GINNERS' WORDS EFFECTIVE

New York, December S.-The cotton
market opened easy at a decline Of 6a7
points, which was only a partial response
to weak cables. It looked as though Wall
street was covering shorts, representing
possibly the operations of parties who
had been caught long of stocks, and short
of cotton by the big break in the stock
market, and needed their cotton profits to
assist them in taking care of commit
ments in securities This demand led to
a steady market most of the morning,
with prices gradually working up 10
about the closing level Of yesterday.
Around midday there was a wave of bear
pressure, and a decline to about the
previous low level, but in the afternoon
the market again steadled up on cover
ing and was finally very steady at a net
advance of 7 to . points.
Sales were estimated at $50 900 bales. The
afternoon advance was promoted by the
steady markets. full exports and liberal
increase in shipments as compared with
receipts. Another factor that undoubtedly
exercised considerable influence, and
caused covering by timid shorts were
report that a southern newspaper had
published a letter from a cotton ginner to
the effect that he personally had misun-
derstood Instructions. or the governments
request for information and had reported
the amount of cotton ginned on November
20 instead of November 10. The party IN
question claims that the mistake was
general and that the report of the census
bureau was misleading as to the volume
of cotton ginned to November 10 by about
100000 bales.
Conservative people here seemed in
clined to discredit the statement After
the close of the market, however, trans
actions were made unofflcially at an ad-
vance of 9 to 10 points from the closing
figures, and New Orleans ruled very firm
during the late trading.
Receipts at the ports today 420S9 bales
against 1852 last week and 4S,4S5 last
year.
For the week, $1,000 bales again 3S7, 467
last week and 1872, sl6 last year.
Todays receipts at New Orleans, 1871
bales against 10,SS7 last year, and at
Houstony II, 900 bales against EFT last
year.

violent recoveries were due to the scram-
BILE amongst the triumphant bears to
cover their short contracts, but the more
substantial buying sustained the market
we'll to the strong closing. The improve

son of sweeping out of weak holders was
obvious In the late dealings. There was
no serious consideration of news develop

rupture being held to amply account for
the break.
