Washington. Dec. S.-Director OF the
Census North to-day made a state
ment setting forth the position of the
census bureau I'm connection with the
resolution recently adopted by the
Memphis, Tenn, Cotton Exchange and
concurred in by other exchanges, re-
questing that the census office aban-
don it's present. plan of publishing the
cotton crop reports in partial state
ments and withhold all information
until reports have been received from
every county in the cotton belt. Di-
rector North says:
Since the census bureau undertook
the collection and publication of the
statistics of cotton ginned, only two
objections have been urged to its plan,
namely: That too much time elapsed
between the collection and the publ
cation dates of the reports and that
the exigencies of the cotton trade re-
quired reports more frequently than
once a month.
The change was made to meet
these two objections. It is impossi-
Bile to give out complete reports un-
I'll all the agents have made their re-
turns; and, as facilities for travel and
other conditions differ widely through
out the cotton producing states. II Oft
en- happens that a few county re-
ports are late and the publication
OF the full report thus delayed several
days. Under the new plan informa-
ton h. given 10 the public az fast as
received and compiled. Incidentally
the returns are thus protected from

quent reports and gradually prepared
all concerned for the complete monthly
statement given the total quantity gin
ned to a given date. The preliminary re-
port of Nov. 20 gave an accurate force
cast Of the full report and gave notice
to producer and manufacturer, as to
what might be expected I'm the final re-
port issued Nov. 80. and in consequence
there were no sharp and sudden fiuc-
tuations i'm prices during that time.
As a steadying influence upon the mar
ket the partial reports have been
abundantly justified already.

Department of Agriculture, estimating
the years growth at 1912. 900 bales,

appeared on Dec. 3. The public. there
fore. had ten days in which to pre-
pare for a large crop estimate. II
would appear that the effect of the par
tial statement was TO prepare the pub
lie for conditions now appearing and
TO prevent wide fluctuations in prices,
which must otherwise have occurred.
THE Office has received abundant
testimony that the new method is re-
garded by the producers and consum-
ers Of cotton as an Improvement and
advantage.
However, the plan OF issuing these
partial statements is experimental, and
II at the close OF this season its re-
suits are not regarded as clearly ad-
vantageous TO producers and consum-
ers. Il will be abandoned thereafter.
The census reports are primarily made
for the benefit Of these classes, and

9 to 10 point down. Soon after the
opening prices commenced improving
and up to about o'clock had gained
6 to points. The brokers spent most
of their time discussing the probable
ity of the farmers holding back their
cotton, when a great commotion was
created by a rumor to the effect that
a large error had been discovered in
the government bureau report. The
ring Immediately went wild with ex-
element and prices shot up 20 to p
points and held the advance well, los
ing but a point or two before the ses-
sion closed. January opened 10 points
lower than yesterdays closing at
7.4sc, sold up to 1850 before the ex-
element when the price went up to
7.7Sc, a gain of % points and finally
eased off to 7.75c. The market clos
ed strong with net gains of ii to II

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Xick & Co.

New York, Dec. s.-The South is
Withdrawing offerings. Whether hold
ers are starting out to hold in earnest,
they are evidently going to try the ex-
pertinent. The spinner, accepting the
government estimate of the crop, is
bent on averaging his supplies and the
result so far as we can see. is that
spot business is practically at a stand
still. Offerings are few, and demand
practically nothing. This is situa-
ton that cannot continue long. One
side or the other will yield. Conditions
seem to favor the consumer. Mills
have enough cotton to make them rel
atively Independent, and while the big
amount already sold has put the
South in funds, these funds, we think,
have, to some extent, been invested in
stocks, and the severe break in securi-
ties, if not speedily recovered, may
have an important bearing on the cot
ton situation.
Pending the result in this direction,
speculation Is likely to go slowly
There will be efforts to discount indi-
Vidual views as to the trend of the
market, of course but in the main
scalping policy will be pursued leading
to irregular fluctuations broad enough
to afford a good trading market.
Judging from the information reach
ing us from the South and abroad we
are inclined to believe that further de-
clines will be secured as the holidays
approach and with this in mind would
advise short sales on all bulges

New York. Dec. S.-There was very
little change in the cotton market to-
day. The covering demand seemed to
be sufficient to offset pressure, and
the market was at a standstill most
of the day. The South seemed to be
holding its own very well, and there
was no stampede as many had expect
ed. The market is now just 10 cents
lower than it was less than a year
ago. Never in history of cotton spec
ulation has cotton sold at 17.50c and
T. soc the same year. The country was
speculatively cotton mad at 7.50c;
every one is bearish at 7.50c, and veri-
ly it looks as though they, too, would
have their reward. Few seem to be
able to get far enough away from the
days business to realize what is rep
resented by a difference of 10 cents.
There is no reason for cotton to be sell
ing around cents. There is no COM
parison with other prices at any such
figure as this. 1t will take some time
for the trade to recover from the blow,
but the present depression cannot last
indefinitely. There is no reason to be
short of cotton with New York at 712
cents. 1t will be found that cotton has
some value even though the crop is a
large one. When the trade begins to
recover from the attack of fright, this
will be a very different feeling abroad.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
NEW YORK FUTURES
CLOSED AT GAINS.

New York, Dec. S.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline of 697
points, which was only a partial re-
Spouse to weak cables. 1t looked as
though Wall street was covering shorts,
representing possibly the operations of
parties who had been caught long of
stocks and short of cotton by the big
break in the stock market, and needed
their cotton profits to assist them in
taking care of commitments in securl-
ties. This demand led to a steady
market most of the morning, with
prices gradually working up to about
the closing level of yesterday. Around
midday there was a wave of bear pres
sure and a decline to about the previ-
Gus low level, but in the afternoon the
market again steadied upon covering
and was finally very steady at a net
advance of 7@9 points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
The afternoon advance was promoted
by the eteadier Southern spot markets,
full exports and liberal interior ship
ments as compared with receipts. An
other factor that undoubtedly exercised
considerable influence and caused COW
ering by timid shorts was a report that
a Southern newspaper had published
letter from a cotton ginner to the effect
that he personally had misunderstood
instructions or the governments re-
quest for information. and had report
ed the amount of cotton ginned on Nov.
20. instead of Nov. 10. The party in
question claims that the mistake was
general, and that the report of the CEN
sus bureau was misleading as to the
volume of cotton ginned to Nov. 10,
by about 100000 bales.
Conservative people here seemed in
ciined to discredit the statement. After
the close of the market, however,
transactions were made unofficially at
an advance of to 10 points from the
closing figures, and New Orleans ruled
very firm during the late trading.
