H. & B. BEERS COTTON LETTER.

 New Orleans. Oct. 24.--As Is usually the case on the eve of a census bulletin on the amount of cotton ginned to given date. the market was influenced by preliminary at about 4.50o.oo0 bales were cabled to Liverpool. accompanied by buying orders. the English level of values was enhanced to the extent of about ten points at one ment to longs for the third consecutive time this week, no killing frost being re- ported Liverpools net advance at the close was onl two points on the day.
 It Is expected that the census report of tomorrow will about confirm today's predic tions of about 4.500,000 bales gnned to Oe- tober 18th. against 439l,000 last year. 6,41s.0 year before last, and 3.707.000 in 1903. and on this presumption. leading spec ulators at New York and in the South working for a higher market in order that safe selling basis might be reached and to unload large lines of long contracts on the public. should 1t be hoodwinked into buying in event of the report being as bull ish it's surface as prevailing estimates would Indicate.
 As we have pointed out during the past week fair comparison on ginnings to Oc- tober 18th. with other years is utterly out of the question on account of the unprece- the belt, in the Mississippi Valley, and in the South Atlantic States. during the two weeks beginning with September 24th the date of the last census report, and at that in ginnings when compared with one year ago. consequently 1t Is hardly possible that this shortage could have ben recovered
 Under the circumstances a small ginnings report is to be expected. for had the south ginned as much since September 25th to October 18th, not more than 4.Ssl,o0o bales could possibly be expected and for this for less than 45Oo, GOO bales. and while such figures would undoubtedly look bullish on the surface, the thing to be considered is
