KING COTTON HITS
 THE UPWARD TRAIL
Governments Low Esti- mate Figure Causes Ex-
 citement on Exchange

New York, December 1.-The govern ment's estimate placing this years cotton crop at 10,949.0O0 bales, excluding linters, was followed by an excited advance in the market here today. All deliveries made new high records for the season, with January selling at 29.S5c, or 97 points ret higher. That delivery closed at 29.5Sc, with the general list closing barely steady at net advance of 55 to 70 points.
 The market was comparatively quiet but steady before the annual estimate was issued. The opening was steady at a decline of points on December, but generally 10 to 20 points higher on scat tered covering and trade buying. Addi- tional notices amounting to about 1500 bales were reported in circulation, but they were soon stopped and December firmed up with the rest Of the list. Ae- tive months sold about p to 27 points net higher during the early afternoon, with covering becoming 8 little more urgent, and immediately after the official crop figures were issued prices shot up rap idly.
 The market had been prepared for re- port of slightly over 100000 bales, as indicated by the recent canvass of cotton exchange members, which showed an average expectation of 11,1S7000. The ac- tual estimate did not seem very material ly below these figures, but it's publication eliminated a bearish possibility, and proved the sgnal for active general buy ing. Before the advance was checked December had sold at 3065c March to 29. COG, and May at 29.50c, or 96 to 110 points net higher. There was heavy realizing on this advance, while there also ap- peared to be a little southern selling, with last prices showing reactions of some 30 to 40 points from the best. In a summary accompanying the crop estimate the expert of the bureau said that the early killing frost had curtailed the crop by a million bales and had lowered the grade on much more.

Over S. R. Stewart & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, December 11-While there was a general disposition in the market yesterday to restrict commit ments until after the publication of the governments estimate due today. the very bullish advices from the cot ton goods markets and the discount of futures under spots attracted trade buying as well as covering of shorts, who feared that the government esti- mate might prove smaller than looked for. Despite the decline in futures last week, and some falling off in spots, prices for manufactured goods ad- vanced, and the mills were reported contracted for long time ahead, not only to the government, but to the civilian trade as well.
 Opinions as to the governments esti mate range from II ,100,O to 11,300,000 bales of 500 pounds. Should the esti' mate prove to be 11.100,000 or less. the market will probably advance. but should 1t be as much as 11,300,000 or more, there would probably be tem- porary decline, although it is believed that a decline would attract fresh buy ing from interests that believe that pr ees will eventually go considerably b her on the strength of the large Y sumption by domestic mills, and the
 mpaTatlVely small crop. AS the gov
 nments estimate will be based on 500 pound bales some reduction will have to be made in converting the figures into running bales but owing to the light weight of bales this season 1t is not believed the reduction should be more than l per cent.
 Although reports from southern spot markets show that there is little trad ing doing prices are again being ad- vanced, and spot holders appear to be as determined as ever to resist any de. cline and offerings even at current prices are .-Times-Picayune.

CAUSE OF SHORTAGE

Washington, December LA klli- ing frost before the middle of Oc- tober, several weeks earlier than usual, was the cause of the 100000 bale decrease from the October es- innate when the department forecast a crop of 12,s47,0o0 bales.
 This frost caught far more than the average immature bolls," sum- mary of the report by the depart ment announced, doing damage amounting to approximately 100000 bales, and lowering the grades on much more of the crop.
 "Fortunately, the killing frost was followed by clear weather and many of the frostbitten bolls popped open sufficiently to be gathered. But there were left many immature bolls which were not sufficiently large to open.
 "In northern Texas, Oklahoma and in parts of Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee these bolls are being more or less gathered and will add ma terially to the yield in those sections with the ginning machinery prepared to handle them. But in other states few of the immature bolls will be gathered as there is little machinery installed for handling them"

Sugar Market

New York, December 11.-Raw sugar prices were unchanged at 5.69c for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 6.7dc for centrifugal and 5.S2c for molasse5, the last price paid for prompt ship ment Cubas and 4.90c, cost and freight, for new crop, equal to 5.92c for cen .trifugal, the price fixed by the food administration. Sales reported to the commission were 9N00 bags of Vene- zuelan and 10000 Cuban prompt ship ment at unchanged prices.
 The feature in refined was the an- nouncernent by the food administra : tion of raise of 10 cents per hun dred pounds on the beet sugar basis. This advance becomes effective De- cember 12 and makes tSe price 7.35c at the basic centers, which are New York, San Francisco and New Orleans. The price agreed upon with the rep resentatives of the Cuban government for this years crop makes the ad- vance necessary Otherwise the situa- tion remained unchanged with practi- cally all refiners out of the market, with the exception of one, which took only very moderate orders at S.15c for fine granulated.

of cotton was sent to new high levels on this market today by the crop estimate from the department of agriculture, showing a total of only 10,949,0o0 equiva- lent 500 pound bales Average expecta- tions were for a production estimate around 100000 bales and the market made wild rise when the government figures were read to the ring. In the first few trades following the issuance of the report the most active months rose 5 to 92 points, where they stood at net advance of 101 to TOT points, or little over $5 a bale. In the early trading the market went to small net advance on buying based on anticipations of bullish bureau report. At the highest in the trading up to 1 o'clock prices were IS to g points up. At the time of the report the market stood 10 to IS points up. Fol lowing the first upward movement there was small reaction, under realizing py longs, but a little later the market came back stronger than ever and the less &C., tive months shared fully in the strength On this rise prices went S7 to 107 points over the levels ruling just before the estimate was issued and 9S to 117 points over yesterdays close. Realizing became rather general among longs toward the end of the day and pared the gain down considerably, last prices showing a net rise of 66 to 73 points.

Even our Uncle Sam, with his end- less chain of information, goes wrong in his estimates occasionally. This was the case in cotton this season. The estimate of about 12,000,0o0 bales of cotton as the seasons figures, went wide of the final mark by million. The cotton exchanges of New York and New Orleans both showed excited traders and prices shot upward. Early frosts in October are blamed for the shortage. It now looks like 3O-cent cotton sure enough to me.
