SEA ISLAND COTTON.
GINNERS REPORT
FEATURE OF MARKETS.

New York, Nov. 23.-The cotton
market showed continued activity. The
second instalment of the ginners' re-
port showing a smaller percentage OF
increase over the amount ginned in
the same counties last season than the
report of yesterday caused some pref
ty active covering, and the market in
the afternoon showed a steadier tone,
though yielding again before the close.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of 2@4 points in response to
better cables than looked for, but all
most Immediately weakened, and be-
fore the end of the first hour showed
a net decline of about Toll points,
or within a few points of the low
level attained last summer. At this
decline covering was naturally attract
ed and toward midday the market had
recovered about half the loss The
census report, showing that AIS coun-
ties, nave ginned to Nov. IA this year
about 5,733,175 bales against 4,0O6, 1875
bales last year, was then read and
was followed by a further upward
movement, carrying December to $3.50
and January to 9.46c, or a gain from
the lowest of about 1904 points. Later
the market weakened again under
bear pressure, attracted by the bulge
and liquidation by buyers on the early
break, who wanted to get out of the
market over the holiday Tomorrow
The close was steady at a decline of
1m3 points Sales were estimated at
500, 900 bales.

more satisfactory basis, the increase
being only 43 against 50 per cent. in
yesterdays report. Though the
bulletins from $40 counties which
were taken separately, show an
Increase of only 80 $40 over
last year, there still remains 557
counties to be heard from. OF these $50
are lying west of Alabama, where the
increase in production is generally con-
ceived to be much less than the eastern
belt. II would seem, to follow that
the remaining counties must show a
much greater increase over last year,
and thus bring down the general aver
age increase around 40 per cent, or a
total to Nov. IA, of about 100000 bales.
We are inclined to think that 1t would
be difficult to create the stampede with
such figures as a basis. The most
pertinent remark, which we have so
far seen regarding the holdings in the
interior, comes in a letter to the New
York Commercial from Mr.. William
White, banker of Lancaster. 1t gives
the situation in a nut shell; never was
a cotton crop gathered so quickly as
this season, and while we are free to
admit there is large amount being held,
1t only differs this season in that it
is held in the bale instead of remain
ing ungathered in the fields. Liverpool
is due to come l higher in the morn
ing, but American markets will be clos
ed, observing Thanksgiving Day.

Before the traders in spirits Of tur-
pentine had quite recovered from the
drop in the price of that commodity.
which took place day before yester-
day they were called on to see the mar
ket drop again, this time with the
traditional dull sickening thud." The
opening was firm at 49A cents, the
price paid in the afternoon of the pre-
vious day, and with sales of 2, 496 casks
but at the close both tone and price
had gone off, the first from firm to
steady and the latter to drop of an
other half cent from the opening fig
ure. The sales at the decline were 100
casks. So far as can be learned no
sales at any figure were made in the
post market trade. Some idea of the
prevailing feeling of the trade may be
gathered from the fact that even be-
fore the close yesterday an offer to
sell 1000 casks or any part of that
number at 4915 cents was posted on the
board at the Board of Trade. The offer
was still in evidence at the close.
The receipts for the day were III
casks, and the shipments 200. The
New York market maintained it's price
and tone of the former day, dull at
$3.50, but London was quoted at de-
cline, the price being 80.
Whatever may be the cause of the
depression in the spirits market it has
not reached the other branch of the
naval stores business for resins not
only continue firm, but the prices ;ad-
vance from day to day. The opening
yesterday was firm with an advance
of 10 cents on water white. and the
close was firm and unchanged at the
following prices. The sales at the
opening were 2,251 barrels, representing
the total for the transactions during
market hours. In the later trade re-
ceipts went at varying prices. Some
buyers paid quotations all along the
line, others up on w. c., N and M
and PIC on c, B, A, while still other
sales were made at sc up on l, and
above, and ~ cents up on F, and
below. The receipts were 2126 barrels,
and the shipments, $50 The New York
market was quiet at $2.95.

