BULL|SH CABLES
STEADY COTTON
Holiday in New York Causes Dull
and Narrow Market-0pinion
Is BuIIish-Bad Weather.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. Am response
to firm cables the local cotton market
opened steady to-day. Initial prices were
unchanged to points higher than Mon
Owing to the holiday in New York
the market ruled extremely dull and
narrow throughout the early session. A
cable from Liverpool stating that Man
chester was doing more business than
reported This encouraged active buy
ing by good people and prices rallied
some to points from the initial range.
Steadiness was also attributed to the
unsettled weather conditions over the
entire belt, except fair in the Atlantic
coast districts, with general precipita-
ton over northwest Texas and over
Oklahoma. Indications are for generally
unsettled weather over the Western and
Central States, with snow and colder
weather in the northern portion, gem
eral rains in the southern portion and
fair In the Atlantics. The whole trou-
BILE with the market was the lack of ag.
gressiveness on the part Of either ele
ment.
opinion here is bullish, but bullish
activity Is delayed by uncertainty in re-
gard to the Cordill estimate and the
Census showing on Saturday.
This Census report will give ginnings
TO November l, compared with 1855, 900
bales last year and s,s71,OOo bales in
1911.
The report will be very important in
Shaping crop views. Inc incentive was
rather toward rapid harvesting and gin
ming and returns should be at least as
full as last year when they were 1885,
600 bales for the period. BY adding this
amount to this years ginnings of g.
$4,000 bales to October IS, ii would
total S.953,000 bales, as the amount like
ly to be shown by Saturdays Census
report. Should gnnings he less, 1t
would be construed as confirming small
crop estimates.
Another factor in checking support at
present is the Mexican situation. 1t Is
possible that the first announcement of
war would have a sentimentally bearsh
effect, followed by bullish consequences
In the first place, interference in Mex
leo would not be nearly as important or
menacing politically as the war in the
Balkans. 1t would rather increase the
need Of manufactured goods and posi-
bly, affect the Western States in respect
to preparations for another crop. The
country has had ample time and warn
ing to be prepared to cope quickly with
the emergency

ers looking for sites to place the i'm
provements
The general impression is that the
locations will be somewhere west of
PeaChtree, in the neighborhood of Ma
rietta and Walton, or Marietta and
Tabernacle place. There has been a
good deal of talk about railroad i'm
provements in this general section,
and announcement of the Seaboard' 3
intentions would cause no great
amount of surprise.
Real estate men expect Marietta
street to be the eaSt-and-W axis
in the retail business world, and they
are anxious that railroad improve
ments be put as far westward as pos
sible, so as to make room for the eX-
pansion of the small trade district.
