prise the Trade.
New York. Nov. 3O.-After what has
happened recently, traders were not
surprised to see January crash through
cents to $500 this morning, nor were
they surprised to find March advance
ing from 9 cents to 9.27c after the
ginners. In fact, things are now so
absolutely demoralized that nothing
would surprise the average trader
Those who have been right on the crop
for years and who looked for less than
100000 bales would regard 12,000,-
600 bale report from Washington on
Saturday as entirely within the range
of reason That is, they are so mis-
taken in their ideas Of the crop that
even a 100000 bale yield would not
startle them now. In other words, it
looks as though this was a crop where
all the cotton data had to be disregard
ed. The conservative element is grad
ually being educated to receive al
most anything on Saturday. That is
one reason for the decentralization. They
won't buy until after the report on
Saturday. In the meantime the mar
ket is at the mercy of the bears. The
ginners report shows 9,7S6,000 bales
ginned up to Nov. IA. You can guess
what the crop is If the percentage is
known. Otherwise the figures are quite
valueless. That is we know the crop
is at least 100000 bales; this is not
additional information.

YEARS BUSINESS OF
THE COTTON EXCHANG E
Report Is Made by ohiciaIs at New
Orleans.

Report Is Made by officials at New
Orleans.
New Orleans. Nov. SO.-The annual
report of the board Of directors and
Secretary Hester of the Cotton Elk
change was made to-day. 1t shows a
business in spots" free on board"
and costs, freight and insurance" of
100000 bales, against 100000 bales
last year. and 100000 bales the year
before.
In futures the transactions more
than doubled the large business of
1902-1903, with New Orleans holding
it's position in the front rank of the
great markets of the world.
Notwithstanding the decrease in the
receipts of cotton, due to lessened pro-
duction in territory tributary to this
market, New Orleans handled over its
wharves 22.24 per cent. Of the cotton
crop of the United States, against 221S
last year.
Complaint is made that the ex-
change is still hampered by lack Of
telegraph facilities TO points in the
cotton belt, although remarkable re-
suits have been obtained in the expe-
ditious handling of messages between
New Orleans. and New York and Liv-
erpool.
The annual election Of the ex-
change will take place Dec. 5.

a decline of s to IL points. On the
announcement of the report an adj
vance was made, covering a consider
able portion of the decline up to the
noon hour. Secretary Hester discover
ed the error and the report was found
to be more bearish by 10000 bales

gin, as sea islands are, it brings II
cents or more and completes with the
lower grades of sea island cotton.
While the quality of the staple and
the price of 1t gives it big advantages,
the large yield per acre and the ease
with which it can be gathered, as COM
pared with sea islands, is greatly in
its favor. The yield here has been
from one to two bales TO the acre.
which makes it more prolific than
either uplands or sea islands. 1t is
as easy to raise as the uplands. but
it is easier than sea islands.
Much enthusiasm has been created
among those who planted IT this year
The staple where ginned upon a saw
gin was one and three-eights inches
in length. The cotton will be used in
all of the finer yarns and will take
the place of the Egyptian staple right
along. 1t is said that the soil of this
section is splendidly adapted to the
new staple.

Selling at the Market.

Americas. Ga, Nov. SO.-Many plant
ers here are accepting present p, es
for cotton, fearing the staple may go
lower A great deal of cotton is held
in the country and in warehouses and
not few planters are determined to
stick it out until next spring, while
others less courageous are closing out
their holdings since the recent slump
began.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-12-01

The element in the cotton trade that
favors higher prices for the staple had
another bad turn yesterday, as the re-
suit of a further slump in the mar
kets, which was so pronounced as to
create new low levels of prices for this
sea son. The crash was the more I'M
expected, too. as the last installment
of the ginners, report, which was made
public about midday was less bearish
than had been generally anticipated.
Upon its first appearance prices raj
lied materially. but renewed pressure
on the part of the bear contingent and
Wall street. and an easier tone 10
Southern SPOT markets turned the
trend of prices again downward, and
the toboggan continued practically UNI
til the close.
The Savannah spot market opened
easy at a decline of nc, and maintain
ed this level during the whole day,
though the tone changed to steady at
the midday call and again to quiet at
the close. During the first part of
the day the demand was pretty active,
and sales were exceptionally large.
With the rise in futures following the
ginners' report holders were inclined
to ask better prices. but after the
slump that followed. especially in the
very late part of the day, buyers had
their inning, and as a :ule, refused to
pay market quotations.
The tone, prices and sales for the day
