Cothran, MANAGER.

New Orleans. La, December T.-Liver-
pool. for some reason or another, ap-
pears to be losing faith in long side Of
market values there closing at decline
of about five points, when an advance
of about three points was expected. Pri-
vate cables reported less demand for ae-
tua1 cotton, and the small sales, 5000
bales. would seem to indicate that such
was the case and as the days arrivals
at Liverpool were 1900 bales. sentiment
was probably influenced on that account.
The fact that the official bulletin of the
census department, recently issued,
showed shortage of 1856, 739 bales in GIN
ners' returns of production for growth of
1905, and the official announcement of d.
rector North to the effect that a COM
plete record of quantity of cotton is not
possible unless the ginners report ac-
eurately the output of their gins, might
have made a bad impression upon Eu-
ropeans who may see fit to discredit the
census reports for the balance of this
season. since the actual results of last
years gnnings are said to have been
11,163OOo bales, after including linters
and repacks against about 10,726,o00 bales.
as were originally reported as last years
actual growth. Be it said to the credit
of census department, however, a more
careful canvass is being made of gins
this year, and it is hoped that the re-
turns at close of year will be more in
keeping with actual results than were
those of one year ago. 1t is possible.
however that Europe will endeavor to
make capital of official confession as to
ginners reports of last year having been
wrong but they might have the oppor-
tunity to realize, and to their regret, that
returns of this year have been more in
keeping with actual reports, or rather re-
suits.
Shorts find much consolation in the
leage movement to market, receipts be-
ing ever so much larger than last year
and year before for this period of year.
Longs are comforted just as much in
the large outflow of cotton to Europe
and while port stock have increased of
late 1t only represents cotton at relay sta
tons In course of transit to foreign
shores.

COTTON IS QUIET
AND IRREGULAR
Days fluctuations Are Within
Narrow Range
SALES WERE $4,000 BALES
Uncertainty Was Evident as to the
Probable Showing of the Census
Report at the End of
the Week.
SALES WERE $4,000 BALES

New York, December 1.-THE cotton
market was very quiet today and prices
nuctuated irregularly within narrow
of las points. Sales were estimated at
10000 bales.
The opening was steady at a decline of
Gao points in response to lower cables
than expected There was a scattering
demand from shorts and prices rallied to
within 264 points of Saturday nights
finals after the call. There was no agrees
sive bull support, however, and the mar
l1et eased off again during the morning as
a result of the large estimate for tomor-
rows receipts at Houston and selling by
Wall street. At the decline covering was
again a feature, and in the afternoon the
market ruled generally steady, with prices
working or points from the lowest.
The activity and wide fluctuations of last
week appeared to have been accompanied
b. the evening up of most of the scatter
ing interest in the market, and there
was IN inclination to wait fresh develop
ments before entering into new commit
ments particularly in view of approach
ing holidays and uncertainty as to the
showing of the census report at the end
of the week.
Receipts at the ports today 64,4S7 bales,
against 64,793 last week and 1919 last
year For the week, 100000 bales, against
416161 last week and 241,773 last year.
Ioday's receipts at New Orleans, 23515
bales, against 3,732 last year, and at
Houston, 1866 bales against 6473 last
year.
