Removing spaces from the output of a head command

Im running the below commands in a script.

Total_confirms=`cat $OUTPATH/count_po* | head -4 | tail -1`
#
echo "Total Confirms records we need: $Total_confirms" >> $LOG2

The problem is its always returning 4 spaces before the result.. Can I pipe the result into something else to remove the spaces.. was looking at the cut command but don't think it applies here.

I'm just trying to align the output so it's not all over the place..
