The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-10

The opening of the cotton market
yesterday was anything but true
horoscope of what was soon to follow.
At first every thing looked roseate.
and an advance of from 10 TO 80 points
was posted. The cables were firm and
Liverpool showed an upward trend
aggregating 40 points.
The bulls evidently gained courage
and sustained the market on the ex-
pectation that the bureau would show
less than 1O.000,O00 bales ginned up to
Jan. Is. When the census report was
received and had bearish earmarks
the whole attitude of the market shift
ed. Heavy liquidation set in, and de-
spite the efforts of the bull leaders,
both in New York and New Orleans,
the market broke nearly a cent.
The governments estimate was as
follows: Total number of bales ginned
Counting round bales as half bales),
9,S59.277 commercial bales. Total
square bales. 9O9S,s9O round bales
747,4SO up to and including Jan. 16
1904
Traders regard the crop in the light
of the bureau as showing between ten
three and ten five million bales and
the market was swayed by these calcu-
lations. Others go on the hypothesis
that the government is always wrong
I'm it's estimates, and look upon the
present estimate as farce.
Whether bulhsh or bearish, the re-
port certainly had a marked effect
upon futures, and the New York mar
ket closed 50 points down, while New
Orleans went her sister city 2 points
better.
There was but little doing on the
spot, although good middling went off
nc on what appeared to be a purely
nominal market.
The (. o. b. men tried again to bring
producers and exporters together with
out much apparent success, and as in
spots. the market was nominal on a
basis of good middling quoted at 131a@
lac. Some few sales were made late
in the afternoon at the latter price.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The sea island cotton market closed
ouiet, and everything was in an un-
settled shape for the past week. There
was evidently no disposition on the
part of spinners to pay the present
prices except for small lots. The re-
ceipts for the week were light only
as bales being brought in, against
1872 last year
The crop In sight up 70 date is &c.
1l2. against S,S12. The failing on this
week as compared 70 last year was
$500 bales. Quotations were I'M
changed.

Chicago. Feb. 9.-The influence of
the disturbances in the Orient was
keenly felt to-day in the provisions pit.
Active demand sent the price of May
pork $1.221A per barrel above yester-
days closing figure. Grain prices also
were affected. The close was strong in
both grain, and provisions with May
pork up 81 .021a; May lard, 25c and ribs

DRY GOODS DEMORALIZED.

New York. Feb. 9.-The dry goods
market is more or less demoralized as
result of the further decline of the
raw cotton market, but sellers show no
disposition to weaken. The possibili-
ties of demand resulting from Balti-
more are regarded as large, much de-
pending on the ability to resume III
many of the burned houses.

an Advance.
New York, Feb. notwithstanding
the ginners report of 1885, 900 bales
ginned to Jan. 16. which, with the small
amount of cotton generally reported
from the South as to be ginned on that
date, seems to us a complete confirma-
ton of our recent crop estimate of
9,750,000 bales. We have had a weak
market to-day and close at the bottom
AZ cents below the highest of last week.
The war is partially responsible for
this, but there is undoubtedly a feeling
that the bull movement has finally col
lapsed and cannot be renewed From
a speculative standpoint, this may be so
for the present. but in the long run cot
ton is worth more than 10 cents, if the
crop is to be under 10000, 900 bales, and
with the imitation now out of the situa-
tion we think an upward movement is
likely to take place shortly.
