crop which is now regarded as likely to prove around 100000 and perhaps rather below than above that figure.
 The Secretary of Agriculture is quoted as saying that the crop Is more nearly ginned than ever before at this time of year though no of ficial statement as to the exact per centage was given out Trading has been quiet and although the sigrs are that the trade would like more cotton they seem indisposed to follow advances as long as outside condi- tions remain so unsettled.
 There is, We believe, still a large portion of the short interest which accumulated during the decline that remains uncovered and should prices work gradually higher we think stops would be uncovered which would cc- cumulate the advance. There is cot- ton for sale probable at or around 20 cents or so though We think the quantity has been sharply reduced. Post Flags,

Everybody seemed to compare the government Einnera, which made 1t look very buiiish; however. it was 2,ooe. 900 un- der. expectations. Figures by the government showed B.<473s7 against 2.soT.sSe last month and 5.754.6S3 last year. The buying vas partly for new long accounts, partly covering and some trade selling, while selling seemed to be mostly profit taking. Talk around the rooms of the ex- change at New Orleans and New York was that the ginning was Tb to 80 per cent of the yield. Spots in the south were reported harder to buy with an increasing demaAd In, duiry. Liverpool seems lees pessi- mtstic and sent over good cables this morning, advancing rapidly after their receipt of the bureau. With continued improvement In the rail strike situation and the foreign po- lftical affairs there is at present nothing to cause q decline in cotton prices and we certainly continue of the opinion that much higher levels will be reached in the near future
 
 HUBDARD'S LETTER
 New York, October f5.--A better political situation In Europe where the attempt of Emperor Charles to re-instats himself in Austria has ap- parently failed, brought . higher Liverpoel this morning. The vovsrn- mont issued ginning report of S.- +7T,1s7 bales and stated that this rep resented . large proportion of this years crop. While no percentage pEures were given. it represents St per cent of the government sstimate of 6be0. 900. A sharp advance took place on the opening with the market ruling steady during the Wrsater part of the day. Much will depend on the attitude of spinners.s both here and abroad.
 If they believe that these figures of ginning rsprssent q very large proportion ginnsd. they will enter the market for their supplies foY the balance of the year. II they do not. then we can expect an uneasy market the next few weeks until the Novem- Der ! ginnsr report which should show just how near the government estimate ia being correct or not.

New York, Sept. 9.-Onited
Press.)-The present spectacular
rise in cotton prices is generally
regarded throughout that and allied
industries as the breaking of the

A canvass of the bigger cotton

New Confidence Comes.
THE marking up of raw cotton
nrices to something like their real
yaIue has created confidence among

have been carrying the growers.
textile manufacturers, fabricators
of cotton goods and the employees of
all these.
while raw cotton remained at an
sbnor1nally low figure, buyers per-
yersely expected it to go even
lower. There is a general stagna-
ton in all trades using cotton, the
ramifcations of which are almost
eniIess. Then there came the
sudden realization that We have a
real cotton famine (This was fore
cast by Theodore Price is an ex-
elusive interview with the United
Press several weeks ago.

tile mills are reopening. Automo-
