Futures opened steady to 4 points

heavy buying by prominent bulls sent
prices up steadily until the active
months We're 10 to IL points higher

couple of minutes by cablegrams to To-

that the London papers had started
their war correspondents to Japan.
This was regarded as serious news and

some extent. In the trading January

A. Norden & Co... Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 2.-Notwithstand-
ing a bearish editorial by the Chronicle,
giving their outlook for the crop as
over last year, our market was again
firm, and advanced several points on
speculative buying, much of which
came from New Orleans, but before the
close we were below last nights price
on a telegram from London, indicat-
ing that war between Russia and
Japan was imminent. This may be
nothing more than a stock exchange
canard, but with the crop in sight now
over last years figures, and the visible
supply figures also unfaVorable we
continue to feel that caution is advis-
able, and would rather work the short
side prudently for the present.

COTTON.

Spot cotton opened firm, with prices
unchanged, and sales of 100 bales, and
closed steady 1-16 up, sales, 1,461 bales.
The demand was good and the offer
ings taken: Spinners seemed more
willing to take the cotton Offering
around present prices on the belief
that they are to advance soon. There
is both the possibility of an upward
or a downward turn, and rather than
take any further risk spinners are get
ting into the market. Receipts to-day
1853 bales. against 5,497 bales same
day last year.
In the f. o. b. market the demand
was fairly good, though the country
were not eagerly disposed to trade.
While from some quarters there was
pressure to sell holders were not
willing to shade quotations. The open
ing quotation at the Cotton Exchange
was 12ssc, and the closing 1880.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market
at the Cotton Exchange to-day.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-12-13
PICKED UP ON 'CHANGE.

A large steamship agent who has
just returned from the Memphis dis
trict, reports that he found about the
same amount of cotton moving in
that section as there was at this time
last year. The impression has been
that the crop was extremely short out
West, but the impression this gentle
man has of the movement indicates
that there has not been any serious
falling off so far.
Writing to a well known f. o. b.
broker, an officer of a leading Georgia
cotton mill expresses the opinion that
the mills cannot operate at a profit
and pay 12c for their cotton. Cur
talIment seems to be the remedy.
c. Wessolowslxy of Albany was
among the recent visitors on the Sa-
Vannah Cotton Exchange, who feels
confident this crop is short, and that
there will not be enough to supply nor
mai consumption.
New Orleans bulls continue to send
assuring kilograms from that market
When the market declines they take
new courage, and call it a drop to
take new hold.
The feature in the contract markets
yesterday was the talk of war One
report was that England had sent war
correspondents. to Japan to report the
conflict, and from the reports it look
ed like fighting was to begin soon.
The bears around the New York ring
made the best of the rumors, and
around the closing the talk was paint
ICpl fn efrrl,f
hquidate, causing a sharp decline.
The New York Commercial has re-
ceived the following:
The verse below has been sent to
us by a friend of ours and a very
prominent cotton man at Galveston,
Tex We can only hope that he is
not writing because of personal ex-
perience, and that he is not among
those waiting for the cotton that is
way behind the time "
Atwood Violet & Co.
OH! PROMISE ME!
From the Opera
Robin Hood.
Respectfully Dedicated
to the
ABSENT MINDED SHIPPER.
Oh promise me some day you'll ship
The cotton that is way behind the
time
That you will ship it well up in
class
So that in Bremen twill surely pass
Oh promise me! Oh promise mel
Oh promise me before you fail,
I'll surely all my cotton get;
I've followed closely on your trail
And not as yet received a bale.
oh promise me! Oh promise me!
Oh promise me that you'll be straight
Not raise the class, or add to weight
That should you leave for Mexico
1 shall be the first to know.
Oh promise me! Oh promise me!

New York, Dec. 12.-There was a rise
of points at Liverpool to-day in the
future market and points for spots
The Chronicle said that the crop was
being marketed promptly, and the same
authority published a vague report on
the situation against a moderate crop
There was a gain during the week in
the visible supply of 1860 bales
Stocks in the Liverpool marnet were
gaining the week increasing $4,000
bales, although there was falling off
in the afioat stock of 1000 bales. Print
cloths were advanced at Fall River and
elsewhere, the tendency has been to
advance manufactured products, as we
have contended all along must be the
outcome of the present rise of cotton.
Receipts keep heavy, but an early fall
ing off is looked for everywhere, and
especially in Texas. Ports to-day were
estimated at $4,000 bales, against 45, 900
last year. The market started ragged,
but soon turned very strong. Sellers
were in the background. The bear ele-
ment were simply pointing to the big
movement, but feared to sell. Small
crop estimates were standing firm, and
there was a good deal of anxiety in
dry goods circles to secure supplies.
New Orleans houses were buyers on
a large scale. Shorts were covering
because of some rains during the night,
fearing the movement might be re-
tarded.
Estimates for tomorrow: Houston,
10000 to 1880 bales, against 8,542 last
year; New Orleans, Is, 500 to 16, 500 bales,
against 1928 last year; Galveston, H.
900 to 1900 bales, against 9,44S last
year.
