were in good demand by outsiders and af- ter various fluctuations values became steady, closing at a net gain of about l point on the day. Special press adviees From Washington say that the secretary and statistician of the agricultural bureau department of the government admit that 1t is true that the net weights given by them of the cotton bales in their estimate Of the crop was 1882 pounds in 1901 and that in 1903 they raised the net estimate or weights to 1908 pounds, by which they arrived at their estimate of 9,962000 bales for this crop.
 They also admit that if the computation were made on similar weights to these used in 1901, it would increase the esti- mate 5O000O bales, but they claim their returns show that the weights of bales have increased to the figures they have used. The weights used by the govern ment,. however. are not borne out by those issued by Secretary Hester, and as his figures are predieated on actual weights, the trade all over the world accepts them. Secretary Hester's state ment of the average gross weight of bales this year up to November closely approximate those of last year, and as last years closely approximate those of 1901, it seems as if the government bureau have made their estimated net weight of bales entirely too high. The government estimates the yield of lint at 4,SSa. 796,0OO pounds, and as the weights of bales for the past three seasons are practically the same, it is claimed that assuming the net weight this year is 470 pounds, as against the governments estimate of 46S in 1901, the indicated growth this year would be 10, 100000 to which should be added say 3O0,o0O bales for linter's sam ples, etc.. as per the statlsticians figures of 1902, making a total commercial crop of 10. 0O0 Against these contentious the president of the Texas Cotton Grow CTS association says the bureaus estl- mate is rather over than under the actual yield. and the majority of operators and outsiders believe practically the same thing. Sentiment therefore is very bull ish. Nevertheless, with a continuance of heavy receipts and restricted spot de- mand, we would suggest purchases only on decided declines.

Baxter ds Co.'s Grain Letter.

Chicago December 10.-The trade in wheat this morning was comparatively quiet Prices at the start showed a little nervousness and for a while there was some uncertainty as to the movement but before midday decided weakness de- veloped, led again by Chicago, accompa- nied byN reports of selling by Armour in- terests through brokers and of large sell on stop loss orders December wheat showed the greatest weakness at the west, declining rapidly. There was very little change in the news bearing on the market. Cables were dull. The exchange Argentine cables reported no rain. Pri- vate cables reported from the northwest with good increase in northwest stocks The southwestern movement was little lighter. The whole movement appeared to be largely if not entirely the result of speculative operations at Chicago Corn was again very firm and did not sympa- thize with the weakness in wheat Light CT offerings, somewhat better demand and fairly good general buying was re- ported. Oats were about steady during the morning. Receipts west are well maintained but not oppressive. Provs- ions were very firm during the morning with lighter offerings. Higher live hogs. and considerable increase in general buy ing interests. Wheat was dull in the af- ternoon, rallying some, but closed unset tied. Corn, oats and provisions were steady, closing quiet.

 New Orleans December 10-Notwith- standing that Liverpool advices were very disappointing, our market opened unchanged to 2 points lower on the near months and to 10 higher on the late, owing to the bullish statement issued by the president of the Texas Cotton Growers association, in which he says the bureaus estimate Is rather over than under the actual yield and urges pro- ducers not to part with their cotton at less than l5 cents pound. When this was generally known fresh buying occa- stoned an additional improvement of to points. Later. in the session the easi- ness of spots and indications of bearish weekly figures superlnduced break of 1e to 25 points from the highest. It was apparent however, that if spots were pressing heavily on the market futures

 New York, December 10.-Reactionary in tone, the stock market today showed great sustaining power. The news devel- opments of the day were meagre and de- void of interest except with regard to United States Steel, which occupied the center of the stage. Unfavorable rumors in regard to the company again caused conversions to the bear side. We do not believe that the holders of good stocks should be alarmed. On the other hand we recommend that the average, buying on a scale down in moderation In the event of further reaction. The fundamen- tals are sound and the market at these prices is constructed upon investment ab sorption. which is the best kind taking as it does stock away from the street
