DEMERE & HAMMOND
Say Bumper Estimates of Crop Are
Being Abandoned.

New York. Sept. Private cables
generally bullish. Old bumper esti-
mates of crop rapidly being abandoned.
Spinners are plainly nervous, many of
them have sold goods months ahead
without hedging by purchases Of cot
ton or futures, in the belief for which
British spinners are noted, that the
new American crop must be a monster
one, and must sell at proportionately
low prices. II believed that the mills
will be forced into the market soon,
and that the next bullish impulse will
proceed from their aggressive buying.
Sales to-day in Liverpool. 5000 bales,
were therefore considered significant,
while the advance in futures in place
OF decline. expressed further evidence
of nervousness among foreign shorts.
The bureau report due tomorrow. is,
of course, the main topic of discussion.
There extreme prediction is running as
low as IS. and as high as IS, but the
majority of opinion hangs around so to
81. They will compare with 91.6 last
month 81 . last year, 81 the year be-
fore, 1913 and 1873 respectfully in 1898
and 1897, two seasons of greatest yield
per acre. The September average for
the past ten years is 1872. From these
figures it is evident that no matter
what the conditions tomorrow may
be, ii can. on its face, be used as an
argument for a very large crop. It is
probable. however that the trade will
ignore the report almost completely,
owing to the fact that three days hOl-
iGay Immediately follow the appearance
of the report. Operators have evened
up interest in the market more closely
than we have seen it for a very long
time, and when we reopen on Tuesday
next. the bureau and possibilities will
have been largely forgotten. We shall
fall back again on the question of sup
ply and demand. and unless the offer
ings are more free than they have been
bullish one.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-09-02

reduced to a matter Of ; or points
on the more active months. But every
thing considered, the market absorbed
the offerings surprisingly well, and
just around midday rallied on a re-
newal of bull support and some outside
buying attributed to the influence of
a bullish crop estimate by the leader
of last winters bull compaign, pre-
dieting a crop of only 100000 bales.
This was not taken very seriously by
local traders but there was much APP
prehensiOn as to the probable showing
of to-morroW's report, and the smaller
shorts at any rate are not over con-
fident of a large crop, so that the mar
ket responded to the increased demand
by advancing to about the opening
figures. But the buying soon "petered"
out and the market, meeting with con-
tinued liquidation by bulls who want
ed to dispose of their holidays before
the bureau worked back again and
in the late trading was quiet and easy
al about the lowest prices of the day.
The close was steady, at a net advance
of 3@7 points. Sales were estimated
al 900 bales. According to private
cables, the report of a local newspaper,
showing the September condition to be
IA per cent, or a deterioration of
Z per cent. from the figures of the
same authority last month, was one
of the factors in advancing prices in
that market. Here this same report
was taken rather bearishly as fore
casting a government report of around
"a per cent. The market toward the
close seemed to be getting about as
well evened up as it could be prior to
the report, although it was believed
that good sized Southern short inter-
est formed on the preceding day, was
still outstanding.

Say Liverpool Surprised the Entire
Cotton Trade.

Cotton Trade.
New York, Sept. 1.-The day was full
Of interesting developments. In the
first place, Liverpool was due to come
several points lower, but instead, came
up points at one time. This was a
complete surprise, in view of the fact
that a, member of the exchange, who
has been very prominent on the bull
side of late, had cabled Liverpool that
he was out of the market. The ad-
vance was due to the enormous buying
by the Alexandria spectators. These
operators are known to be the largest
in the trade, and up to the present
time have not failed to make a great
deal of money of late years.
The buying was undoubtedly due to
the conditions in the Southwest, where
the combination of boil weevil and hot,
dry weather has been too much for
the crop.
We regard this news from Liverpool
as worthy of a great deal of consid-
Grafton. The Journal of Commerce in
its monthly cotton report, gives the
condition as TIA. against S4S last
month. This journal has been very
accurate in forecasting the government
figures, and it now looks as though u
substantial decline might be expected
in the report tomorrow
1t must not be forgotten that the
crop has gone back rapidly since the
25th of last month, and any figure S
given by Washington must be accepted
with this in view
1t is said that Sully is talking 10000
900 bales as coming cotton crop The

bales of his estimate last wear. and

The Savannah cotton market yester-
day was a particularly active one,
and the demand for spots was 50
strong that even on a declining New
York and New Orleans futures mar
kets, prices here advanced. The spot
market opened firm, with good mid
ding at 11Ac, at 1 o'clock it had ad-
vanced nc, and at the close this ad-
vance had been held and the tone re-
manned firm. The sales were 343 bales.
The f. o. b. market was also quite
active. The official quotation was 11hc,
basis good middling, but sales were
made at a slight advance on this fig
ure.
OF more than usual interest as show
ing the trend of shipments towards
this port. is the fact that of the total
port receipts for the day, Savannah re-
ceived very nearly one-half.
To-day the monthly report of the
Department of Agriculture will be read,
at lis o'clock, and as this will be the
most important report of the cotton
season, it is awaited with more than
ordinary interest. 1t is anticipated that
ii will be bullish in tenor and though
it may have been largely discounted
by the time it is read it is likely to
cause some activity, especially as there
is practically a three days holiday to

were about 25 to 30 American points
too high. Our market only partially
responded.
AS we pointed out in our recent let
ter, people recall that during the big
crop years. a wet August was followed
by an average condition of under 80
per cent. and while the feeling is still
strong in some quarters, that big
crop cannot be grown from one cause
or another we fancy that it will re-
qulre actual out-turns to convince the
world OF this fact.
Mr.. Sully, we understand, estimates
the crop at only 100000 bales. There
seems little ground for such an esti-
mate. However well It may seem
justified before Dec. l.
On the whole the market took the
cotton surprisingly well. With senti-
ment in its present shape, ii is a dan
gerous market. but the merits in the
case seems to favor lower prices.
