AYery's Letfei

The governpsnt's ginning report was about as expected this morning, showing Il 1,045,000 bales ginned up to Jantiary 1. This indicates that the government esti- mate on the total growth for the year will be about right
 Liverpool showed a reactionary ten- dency, futures being slightly lower than due. Our market opened about un- changed, but sold off some 20 points on realizing and advices from New York that important traders were playing for a reaction after an advance of some 200 points.
 There was further reports of a better spot demand, which steadied the market and spot quotations generally were higher, which I think will prevent any decline of consequence, and I can see no reason why values should not advance to much higher level. c. F. AVERY.
