COTTON EXPERIENCES ~ • PERIOD OF DULLNESS Several Days of Hesitation Follow Brief Spurt Following Government Report. New Orleans. Dee. 14. —The past week in cotton lias been a period of dullness 1 , comparatively speaking, an the brief spurt which followed the publicn ion of the government, estimate on Monday was followed by several days of hesitation and gradually receding prices until it was realized that Contracts were being quietly absorbid by trade in terests on the scale down. This, to gether with a revival of the demand for >pots ow'jng to effort** fulfill out Dr •ember Annnritments. said L to be quite 'argo. caused a moderate improvement in prices as well as a better undertone. The first development of the week was the government’s final estimate of lie crop which was 13,153.000 a figure somewhat lower than had been general y expected. This estimate led to a fair rally in prices due mainly to covering by shorts until consideration of the de tails of the ginnings report issued simultaneously with the estimate which showed not only a total larger than many looked for but also that the gin nings in several states already almost equalled the estimated crop for those dates. As a result of this view prices re ceded until Thursday they reached a ’evel just 100 points below the high at tained soon after the publication of the government estimate on Monday. Later on in the week reports were received in dicating that the weight of bales in many sections, notably in North Caro lina and Oklahoma, were running much lower! than the standard bale of 500 (Winds gross weight in which the gov ernment estimate is figured. This view of the case brought about a. moderate rally' which was helped by the falling off of the movement of the crop into sight for- the week of nearly 100,000 bales. Fatally Injured in Accident.
