Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, November 5.-There has
been heavy selling today through brok-
ers supposed to be acting for certain
Wall street and uptown interests, sales
through one broker adone being estimat-
ed at fully fifty thousand bales. This
may be liquidation. but in view Of the
feeling as to the possible effect of high
rates for money and that substantial
break in the price of cotton is past due
1t would not be surprising If fair share
of 1t was for short account considering
the source of the selling. Tho offerings
have gone for the most part to trade
houses which have seemed disposed to
take almost any amount offered on g
scale down. 1t Is said that the mills
have been fixing prices very freely to-
day and advices from the south say
that the only effect of the decline in
futures has been to create higher
basis.
Exports today were 10000 bales but
from some sections there were reports

We wish to caution our friends
against making new purchases at these
levels While tho situation looks ex-

that the country Ia long of contracts as

ton of the market Is weakened by the

New Orleans, November ga gen.
uine reaction hit the cotton market to-
day and q great volume of liquidation
came out, making a very busy session
of It Prices were driven down 101 TO
100 points in the early trading and they
remained depressed all day, although
there were partial recovertes on what
looked like fresh buying for long ac-
count During q good part Of the
session the market stood at net losses
of about 60 to 30 points.
Tho National Gtnners report placed
tho total output to November l at g.
20o, 900 bales, which, 1t was claimed.
pointed to a crop Of 1o,soo,oo bales,
total fnr IN excess of recent estimates.
Ginning for tho period indicated was
1891 900 bales against s65.80s this
period last year.
Sentiment seems to favor q further
reaction and those who are working
for It WIN probably be helped by the
fact that Saturday win bring the
census bureau report on ginning. which
many traders seem to think will not
be far from the private bureau figures
Of today.
Tho next cotton ginners' report will
be issued Saturday. November 8, at 10
