Market Letter on 'Cotton.
By private wire, J. S Lstbun ft Co.
Naw Toaa, Oct. 84. Ths market
today acted about at expected. Had re
ceipts been fall the large estimate by
Mr. Buttls, the English expert would
have oaassd s fharp break. As It wu
prices rallied snd mads a substantial ad
vance sfter the figures were received.
The Bus tin report says,
1 am convinced ths dsmsgs dons has
been greatly exaggerated. The erop has
tnffsrsd in Texas from the Mexican
weevil, boll worms snd drought in some
sections. . The erop as whole Is an
average one. I started la to examine it
in North . Carollas and at first glanoe
thought ths crop had suffered, as the
plant was small, bat was surprised oa
coasting ths bolls to Bad five the aver,
age, which wu la sxosss of but season.
Ths plant wu green and growing. ; Ia
Sonth Carotins it hat bu sxoellent stand
and there wss a total absence of dead
plants. The fields were well worked,
very even tad good ' prospects for a top
erop.' Ia some localities ths plant had
taken oa a second growth, which with
flos weather daring October It bound to
add to the erop.-J -, ; . .. ,
kMI oo nalder this Btats ass s better erop
(ban I have sees for years. My estimate
tolM00,000tales.1 ,n , V
? Bat to bring about a lower ssarket It
til rteulrs mors than this' amount. Is
view of ths fact that Mr, Bustla U aa
Xngllahmaa and' working - for the best
interest of his client abroad, ws do him
ao injury wbes we tay alt tendency It
to overestimate, tbe erop.- We do aot
ltks to see him advising the sals of oot
toa.. As far as the plant Is concerned
this takes swsy from the. value of hie es
timate, wbea the New York cotton ex.
change authorised tbe same thing iaj
July and put the erop at 13 mllllos
bales wa said It didn't look right. We
would havs ' mora con 11 denes la Mr.
Bustla, if hs eonfloed his energies to sa
estimate ef the erop, and aot to advising
to large sad to sbls s community st the
cotton world of America. As ths ma
jority look at It, the crop It probably
10,750,000 bales. There. Is nothing in
this to sell cotton short on. ' On the
sums lias the amount In light this week
wet placed at 413,000 vs. 60,000 last
year. Next week we will compare with
OSl.COO litt year and there is likely to be
