ment In Exchange.
New Orleans, Dec. 6.-Monday on the
Cotton Exchange was easily the Wild
est in its history The bureau of sta
tissics of the department of agricul-
ture made its annual estimate of the
cotton crop. issuing figures of 10.l67,-
SIS bales Of 500 pounds gross weight.
This was extremely bullish. but its eff
feet was partly lost in the indignation
felt and expressed by the trade gen
orally, first over the counting of the
crop in 500 pound bales gross weight,
instead of net weight, as has always
been the case in estimates. and also
the delay in giving out the report
which was scheduled to come out at II
O lock. New Orleans time. which was
not received until 1885 p. m.
Immediately after reading of the fig
ures. March. the most active position.
shot up 142 points. slightly more than
81 bale. This was an unprecedented
advance. Just before the estimate was
read March sold at 11.sSc, the first sale
following the estimate was at 10 cents
and the next at 1890. The ring was
crowded twenty deep with brokers who
frantically fought to fill their buying
orders. The volume of trade was i'm
mense. The floor of the exchange was
crowded with several hundred visitors
from all parts, of the south. and their
cheering. when they knew what the
estimate was. added to the roar of the
ring. The gallery was filled with la
dies.
The delay in issuing the estimate. as
well as the use of gross bales. as, "A

longs selling out within few minutes
after March had touched 1890 cents it
was selling at 1886. The net change
for the day was an advance of 60 to 60
points on the active positions, March
closing at 1876 to 1887.
Much figuring was done after the
estimate was made known and II was
shown that if the estimate had been
made in the same form as II was made
last year. that in bales of 500 pounds
net weight the estimate Monday would
have read 9,659,427, as a full per cent
