New Orleans, Dee. 1*.—Yesterday's reas suring cable opinion* from Liverpool were followed by a strong market today. Fu tures show double the advance due, being 1* to 12 points higher. The turn-over In spots since the first of the month amounts to 149,600 bale*. Today's sale* -are 18,000 bales, all but 1.000 of which are American. Rnd a cable says that sales would h*Te tieen larger but for n heavy fog. spot* prices are 10 points higher. First trades here were at an advance of about J5 points. The high opening attracted some scalpers' selling and a little *et back followed, but DEMAND 18 STRONGER the Inquiry and purchase of goods br goods division of tbe trade Is houses and there Is a slight movement In the fancy cotton goods trade. Tbe decline In tbe staple yeaterduy was noted In the better terms quoted them. Just what future value of staple cottons Is to be one Is willing to predict. It Is stated uy the large sellers that their mills are In auch good shape that It will he next to Impossi ble to hresk the market for goods wanted this side of the spring months. The values on convertible lines of cottons nnd on the low count print elotba for cnttlng-up pur poses are aofter and the buying Is some what stronger than at the close of last week. The curtailment of the mills In all parts of the country Is havlug the effect of stimulating buying by the seconder; factor* who are ahort of goods am not figure on the market going any lower at this time. In* the Jobbing trade the day was not especially busy ns fnr as store trade was concerned, but the orders from the road made n good showing.

A large house In New York, dealing mostly for Northern mill Interests, wires very bullish, which Is rather significant. Northern con sumption had been most affected by late financial matters, but, according to this opinion, we may now look for an Increased demand from that quarter. After the close of Liverpool there wo* a sharp advance to at s large premium over January. Strong spot news also stimulated the spot market. K|H*t holders sec they have the situation In bn ml, and arc making high prices. Buyers want It. December futures sold ns much os 31 joints over .lauttnry. The same Nqnecxo hat Is now In December Is expected for i he chances In cotton. New York, Dec. 12.—J. 8. Ilachc ft Co.: Sharp advances occurred this morning lu Liverpool. Our market responded am! there was some lively bidding soon after tbe opening. The spot situation In the Kouth ruled very strong and the foreign buying ,wns a feature. Reports were current that the government estimate was not tn line with the ginning figures and this had an Influence with some Interests. It was felt that the ginning return* represented more truly tbe actual figures. Many who warn bullish bought this morning. These hail taken profits on tho announcement of the government estimate. Many who were ls-ar- l*h have covered upon the recent break. We think the spot situation Is so strong that prices will hold up. but would advise care In buying at this level. rlngton: Jtclleve this market Is now Inde pendent of any foreign demand, and whllo the bean may attempt to sell whont off temporarily. It Is only a question of a Uttla time when we will have higher prices. Receipts of corn not equal to the demand. Bad weather ts predicted. We would buy corn on any declines. Much better demand for oata the past few days. Recelpta not equal to demand, and until we have larger receipts there Is no use looking for a de- clioo In prices. It looks as r There in a vei ‘ Blleve they t Chicago Record-Herald: C. H.

Whether the average speculator has bearish sincerity In his conviction or merely so be cause cotton has had a few speculative friends, matters little. The fact remains, however, that the larger portion of the talent has been against tho staple, and has i*efriended It only when forced to do so by the consistent attitude of holders and the persistency of the relative strength en- K mlered by tha eagernesa of buyers and o indifference of sellers of spots. Mean- tlve ahort who can not obtain •pot cotton at a practical price and who !■ loath to pay the December over January premium of 25 to 27 points for the privilege of delaying settlement until a later day.
