COTTON OPENED UP LOWER AND THEN
 CLOSED PRIMER
General List Closed Firm at a Net Decline of IA to 65 Points Under the Close
 of Thursday
By Associated Press

New York. December 5.-The cotton market was lower today, but showed frmness at the close owing to more fav- orable views of the coal situation and of Mexican affairs. After selling off from S.4Oc to s .s5c, March closed at a4. 25c, with the general list closing firm at net decline of II to 5 points
 Relatively easy cables and increased crop estimates seemed to be larkely ac- countable for the earlier selling. The market opened easy at decline of 25 to 50 points with January selling off to 36 .45c and May to 32.S5c, right after the call, when active months were about 40 to 60 points net lower. There were rallies of several points from this level on Liverpool and Japanese buying, while there was also domestic trade buying and covering. but the market. weaKehed again during the early afternoon on re- ports of a diminishing spot demand and easier spot basis January was rela- lively firm, but later months made new lows with May selling at A.95c or about S3 points net lower. while July at one time showed a net loss of 9S points There was renewed covering and trade buying at this level and last prices were 35 to 50 points up from the lowest
 NltH LiNSfpoui d 5oou buNeF III the late trading. A prominent southern authority estimates ginning to December 1 at s. 93.0O0 bales, and the lint crop at H. l2s 600 bales, the high private estimates so far published This was a factor in Liverpool and was considered responsi- hle for part of the early selling here The average of estimates by members of the New York Cotton exchange points to crop of 10.7o0,00o bales and members of the Little Rock exchange estimate 10. .6e5, 900 on the average.

 New Orleans. December 5.-The one big influence in the cotton market today was tho revision of ideas regarding ginning, and it depressed values from the opep- ing, causing losses which late in the day amounted to fl to 9i points. the distant months being much weaker than the near.
 According to the National Ginners' as- sociation, the total ginning to the first of December was 9,0oe, 900 bales, pointing to a crop of 11,120.000. When 1t is con- sidered that crop estimates some time ago were 100000 and under and that recent ly they have averaged around 10500,0OO, the effect of the private bureau figures of 1,392, 600 bales, against S65,000 this pe- rod last year and 1,142,OO0 this period two years ago. To the first of December last year ginning amounted to 9571, A bales and the crop turned out 11,96,000, while two years ago the ginning to December 1 was 9.7i4.000 bales and the crop turned out II .24S,000 It would not be surprising if the national ginners' returns led to further selling between now and the bu- reau reports of next week.
 The market closed at net declines of l9 to 69 points-Shepard & Gluck.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

erpool was lower than due this morning, reflccting the influence of the National Ginners' association crop estimate of It, 126,000 bales and ginning of s,993 600. The latter figures are really those which im- pressed the trade the most for they would indicate a crop larger than had been expected, and tend to confirm the estimate of 11,126000. Our market broke rapidly after the opening, finally selling through the 35c level for March. where sufficient trade buying appea-e1 to rally the market. though it has lacked snap al. day. In a way the market is dis courting the government report on the 11th, so that some rally from these prices might easily be xpected.-Hubbard Eros. S Co.

New York, December 5.--(Special. J. Liverpool cables were very disappointing and were basod probably upon the in creased crop forecast of the National Gin ners' association realizing and some southern selling was in evidence through out the entire day. The main support was from trade purchases of near position, which occasioned a widening of the pre- miums over more distant positions. The grave outlook for domestic as we'll as for egn trade and finance justifes unusual conservatism at this time.-J W. Jay X fv,

Dugan 6 Bouden,s Letter

New Orleans. December 1.-The trad ing in cotton today revolved around the bearish ginning returns from the Ma tional Ginners' association, and the mar ket was lower from the opening. Ac- cording to this private bureau the gin ming to the first of December amounted % s,0oo,0oo bales which points to crop of n,l20Qo0 bales. Such a crop Is con siderahly larger than the trade has been figuring on, and much selling resulted, a good part of 1t coming from longs in the distant positions. which made them rela- lively much weaker than the near months. The tone of the market contin- uss very unsettied.-Duggan & Bouden

New York, December 1.-The day has been one of drastic liquidations. At no time, however, was the market panicky. The report of the national ginners show ing s,0oo,oo0 bales ginned to December and forecasting a yield of 100000 gave the bulls a chill, and heavy selling re- suited It will be well for bears to re- member the mills cannot supply the de- mand. and at ruling prices the profit to spnrers is enormous.--Clark & Co.
