REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New Orleans, Dec. 1a-In its summary
OF the cotton situation the Times-Demo-
crat will say tomorrow:
Yesterdays cotton market proved
disagreeable surprise to the friends of the
price. who had been led to expect a fairly
steady tone, at least. until after the holi-
days. TIE downward tendency. however,
Is quite logical. for there is total alb
sence of speculative support, while in the
bear camp confidence appears almost Eu-
preme. Yesterday the actual stuff came
out in some small volume ut several bull
ish strongholds. This may or may not
indicate that the farmer is wavering in
his determination to hold for higher prices.
But It was good enough powder for the
bear artillery, and the price was pounded
heavily.
THE influences of the moment bear di-
rectly upon the surplus. In the final anal
Ssts, this surplus, whatever its size may
ultimately be. must be taken care of either
by the farmer OF by the speculator. Should
the farmer weaken now and the price fail
TO a figure attractive to the latter. he
will gather in the surplus. and hold 1t for
a profit In such event short crop next
year would put a harvest of gold in the
spectators pockets. There are but few
