COTTON ADVANCES
 il II f POINTS Trading Was Quiet and FIuctu-
 at!onS Irregular SPOT NEWS VAS BULLISH
Private Estimate fo' Crop of 1o,o3s,ooo Bales Had Favrabe Influence. The Closing Vas Within a
 Point or Two of Top.

New York, December 1.-The cotton market was quiet oday with fuctua- tions irregular. The epse was very steady at net advance of l to r points. Sales of the day were estlnated at 2O0OOO bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in response to better cables than expected, and after some little irregularity sold up to a net advance of P to 14 points on covering by recent sellers, and some sharp buying by local professionals based on bullish spot news, and tho big spot sales in the English market
 A private estimati of 12,03S,O GOO also seemed to have a favorable influence on the market, but thd upward movement seemed to be attracting no outside sup port, and during the middle of the aft ernoon prices sagged Diff under liquidation by early buyers.
 Just before the cltse of the market it was firmer again oi local buying, and the last prices were within a point or two of the top.
 Receipts at the porls today, S5,SS4 bales, against 54,97S last week and 49644 last year.

H. & B. Beers Cotton Letter to c. H.
 Cothran, Manager.

New Orleans, December 5.-The market ruled comparatively steady and some- what higher today as a result of the en- couragement received from Liverpool and where futures show but little change, compared with yesterdays closing levels and where spots were reported in good demand, but at a decline of points. Sales 14,000 bales
 At one time during the day the local market scored an advance of about 15 points, March advancing to 1O.57, but as the buying was of local character the public refrained from support, on ac- count of a large movement of cotton to the market and uncertainties attending the two government reports to be pub lished next week.
 It is a foregone conclusion that the census report will show at least 10000 900 bales ginned to December l. compared with about s.70O000 to the same date one year ago and that believers in large crop ideas will become more confident than ever that the years production will be upward of 13.D00,GO0 bales

 The effect is to confirm hopeful senti- ment over the outlook of values. This sentiment was apparent in fact in the stubborn manner in which stocks yielded to the money market inconvenienees.
 The dull and obstinate resistance was shown up to the closing. The 32 mark, touched for the call loan rate, is the high est since the first week in September. when money went to 40 per cent, and the banks reported a deficit at the end of the week.
