SHANNON & CO.'S COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. i3.-(Special. )-Flrm cables sharply reduced private estimates of the crop and better foreign and domes- which absorbed heavy offerings readily at advancing prices. PEivate authorities now put the crop we'll under ten milltons and from previous years, 1t becomes more ob- vious that consumption must be sharply checked by the price if the supply is to go round. What price will accomplish that Is impossible to estimate, but indications point to, the necessity for higher level than so far reached. Wide and at times violent fluctuations are certain but on such reactions as last week purchases look the best though buyers should limit their lines to what they are certain they can fully protect and should be cautious about following advances.

SHANNON a CO.'S STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-eSpecial.)- )-The market has been. subjected to more profit taking today and has consequently shown some reaction, although in the main 1t has held remarkably well. It is rumored that Consolidated Gas is about to issue 6e0.oo0 shares additional stock in order to finance its position, and this has led to a decided reaction in the stock, which has had some sympathetic effect on the rest of the list. It is also reported that there will be further issue of Nickel Plate pre- ferred. The price of copper metal has ad- vanced and ths outlook for the copper shares is better. The oil situation, on the other hand, is still suffering from an ex- tensive overproduction. and further cuts of gasoline prices have been announced. The important news of late has been the program emanating from the treasury for a reduction in taxation. If Congress should act on such a suggestion 1t would be & constructive measure of much im- portance. The hitch is the difficulty over the soldiers bonus. Should that bill. pass any thought of reduction in governrhent taxes is out of the question. It Is too early to form conclusive opinion of such B program, but 1t is realized that the present administration Is anxious to make distinct progress in easing the existing burden of taxation. Tho market has now had very substantial advance and 1t Is but natural that this should invite a good dsai of profit taking. The next day or two will indicate how much stamina there Is back of the recent advance. Total sales, 0k0. ROO.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-(Special.l J. Cables this morning were again better than due and our market opened sharply higher. than Saturdays close. There was much less liquidation than on Friday and Saturday and Liverpool was a fair buyer. On the other hand, there was less demand from the domestic trade and trading quieted down considerably. Later in the day the market advanced about 1 cent a pound from Saturdays close in conse- quence of cable from Liverpool to the effect that tho British government was to finance Lancashire to the amount of some fifty million dollars. This would &C., count for some of the demand from Liver pool in the past few days, but on the other hand the probability of a general election in Great Britain in December Is not a bullish factor. It is feared that the political confusion resulting from 8 gen oral parliamentary election wiiF have an adverse effect upon business news from Liverpool% therefore, was an offset The market continues to show a good under tone and is evidently less speculativeiy long than in the excitement of last week.
