has brought out considerable cotton
held for speculative account, and to
this extent attempts to reach lower
level have been successful. The OBJ
ject Of the efforts to depress prices are
more far-reaching. however. and there
is nothing in present market to indi-
cate that move has been or will be a
successful one. Everything depends on
the attitude of holders in the South.
Reports show that cotton Is being
eagerly bought whenever 1t can be OBJ
tained, and the Southerner has very
little idea as to the value of the re-
mainder of his crop. 1t is too early
to saw such ideas are mistaken ones,
and will be compelled owing to ex-
cessive supply, to accept the prices
that speculators say will dominate in
the near future. The market was very
quiet on Monday and Tuesday, and
showed not only steadiness. but con-
siderable strength. lust when the
market looked very much like getting
into new ground on the side of higher
prices, very formidable set of bear
operators began to put out short cot
ton, and the selling started liquidation
so that the decline of some 80 points
has not been difficult to attain.

DEMERE & HAMMoND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

York
New York, Nov. 1s.-LIverpool's first
prices were about on parity with our
closing, and even after our market
opened and started downward again,
the additional loss there was confined
to but point. Cables were conflicting,
some reporting an increase in the
bearish sentiment and expectation of
lower prices, others seemed to think
that the decline had proceeded far
enough and spinners would buy freely
at the lower level. Some color was
lent to the latter idea by the increase
in sales at Liverpool to 5000 bales, al
though at a decline of points. Re-
ports from Southern markets are indie
alive of more willingness on the part
of holders to sell, with softer spot
markets as an immediate consequence.
II must be remembered, however, that
futures have discounted a considerable
greater decline in spots than has vet
occurred, and that New York values
are now decidedly below a parity with
southern spot markets, even allowing
Tor to-day's reduced quotations. A
good deal of recent selling has been
for account of longs who have been
either forced out for lack of margin.
or who thought II best to be out of
the market after the recent experience
with the crippled Geographic system.
These people are not likely to come
back into the market until after the
bureau shall be out OF the way. In
the meantime. bearish sentiment will
cause increased selling for short ac-
counts, and possibly pile up a short
Interest. which may later on prove a
source OF strength. Liverpool is due
to come unchanged to l point higher
tomorrow.

morrow will say:
Reports from the great basic indus
tries are more favorable, and whole
sale and jobbing trade in holiday and
spring goods displays a more confident
tone. Interior buyers appear more
willing to stock up and are meeting
with fair success despite the fact
that unreasonable weather. activity in
fall farm work and some holding back
by farmers retard retail trade and
collections in the West and North
west.
Cold weather at the East and sea-
sonable conditions at the South induce
better reports, as to final distribution
from those sections. Trade generally
is showing gains over corresponding
periods a year ago. and the aggregate
years business in most lines will make
better comparisons than at one time
seemed possible.
Money displays remarkable ease.
crop moving necessities are about sat
isfied, and return flow from the
country is apparently in sight. Gross
railway earnings show a tendency to
increase late gains and to swell earn
ingS for the year to totals above those
of 1908. The coal trade is improving
iron and steel are active and buoyant
in price. and cotton textiles, long hes
liant, display more life.

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick & Co.

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick & Co.
New York, Nov. 1S.-Possibly we are
color blind" but we can't see how
the crop is going to turn out at any
such figure as the bears claim. There
are too many things turning up to in
dictate an increased yield of around Z
to 10 per cent. to be explained on the
ground of coincidents. To-day a gen.
tleman who has investigated conditions
in the northern part of Indian Terri
tory, where there should have been a
good crop, if anywhere, says that gins
there expected an increase of about
per cent. The recent report of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad
indicated an increased crop of ~ per
cent. in Texas. Indian Territory and
Oklahoma, and as it will be recalled
the Journal of Commerce correspond
ents estimated an increased yield of a
little over { per cent, while our own
correspondents estimating a little ear
lier in the season, made the maximum
yield 11.150.000 bales.
Liverpool was easier by a shade this
morning, and the market here opened
unchanged to 3 points lower. After in
creasing the decline a little it rallied
to about last nights level, but again
weakened to the previous low point,
after which it ruled irregular. A bear
ish spot house in the eastern belt says
demand from domestic spinners i'm
proved at the recent decline, but in
terror holders are not following the
decline in futures, in spite of a salts
factory yield. 1t looks as though bear
speculation might cause a further
slight decline, but we look for a more
active and higher market in the near
future, and believe more money can be
made buying than selling at present
prices.

There has been practically no new
feature presented in the market dur

holding out for better prices, endeav-
