LoyEMAN q CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2S.-The first of a series of bulletins on quantity of cotton ginned to Dec. 18 was made public today and exceeded maximum expectations. Ac- cording to the census department returns were received from 7a7 counties in the cot ton belt and gave total ginned to Dec 13 of 11,s4S.113 bales, counting round bales as half bales. Of the counties unheard from there are probably a number of them ia which cotton picking had been completed prior to Nov 13. as the director-in-chief of the census bureau states that the counties which have yet to report had ginned 10 Nov. 14 only s9,261 bales; therefore. since the amount ginned since Nov. l4 was about 20 per cent more than reported at that time the remaining counties yet to be will probably show little in excess of 1oo.- 900 bales and bring the total ginned in the belt to Dec. 13 up to about 11,955,o0a. which figures final report will probably nf about 12. 750 900. exclusive of linters. Tn- days report almost took longs from off their feet and the excitement. that followed its announcement resembied that which took place on Dec. 3, when the Department of Agriculture published the Governments es- timate for such crop as Is now confirmed by facts. Secretary Wilson of the Agricu'- ture Department was quoted in a Washing ton special this morning to the effect thae he was of the belief that the crop would he F. 900. 900 bales and that the final gin ners' report. to be published in about one week. would prove it. Many took advaD- tage of this opinion and sold the market af ana dfteF the OFenlHE' WeS Ou pdsiS of last nights level, March about cents. 1t finally selling at TOT, from which level the market became easier as the hour to make the report known was drawing to . close. Lots of thousands upon thousands or bales were thrown overheard regardless ol price, March sinking to 6h cents under the pressure of offerings, a figure not thought possible of realization for number CT years to come. It Is too bad that the South was obliged to make known to the world the size of the crop. as prior to the opening of the current month spinners were buying freely in the neighborhood of 10 cents and it Is possible that had no estimate or a ginnerE' report been issued every bale raised would have found It's way to the spindle at better than cents per pound.
 Spots were reduced T-1sr to 6&c for mid ding, which means 6 cents in the country. and there is talk of market going stpi lower.
 Reduction in acreage is the planters only salvation.