FOOD VALUE OF RICE.
A Well Balanced FOOd-Very Easily

From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The interest manifested in the arti-
Gle on the rice industry of this country
which appeared in a recent issue of
this paper, and more particularly in
those portions of the story which
touched-lightly, it is true-upon the
food value of the staple, would seem
to indicate that discussion of this
last would prove acceptable to the
Tribune's intelligent readers. The sub
ject is prolific one, and it is not pos
sible to exhaust it in one essay; but the
industry has assumed such Importance
to the United States, and the product
properly appreciated, is likely to be
of such value to it's people, that what
ever space is demanded will be most
profitably expended in their behalf.
A knowledge of the uses of food is
necessary to a proper understanding of
the methods of comparing the values
of the various kinds. This knowledge
is but recently acquired by the world S
scientists themselves. and. therefore,
it may be assumed that the lay read

Say There Is Too Much Confusion to

New York. Nov. 23.-The feature Of
the market was the second installment
of the ginners' report. If the ratio of
increase is maintained for the rest of
the counties the complete returns
would be somewhere between $4,000
and 10,200, 900 bales, with the probable
figures around 10000 900 bales. This
would be rather more bearsh than
traders have expected. The total has
been figured around 100000, which
would indicate crop of about 11,250,-
600 in the event of large percentage
of the crop being ginned to Nov. IA,
but 10000 900 bales would point to a
larger increase and would therefore
lead many to look for lower prices.
But as the whole report has not come
out no one knows whether the total
will be 100000 or 100000, and even
then 1t would be impossible to state
the crop was 100000 bales any more
than 100000 bales. That is the
trouble with these reports this year.
They are quite valueless as an index
to production. We would advise wait
ing for the bureau report on Dec. 3rd.
This is the time of year when bears
have control of things, and there is
too much confusion to get a very
clear view of the future

New York, Nov. 23.-Yesterday's CEN
sus report showed an increase in the
amount ginned to Nov IA, this year for
the few counties reporting of about
55 per cent. as compared with last
year. To-day's instruments covering
ATS counties showed an increase of
only about 43 per cent. This report
included only seventy-one counties in
Texas. During the month covered by
the census bureau report since the
October returns, ginning has been in
full swing in the Northern states, while
in the Southern states, having been in
full swing the month preceding, it was
beginning to fall off during the last
thirty days, and consequently we full
ly believe that further reports as they
are published, will show a smaller in
crease over last year. The report re-
ceived a rather bullsh construction and
the market following it's publication
rallied about 10 points from the bot
tom on covering. Previously the mar
ket had shown weakness. After work.
ing down to about 9.32c, for January
covering set in and the market rallied
to about .42c, after which fluctuations
were irregular. We do not see any rea-
son as yet to alter our estimate for
crop of 11,150.000 and we believe
the market will sell higher after the
census report has been fully received.
According to our adviC es Atlantic states
spot holders are Withdrawing offerings
and refusing to follow the decline. while
the easier tendency in some other sec
lions appears to be of speculative orig
gin.

The reaction in cotton anticipated in
certain directions did not materialiZe
yesterday; on the contrary, there was
a further loss of price in every depart
prise, inasmuch as the second install
ment of the ginners' report was made
public, and was generally construed as
being decidedly more bullish than the
first instalment, dealing entirely with
Georgia counties. The market did rally
when this was first received, but later
there was sag to prices, and the
close was at net losses of from 1Q4
points lower in the American futures
markets, and from 10Q13 in the Liver
pool market.
In the local spot market the opening
was easy at a decline from the close
of the previous day. The midday call
was unchanged in both tone and price,
but there was a second decline of 1-16c
at the close. when the tone was only
nominal. The spot market shows "a
strong tendency to resist the decline,
and though some sales were made at
the lower prices. many of the holders
refused to accept them. and are hold
