DEMERE & HAMMOND
Confidently Expect to See Liverpool
35 Points Higher.

Savannah, Ga, March 25.-The cot
ton market of the world this morning
savored of bearish sentiment. Liver
pool was very disappointing and New
York followed suit, but the decline
was only temporary in both.
The weak Liverpool encouraged a
bear raid in New York, but all offer
ings were quickly absorbed. and the
market steadied; the bears were forced
to cover at higher figures. The gen.
eral sentiment was in favor of a bull
ish ginners' report which was not at
all disappointing. The figures were
10,014,000 bales, equivalent to 10.045, 900
bales of 500 pounds standard. This in
Guiding all linters is nearly 100000 bales
less than the ginners' report of a year
ago, which should put at rest all doubt
as to the crop being fully up to re-
quirements even after reduced con-
sumption.
Out of this estimate we should
take $4,000 of linters so that the crop
of merchantable cotton is well under
100000 bales. We confidently expect
to see tic for July without any great
reaction, and favor purchases on any
easy spots. On New Yorks close to-
night, Liverpool is due to come up 80 to
IS points tomorrow.

J. II. PARKER'S LETTER TO HAY
WARD, WICK & co.

New York March 25.-The census
bureaus report of the crop of 10000,
based upon the amount already ginned
and remaining to be ginned, and in
Guiding linters. estimates the total at
10,014,454 square bales. Accepting these
figures as a correct amount of the ac-
tual growth of the past season, we
must add, to arrive at the commercial
crop, about 100000 for re-baled sam
pies, and whatever portion of the new
crop that may come into sight prior
to Sept. 1.
normal summer movement of new
cotton is between $4,000 and 100000
bales, so that in a general way to-day S
report may be said to indicate a COM
mercial crop for 10000 of about 10,200,-
900 bales. If these figures were gen.
orally accepted. the verdict would fol-
low at once that the supply is entirely
too short to meet the worlds require
ments, but there is a strong undercur-
rent of doubt as to the reliability of
the figures, which will not be removed
until the movement shall demonstrate
conclusivey that they are correct.
AS might have been expected, the
market to-day has been decidedly
bullish and July has again been raised
to 10 cents with May about Is points
behind. Compared with last night the
rise has been &c. and the new level
reached make an advance of over IS
per bale within two days. This sud-
den advance, in the absence of any
eeneral public interest. is rather too
rapid to last, especially as it was
brought about mainly by forcing out
a considerable short interest, the abb
sence of which leaves the market in a
much less favorable position. Sudden
booms in futures are not likely to be
| Immediately followed by equivalent
advances in spots, and, if the improve
ment is to be permanent there should
! be a halt, if nothing more, until spots
! catch up. Spinners have had within
the past six weeks. two opportunities
! to buy spot cotton around 10 cents, as
| a result of the successive collapses of
| inflated markets, and they are hardly
| likely to aid in re-establishing a 15c
! basis for actual cotton after their re-
! cent experience. From now on the re-
ceipts will come in for more than us
/ ual attention, and upon their volume
will depend the public's acceptance CT
! rejection of to-day's crop figures.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 25.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at a de-
cline of 1902 points, following dis
appointing Liverpool cables, and some
selling on the theory that the report
of the Census Bureau migb make a
less bullish showing than expected.
The bulls seemed very confident that
the figures would confirm small crop
| estimates, however, and soon after the
opening prices began to work upward
on covering. and a somewhat increased
demand for long account, though as d
rule trading to midday was quiet with
a general disposition to await the gin
ners report. By midday May had
been worked up to 14.15c and July
1920. At this time Supt. King read
the report of the Census Bureau, show
ing the total amount of cotton ginned
from the 10000 crop to have been TO-
O14.454 bales, counting round bales as
half bales, the usual commercial Gus
tom and including linters.
Expressed in bales of 500 pounds
standard, this would be 10,045, 614 bales.
This showing was more bulish than
expected, and was followed by jump
in prices of about 20 points when
heavy realizing caused a reaction of
almost as many points on May before
fresh buying orders came in. Then
New Orleans bulls supported vigorous
ly, and it looked as though the market
was attracting a renewal of outside
demand. Within an hour after the fig
ures had been announced May was
selling around 14.S7c and July to
Is. Ole, net gains of 76@81 points, and
an advance from the low point of the
morning of about a cent "a pound.
This level was about that occupied
al the time the suspension of D. J.
Sully & Co. was announced, and
brought out realizing with the result
that prices went off several points fol-
lowing which the general ruling of the
market was somewhat irregular, but
generally steady to firm.
The close was few points off from
the best, but steady at a net advance
of 71@76 points on the old crop, and of
1920 points on the new crop months.
The advance was also assisted by the
fact that the movement into sight for
the week ran under early estimates,
and the estimates for to-morrow's
movement were moderate.
Sales of futures were estimated ut
G50, 900 bales

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-03-26

The census report, which showed a
trifie over 10000, 900 bales, gave a bull
ish aspect to the market yesterday,
and futures shot upward accordingly.
New York, as we'll as New Orleans
futures, showed fractional advances,
the former ring going as high as so
points. Leading traders were inclined
to the belief that cotton would yet
mount to the eighteenth step of the
ladder.
AS in days previous, there was moth
ing doing on the spot, and quotations
were omitted at all three calls.
The f. O. b. brokers did some little
business in the early morning hours
at Ac off the closing quotations.
In the afternoon, however, every
thing was at a standstill, while 15c
on a basis of good middling was free
ly posted on the boards, the interior
was holding for higher prices, and con-
sequently no business was done.
Optimistic brokers, who refuse to be
quoted freely, predict that cotton is
bound to go to Is cents. They base their
theories on the fact that the ginners'
report shows such a material falling
off, and that the worlds demand is so
great that the article is bound to go
UP.
The market is one that will bear
watching
