Prices of various iron and steel pro-

of railroad earnings. and the declaration
of the first dividend in 2S years of Read

dences of the growing prosperity which
were of most effect on sentiment. Colo

Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

The market was without any special
features today except for publishing the
usual weekly statistical Statements
which were rather bullish, weeks 'in-
sight SS0.476, last year 4126SS, the small
ness of which, however, was accounted
for by claims of farmers holding their
cotton for higher prices. There Is q big
difference In the price of cotton today
compared with what 1t was selling at
this time twelve months ago, about $50
per bale cheaper, and IL the crop be Il :
100000 bales the reduction in its value
means a loss TO the south of $l35, 900, 900
on the unmarketed 100000 bales, the 'in
sight TO date figuring 1884. 1853 bales
against 8503.266 bales last year, s,s11, 4e9
bales the year before last and 6,233O0s
bales in 1901. There is some consolation in
as 1t is said to be, that the excess in
years yield will net at least $4,000, 900 ex-
elusive Of revenue of by products. which
will cut the indicated loss down to about
one-half. II the government is correct In
its estimate of 12,162.000 bales the ginners'
report Of next week should certainly
prove it to be so by showing at least H.
100000 bales ginned to December 13, to
which the trade would make an allow
ance of about or per cent of the crop
to be ginned after December Is, In order
to bring up the indicated crop to the
governments estimate there is a general
idea that such figures will materialize,
and for this reason the market has re-
ceived no support warranted on develop
nents of the past week.
