ST. MARTINvILLE, LA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 49, 1904.
The price of cotton was held

The price of cotton was held
during the past few days at 5000
per thousand pounds in seed, and
a large quantity was brought to
town. There is yet a quantity of
cotton held ip the country; bat
the crop in yield, will be about
half. the acreage having been
largely increased, the production
of this parish will be perhaps, a
little more than the crop of last
year.

One of our home readers writes
Us this week as follows: "Don't
you think that the behavior Of
some of our illeterate boys need q
little criticism, it SO kindly do so,
as same might be an inducement
for them to leave their bad man
ners at home before leaving for
the theatre i'd the future" Now
this is pretty severe on the boys
because it is proof that some of
them misbehave or display bad
manners that are not agreeable to
their neighbors and to the audi
ence. Unless the boys behave pro-
perry and gentlemanly, we believe
it is the duty of the management
to refund them their money and
show them they way out.

DEMERE & HAMMoND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.


York.
New York Oct. 15.-The price of
January option after selling as high
as 10. CSC during the week, returned to
10 cents level again to-day, and closes
only a few points higher than that fig
ure. A heated controversy is going
on over the extent of the commitments
of exporters for October shipments.
One side claims that a great quantity
of cotton is needed to fill these engage
ments while the other insists that
the forward contracts are much small
er than popularity believed, that they
have already been largely provided for
by the purchases of cotton on the de-
cline. 1t is known that there are now
lying in the single harbOr of New Or
leans vessels with capacity of 400, 900
bales of cotton, but 1t is an open ques-
ton whether all the room has already
been engaged, or whether the ships
are on berth awaiting cargo. which
exporters are not yet ready to give
them. The course of prices during the
next few weeks hinges largely on this
point. If engagements are as suppOs-
ed, then exporters will be forced into
the market whether they will or not,
ana the present pOllcy or FARMERS IN
holding back will be rewarded, other
wise it would be only a question of
, time, when holders would tire of their
load and decide to let go. Under such
circumstances, the longer they put off
selling, the greater would be the load
to dispose of. So far, we must admit
that there is no sign of any general
desire on part of producers to accept
the prices established by the decline.
i- al 90 f1e,,--, 10
selling but receipts at primary points
and the comparative scarcity of offer
ings are indications of a widespread
disposition to await better prices. A
feature, which so far acts as a bearish
argument, is the early expectation of
the census bureau report on cotton
ginned Oct. IS. Last year the
report was issued complete on Nov.
Z. but the department proposes to
publish it piecemeal this season, CIV
ing individual states and possibly even
counties as fast as they can be com
pited

COMMISSIONERS REPORT

New Orleans. Oct. 15.-Spot cotton
quiet; sales, 1850, including, $3.50 to ar
rive.
Futures opened steady at a decline
of 2 to points. There was little do
ing throughout the day About the
middle of the half day session it was
rumored that the commissioners of the
cotton states in convention at Baton
Rouge had make a crop estimate of
11,171,000 but this had no effect on
prices. The market had, after the
opening shown a strong undertone
and prices gradually improved until
they were a shade above yesterdays
finals. In the trading December open
ed 2 points lower at oslo, sold up to
9.S6c, and finally eased off to 984c. The
market closed steady and unchanged

for a week, and then advances in a
day all that it took a week to lose.
This sort of thing is not encouraging
TO a short seller AS far as the pres
ent outlook goes there is nothing to be
short Of cotton on. With this wild
stock market and the betting to 1
on Roosevelt, there is likely to be a
bigger demand from American spin
ners in the near future. They are
now willing to pay 9%c, but the South
won't sell much. Now. when the po-
litical situation is cleared, the buyer is
quite as likely to raise his offer as
the South is to lower his demands. The
market is very steady and buyers
stand ready to take cotton on any de-
cline.

A Bale to the Acre in Emngham.

Guyton, Ga. Oct. 15.-Most of this
seasons cotton crop in Eftingham
county has been picked and ginned
About 200 bales have been shipped
from Guyton this year. This is the
first year that cotton has been plant
ed to any extent in this section OF
Dillingham;, and from the yields that
have been gotten so far, there is nc
question but that the acreage next
season will be more than doubled
There are a number of farmers around
Guyton this season who have made
a bale, or nearly a bale, to the acre
and the average yield has been about
a half bale to the acre.

Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward.
Wick & Co.


Wick e. Co.
New York. Oct. 15.-It has been lit
tie more or less than the usual end
week market, with sentiment bearish.
but the inclination of shorts to cover
for over Sunday offsetting fresh offer
ings and liquidation. Private advices
from New Orleans reported easier tone
to the spot market, and private wire
from Savannah from trustworthy
sources stated that there was no de-
mand there at 15-16c for good mid
ding. and little offering. The cables
were lower than due, as result of
hedging, and spot cotton I'm the English
markets was points lower, with sales
OF 5000 bales-pretty good, as they have
been running for a Saturday. The
weather over the South could scarcely
have been better, and while one or two
points in North Carolina reported frost,
this was at temperature of 40 de-
grees, not sufficient to do harm, and
the forecast was for excellent weather.
Local sentiment is undoubtedly becom-
ing bearish and small crop reports are
becoming less popular. We notice, how
ever. that the New York Commercial,
whose cotton editor has Just completed
a tour of the Southern states and
whose judgment is conceded to be ex-
cellent places the crop at 10, $50. 600
DaiDs, Of very near to the estimate
of our own correspondents made last
month. On the whole, we think prices
are now approaching the level where
spot holders viii, offer less freely and
mills buy again more literally. and,
therefore, the level at which purchases
for another advance can be under
taken with some degree OF confidence
even should the market go a little
lower before the reaction occurs.
