DEMERE & HAMMOND's
Daily Cotton Letter From New YorI

Daily Cotton Letter From New York.
New York, Dec 3O-The final in
stalment of ginners' report has at last
been published, seventeen days after
the date when returns were made up
by ginners. All agitation on the sub
ject, it is evident that this delay was
not accidental, but was due to the
absence of returns from number of
ginners in different parts of country.
Spot markets throughout. the South
showed evidences of a better demand
for mill accounts, and it looks as if
spinners are willing to buy around
present prices. There has been a good
deal of short covering to-day to take
down profits, just as there was in adj
vance of Christmas, and there are
confident predictions that the reopen
ing on Tuesday will see another eX-
hibtion of weakness, such as we saw
last Tuesday. 1t must be remembered,
however, that prices are much lower
than they were then, and further, that
there is no disquieting feature like a
ginner's report due within the next
few days. The market, therefore, will
be governed by legitimate forces of sup
ply and may be at this level is the un-
known quantity, and unless it develops
into a large volume it is more than
probable that the demand from mills
will prevent further decline. No mat
ter how bearish the situation may be,
the worst features are discounted at
this level. and it only will be a ques-
tion for the trade to solve as whether
this level is sufficient to induce in
vestment buying by outsiders and ac-
emulation by the mills
Liverpool is due to higher Tues
day

SHORTS DISAPPOINTED
IN GINNERS' REPORT.

New York. Dec. 30.-The cotton mar
ket was much less active. but while
very irregular, was steadier on the
whole, closing to-day with a moderate
recovery of recent losses. The opening
was firm at an advance of 12013
points which was hardly a full re-
Spouse to the cables reporting an adj
vance of 12d13 points for futures, and
of IA points for spot cotton in the Eng
lish market, while private cables re-
ported small Southern offerings and
fresh buying as a cause of the strength.
After the call here there was a grad
ual renewal of bear pressure, and by
midday prices had sagged off 10 about
or little under the closing level of
yesterday. The final installment of
the ginners' report was issued at mid
day. 1t was if anything, a little dis
appointing to some of the smaller
shorts, who had been reckoning on tue
report, showing slightly over 10000. 600
bales, and may have been responsib BILE
for some covering. In a general way.
ii had no effect. however although the
market during the afternoon ruled gen.
orally steadier on a demand, which was
credited to Wall street shorts, and
was finally very steady, net 10 to IA
points higher. Sales were estimated
at 100000 bales. The into sight figures
for the week came to only 35G. 1863 bales,
against 424.276 bales last year, and the
outlook for receipts for the immediate
future seemed to be light, but this
does not seem to be having the effect
of discrediting the ginners' report. al
though that document is meeting with
some criticism.
The market will be closed tomorrow
Saturday, and will not reopen until
Tuesday after New Years.
The Liverpool market. as well as
New Orleans, will also be closed on
these DAYS.

Say Cotton Market Is No Longer a
Thing OF Speculation.

New York, Dec. 30.-Prices have
crashed to figure that is not only
the lowest since 1899, but that is way
below the actual cost of growing cot
ton on plantations. 1t seemed as
though holders of cotton tried to sell.
The fact of the matter is that the
speculator has in reality sold cotton
for the grower, as the grower himself
still seems to regard prices as too low
to suit his ideas This is shown in
the ridculously small movements.
while there seems to be nothing as
yet in the complexion of the market
that would attract speculation, buying
for a rise in prices, and yet every one
knows that when any commodity gets
below the cost of production it is sim
ply a question of time when the in
evitable advance takes place. There is
nothing as certain i'm the entire field
of investment as the gradual purchases
of indestructible commodity at an eX-
cessively low price. This much is said
of the cotton market, now in the hand
of the bear Spectator, VINO is making
prices as relentlessly low as the bull
speculator made them ridfcuiously high
in January Of this year. That is that
the market is no longer a thing of
speculation. The persistent downward
swing of the pendulum may carry the
market to or 51a or again the mar
ket may be scraping bottom as we
write. No man can guess the low
point, but cotton is now an invest
ment on which profits are certain to
accrue. though such profits may be
long deferred. We wish you all a
prosperous and happy New Year.
