Cargill and Richardson’s Letter.
New Orleans, March 25.—(By prl-
xate wire to Cargill & Rlchardsona
The decline of 15 points in Liverpool
todav in the face of a 26-point higher
closing in New York yesterday came
quite unexpected, and cables were
axeriv searched for explanations. Our
Liverpool spot friends cable: •'Man-
chester trade improving; futures hero
depressed by bearish cablegrams from
your side as to census bureau.” The
loss was neatly all recovered in the
last hour, futures closing steady only
two points lower than yesterday. Of
8P0ts.5000 bales were sola, including
4990 bales of American at 12 points
decline. This lower Liverpool had a
depressing effect around the opening
of our markets. The frat trades show-
ed 29 points loss and more, but short
covering set in right after, particu-
larly in New York, where one promi-
nent short interest is said to seek
shelter, and a steady advance, carry-
ing July above 14 l-2c before publi-
cation of the census report. At 11 a.
m. sharp Mr. Hester ryaa out 10,014,454
bales, which is the estimate of the to-
tal crop, including linters and counting
tound.bales.as hair bales, equal »®
10.045.614 bales reduced to 500 pound
bales. The number of bales of every
kind reported by ginners is 10,399.158
bales. These figures in the March re-
port of last year were 10,784,473 bales.
10.827.168 bales and 11,275,105 bales, re-
spectwvely. As the popular guess about

extremely small crop was of course
great: Julv from 14.52c jumped to

New York. March 25—Today's stock
market showed itself stili sensitive to
developments in the Northern securi-
ties settlements. Yesterday's closing
weakness was caused by the current
rumor that Union Pacific interests had
withheld their consent tp the plan of
distribution. It was inferred from this
that the hostilities were again threat*
ened over the transcontinental rail- would confirm' small
load situation. The revival in the h-
market today* followed the issuance of
j statement evidently by authority of
the nature of the difference. The solic-
tude of the trustees of the Oregon
Snort Line participating collateral 4
PeX cent bonds as to their authority to
substitute Great Northen and Northern
Pacific stock for the Northern Securi-
ties stocks, which now constitute the
collateral for those bonds offered a
very different condition from the ru-
mored insistence of the Union Pacific
party upon the return of the amount
of Northern Pacific stock on call as put
into the Northern Securities merger.
The issuance of this statement was
followed by a furious buying move-
ment in Union Pacific, which carried
it up to 83 6-8. The first influence of
the sharp advance in Unien Pacinc.
however, was to stimulate the general
market. The rise in St. Paul and
Southern Pacific approximated 2
points, and the majority of the market
leaders were lifted a point or more,
rhe movement to take profits wiped
2u5.the.davs gains, leaving prices
slightIV. below yesterday’s closing.

about one-fifth additional territory or]
What is „ devoted to raising the staple!
today. In other words, It would mean
the cultivation of about 36,099 000
acres against 39.009,094 that was tilled
last season, an almost physical im-
possibility, more' so on account of the
scarcity of labor. Such features were
soon lost sight of with the official an-
nouncement of what the probable site
M the present crop would be. Instead
o.the census showing 10,609.090 bales
ginned to date, 10,014,464 bales of 600
pounds were given as outside figures
for 1903. This is the most bullish state-
ment we have ever had to comment
upon, for it must be remembered that
the conclusion arrived at as to the size
o the crop ,s based upon facts, except
that an allowance of 75,401 bales was
made for the amount of cotton remain-
ing to be ginned. The total allow-
ance for the crop of 10,014,454 bales In-
eludes the estimates of cotton to be
ginned, as well as 194,415 bales of lint-
ers. and to detract from the spinning
capacity of this small crop. It is only
Teceasary to say that 109,009 bales of
this crop was saved by the threshing
off of the frost bitten bolls gathered
in north Texas after the early freeze
of last fall. We may have reactions
from time to time, but the spot hold-
er is going to make the best of the sit-
uation by asking higher prices with the
appearance of every inquiry on the
part of the spnner. Last season’s
crop was 19,728,000 bales. The sur-
Plus carried over was 778,900 bales.
Total supply, 1,604,009 bales, and spin-
ners' takings 10.941,000 bales. This
season we only had a surplus of 517,000
bales with a crop of about 10,914,000
bales, making a deficit of about 976,-
000 bales compared with last year for
sDInners to draw from.
