SHARP ADVANCE IN TIE COTTON MARKET Publication of Ginners' Peport
 is the Cause MOVEMENT SENSATIONAL
The Market Opened Steady With the Expectation That the Report Would Prove Bearish-Only 7,498,167
 Bales Ginned to Nov. IA.

New York, November 21.-The glnners report, published at noon, showing only 7.49s.167 bales ginned to November II. while estimates averaged around s,000,000 just before the report was published, was followed by one of the quickest and most violent advances in the history of the cotton market. The close was officially described as excited and irregular at a net advance of 79 to S3 points Sales were estimated at 800000, of which fully 100000 bales were transacted in the last hour of trading.
 The market opened steady at a net ad- vance of to ' points in response to bet ter cables than expected. Before the re- port was issued, the market was very quiet and ruled somewhat irregular with prices gradually sagging back to about the closing figures of yesterday, in ex- pectation that the report would prove bearish, and up to general estimates cir culating recently placing it at from about 7,Svu,000 to s,2Oo,00O bales. When the report was issued, the market became sensation ally active and excited and inside of ten minutes had recovered the recent losses, and sold at new high level for the sea- son. with January touching 11.7O; March. 11.76; May, 11.95, and July, 1.sS, or about 97 to 1OS points net higher, and 1l0 to 123 points abovey the low level of Monday. There was great confusion after the ad. vance and prices moved 10 to F points between sales.
 Local professionals, who had counted on a bearish report, were heavily short of the market, and were thrown into veritable panic by the low figures. At the advance there was heavy realizing and prices eased back about 20 points from the top, bull ish crop estimates were based on the report, and the undertone showed the con tinued nervousness of the remaining short interest.
 Receipts at the ports today 1015 bales against ,015 last week and lO2,424 last year. For the week. estimated, S10,OO0 against 391, Gil last week and 373,S72 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 2S, ,754 against 31 ,317 last year, and at Hous- ton 30,Sn against 20.S03 last year.

aIbert 6 cIay,s Market Letter.

The action of the Liverpools market to- day evidenced the belief that values were low enough and manipulation was not so apparent there as 1t has been recently.
 Cable comments were generally bullish, believing that census figures of even s. 100000 bales had been discounted. A good undertone existed and there were signs of change In the situation of the New York manipu1ator.
 During the earlier hours of the session trading in our markets was exceptionally light, and there were evidences that ac- counts had been adjusted to meet the census report. Prices were few points higher, and the majority of operators were inclined to favor the long side upon the belief that if a decline resulted it would be temporary, and possibly only momentary
 The early stagnation proved to have been the veritab1e calm before the storm, for with the announcement of the gin- ners figures, the widest excitement en- sued, and first trades after the advance represented gain of B bale, and proved to be cheap purchases.
 The report of only 7,49S, 900 bales ginned to November IA completely answered all the contentious of the bulls. and was al- most & repetition of the National Gin ners' association figures. which met with such a cold reception. Doubtless their es- inmates of the unginned proportion of tho crop will now attract more attention.
 The census report leaves very few minds in doubt concerning the actual crop disaster and we believe that a higher range of values must obtain for the ball ance of the season.

Ware 6 LeIand,s Market Letter.

Being report day, the market was about what was to be expected. The tone was characterized by feverishness and uncer- tainty, with a rather firm undertone, mo- tlceable early, followed by easiness just before the report was expected at o'clock.
 There seemed to be a general disposi- tion to even up the market interests. those long taking advantage of the early advance to sell out cotton and those who were short yesterday had been inclined to cover before the figures were received. Liverpool advanced rather sharply on the receipt of small crop estimates from this side, and this led to considerable steadi- ness here early In the day. The market itself was characterized more by the linn ited amount of business done than by ac- tlvity. All interests were disposed to await the figures before undertaking new obli- gations. This attitude seemed to be in every way advisable, as there can be no question about the importance of the gin ming report today, and of the government on December 8.
 It was evident during the morning that several large short lines of cotton were being covered and 1t looked as though many were beginning to buy moderately and were willing to buy more in the event of a break following large figures from Washington today This buying support ed the market, and led to general steadi- ness though there was nothing more than a marking time as far as definite operating was concerned. The average operator looked for figures between 7900,00o and B. 100000 As the weather has been extremely favorable the majority were disposed to look for figures that on the surface would appear bearish. rather than otherwise. There has been no radical change in crop ideas, and the production is thought to be such that enough cotton will have to he taken from aIinnIv fp result in a very stiff price for some time to come.

The general impression here was that the government bureau ginners report would be from 100000 to S,000,000, and when the report was read giving the figures as 7,49s167 bales, wild scene was witnessed about the ring of the cotton exchange.

A TENDENCY TO REALIZE

New York, November 21.-This was an- other day of very broad and active specu- lation in the stock market Plenty of evil dence of the strong absorptive power of the market was shown, and there were signs as well of the extension of in- terest in outside quarters attracted by the rise in prices of the last few days. But 1t was obvious also that a liberal distribution of holdings was going on to take advantage of the growth of in- terest
 The violent advances in prices which have occurred offer such handsome profits in many cases that the inducement to realize on holdings is strong The mar ket showed the effects of this move ment as the day progressed and became irregular and at times reactionary Some stocks were affected by profit taking up- on the announcement of good news while in a few cases the character of the pres sure upon stocks gave the impression of some positive factor of weakness. In the latter class were the Metropolitan transaction stocks. In the former was Atlantic Coast Line. The action of that stock proved that the demand on ac- count of the proposed increase in the di- vidend had been filled mostly before the announcement of the increase which came today. On the report that the semi annual distribution had been increased from 2i5 to per cent, the stock ran off. Its previous strength had been an im- portant factor in the wide-reaching move ment among southern railways, and in dustrial stoclSs which has been large sustaining force in the market recently. A supplementary influence in the same group was an emphatic disclaimer from officials of the companies concerned that merger of southern iron and steel com panies was in contemplation. The check to the advance in this group was con- siderable influence upon the whole market. but there were abundant off-setting in- huences The most conspicuous was amongst the stocks centering about the metal, mine and smelting industries.
 Yesterdays increase in the dividend by the Calumet and Hecla company was a continued influence in the group today The upward flight of prices in the metals which make up the product of these com panies, especially copper, lead and silver was naturally strengthening influence. Besides that there were constant rumors afoat of projects working out for further

Loveman a Co.'s Market Letter.

As is generally the case, the unexpected happened once more, the census ginners' report on amount of cotton ginned to November IA proving to have been bullish instead of bearish. as the trade was look ing for. The quantity of cotton ginned was 7,49S,167 bales, against 6.4S3,64 bales on November 1; 97s6. 646 bales to November IA last year and 6.S15.162 bales to Novem- Der IA. 1903 Just prior to the reading of the bulletin March contracts were selling at 10 93 The next sale was made at an advance of about 8 per bale, 11.50 for March, and within the short period of fraction of a minute. Former bureau days were put to blush. when compared with the excitement and heavy trading that followed the announcement, and all though the market worked 36 points high CT, March selling at 11.S6, an advance of no points, when compared with yester- days low level of 1076, it was only the realizing by satisfied longs that prevented March from crossing the 12-cent mark.
