LACK OF UNANIMITY
AMONG COTTON MEN.
AS to the Weather Census Report
Should BE Given as a Whole.

1t is hardly probable that the Savan-
nah Cotton Exchange will take any
action in regard to asking the govern
ment to issue the ginners' report in
its entirety and not piecemeal as has
been the case this season. The Mem
phis Cotton Exchange has passed a
resolution that the report be issued
only when completed, and asked the
cooperation of the other exchanges of
the country, but the opinion of the
members of the local exchange is not
unit on the matter so that no ac-
ton is likely to be taken here.
Capt. Wright Hunter, vice president
of the local Exchange, when asked his
opinion of the Memphis resolutions said
he, thought they would amount to
nothing as he is under the impress
sion that something similar was done
by the New York trade, and sent to
the government without any reply be-
ing received, and, besides, he thinks
the question at issue is of no great
Importance because the figures repre-
sent merely the capacity of the gins
and are no real index of the size of
the crop.
Mr.. H. T. Williams thinks the pres
ent system is the correct one, holding
that the government should favor
should make public the figures in it's
possession as soon as they can be put
in the proper form for so doing
On the other side of the question,
however, are the views of Mr.. Gardner
Dickinson who believes that it would
be best for the entire trade if the re-
port should be issued as a whole. He
bases this opinion on the fact that
every time a report is issued it un-
settles the market for the time being
to the detriment of the trade whereas
If the figures were not given out I'M
til they were completed such an un-
settled condition would result but
once, at least from this cause, and the
trade could quickly adjust itself to
such a new basis as might be necessary
because of the effect of the report.
Another prominent cotton man took
the same view. He thought it a dis
tinct disadvantage to both sides of
the market to pick out a single Sec
ton or state. as was the case a short
time ago, when the figures for Geor-
gia counties were given alone. He
thinks the report should deal with the
crop as whole as in any other way
1t is likely to be misleading.

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick d Co.

New York, Nov. 29.-Yesterday's spot
markets were steadied by big de-
mand. Reports from spinning centers.
with the exception of Fall River. are
no less encouraging, in fact there APP
pears TO have been no change what
ever in legitimate trade conditions.
To-day's break must, therefore, he due
to something of a speculative nature.
We think it reflects a mistake on the
part of the local contingent as to the
probable sHDwing of the ginners' re-
port at noon tomorrow and still
greater mistake as to the government
report on the following Saturday. If
canvass of the local trade was
made it would develop the fact that
they are expecting about 100000 TO
10,200,000 bales ginned to Nov. IA.
Counting round bales as half bales,
6,S15,0OO bales were ginned to Nov. "A
last season. The reports so far issued
indicate an increase of about 42h per
cent, adding which to last years total
figures would give an indicated report
of between 100000 and 9,S00,000 We
think, therefore that to-day's decline
is unwarranted and that unless it de-
moralizes Southern holders. of which
there is no evidence as yet. it will be
followed by a rapid recovery before
the end of the current week If we
knew the crop was 1850, 900 bales,
which we don't, we would consider
prices low enough.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
ACTIVE AND EXCITED
DAY AT NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 29-It was an eX-
ceedingly active and excited day in the
cotton market, with prices showing
great weakness under very heavy
liquidation and stop orders uncovered
by the decline. The close was at prac-
tically the lowest prices of the session.
The market opened easy at a decline
of 5@7 points in response to much
lower cables than expected. For a few
minutes there was some support and
prices ruled irregular, but Liverpool
continued easy. New Orleans showed
weakness and both markets sent sell
ing orders here. Prices soon started
downward. After declining to a net
loss of about 14018 points, there was
a slight rally on covering, but in the
afternoon there was another hard drive
made at the market, led by Philadel-
phia and lower Wall street interests,
and prices broke very sharply. Heavy
stop orders were uncovered on the de-
cline and with reports from the South
claiming easy spot markets at a de-
cline of Lice to Ac the situation APP
peared wel-nigh demoralized The
close was barely steady at a net de-
cline of 27@43 points.
Sales were estimated at 600, 900 bales,
much of this having been done in good
sized blocks.
There did not seem to be anything
In the news to explain the decline,
which was taken by some to result
from bearish expectations regarding
the census bureau report to be issued
at noon tomorrow and the govern
ment estimate of the crop expected at
11:15 O'Clock on next Saturday.

SPOTS.

Another big break in cotton prices
at all the chief markets Of the world
happened yesterday and new low rec
ords were made in several instances.
Lower cables than expected was an
early factor in the decline, but the
most potent one seems to have been
the desire to discount the government
report to be issued to-day. The slump
in prices can be seen from the fol-
lowing figures showing the losses in
the futures markets at the close: Liver
pool 10 to IA points, New York q to

Triton MINERAL 0GIST'S
LATEST DISCOVERIES
Is Said to BE Petroleum in washing
ton County. Fla.

Is Said to BE Petroleum in Washing
ton County. Fla.
Triton, Ca, Nov. 29.-As mineralo-
gist, Mr.. w. ]. Henderson of Triton
is again to be heard from. He has
during the last three years since his
residence in Triton made discoveries
of diamonds, gold. kaola and other val
liable minerals within a few miles of
Berrien county.
About two years ago he discovered
the precious stones (diamonds) in the
bed of a river near Triton; later on
gold in a well in the city of Triton
and the metal of which crockery is
made from on the place of one of Tiff
tons prominent citizens in Worth
county. For some reason none of
these mines have never yet been Gull
tivated. However, he claims that they
abound in the ground in the territory
he named.
Mr. Hendersons latest discovery is
crude petroleum oil in Washington
county, Florida. He has just returned
from a fifteen-days' prospecting tour
in that state, and brought home with
him fine samples of the oil, also the
shale that overcaps the oil, both oil
and shale burn freely, and the oil is
of a pretty red color. He states that
it is a natural geological oil formation
under shale. He leased and bought
1000 acres of these oil lands. and
named the place where the discovery
was made Martha Washington, Wash
ington county, Florida.
Mr.. Henderson has been exploiting
for minerals and oil for the past three
years. This has been his entire bust
ness, and with his recent discovery he
is satisfied of a fortune, and is one
of the proudest men of the country.
Mr.. Henderson is near 70 years of
age, and with his discovery and in
vestment in the oil lands feels assured
that he has been paid in three years
time what thousands of men with all
their savings could accumulate in a
life time. He is indeed happy over
his discovery, and he, with two other
gentlemen in Triton, who have bought
interests in his lands in Florida, are
preparing to begin boring for oil inn
mediately after the holidays.

WARE & LELAND u.
Say New York Market Was simply
Flooded with Cotton.


New York. Nov. 29.-After the tempo
rary rally. the downward movement
was resumed In full force this morn
ing, and all records broken before the
day closed. Both December and Janu-
airy broke to SC in New Orleans. jan
uary in Liverpool broke sd and Janu-
airy here sold at &c. There was too
much cotton for sale. The speculative
short selling that started the ball roll
ing at 10c helped the break and cot
ton kept coming out all day. There was
a lot of short covering early but later
on the selling was enormous, and
prices crumbled away. After selling
at 9.27c, early March rallied to about
9.36c, and then held around 9.34c. This
led traders TO believe that a market
which failed to react more than a few
points would go lower. All hands sold
at midday, and the market broke
