NEW YORK CLOSED
AT LOSS OF 20 TO 35.

New York, Dec. 5.-The cotton mar
ket ruled active and excited during
the entire session as a result of fur
ther readjustment growing out of Sat-
urdays government estimate of the
crop placing it about a million bales
above any previous production and as
much above any years takings on
record.
The opening was weak at a decline
of 30 to go points in response to SEN
sationally low cables. Liverpool re-
ported a decline ranging from about
80 to AZ points, and spot cotton was
43 points lower. There was a very
active demand on the opening break
locally. This seemed to come from
recent heavy sellers. while people who
had been fighting the decline of the
last two weeks on the ground that
the trade was er-estimating the
crop, were evidently dumping over
their cotton. The general uncertainty
was increased by reports of disorgan-
lied Southern spot markets and be-
fore the wave of selling could be check
ed the near months were selling about
Al to 60 points net lower with Deem
Der quoted at 7.50c, and January at
Z. 55c. There was an irregular rally
at about this time. The covering of
large blocks by the bears treasured
iOllBS 10 SOliiG tAlCllI anu 4NGW VI
leans sent some less bearish mes
sages to effect that some Southern
banks would stand by interior hold
ers. On every bulge of 10 or Is points,
however, the bears seemed to be put
ting out fresh short lines and further
declines would follow. The market
worked up in an irregular way not
outstanding this until prices were
about Is to 20 points from the low
est with December quoted at z CSC, and
January at tic. This recovery SEEM
ed to attract fresh pressure from par
ties who had been waiting bulge to
sell short on. and was followed by
another decline, taking prices back to
within few points of the previous low
record. Toward the close there was
further covering and the market was
finally very steady at net decline of 20
to IS points. Sales were estimated at
100000 bales

BEAUFORT'S NEW
STEAMER LINE.

Beaufort, S. c., Dec. 5.-Engineer w.
E. Bonneau and Capt. John S. Foster,
who for years have been well known as
skiliful steamboat men in their service
on the Pilot Boy, will start a new line
in March between Beaufort and
Charleston The style of the boat will
be a passenger, freight and propeller
steamer. Her hull will be 100 feet long
with beam of 2S feet. The hull and
boiler are being built in Charleston.
The steamer will use a fore and aft
compound engine, which is under con-
struction at the Trenton. N. j., ma
chine works. The boat is expected to
be completed by March Is. She will
run weekly trips, taking the inland
route all the way, and will touch at ali
landings, which will expedite shipments
of truck and other island products dur
ing the rush season. Her name has not
yet been decided upon.
The owners have been assured by a
number of farmers and business men
here and along the route that their
new enterprise will be rewarded with
a good share of the freight and pas
senger traffic. The new steamer will
also furnish increased facilities for
spring and summer excursions to
Charleston and Savannah.

they represent the largest interests in
the trade. thought the market low
enough at TIC. Sentiment was also in
favor OF a reaction. and as result
prices recovered a part of their early
loss, March advancing to 775c. At
this juncture the details of Saturdays
bureau crop estimate was posted. 1t
showed a reduction in acreage of $40
per cent, to 80, 500, 900 acres, and while
1t failed to give the estimate of lint
per acre, it stated that the estimate
based upon the net weight of bales of
not less than 100000 pounds. which is
the equivalent of a per cent. increase
in the spinning capacity of the crop.
This increase to original estimate of
1882 900 bales, an increase of 2 per
cent. in weight and an allowance for
addition of 2 per cent. for linters.
brought the total indicated crop up to
a spinning capacity of 900 bales,
and the commercial crop up to 12,4O5,0OO
bales. The announcement took all the
starch out of the traders working for
reaction and the market ruled easier
in consequence. At this level of the
market we look for a much better de-
mand for spot cotton, and perhaps a
steadier future market. Spots closed

