New York, Dec. 1.-The cotton mar
ket was quiet all day. sales being
estimated at only 200.0UU bales. Prices
ru.ed wei below the final ngures OF
last Wednesday. and the market closed
AT neat decline of l6 to L. points.
The opening was easy at a decliEe
cf to I points. Which was ratner
better than due on the Liverpool
cables Private advices attributed the
decline abroai to the Influence OF i
crop estimate issued by New York
authority. placing the commercial
crop at 1,451,O0U bales. anu the uii-
setting influence of the Russian sitE-
alton There was some demand here
through scattering sources. but the
market graduai5y worked off, more
as q result of liquidation by recent
buyers operating on the theory that
a buliiSh crop estimate had been dis-
counted, than through bear pressure.
although some oft he room ira ters
seemed interested in forcing uec'tne
and sucr eedesl in catching few stop
loss orders towards the c.ose. TIE

New York, Dec. 1.-The week draws
to a close with the cotton markets of

over the forthcoming government re-

lhe apprehension is not so much
what the majority of the we'll inform

regard to the size of the crop, but
rather an expression of the fear that
the prestige of the government re-

erroneous ideas and the initiation Of
mistaken speculation by the public.
