New York, Nov. 3.-Smaller esti-
mates of the crop and southern ad-
vices claiming that there was more
damage from the recent cold wave
than previously realized, impaired a
general firmer tone to the cotton mar
ket today and the close was firm at a
net advance of to Is points. The
market opened steady at decline of
to points under overnight selling
orders and in sympathy with indif-
ferent cables but soon rallied on sup
port from leading bull operators and
improved gradually during the day on
the demand from the source together
with covering by recent sellers who
appeared to be Influenced by bullish
southern crop adviceS and the strong
character of some of the buyers.
Closing prices were only shade off
from the top under realizing. 1t was
reported during the day that the av-
erage estimates of members of the
Savannah cotton exchange was H.
100000 bales and that members Of
the Augusta exchange estimated the
crop at 11.S00,0O0 bales compared
with yesterdays rumored estimates by
other authorities of 100000 and re-
Gently published estimates ranging
from a little over twelve and half
million up to 12,900.000. These esti-
mates by southern exchange members
appeared to create considerable buying
power here in connection with numer-
Gus private advices covering nearly all
the late sections of the belt and indi-
eating that the recent cold wave had
done serious damage; the inference
being apparently that the larger esti-
mates of the yield had been compiled
before the full extent of the frost
damage had been made known.
Southern spot markets officially re-
ported early were unchanged TO l-Sc
lower. There were reports here dur
ing the day of a better export demand
in the south and private cables sug-
gested that the European trade has
paid comparatively little attention to
the larges estimates recently circu-
