BREAK MADE TO NEW LEVEL

New York, December 2.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to 15 points in response to higher ca bles than expected Private advices re- ported that European shorts were cov- ering a policy that may have been en- couraged by a private estimate placing the crop at 11,4O0,O00 bales, and also by the big demand for spot cotton at the de- cline. But after the first wave of eoy- ering here, 1t was seen that the big bears were still selling freely, further reports of demoralized southern spot mar kets were circulated. and shorts of the smaller kind partially withdrawing their hour broke to a new low level for the season. At a net decline of points they were gradually rallied about 10 points from the bottom But while the big bears bought on the breaks, they turned sellers again on the bulges. and the recovery was not held Trading, too, kept turning less active, and during the best part of the afternoon prices ruled around the closing level of yesterday. The market was finally steady at net advance of 2a6 points.
 Sales were estimated at 100000 bales. Routine news received little or no at tention, speculative interest being cen tered on tomorrow's crop report. Re ceipts of cotton at the ports today, 63, 69S bales against 67, 69S last week. and 4s, BPS last year. For the week, 3S0000 bales against 369, ,SS0 last week, and 373,S50 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans were 1895 bales. against S076 last year and at Houston. 11,20S bales against 13.S6l last year.

Loveman G Co.'s Market Letter.

By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans, December 2.-In advance of the government annual crop estimate which will be issued tomorrow at I0:15 o'clock, New Orleans time, traders have endeavored to discount it's probable effect upon the market. The recent large crop estimates 11.940,000 bales by the New Or leans Democrat, il, 939 000 by Miss Giles, and 1,500,0 600 by members of the New York and New Orleans cotton ex- changes were used in depressing values. The market worked down to such a low level that it is thought 1t will require off, ficial estimate in excess of II, ,600,000 to force prices any lower tomorrow. The governments figures to be annaunced to- morrow will be based upon lint per acre, averaging 186 pounds for the last two years. but weight of bales was as heavy as any of record, 491 pounds net, the le- wee tax on cotton inducing planters to put as much as possible in each bale in order to escape having to pay s1 on every bale marketed In some of the river parishes. The yield per acre this season is con- ceded to be much better than last year, and if it should average as much as the last two years the indicated yield will be about twelve million bales If figured on the average line per acre of the past five years 190 pounds, and net weight of bales for same period 4S1 pounds the indicated yield would be about the same twelve million bales.
