and the'eotton market shot up hun
dred points, or cent a pound, as the

be realized for moment, more parti-
culsrly as it was 600, 600 bales less than
expected even by the most conselva-
tive guessers.

from 5000, 100000, even, to $780, ZOO
bales ginned to the 14th inst, and when
the figures were given out at only -
498l65, the market shot up like
rocket and S. value was added to every
bale of cotton held.
And as the farmers and merchants
still hold many thousand sbales, the
eff ct upon financial conditions here
IS we'll. understood.
In Americas the report was awaited
with greatest interest
During the morning there was
nothing doing about the warehouses;,
and long before / O'Clock Ethe 'tslent"

meant so much to the trade.
Americas cotton men had guessed
all the way from 100000 to 5000, 600
bales, and there was a study OF faces
when the report came and it was seen
that all had overshot the mark. Then
they hustled to find the man with cot
ton bales to SELL
During the morning hours ten cents
had been about the top price offered
but with the ginners report the price
was marked up cent for the finest
grades The market closed excited, but
the end is not yet and values will go

AS stated, the ginners report showed
2, 498. 000 bales ginned to Nov. 14th
against 9,786, CAB bales ginned to that
date last year, shortage Of 2,288, 900
