Considerable activity was noted in the
wholesale district Tuesday, but it was
confined largely to fruit and produce

petus to trade, which will no doubt ex-
tend over the period from now until
Christmas.

SPOTS ARE 1-8 CENT HIGHER;
FUTURES UP 18 POINTS
OFFICE OF THE DAILY KXPRRSS.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 26.—Confi-
dence in the more cncouragitig financial
news was reflected in the cotton markets
today, which showed improvement in all
departments. Liverpool at the time of
our opening was nrft inspiring and prices
opened unchanged to ,1 points lower and
sold off a few point* more during the
first hour. The estimate of receipts for
tomorrow, both in Galveston and New Or-
leans, were several thousand bales short
of today, as well as last year, but the fig-
ures from Houston, which indicate re-
ceipts of only 20(10 to 3000 tomorrow,
against 14,565 today arid 17.860 last year,
was the main incentive for shorts to buy
cotton. Spot markets are firm and gener-
ally higher, but offerings were light.
There is evidence in the news from Hous-
ton that, with the bear feeling which
now prevails, that the Texas planter has
taken a firmer grip on his cotton and
will surrender only at the point of sword
or for seductive prices. There may or
may not be a temporary decline after
December 4, but it depends on the esti-
mated size of the crop by the Govern-
ment.
Cotton Pointers.
Montgomery. Ala.: Big European spot
demand continues and offerings In the In-
terior are extremely light. Money much
easier and things becoming more normal.
New York: Narrow market. Price
brokers have sold moderately, with the
Wall Street brokers still buying In a half-
hearted way. It looks as If a fair line of
cottdn was warned elose around these
prices end If this demand is supplied
might see It lower nulckly, hut the talent
are going cautiously.
♦ ♦ ♦
New Orleans. I .a.: Improvement In stock
market and expected general Improve-
ment in financial situation. France hav-
ing declared willingness to take about $12.-
000,000 of the bond Issue, are stimulating
shorts In cotton to cover. Bhould be
enough advance for the day, but take it
on all good dips.
♦ ♦ ♦
New York: This Is another squeeze on
shorts. The news for next week should
he bullish.
New Orleans, iji.: Mlfrket getting excit-
ed: shorts went to cover and nobody to
sell to them. Believe advance has gone
far enough today, but think cotton will
work gradually very high.

TOMATO CROP A FAILURE.
Loss to California Growers Will
Amount to $200,000.
Vegetable growers of Southern Cali-
fornia have suffered a great loss In the
destruction of tho entire winter tomato
crop. It is the heaviest loss of the kind
ever kriowr to this section of the Stata
and will amcur.t over the 1300,000 mark.
Several growers hiive been foiced to sell
their forms or mortgage them heavily Ir.
crjer to pull through.
In Whlttly, La Habrn. Fullerten, Ro-
land and Wfliiut the rain of two wee'ts
ago br< i.glit Might and today not a sin-
gle glower can show a patch of tomatoes
that Is :iot affected. Most r f those plant-
ed were of the Stone variety and all for
winter shipment to the East.
" he estimated harvest would tiAve run
ever ao carloads, all of extra select stock.
Thirty cars comprlSfd all the- shipments
made lor the entire season and very many
(if ihe formers had as yet not cut their
tirst picking from the vines, thus making
their losses very tnueh heavier than they
would have been had the rainy season set
Ir a month or even two or threo we-»hs
later.
Altogether there were 2500 acres of
tomatoes planted In the growing Vstriata
mentioned. The sprouts wore set out in
July atid frcm that time to the present
iTity had to be cared for and considerable
money was tspent In Irrigation. Now it
will be Impossible to raise anything o'se
until spring. February being the earliest
) otslble t'me that any variety of vege-
table can tie set cut. This means that
an entire yrar has b»en spent almost
without return. It Is the first time that
this has ever happened ^»nd the plam»rs
are hojieful that it may nlwo be the last.
The same conditions which were so de-
structive to tomatoes have been favor-
able for celery and cauliflower and the
outlook at present Is very good and with
b continuance of fair , weather the crop
may be expected to surpass any that has
Bales.

New Orleans Cotton.
pool Is steady and spot business Increas-
ing; total sales today 10.000. There Is
less apprehension about a strike.
Our markets show every day the ab-
sense of bull speculation. Bears can do
with it as they please and as long as
they sell it goes down but the fun
starts whenever they want to cover as
there are no frightened bulls to sell to
them and actual cotton has not been
helping shorts for over a month. Finan-
cial news is more encouraging every
day. There is increased willingness t
take the government bond Issue and
banks ill the North announce that they
they will not pay any more premium*
for currency and will resume payments
in cash./ As soon as the West and tho
South can get some of the money owed
tliem by New York banks business in
general should recover Its elacticity.
First trades here were at 5 to 6 points
decline and short selling kept it down
during the first half hour. When thi
Houston estimate was posted giving 20U0
to 3000 expected receipts tomorrow vs.
17.860 last year and 14,406 In 1905, some
shorts wanted to cover on It and prices
were above last night's closing figures
before one had time to look around. This
demonstrated in a practical way what
we have said above. Any occurrence
which could reinstate former confidence
In trade and business generally would
have a decided bullish effect on the cot-
ton markets. Bears are playing merely
on the aftermath of the financial crisis.
Offerings in the spot market are very
limited lor this time of the season and
what Is offered is quickly taken at full
quotations. There Is decidedly more in-
clination io trade in f. o. b. cott«n to ar-
rive which shows that banking facili-
ties are getting nearer normal. The
steady future markets of the past five
days are already having the effect of
bringing some new business from abroad
although It is little so far.
Futures are steady at the advance and
very little buying puts it up. Specula-
tive interests are mostly short.
Now York Cotton. »
NEW YORK, Nov. 2«.-The net
changes were very small at the opening.
Liverpool gave us an indifferent market.
The spot situation, however. Is very
strong abroad and the sales keep well
up to the average. Some selling at the
opening forced January down about 8
points to 10.2S and March to 10.39. The
map showed favorable weather In the

No Signs, However, of Selling Out of
Collateral Loans and One Depress-
ing Influence is Thus
Removed.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2*>.-There was none
ot' the of selling out of collateral
of loans in today's stock market such as
has been a depressing Influence at intei-
vals for some time past. Free from this
influence, the scarcity of the market
supply of stocks again became manifest
and prices udvanced early on small de-
mand. The advance in prices did not
bring out Increased offerings but the
demand became even lighter, leaving the
market in a condition of extreme dull-
ness in some of the latter stages.
A feature of the day was the growing
ease of the call money market, largely
due to the small demand for loans at tho
Stock ICxcliange. The approach of the
end of the month leaves open a prob-
ability of a temporary hardening; of
money rates to meet the large require-
ments of that period. The ease ot the
call loan market lid not bring corres-
ponding increases in demand for com-
mercial paper for which here is yet
practically no market. This condition
is greatly hampering the conduct of com-
mercial operations and is one of the
phases of the situation calling most
pressinglv for relief. The refusal to take
commercial paper by the small interior
banks is charged by the New Vork deal-
ers to be an accompaniment of a oiling
up of rash holdings to the point or sur-
feit. The rirtes paid for foreign exchange
were lower find the day's engagements
of gold abroad were light The private
rate of discount declined in London
which was taken to reflect p belief that
the demands for gold are coming to a
limit. Stocks retained the full day's
gains to the closing.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, 12. MS,000. TTnlted StRt^s bonds
unchanged on call.
