Loveman 6 co,s Marked Letter.

By H. 6 B. Beer.
 New Orleans, La, November 26.-Trad- ing was active during the past week as the result of publishing of series of bull letins on the amount of cotton ginned to November IA, but as the report to the census department indicated much larger per centage ginned than expected. probably about 100000 more than last years CLEO spots and future values were lowered from 9D2 cents to about cents There was little reaction today, covering about 3O.00o bales of short cotton In the English market influencing Liver pool to level five points higher than last nights closing, after opening quiet and unchanged
 It is probable that Europe's acceptances of large blocks of actual cotton direct from the interior had something to do with bringin0 about steadier feeling. There was better demand for spots in the local market than buyers cared to ac- knowledge, official returns showing sales of 5O5O to arrive 6000 at unchanged prices for middlings of 9Hs against 9N last Saturday. Receplts promise to be as large this week as last week, all ports today estimated at 65,000 against 50000 last Saturday, and 1t is probably that the weeks insight will be as large, If not larger, than last year for the coming week. probably 500,0o0, against 4790O0. The attractions during the next week will be the last and final bulletin on cotton ginned to November IA, which Is expected next Tuesday. Then will follow the all- important estimate of the agricultural de- partment of the United States govern ment on the probable size of the crop. This year the government will not have less than 3l.G00 900 acres to figure on, against 2S,0000 GOO. The actual yields per acre last year was TIT pounds and the net weight of the bales was 491, which, If figured on this years acreage would in- dicate a crop of 11,190,000 The actual yield per acre year before last was l9o pounds, and the net weight of bales 491 pounds which on the acreage of today would point to a crop of 12,3Oo0O0. The average production of cotton per acre during the past five years averaged 19O pounds and the net weight of the bales for the same period averaged 4sO and the indicated yield on this basis is 12,3OO-OoO.
 The popular estimate for the govern ment figures is about 11,500000.
