In Chicago tut met the leaders ot the various breeds of hog and cattle snd Urged them to (lv more attention to development In Alabama, and less to the Pacific Coast, which is so far removed from th central west markets. Th results are that several of the breed associations have planned special work In Alabama. Jadg Thossaa Elected.

COTTON MARKET IS HELD DOWN Net Result of Week's Trading Loss Of Two To Five Points. (Associated Pre-.) NEW ORLEANS.

Dec. 5 The Cotton market was held within narrow bounds last week due in large part to the nearness of the government's estimate of the crop. The trade did much evening up of commitments because of this and the census bureau report on glnninp which is due Wednesday. The ginnlns figures are hot considered so Important In themselves, but are expected to be a good pointer to ths figures on the crop. The net results of the week's trading were a loss of 2 to points.

At the best the active months were 9 to 13 points over the previous week's final figures and at the lowest they were 1 to 29 points under. Small Crops Talk Small crop talk and reports of improvement in spot demand were the main sustaining influence of the week. At the same time, mlll'tak-Ings were small enough to cause bearish comment and the export movement did not make a Rood ehom-tng. This, however, the bulls claimed was due to the lack of tonnage. This week after the census bureau's report on ginning down to th end of November, Is announced, the market probably will become a waiting affajr because of the annual estimate of the crop by the department of agriculture, which will be issued at one o'clock.

New Orleans time. Friday afternoon. This will be preceded by many private estimates, which are likely to be the chief Influence in determining the course of prices. Government Estimate As opinion now stands, the trade looks for figures from the government all the way from 11.000.000 to 1J.000,-000 bales. The government's estimate does not Include llnters.

Probably the average of opinion was between and 11.500,000. Market letters at the end of last weelt indicated it would take an estimate of over to put prices down, and figures under 11,400,000 to put them up. fp to Friday it likely will be a lulet market but after that activity and heavy trAdinff are probable.
