HAYWARD A CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
New Orleans, Dec. 15.—Further Inves
tigation brings to light the feet that the
present squeeze by spot houses of outelde
Jjecamber shorts In New York Is really
the cause of the present advance In the
market. Lota of unwary shorts, not fa
miliar with settling by actual delivery,
had drifted Into December, and hoping al
ways for a reduction of period, overstayed
their time, and are now at the mercy of
houses who had bought the po-
get cotton to New York. It Is
however, that the present pre
mium or 40 points on December offers:
enough advantage to holders of that op
tion to cause them to release thetr hold.
Liverpool today conformed more reedlly
to the reactionary mood on our side,
showing futures 6 higher; epots 8 higher;
aelee 10,000 bales, which are large for a
Friday. •
That many have covered and changed
their views of the market Is shown by
be the most potent fact In case an ad
vance should come. A fact of far greater
Importance at present Is that this sea
son’s supply Is by far the greatest ever
known, and nearly two million In excess
of_prevloua large crop years.
■rtte present bull push coming together
with the natural disposition togevrn up
before the holiday period struck e fertile
held end met with reedy response. A
good deal of buying was again In evidence
this morning. The bad weather over the
belt, auggeettng loaa of cotton and lower
ing of grades, as well as the prospect* for
a Dullish visible, were additional Induce
ments today to buy. It la snowing In
north Texas and general and heavy rains
fell over the rest of the belt, with pros-
E ts of a rainstorm passing over the
Item state*. >
A statement by The Journal of Com
merce that holding of crops Is responsible
for bad business and that atrawa show
that the overflow or bursting Is likely to
take place soon after the New Year at
tracted much notice. The market eased
In the second hour on the disappointing
forwardings to mills from Liverpool, be
ing 78.000, against 88,000 last year.
