Daily Cotton Letter TO Hayward,
Wick & Co.

New York. Dec. 2s.-The cotton
market doesn't improve. There has
been some covering this morning but
the bears are talking still lower
prices and the movement demand
that might have been expected
around Ga cents does not materialize
The European trade has taken the
same view Of the ginners' report as
we anticipated, namely, that it re-
fleets a crop of 1900 900 minimum,
and all this talk of holding and burn
ing cotton merely serves to create the
impression that the amount remain
ing to be ginned after Dec. Is, when
known, may furnish another sensa-
ton. The local market opened rath-
er better than due on the cables,
which reported a decline of about 20
er at the equivalent of about ~
cents in American money. But after
a slight advance, following the open
ing decline of l to Z points there was
renewal of bear pressure and
break to a net loss of II to 10 points.
Later there was a rally of to 10
points from the lowest on the cover
ing that would naturally follow the
severe break. but the market shows
little rallying power, so certain are
the bears of their conviction that sup
plies in the South must be greatly re-
duced before prices can be expected to
do much better. Trustworthy news as
to the Southern spot situation is hard

SLIGHT LOSSES
ON ACTIVE MONTHS.

New York, Dec. 29.-Cotton quota
lions reached still lower levels during
to-day's trading, but the market was
less active. and there was less excite
ment with net results showing only
slight losses on the active positions.
The opening was steady with Au-
gust unchanged and other positions 1
to points lower. which was rather
better than due on the Liverpool ca
bles. Private advices from abroad
stated that the European trade placed
practically the same construction on
ginners' report as it had received on
this side, namely, that it reflected a
minimum crop of around 100000
bales and official quotations in the
English market at the time of the To-
cal opening were IS to 20 points net
lower while spot cotton lost 20 points.
But while there was enough covering
by smaller shorts to steady the open
ing of the local market it soon de-
veloped that there was little snap to
the buying and prices following the
call sagged off to a net loss of about
IL to 13 points under bear pressure
and talk of a slump in the Southern
spot situation. Around midday cover

the early afternoon, and at the low

January selling at 6.35c; March at

StarfIe Shorts

Startle Shorts.
New York, Dec. 29.-The effect of the
ginners' report had not all been spent
yet. This morning further declines OF
10 to Is points were scored and the
market showed about as little resist
ance at 6.70c for May as it did at z7Oc,
8.70c, or 9.70c. OF course this is always
the way. The market will look
sickest the day 1t reaches the bottom
for the year. or maybe for years to
come. But it must be admitted that
the market was very, very weak and
that Inducements to buy were few and
far as the situation went 1t is
simply a question of time now.
No one knows but that prices will
go lower than ever before and we may
see scent cotton just as people are
talking now, but there is never any
guide in such a market as this and all
one knows is that cotton is selling be-
low the cost of production, and that
from this price some day will be big
money in cotton as investment There
is no inducement to buy as a specula-
ton unless the buyer intends to follow
the market down and is willing to
stay. There is no longer any bull fac
tor in cotton. There is toos much of
this years crop. Planters will have
cotton to sell on every rally, but there
is nothing in the world to prevent a
rally here some day that will startle
the shorts. We will have it, though
no one can say just when. 1t is the
time to use caution and on a good
break to buy
