 New Orleans, Nov. 30.-There was no re- taxation in firmness of the Southern spot markets over the holiday and as Liverpool. which suspended business today, on account of the dedicating exercises attending the opening of their new S1,000,0O0 Cotton Ex- change, was much better than expected yes terday on American markets were closed, futures at New York and in the local mar ket today, January. New Ofleans advancing twenty-one points to II. %. Although the weeks in sight was estimated to be smaller than early week indications 1t pointing to 521. 900 vs 492,000 last year and 541,0O0 year before last, 1t was rather full all things considered.
 Weather conditions have been favorable and notwithstanding the fact that operat- ors were generally looking for bearish spin ners takings comparatVes this evening, market was supported because of the strength of spots, which. locally. are said to be hc to 3-16c higher with a fair bus mess doing Pending the issuance of the Governments annual crop estimate all fea- lures except developments in the spot de- narfment are heinz lost sight of except perhaps, the prediction as to the probable size of the seasons yield to be made by The New Orleans Times-Democrat, which report receives much consideration and, therefore, has an important bearing upon values when 1t is published. At this time one year ago. the general average of estimates of the trade was for yield of about 1.000.- eco less than 11.346, poo bales, the figures of the commercial crop. Nevertheless. senti- ment overlooks past events and clings for a while to developments of the present day. fearing that the official figures of the Government might strike the mark by chance. Of late crop estimates have been modified, having crystalized upon proba- ble yield of about 12.000. 900 bales and it Is generally expected that the estimate of The Times Democrat and that of the Agricultu- ral Department will be in the neighbor- hood of such a conclusion with chances of their being below rather than above the figure named As an indication of what may be expected. Mir. Price is reported as having issued a forecast for a crop of H. 36O, GOO bales to 11.75O,0OO. Last year prior to the Bureau report of December, his idea of actual growth was 10. s63.0OO bales and for a commercial crop of 1l.45f,000 bales, both of which were approximately correct, especially was 1t so of the latter.
 It The Times-Democrats estimate is be- low 12, GOO, 0O0 bales there is no doubt of the market advancing still furutheF and should such figures be confirmed by the bureau, an old time bull campaign might be inaugural ed irrespective of what the ultimate size of the crop might be and there are many who
