COTTON LETTER. Private Wire to Waiter COtter


 New Orleans, Dec. S.--Restriction of enterprises on account of close ap- preached to the two most important Government publications, combined with the usual Saturday dullness, caused very narrow markets today. A favorable supply statement for the week, better Liverpool than looked for, further encouraged expectations of bullish reports on Mohuay and Tues day, and there was enough buying by shorts to sustain prices. With regard to the Census report to be published Monday l p. m.. general expectation has been reduced to about 10,100, ,000; ginnings below 9,95O,0OO would be re- gartied as bullish. Above 12,250,OO0 is now the favorite guess of the Bureau estimate, but this view Is no doubt sub ject to considerable modification, ac- cording to the showing made by the census.
 About 1900 spots were sold yester- day after hours, but the demand was very. quiet today and rumors of con- sessions being offered to buyers caused futures to weaken in the last hours. A sharp break in the rate of exchange is working against exporters
 Forecasts Of receipts for Monday are large. Truly yours,
