MARKETS FOR FUTURES
sENsATIONAI. DROP AT THE OPENING
 OF TRADING.
Irregular Rally Occurs on Heavy Covering by the Bears, but at the Close
 Prices Are Off % to 35 Points.

NEW YORK, Dec 6-The cotton market ruled active and excited during the entire session as a result of further readjustment growing out of Saturdays Government es- 1 timate of the crop placing 1t at about O million bales above any previous production and as much above any years ta~.nss on record
 The opening was weak at a decline of 30 t0eQ points in response to sensationally low cables. Liverpool reported decline rang. ing from about 32 to 42 points and spot cotton 43 points lower. There was a very active demand on the opening locally. This seemed to come from recent heavy sell iers while people who had been fighting the decline of the last two weeks on the ground that the trade was over estimating the crop were evidently dumping over their cotton. The general uncertainty was in- creased by the report of disorganized South ern spot markets and before the wave of selling could be checked the near months were selling about 41 to 60 points net lower, with December quoted at 7.5o and Janu-
 There was an irregular rally at about this time. The covering of large blocks by the bears treasured longs to some extent and New Orleans sent some less bearish mes- sages toA the effect that some Southern banks would stand by interior holders.
 On every bulge of 10 to Is points, how ever. the bears seemed to be putting out fresh short lines and further declines would follow. The market worked up in an IT, prices were about 1S@19 points from the lowest. with December quoted at 7.s6 and January at TIT. This recovery seemed to attract fresh pressure, from parties who hal been waiting bulge to sell short and was followed by another decline, talk ing prices back to within a few points of the previous low record.
 Toward the close there was further cover ing and the market was finally very steady at a net decline of 29@35 points Sales estimated at 100000 bales Receipts at the ports today 62,934. against 62,445 last week and 50.5ss last year.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

sniCAGO. Dec. 6.-Sensational reports of rust damage in Argentina caused a two- cent advance here today in the price of May wheat. The market closed practically at the highest of the day. Corn is down
 hc. and provisions off 2h Q 10c.
 Wheat at the opening manifested a firm tone As the sesson advanced the initial firmness developed into rampant bullish- ness. Rather indefinite news from Argen- tina to the effect that harvesting is being delayed by wet weather was the principal cause of the firm opening: May was up a shade to &c at 1.11%@1. 1.11% With an active commission house demand prices steadily advanced. Snow was reported to have fallen throughout Kansas and Okla homa. but this bearish influence appeared to west was bullish. advices from Minneapolis stating that large sales of flour had been made there The reports of flour sales
 cabegram from Australia said that the wheat crop Of that country is being serious
 ly damaged by extreme heat. Additional bullish enthusiasm was created about the
 middle of the day by report from a Chi-
 cago crop expert who is now in Argentina According to this authority the wheat crop
 of the South American country is in crit ical condition, nearly one-half of the total
 crop being damaged by rust. The report
 was not replete with details. but it sug- gested that notwithstanding increase of
 nearly two million In acreage the total crop
 Is 15.O0o,ooo less than last year. These fig
 ures were alarming to shorts and through out the remainder of the day there was an
 urgent demand from that source. Just prior
 to the close May sold at 1.13h. The close
 was at l.1sS. Clearances of wheat and
 flour were equal to 56.500 bushels The amount on passage increased 192.000 bush els. and the visible supply showed a gain of 1.265.000 bushels Primary receipts
 were 1.20S.1Oo bushels. compared with l.
 46O.700 year ago. Minneapolis reported | receipts of 1.05S cars against 1,413 last week and I.066 year ago.
 A large increase in the movement of the
 new crop was the dominating influence in the corn market. In consequence of the Iib- eral receipts and improved grading consider | able weakness developed. notwithstanding the sharp advance in wheat. An additional bear factor. was a report from Argentina claiming that the new crop was expected to be very large May opened L &c lower
 at 45b @45A. sold off to 44% and closed at AZ GAS.
 Weakness of corn had a depressing ef- feet on oats. Lower prices at the sample tables also tended to weaken speculative values. Trading was only moderate May opened a shade to Ac lower at 30A to 305s @3l. sold down to 30& and closed at 30% O 50 h. Local receipts were 99 cars.
 Considering the immensity of hog re- cetpts the provisions market held remark | ably steady. although prices showed a but the market received fair support from packers around inside figures. At the close

 LETTER.
Virgin & Faunce. Mgrs. ]


 NEW ORLEANS. Dec 5.--The aftermath crop was almost favorable to the bear side; as its first effect. Liverpool became demoralizej over it and the American mar kets were nervous in sympathy, while prices touched new low levels which fulfilled the predictions of the more conservative bears. After the wide break at the opening there was recovery. but the market did not hold a good undertone at any time during tho day and bears sold freely on the expectation that the seven-cent market would soon be touched.
 Liverpool was due to show a decline of 25 to 30 points. but at the time Of the open down. New York came in weak at de- cline of from A to 54 points Profit talk ing was heavy on the first cali and although the country was a heavy seller around the opening the profit taking large enough to absorb all offerings and to send prices up for a fair recovery.
 While the decline has been merry enough and the market at present looks weak the dreams that some bears are having of 51s cent cotton may never be realized Such bears are only counting with the spinner as a consumer. but with cotton below ! cents it will be used for countless other things in will use 1t instead of paper wall paper manufacturers will enter the market. and. so will the makers of mattresses and car pets. Cotton can probably be turned to more uses than any other commodity known and 1t will be turned to every conceivable purpose of the price is low enough.
 Spots were quiet. Only a moderate amount of trading was done at prices a full cent lower than board quotations.

G. E. PIERCE & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire from Gibert & Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 5. Merchants in Liverpool interpreted the bureau estimate as indicating a crop of 12,750.000 bales result than expected when our closing prices were considered. very unfavorable opinion Of the market was stated being general op- tionS finally closing at decline of 40 Eng fish points and spots lost on sales of 5000 bales. 43 points. Manchester reported cloths unsettled and yarns very irregular. Initial trades in our market were at a decline of from 40 to 45 points. and were approximate ly the low figure of the day. Early advices
 ing spots freely. and efforts to buy on the reduced basis met with opposition from buy- Ing for reaction, resulting in a moderate rally in prices. Details of the bureau report show considerable decrease in the acre age. The estimates made early in the sea- son of about 31.750 900 has been reduced to 30.O53.700, or, 5.3 per cent also average weight of bales show an increase of about ? per cent. Hence the Government esti- of lint per acre has been considerably above the average As to the future of prices, sentiment is still bearish but many who be- lieved in low prices think present figures are around bottom for the time being and even substantial reaction is due. If realized, however it must originate from the firmness of holders of approximately the six million bales which have not come into sight and an increased spot demand of moment. We are inclined to believe the market will assume more normal condi- tons and although the decline has been great a crop of 12,o00, 900 bales Is immense and should a substantial reaction occur sales will continue to prove profitable as still lower prices will ultimately ensuc.

 The sharp decline in the price of every thing on Saturday and again this morning under the largely augmented supply of cot. ton bills caused the definite dismissal of stock market faetors Ths the orss realm . of itself was barely affected.
