New York, Dee. 10.-Not since the Sully boom of 1904 has the New York Cotton Exchange witnessed a more sensational scene or a more spectacular rise in prices than occur red to-day with the announcement of the government crop report. With the galleries crowded with visitors from the South, augmented by friends and relatives if operators and other interested spectators, the market soared to a new high record for the season with gains of more than $2 a bale over yesterday. Botfi the May and July options touched the high mark of 15.80, both gaining approximately 42 points over yester day's close. Bull brokers prevented a more vio lent advance, az they had distribu ted heavy selling orders every five! points up from 15.55 for May and July. They sold enormously supply ing the demand of shorts and also the inrush of buying orders from Wall Street, Chicago and Southeia operators and the local and New 3nglanid dry goods interests. The market continued in an excited state up to the close, with estimates that 500,000 bales had changed hands in the last hour. May closed at 15.07 and July at 15.74. It was 2 o'clock when the news came from Washington that the gov ernment estimate was only 10,088, 000 bales, the smallest crop since 1903. Immediately there was a tre mendous rush of buying. Orders poured in from the world, over and prices jumped from 20 to 30 points on the first transaction. Last trades made just before the report was an nounced were on, the basis of 15.50 for May 'delivery; the next sales were made at 15.70, an advance of $1 a bale. This was followed by tremendous trading .both ways and by rapid fluctuations. A break to 15.65 followed, then came the rise to 15.80. July cotton fluctuate& along the same lines, while March reachad 15.60 as its high point and closed at 15.40. The government estimate is about 200,000 below the prediction of the most sanguine of the bulls and the action of the market naturally fol lowed. Sixteen cent cotton so much talked about, was not realized, but the market came near it. It now remains to be determinedI whether the federal estimaters have underestimated the yields as has been the case for the past ten years. Dur ing that time the crop has been un derestimated each year at from 500, 000 to 600,000 bal-s. Small Panic in New Orleans.
