REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Nov. 1S-Enough bear news
cafae to the surface on the cotton market
to-day to shake the confidence OF the bull
interests. and holders OF cotton generally,
and TO encourage further liquidation, and
at the same time induce the bear element
to become more aggressive in their opera
tons for the decline.
In the first place, the Liverpool mar
gets again made full response to our
decline of yesterday. and secondly, the
| movement of the crop for the week turned
out much larger than had been predicted
! earlier in the week. with the amount
| prought into sight approSimating 00o0
bales. against 6l5.ooo last week, and esti-
mates made by various experts last Mon.
| with ess.0o a year ago and $4,000 in 1902.
Then. again. more cotton was said to be
onering from the South than for some
substantial support here or at New Or

the ginners' report. which is expected

but there was no rally OF any Importance
uiitll late IN The afternoon, when 1t seemed
as though the selling movement had about
run Its course. Then the market hardened
under further covering of shorts, and
gradually recovered all of the early de-

aggressive operations by the bear clique.
Spot cotton here was reduced only S
points to-day, with the price now on the
basis of 10 cents for middling.
SPINNERS WILLING TO SELL
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New Orleans, Nov 1s.-The TImes-Dem-
ocrat will say in Its summary Of the cot
ton situation tomorrow:
Yesterdays cotton market was an i'm
gortant affair in more ways than one
First, IT demonstrated again the willing
ness of spinners to load up on the actual
s1I stuI whenever the price approaches the
stf-cent mark. Crop estimates count for
nothing when buyers and sellers talk busi-
ness on mutual ground The market also
proved again the vigorous strength of the
bull faction at the current level Of values.
lime and again the bears have endeav-
ored to break down the $50 barrier, but
the wonderful capacity for absorption the
bulls have shown has invariably turned
the trend upward again.
Yesterday a dozen big operators
watched closely the trading around the
New Orleans ring. Nothing came OF 1t
during the morning hours, but IN the
afternoon they got busy and heavy buying

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-Reiterated reports OF
damage in the Southwest caused active
covering Of wheat to-day, resulting in q
firm market. At the close. both the Dec.
and May deliveries were up llc. Corn is
down !sGi1c. Oats are I'D a shade. Pro-
visions are practically unchanged.
Sentiment in the wheat Dit at the open
ing was bearish. Contributing to the pres
sure were lower cables and a report of
LIBERAL shipments from Argentina. No.th
western receipts. which for some time past
have been smaller than for the correspond
ing days year ago were somewhat in
excess to-day.
This fact. taken in connection with the
continued excellent weather for the move
ment Of the crop. had much to do with the
Initial prices. Opening quotations on Dec.
were on Aaac to san@1c- at sl.l0ls 10

at 81 104s4Il .10ia to N.10s.
During the first hour selling was quite
general. commission houses ana pit traders
having plenty of offerings on the market
The demand, however, was comparatively
light and in consequence. prices declined
still further, Dec. selling of to Sl.10. May
reacted to S1lOh. Later. sentiment In the
pit became bullish. and on active covering
by shorts the market experienced q SUBJ
stantial rally. One cause Of the improved
demand was report from Minneapolis,
claiming sales of 6o.090 bbls. of flour there
to-day.
Another factor was a report of a St.
Louis trade journal saving there had been
no report from dou2ht conditions in the
Southwest. On the advance Dec. sold up
to N.uA and May to Sl.1lla. The market
closed firm, with Dec. at N.nhs. May
closed at Sl-1l4G1 lis.

changed the complexion of affairs in short
order. The trade generally believes the
market Is now quite low enough and a
sharp reaction would surprise nobody-fur-
ther decline would surprise everybody.
Crop estimates continue to be keeping
pace at the lockstep. Continued heavy re-
cefpts and knowledge that, generally
speaking, only about 1900 pounds of seed
cotton are required this season to make a
5O-bound bale. whereas about 1,6o0 pounds
was required last season. Is getting in Its
work In the crop estimate. This. how
ever, can now have but little effect in so
far as the price is concerned. Provided
tude the trade believed the mill men would
fll their warehouses on a basis OF $50.
II this be true, and there Is every indica-
tion that 1t is, the trade is In no danger
