Lovenan & Co.'S Market Letter.

Liverpool was quite weak this morn Ing, partly as a natural reaction from a too rapid rise of values and partly owing to the unsettled news received from Russia. where another general strike is threatened and mutinies of troops have occurred at several important places. Our market held rather steady through out the greater part of the day bouyed up by reports of frmness of spot holders in the South. Towards the close, however, some selling the rather large receipts and bear pressure prices sold off and closed about 20 points below last night. The public Is rather cautious about oper- ating before the Thanksgiving holiday. and the important bureau estimate next Monday. The demands for high margins which brokers are generally exacting are no doubt to a large extent responsible for this falling off in public demand. Spinners seem determined also to hold off until the bureau report shall be out of the way.
 Bales In Liverpool today only 5000. Ca bles are being received painting gloomy future for Manchester trade as a result of high prices for American cotton. Spot holders throughout the south with few exceptions continue very firm and sell only at top prices. Full movement in spots does not alarm them, as it has been their experience throughout the sea- son that short sales have had to be GOV cred almost invariably at loss. The New Orleans Times-D Democrat estimate will have some influence tomorrow. since it's figures will be published before Fridays opening. There is much speculation as to its probable estimate.
 Liverpool is due 3 points lower in the morning.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-11-29
Gilbert & cIay's Market Letter.

The close of the English market today was ten to twelve points lower than en- pected, and spot sales of only six thou sand bales at points decline was disappointing.
 There was sufficient resistance in our markets to prevent the reflection of the of the full decline at Liverpool. Liquida- ton was reported as liberal and causes were free movement of spots at prevailing level with tendency to accumulate stocks at ports.
 While 1t is true that the movement of cotton at the present time does not on the surface indicate correctness of the very small crop ideas recently promul- gated there is at the same time consider able weight of evidence from all sections of the belt that nearly all the cotton crop has been gnned and that later on the movement will fall off sharply. In any event, producers are now receiving price for the staple that pays them handsome profit and at the same time strengthens their ability to hold the remainder of the crop for the 15 cent basis sug gested by the head of the Southern Cot ton Growers association.
 In some quarters it is feared that the government crop estimate will be over ten million, but as anything under ten and a half million should be considered bullish, we feel that conservative pur- chases made at or arounc present levels will be found to be good property.
 Miss Giles Is expected to issue her usual estimate tomorrow

ESTIMATE COMES MONDAY

New York November aS.-The cotton market was less active today. Business appeared to be largely in the way of evening up for Thanksgiving, and in an- ticipation of the government crop esi- mate, expected next Monday, and which selling for long account considerably In evidence. The market closed at about the lowest point of the session, or a net decline of 13Q20 points. Sales were esti- mated at 500000 bales.
 The opening was easy at a decline of 7Ql2 points in response to lower cables. and the outlook for big receipts. The de- cline was increased soon after the open ing to a matter of 13@14 points when in- dications that December notices were be- ing promptly taken care of, caused partial rally which, however, was follow ed by renewed weakness under scattering liquidation and selling by room traders for a turn. After selling off 10 net decline of Is to 19 points the market was again rallied or points by cover ing, but once more weakened toward the close with January selling at 1l.15 and March at 11.61 The close was steady in tone, but within polnt or two ol the lowest. Southern spot markets were 1sc lower to i4c higher. It was the first De cember notice today and 1t was estimated that about 25,00o bales out of the large local stock were rendered. With Decem- Der selling 17q9o points under January, spot people bought all the December of- fering against sales of the latter month.
 Receipts at the ports today ,521 against 101 ,546 last week and 79,734 last year. For the week (estimated) 350,0o0 against S91,- 090 last week. and 3S7,267 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 2o,SoS against 22,017 last year. and at Houston 21, GOA; against 25, ,406 last year.

market made wide inroads in these ad- Vances, and carried the average level of prices elsewhere well below last night. The most conspicuous example of strength among the standard stocks was St. Paul, with It's 21s-point rise.
 Reiterated rumors of an early issue of US treasury stock to stockholders and the extension or the system to the Pacific coast were used again to stimulate the speculation in the stock. Attention was attracted to the money situation by the heaVy transfers to interior points through the sub-treasury and by an engagement or gold at the sub-treasury which was sus- pected to be intended for export Chi eago exchange also returned to par The days report of the sub-treasury opera tons, however, showed a loss by the pahks to that institution since the last bank statement of $1, 4S1, 900. while A credit balance at the clearing house this morn ing indicated a still further absorption. san Francisco took another round million collars With intimations of possible fur ther requirement, while S2OO0OO went to New Orleans The $750 900 gold engaged at the sub-treasury Is expected to go to south America, and this is a demonstra- ton or the ability of the London market to draw on New York to meet it's South American obligations.
