.MED COTTON
ht Estimate of Io,166,S16

Bullish.

te of the cotton crop, issuing fig
s of 1o,167,819 bales OF 500 pounds
ss weight -
FMS was extremely bullish. but its
effect was partly lost in the lndlgna-
ton felt and expressed by the trade
generally. first over the counting OF
the crop in 5oo-pound bales gross
weight, instead of net weight, as has
always been the case in previous es-
Inmates, and secondly over the delay
in issuing the reports which was
scheduled to come out at II O'Clock,
New Orleans time, but which was: not
received Until 1885 P. m:
Immediately after reading the t1g-
cures, March, the nosti:|actlve posi-
tion shot up 142 points, slightly more
than 81 bale. This was an unpre-
cedented advance. Just before the es-
" innate was read, March sold at 11.SS;
the first sales following the estimate
was at u cents, and the next was at
1890. The ring was crowded 20 deep
with brokers who frantically fought

trading was immense. The floor OF
the exchange was crowded with sew
era1 hundred visitors from all parts Of
the south and their cheering when
they knew what the estimate was, add
ed to the roar from the ring. The
gallery was filled with ladies.
( The. delay in issuing the estimate as

ure, hastened profit taking by longs
and so great was their selling that
within a few minutes after March
had touched 1880, it was selling at
1895. The final change for the day
was 6s to 6o points on the active po-
.sit;ons, March closing at 1926 1887.
