The crop estimate of Ii, i,120,000 given out as the national gin- ners' figures last night brought in over night selling orders, and it was increased before the opening this morning, hence our market opened B to 50 off on a scale down to May. ranged within limit of 30 to 70 points from December to May In order and closed steady, unchanged for December and 20 to 50 lower sealed to May. Spots were unchanged middling iQc. Sales 16l3 bales.
 In the afternoon our market was un- settled. The decline around noon had reached as much as % points on the dis tant positions. A rally of 20 points fol- lowed on the large mill takings for the week, but this brought out more selling on the following news and drop of 3 points in late sterling exchange On the whole. selling current seemed to domi- nate the market. The buying was largely covering shorts. The market has stood very adverse surrounding conditions with out sensational decline. and as the darkest iss just before, and the deterrni- nation of business circles to ''see it through is shown in many ways. im- proved conditions will cause an advanc- ing market, but at the present purchases should be made on the sharp breaks.

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, December 5-Cotton opened lower today, remained depressed throughout the session and closed at net declines of 19 to S9 points. At the lowest levels the market stood f7 to 94 points under the close of yesterday Irregu- larity was due to the extreme weakness of the distant months, and the compar- ative steadiness of the near. Selling was stimulated mainly by a private bu- reau estimate of s,OoooOo ginned to De. cember 1. which it was figured indicated total crop of 11,120,o0o bales. con siderably larger yield than the trade has been expecting for some time past Much liquidation came from the long side as the market fell. and it was ap parent that buyers of July during the early sessions of the week were letting go. July was forced. at it's lowest, down to 3o.S7c, which compared with the spot price for middling of 40c, spots being quoted unchanged.
 This wice discount attracted a deal of attention. but without causing fresh buy ing.
 Eurof can politics were regarded un- favorably. but small recoveries wer caused toward the close by reports of somewhat better turn in the Mexican situation.

S25s. Oats lost h@ss to x cents. In provisions the outcome ranged from 10 cents decline to a like advance
 Corn traders acted on the assumption that enlarged arrivals of corn here had been brought about by utilizing railway equipment made available through eur rent heavy reduction of general freight business. and that consequently for at least the time being the influence of the coal strike was more bearish than bullish as to corn. Curtailment of buying on the part Of the big industries tended further to depress the market, and so likewise did lower quotations on hogs, together with

 Transient rallies which followed were associated with predictions of rain and snow and with gossip that Scandinavian countries and Italy had bought 1,0O0,0g bushels of rye ill the United States.

Cotton at New York

New York December 5.-~After ruling weak an dunsettled during the early trading the market steadied toward the close on covering by scattered shorts with offerings less aggressive. Trade buying has also been in evidence to some extent all through the session though not in such volume as recently and there are reports that the basis in the south is getting easier as a result of falling off In the spot demand
 Exports were light, being only 1900 bales but there were IA vessels report ed on November 30, due to arrive at Galveston for cotton cargoes. A wire from New Orleans said that takings for the week were estimated at 4,49O,000 to 549,oo0. The market is very mixed and as one broker very aptly expressed It the near months aer an index of the actual facts in the cotton situation while the distant months reflect the fear of what may happen.-Post & Flagg.
