skillfully attacked and persistently

Liverpool was very steady just when
we are weak and the Liverpool de-
clines when the local market rallies.
Very hard to find the right guiding
star under such conditions as these.
The rise Just before the close last
night did not disturb Liverpool in the
least. This may have been the re-
suit of concerted effort here. We are
inclined to think American selling had
something to do with it. But traders
were disappointed and January work
ed back to 9.65c There was very lit
tie trade in the local market and
prices ruled within a few points of
the opening. The price this morning
has been touched about every month
since June If you will go
back over the record of prices
since about June II, you will
find that January cotton has sold
around 9%c every month save during
the sharp rise in early September.
This shows how much speculation
there is in cotton and how much ac-
tual business has been done within
limits of half a cent. Everything now
depends upon the government report
on Dec. 8. In case the report is over

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick & Co.

New York, Nov. 19.-Trading has
been quiet. Local professional senti-
ment is becoming more confident of
an ultimately lower level of prices.
This ground is taken on the theory
that the crop is bigger than has gen
orally been credited and that it will
be found that more cotton has been
held in spite of the big movement
than the bulls have been willing to
admit. One wire from the Southwest
from man who killed the crop in
his section by boil Weevil and bad
weather about three times day on
the average all through the growing
seasoS now says that wagonload re-
ceipts are increasing rapidly and that
several towns in his section are block
ed with cotton. The leading bear in
terests did not appear to be trying to
raid the market, but they sold enough
to gradually fill up demand from
smaller weekend shorts and scatter
ing longs and prices gradually reced-
ed About the only bullish wire came
from New Orleans and stated that
spot demand was so big that the bot
tom could not be far off Elison's
figures makes the average weight of
European deliveries note that ex-
ports of cotton goods from the United
Kingdom for the month of October
exceeded last years by about $4,000 900
yards. European stocks in the hands
of spinners according to the Chronicle
decreased 1900 bales for the month
and is now $1,000 bales behind last
year. The weekly consumption of
European mills is 10000 bales VS..
149 900 last year.

The change in the tone of the spirits
of turpentine market from firm to

which remains at 80 cents, at which
figure fair sales were made yesterday
both during market hours and in the
late afternoon trading. OF great in
terest to the trade in all it's branches
just now is the attitude of the Tur-
pentine Operators Association. 1t is
understood that this association has
assured factors that If. after spirits
should reach so cents and 1t be found
impossible to dispose of the receipts
through the regular trade channels,
the association would buy all offer
ings at that figure. So far as is known
there has been no reason yet to call
on the association to make good this
promise and as the end of the crop
for this season is said to be in sight
it Is possible that there may be no
occasion for the association to come
into the market. nevertheless the pres
ent condition of affairs is one of more
than usual interest.
The market opened yesterday steady
and unchanged from the closing price
of the previous day. The sales were
125 casks. The close was steady and

of 1877 casks. The receipts were $685.
