MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS
Cotton Market


NEW YORK. Dec. 1e-E. F. Hutton & Co.'s
wire says:
The market today for future delivery was in
active during the greater part OF the day, but
the undertone remained firm as ever. for the
reason that there is none who is yet willing to
make a stand the short side, even though
prices are considered high and mills claim that
they will soon have TO curtaf because they can
not see profit in turning l5c cotton into either
yarn or cloth. The confirmation by the British
government of its estimate of the Indian crop
this year. which Is placed at 4.e6s.000 bales of
400 pounds. against the governments estimate
Of the actual outturn last year Of 4,502, 900
bales, caused some confusion, in view of the
many private cables which have been received
recently, indicating crop Of about 300, 900 bales
less than last year, and while 1t Is confidently
believed that mistake has been made in
the comparison. as the matter stands IL appears
that the argument that the increased American
crop over last year is Offset by decrease In the
Indian crop must be abandoned. Operators look
for narrow. waiting market until after the
census report next Tuesday.
The cotton goods trade is beginning to feel
that a sharp curtailment OF production will
necessarily be early in the new year. unless
there is a decided improvement in conditions.
SpInners' takingE, $40, 900 bales against 324,
600 last year. Very bullish figures.
Spot closed quiet, points lower. Middling

Total

i'tdi 4I0, ,ooo %SoG, sOo
The pack in 1905 was 2.61j, ,S52 cases. of which
1.607.234 were Alaska reds.
From the foregoing figures you will note there
is shortage of 100000 cases of Alaska red
salmon; this is more than Offset by the increase
in the pack of other grades, particularly pirks
and chums.
The salmon market is stronger than ii has
been for years Alaska red opened at S1.35 and
none can be had today under ST 80. Medium red
was freely offered early in the at from
SLID TO S1-25; it can not he had today under
$1-40 But the most surprising feature of the
Alaska pack is the tremendous advance In pinks
and chums- As you know. opened price on
pinks at soc and on chums at TT3c. Today it
Is impossible 10 purchase pink under SIZE and
chums can not be bought at any price, the last
lot sold at Csc.
This proves TO that have been right IN
contending for years that pink salmon had been
selling entirely too cheap, and we quite
sure that nobody familiar with the salmon bust
ness will contend that there is such difference
between the quality Of red and pink salmon as
! to Justify the difference in price that has ruled
during the last few years. We predicted months
ago that pink salmon would eventually come into
its own, and it certainly has this year. Deal
ers all over the world now appreciate that pink
salmon has real merit. and we do not expect to
ever see the price rule as low it has in the
past.
