New York, Dec. 1.-THE cotton market broke
wide open to-day on the estimate Of the Bureau of
Statistics. which places the crop at l2543O00 bales
exclusive Of linteTs. which are estimated bY the
trade from 25e,e00 TO $500 bales. The estimate
vas a stunning surprise 10 the whole trade as It
was thought the bureau estimate might be under
100000 bales. The report # the census on cot
ton ginned uD 70 December ! does not indicate a
crop as large that figured ont by the bureau
Trading was demoralized for awhile and March
option which had been selling at about lOI0 broke
to $50 in a few minutes There was a rally on
short covering. Port receipts estimated At g. $50

COMMISSION STOP HEARING.
Thought II Had Complaint Instead
of Request to Interpret Law.

The hearing on the request of the Great
Northern Railroad Company against
coastwise steamers engaged in carrying
commodities TO make them amenable to
the interstate commerce law, yesterday
came to an abrupt end without a decision.
II was the purpose Of the railroad com
pany to show that a vessel carving
goods from any part OF the United States
to foreign adjacent port can make n
more advantageous rate TO the shipper
than the railroad company
We want the law so construed" said
counsel for the Great Northern, that the
coastwise steamers will be held amen
able To the law or give US the authority
to meet the situation as it develops"
We We're under the impression" said
Chairman Knapp, that we were to hear
a complaint from your road. but if that is
the situation. we will let the matter go
over until later. In the meantime. If we
should come to a decision. we will advise
various counsel
