cothran g. Co.'S Market letter.

AS soon as the report came out it was
evident that the market could not stand
up under the figures. If there has been
about twelve million bales ginned up to
December 10, the crop is likely to be
over thirteen million bales just as read
lily as not This is not a crop to bull
cotton on very hard and gives such a
chance to ram prices that the break was
not unnatural. Cotton is now going as
much too low as it went too high last
year. But no one will be able to call
the bottom any more than they called the
top. When any staple, particularly as
valuable as cotton, sells under the cost
of production, there is a field opened for
the investor that always pays high
profits.
The only question is the extent of the
decloine and the length of time nee
essary to bring about change of condi-
tons. That cotton bought at 6R cents
viii pay a big profit if carried long
enough every one knows.
But whence shall we buy to catch the
bottom?
There may be little cotton thrown on
the market as a result of the break as
banks in the south may force some hold
ers to sell. But prices are getting so
low that when the rally comes, it will
be violent one for the time being
Cotton Is the cheapest commodity In
the country.
Wheat-There was free selling early on

there was some selling by Armour.
Operations were almost entirely local

element being afraid to sell freely In fear

there was buying in the way of covering
shorts. Should the tip on the final re-
port this afternoon show not over I've

Corn-Offerings small this morning with

Oats-Receipts were light with sample

IN STOCK MARKET
No Widespread Interest in the
Transactions

Believed That Release of Funds In

DEMAND is ANTICIPATED

New York, December 2S.-The same dull
rising market and the same largely pro-
fessional share in the dealings were in
evidence again on tho stock exchange
today. The stocks which were picked for
advance were much less influential on
sentiment by their movements than the
high grade standard stocks, which were
conspicuous yesterday and still showed
evidence of realizing today. This was
notably true of New York Central, the
strength of which infused confidence into
the whole market yesterday. Low grade
Industrial stocks came forward into no
kice today. News was uniformly favor
able to values and the extraordinary ease
of money afforded means of embarking
in stock market commitments.
But the dimension of the days busi-
ness is sufficiently convincing that there
was no widespread interest In the mar
ket There is a general belief that the
lifting OF prices is due in some degree to
the desire amongst great financial insti-
tutions to help out that item in their
annual statements which is entitled mar
ket value of securities held" There is
no doubt of the scarcity of stocks offer
ing at present, so that the process of
marking UP prices is conducted at min
dmum of the expense involved in absorb
ang offerings on the advance
The faith is widely held that an active
demand for securities will be revived
with the release of funds in January and
ii is supposed that present holders of
stocks are anxious to secure profitable
level for themselves, when this expected
demand awakens Advances from these
causes are justly attributed to somewhat
marrow professional factors rather than
to a broad market demand for securities,
but they are significant of he underlying
strength Of market conditions, neverthe-
less, without which the professional tao
tics would be unavailing to move prices.
The interest manifested In the indus
trials today was stimulated by the color
of trade adyices, especially from all de-
partments of the iron and steel trade.
Railroad buying was the most conspicu-
Gus factor, and dealt especially with steel
rails, freight cars, locomotives, and In
tact all forms of railroad equipment
Amalgamated copper responded to a
fresh advance in crude copper and to a
revival of a demand for the metal. Re-
fined sugars were advanced. The cotton
market reflected the growing conviction
that the governments estimates of an
unprecedented yield of that crop are war
ranted, fact that may have its natur-
ally beneficial effect on stocks modified
by the reflected effect of speculative
losses in cotton. r
Much Importance was attached to the
relief by. the breaking of the drouth
from some serious restrictions on indus
trial activity. A new high record price
l for Northern Securities on the curb was
"a feature in the day. The market closed
quiet, active and firm.

Loveman q Co.'s Market Letter.

New Orleans, December 2S.-The first of
series of bulletins on quantity of cot
ton ginned to December 49, was made
public today and exceeded maximum ex-
peetations. According to the census de-
partment returns were received from 731
counties in the cotton belt and gave a
total ginned to December 49, of Il, S4S, 113
bales, counting round bales as half bales.
OF the counties unheard from there are
probably n number of them in which
cotton picking had been completed to
November "A, as the director in charge
Of the census bureau states that the
counties which have yet to report had
ginned to November IA only S9,26l bales.
Therefore, since the amount ginned since
November "A was about 20 per cent. more
than reported at that time, the remain
ing counties yet to be heard from, and
they can be only a few, will probably
show a little in excess of 1901 GOO bales
and bring the total ginned in the belt to
December 10 up to about u,9550o0, which
figures the final report will probably
show. Such a report would indicate a
crop of about u, 100, 900 bales, exclusive Of
linters.
Today's report almost took longs from
off their feet and the excitement that
followed its announcement resembled that
which took place on December 3, when
the department of agriculture published
the governments estimate for such a crop
as Is now confirmed by facts.
Secretary Wilson of the agricultural
department was quoted this morning In
| a Washington special to the effect that
he was of the belief that the crop was
twelve million bales and that the final
ginner's report to be published In about
one week, would prove It, Many took
advantage of this opinion and sold the
market at and after the opening, which
was on the basis of last nights level,
March about Z cents, finally selling at 707,
from which level the market became cas-
Ter as the hour to make the report known
was drawing to a close.
Lots of thousands upon thousands of
/ bales were thrown overheard regardless
of price March sinking to 61s cents under
/ the pressure of offerings. a figure not
thought possible of realization for a num-
! Der of years to come. 1t 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.
spnners were buying freely in the neigh
! borhood of 10 cents, and it Is possible that
had no estimate or ginners' report been
! issued, every bale raised would have
1 found its way to the spindle at better
than cents per pound. Spots here were
reduced ZIG to 69s for middling, Which
means SIX cents in the country, and
there Is talk Of the market going lower
Reduction in acreage Is the planter s
only salvation.

PRICES HAMMERED DOWN

New York, December 2S-The sensa-
tional decline in cotton was continued
today as a result of aggressive bear pres
sure Immediately preceding the publiea-
ton of the ginners' report at midday af-
ter which there was heavy liquidation
and further pressure, so that the down
ward tendency was continued with the
market finally barely steady at the low
est point of the session, and every active
option selling well below the seven-cent
mark. with the near months around 81
cents.
The opening was steadied by the rel
atively good showing of Liverpool, and
increased spot business reported there,
with first prices showing a decline of
points on January, and an advance of
2d6 points on later positions, but the
bear leaders were hammering the market
and shortly after the opening there was
a break, carrying the market to a net
loss of SQ9 points. Later there was a
partial rally on covering, but just before
the census report was received prices
sagged off again, showing that the big
bears were COnllutHl VI lilHlt poslilbil. L III
report proved more bearish than had
been at all generally expected. The bears
took it as indicating a total crop of q
round 100000 bales, while the lower
Wall street bear leader, after the re-
port was issued. raised the estimate Of
the crop to 100000 bales.
The report was followed by active
liquidation. While some of the big shorts
appeared to be covering at the decline
support was withdrawn on every little
bulge, and bear pressure was renewed
with the market showing final net loss
of 81 to 3S points for the day. The clos
ing tone was barely steady and senti
ment was very apprehensive of bao
