$500 RISE IN COTTON
CENSUS SHOWS ONLY $4,000
BALES GINNED.
December Advanced From 1891 to
14.49-Rise Followed Decline
Of 40 Points.

Memphis, Tenn.-There was an adj
vance of $2.75 to So per bale in the
cotton market Tuesday, while trading
was active and at times excited.
The rise followed a decline of ITO
to 100 points, which eliminated on
Monday evening, but whereas the de-
cline occupied more than a week, the
advance was the doing of one day.
The moving factor was the report on
cotton ginned to October Is by the
census bureau, showing a total of
5,41O,0 900 bales, and some of the most
bearish predicted 100000 bales.
Last year there was ginned to this
date $4,000 900 bales, and the crop was
only 100000 bales. In 1908 there
was ginned 6,294,00O and the crop was
13,S25,000 bales. The crop this year
is late, but the bulls claim that, al
lowing for that, the ginning is too
small to justify claims for anything
more than a crop of 11,500,0 0 bales.
The showing was SO surprising to
bears that for the moment they ap-
peal without argument, although the
weather continues most favorable and
crop reports from the Atlantic states
say that the yield has been greatly
increased by delayed frost and the
pleasant weather.
On the decline Southern spot mar
kets gave way and it was feared that
the position was being greatly weak
ened and that holders might become
demoralized. Stimulated by the small
ginning returns ne days news was
that these holders we're advancing

THIRTY POINTS LOSS.
Cotton Failed to Hold Big Rise, and
Spinners Didn't Buy.

New York.-More than half of Tues
days big advance was lost in the
cotton market Wednesday under
heavy general realizing and active

ports that the census figures haG

mills and that the advance ha(
