COTTON PRICES
 TENDING SEWARD Market Is Active and Higher
 on Better Demand
CROP ESTIMATE BULLISH
Members of the New York Cotton Ex- change Make an Average Estimate 11,773,ooo Bales, Which Adds
 To Upward Movement.

New York November 26.-The market had quite a sharp advance today, with the close steady, at a net gain of to 10 points. Sales for the day were esti- mated at 30o,o0 bales. Tire market open ed steady at a decline of points to an advance of points and in spite of rather better cables and big English spot sales, sold off to a net decline of to 6 points during the early session, under realizing or liquidation In the absence of bull support. At the decline, how ever, there was a better demand and in the early afternoon the market became active and firm with prices working up to net gain of 25 to 27 points on the active months, as a result of Wall street bull support and covering by local shorts. who were probably influenced by bullsh private estimates of the crop. Later the market lost several points under realiz- ing, but there was a fairly good under tone at the close of the market
 Members of the New York Cotton Ex- change estimate the crop at figures rang ing from 1o,75o,oOO to 13.2o0,OOO bales. the average beling 11,77s.oe0 bales, which would tend to show that the local trade is looking for a crop of slightly under 100000 bales. The advance during the middle session was probably helped by the light interior movement which would suggest firmness on the part of the holders.
 Receipts at the ports today. 67,025 bales, against 6S,216 last week, and 69,613 last year. For the week 35O,O0o. against S5l.. 533 last week and 4o2. .1Ss last year To- days receipts at New Orleans, Is, ,7S6 bales. against 17.s48 last year.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, November 26.-Cotton spots were firm at an advance of hc on all grades. Middling, II 1-16c; sales were 1900 bales on the spot and 1850 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet, to points be- low the close yesterday, as result of bearish adyices from other markets Lack of support after the call caused a still further recession in values. An ad- vance largely sentimental in It's charac- ter was brought about soon after the opening. when it was announced that the Bank of France had taken a large quan- tity of American treasury certificates. From the moment of this announcement confidence in the finances of the country was largely revived and bullsh sentiment was thereby promoted. The advance was immediate and prices continued to go up until gain of 15 points over the opening figures was recorded. This strong bulllsh undertone, with the restored confidence in the financial situation as feature, brought about still further advance in the late session and at the close, which was steady, the active months ranged from F to 19 points above the close yos- terday.

The Fallen Idol.

From Harper's Weekly.
 It seems a bit odd to read paragraphs like this in the daily papers:
 The President returned to Jersey City as he had left 1t, almost unnoticed. He came out on the platform of his car as the train pulled out soon after 1 o'clock and waved his hat to the people in the station. Some one yelled. Three cheers for the President" but there was no re- sponse.
 Time was-but what's the use?
