WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Government Estimate of Cotton Crop Contributing
 Cause of Decline

New York, December 1.-The cotton market has been very nervous and un- settled since the publication of the governments crop estimate. This of f1cial view of the yield was considered In line with bullish expectations but failed to create any aggressive buying power and the market weakened under general realizing or liquidation. After a break of about 95 points the market was steadied by an active demand from Liverpool straddle shorts, whose oper- ations were said to show them very attractive profits, but ralleis of 25 to 40 points were followed by renewed weakness and the market was lower again with March contracts selling at 11.9Sc, or $5.10 per bale below the high price touched imm ediately after the publication of the ginning report last week. The continued light export move ment and talk of full ginning returns for the first December period, doubt less contributed to the nervousness of sentiment during the progress of the decline, while there also seemed to be less optimism with reference to peace prospects and more or less uneasiness over international politics. Reports of relatively steady southern spot mar
 
 the bullish view of the domestic goods market encouraged the rallies during the middle of the week while there was probably some buying on the whole census and distribution buraeus show ing a consumption of 592,795 bales, in cluding 1inters, in this country during November. The statements considered in line with estimates placing domestic requirements at about 7,000,000 bales. including linters, and part of the de- mand on declines has been attributed to trade interests against price fixing by spinners. With further advances re- ported in ocean freight rates, however the demand from Liverpool seemed to be less active toward the close of the week and the unfavorable view of the export situation was strengthened by reports that British shipping interests had been officially instructed that their steamers from southwestern ports should carry at least 50 per cent of grain in their cargoes, thus curtailing the freight room available for cotton. It is reported that the official esti- mate of the area planted to cotton in India up to October 1 shows decerase of 27 per cent compared with last year.

Called His Bluff

From the Hartford Courant
 There are a lot of four-flushers who go through life without learning that four flushing is a fine art Such are beneath contempt. But one has great admiration for those few who have mastered the game.
 If man called me liar" asserted one of such, "Fd sail in and lick him if he weighed 300 pounds
 Well, you big bluff" answered one who was tired of listening, T call you, right here and now. You're liar"
 Bluff yourself,' came back the artist, without minutes hesitation. You don't weigh more than 150, and you know what I said"

A survey has been made in New Britain showing the number of those contributing to the New Britain charities and the figures available as the result of this survey are almost unbelievable. These fig ures reveal the fact that only a very small portion of those able to assist in this work are contributing any, thing.
 The committee of the Chamber of Commerce has progressed in it's work of investigation to the point where it desires to get the sentiment of those who are now supporting New Britain's charities and a meeting will be called at an early date for a gen. eral discussion of the details of the Cleveland plan as it may be applied to New Britain.