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward
Wick & Company.
New York, Dec. 5.-Demoralizing in
fluence of the big crop estimate was
too much in evidence this morning to
permit of consideration of the situa-
ton, and cotton was being thrown
over on every hand with previous short
crop years completely forgotten and
prices losing more in ten months than
they have gained in about four years
of under production. Liverpool report
ed a decline ranging from 80 to AZ
points. with spots AZ points lower.
The local market opened 10000 points
lower, with some months selling
around TIC before the wave of liqui-
dation had subsidized. The big bears
bought very literally, checking the de-
cline and the list around midday rail-
lied in an irregular way. The chief
fear was that the South would turn
loose its cotton. Private advices in
dicated something of the sort, but re-
hected, we think, the disposition among
scattering holders at the average atti-
tude

Say That DemOraIized Market Is to
BE Expected for Awhile.

New York, Dec. 5.-After the Wash
lngton estimate, the break of so points
this morning. was not a surprise, in
fact the general steadiness after the
early break was more of a surprise
than the break itself. AS the trade
has been going for some time on the be-
lief that the crop was about $500, 900,
and the bureau would be about II. 3OO,-
O0O there is too much change in the pos
sibllity of 12,500,000 to permit anything
but generalization for a while. The
full effects of this surprising yield OF
cotton cannot be felt all in one day.
In the event of free selling in the
South, we may have a demoralized
market for a week or two. Prices
viii go as much below where they
should as they went up last year.
From Is cents last year all was in
fiation and yet it was impossible to
prevent people buying cotton for high
err prices. They lost their heads. Now
we are like to see the same thing
on the other side. Prices will go as
much too low on a crop of II, 000, 900
and over as they went too high on
crop of 100000 last year. On any
further break now prices IN the South
will be lower than for years. and
when cotton in New York sells for
Z cents this means a price in the
South that will not pay the cost Of
growing cotton.

SPIRITS MADE JUMP
OUTSIDE PRICE AT CLOSE SHOWED
GAIN OF 2 Ia CENTS.
DEvELo PMENT A SURPRISE
IN SPITE OF FACT THAT SOME AD-
VANCE HAD BEEN LOOKED FOR.

Market Closed Saturday at AZ Ii

and Closed at 4O-3O-TOne Firm
Throughout Day Though Business
Was Quiet in Lute HOurs-Chiei
Development in ROsin Market the
Continued Large Shipments.
The spirits of turpentine market
proved a surprise yesterday by bound
ing up in price even more rapidly than
it went down a short time ago. The
firm tone at the close Saturday, to-
gether with the better price paid for
supplies, had naturally led to the ex-
pectation that the Improvement would
be maintained or increased somewhat
on the opening yesterday, but that
prices would jump IA cent to "a cents
from the close of one day to that of
the next was hardly to be expected.
The opening was firm at 47%, an
advance of 1ac over the close 'Satur-
day, while the close was firm at Assoc.
The sales at the opening were 266
casks, and those at the close, ABB. OF
those reported at o'clock, only about
SO casks were at the outside price. The
big jump rather unsettled demand in
the post market trade SO that bust
ness was very quiet after the close,
and. so far as could be learned, no
sales were made.
The receipts of the day were GIG
casks, and the shipments, S25. The
New York market is taking on a
healthier tone and was quoted firm at
SIC, while London had advanced to
3S-1h.
The chief development of the day in
the rosin market was the heavy ex-
ports, amounting to S.949 barrels. These
are not in themselves of unusual size,
but taken in connection with other re-
cent heavy shipments, have caused a
very heavy reduction in the stock
at Savannah, so that what remains
here now is more than $4,000 barrels
short of that carried at the correspond
ing period last season.
The market opened firm and I'M
changed from Saturdays close, except
that f was quoted at two prices, the
outside representing an advance of PIC.
Sales at the opening were 1882 barrels.
No sales were reported at the close, but
after that call sales were made at a
slight advance for paleS and at quo
tations for the remainder of the list,
f going at the inside price. The re-
ceipts were 1850 barrels, and the ship
ments, S,949. The New York market
was quoted dull at $3.50.
