated on the face Of the movement this year is io499, 900. The total visible sup ply of American is now S6, 900 under last year. Summing up the statistical situation find the indicated consumption of American Is about lo,4oo. 900, the indicated crop about O. SOC, 900 and that the visible supply of American is only S6. 900 under last year yet the growing weakness of the statistical position prices are about cents a pound higher than they were for the core spending period last year As against these facts theories predominate and influence values on the expectation that the yield will be around | c.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2I-There was a com paratively quiet market for cotton futures to- day, but there was considerable mixture of opinion with regard to the probable future course of the market and naturally there was quite a lot of holding off by bull and bear alike. The cables generally were about ex- pected. The statistics were the subject of bearish comment in that the movement was considered quite liberal, the in sight for the past week amounting to 575, 800 bales total much greater than looked for by many so- called well informed cotton factions The Southern advices today regarding the move ment were rather bearish, in that the esti- mates for all of the ensuing week were gen. erally quite liberal. The bull element bought little cotton the lower levels, but gener- ally the operations for this element were of less bold type. and hence 1t was generally ar gued that the bull interests were unloading on the better levels, that they were satisfied that the present level for cotton futures could not be maintained in the face of a decreasing demand for spot cotton. and indications of cur
 tailed consumption. Tn general short interest in the market was still figured to be quite extensive by many close observers in the pit, but the outstanding contracts at this time were said to represent strong interests generally and many were inclined to doubt very much if the power of the bulls was sufficient to scare the remaining shorts under cover. The estimated port receipts for the day were 69. 900 bales, against AZ. 93S for the same day last year.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 2I.-The morning was delightfully quiet one. After such trading as we have had for weeks, the change very welcome. Prices moved around within limits of 10 points or even less and this was sur- prising in the light of recent events. Liver pool lost ground and this left some cotton to come on the market here at the opening. Then rather moderate receipts for next week started some buying and May ran from i.o6 to It.l2, only to decline 10 l .o8. But this was tame compared with what we have had all the week
 Brokers were well satisfied with the market It not weak. In view of the high prices and the recent advance. the tone was steady
 There is a better feeling noticeable in some directions and in others just as much uncer- tainty ever. If receipts fail off now and spinners have another spell of buying, there would be a scramble in the market. The fear of bulsh bureau report later on keeps shorts from selling the market. This is likely to be the factor now for some days and 1t is not

 In the absence of support from the leading longs. bullish enthusiasm disappeared from the oats pit, the market slumping along with other grains The weakness was accentuated by profit taking by local holders.

A. B, Baxter & Cos Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK. Nov. 2I.-Cables were points lower today. The most important point in con- nection with the statistical situation was the fact that the visible supply has crept up to last years figures. Liverpool, however. Is still bullish as to supplies, which are yet some o.ooo behind last year There was nothing special in the weekly Chronicle summary. some reports through other channels show. or claim. that cotton is being held and that some cotton Is still to be picked. It Is not believed that these are anything more than usual. but 1t is believed that the crop Is made and generally gathered and that as rule. 1t has found It's way to market under the very highest prices Statistically the situation remains very strong Spinners who hesitate are gradually recogniz- ing the seriousness of failing to secure SUD- plies and will be compelled to buy at much higher figures later on.

IBs Private Wire From Gilbert q Ciay.I
 NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 2l.-Private cables continue to reflect the opinion that prices in cotton have about reached the top, although considerable business Is said to be pending in Manchester on a basis of Cd for midding spots Bombay and Japan mills are reported as do- ing well on account of the improved China exchange and the opinion concerning the term ination of the advance is doubtless due to the large quantities of cotton recently exported and now afioti for Great Britain and the con-. tnent, as while the position of the spinner is not altogether satisfactory the situation tends towards improvement. The foreigners have up to now absorbed the bulk of the cotton market ed and do not neglect any favorable oppor- tunity to add to their supplies. The visible supply figures denote an increase for the against an increase of Iss. .s5s for the same same time last season. Spinncss takings for the week are in excess of last year. Sso to be for Sy the senTy expcts and the temporary feeling of relief thereby attained; this condition of affairs Is now being reflected in the spot department by the slackening demand. Thus the future course of prices once more depends upon the action of the farmer and his ability to hold which is now generally conceded. American spin ners have not purchased as freely as usual. trusting that lower prices will prevail. Should this contingent become convinced that their hope Is Idle they will doubtless commence buying in earnest. Another factor that should not be overlooked is that the period when the movement usually begins to fall of Is close at hand and with any decrease fin receipts an- other scramble is not unlikely. The trade is now awaiting the farmers ultimatum and the present welcome quiet is thoroughly rational. Price changes today were of little moment. with business restricted to the usual weekend covering, futures recording net gain of from 3 to 6 points for the day with spots quiet and quotations unchanged. The underlying conditions are still the same and indications are for decidedly exciting times ahead. We continue to believe that purchases on breaks with realizing at strong periods is the proper course to pursue and that while a temporary decline may be observed the conditions justify present prices and that ultimately a higher level will rule
