Liverpool will have to decline a good deal

GINNERS’ REPORT
New York, Dec. 21.—The Hun.says: "The
feature of the duy was the census report
stating the amount ginned up to Deccmlier
13 at 11.099,000 bales, against 9,299,309 last
year, and 11,(71.000 two year* ago. The re
port was regarded ns bearish, but, although
there was heavy soiling for a time, under
which prices weakened. It was followed
by heavy covering of aborts, and tne re
covery of most of the decline. Previous
to the aunouuceinent of the report, prices
declined, owing to continued largo receipts,
large estimates for Houston. Galveston and
New Orleans, Wall street and general soil
ing and not a little raiding. Not unnnt-
urally, some stnp.los* orders were uncov
ered, am! these accelerated tne downward
pace. Besides there was n very general
expectation of n hnrlsh glnneis* ieport,
a few looking for less tbun 11,000,000, and
some taking the ground that the total to
December 13 was likely to approximate 11,.
2UO.*000 bales. On the decline, many shorts
took profits, and there was more or less
buying by commission, and wire housra
In expectation of a rally. But what with
the sinners' report and the large receipts
sentiment In the main was still bearish.’'
New* Orleans. Dec. 23 —The Times iMmo-
crat says: "The census bureau report show
lug 11.*199.00. bales of cotton ginned to Do-
cemlwr 13, was disappointing from th*
bullish viewpoint. The figures, howVver, do
not prove the proximity of a hurrt%n*omc
surplus, nor do they guarantee n suffi
cient quantity of desirable cotton to supply
the world's requirement for the yen*,
hence room bears made no attempt to
force the market, and the docuuiuiu pass
ed Into history without having stirred the
rings to Important action. HtntDIcal >om-
p.msons are so beset by conflicting environ
ment that old and now standards of com-
putnton can not he readily reconciled,
mid the true significance of yesterday*s
showing roust soak In gradually. Mean
while, further evidence of the dnngcr of
de;>endlng upon a hedge bought In a pure
ly speculative market is coming to the nt-
tmtlou of actual cotton shorts. Largo con
tracts aggregating probably several hun
dred thousand hales of average strict mid
dling havo been sold to Mouthcni mills on
the basis of 50 points on New York fu
tures, which today Is equlvalent to 9.90c

New Orleans, Dec. 21,— 1 The demand fo?

the fact that the prevailing Interests being
short was prone to cover and which, In
tho narrow condition of the mnrkot, ow

holidays and consequently the absence 01

porary reaction. Despite the wonderful
movement which each day not only main
tains the high averages recently establish
ed, but at times even surpasses the prece
dents Instituted by the crop of 1604 19-*5.
the contention Is stoutly held that the mills
have contracted for far enongli ahead to
consume the supply of grades desirable
and available. The contention N based
on mere eoujeeture, anil when a more nor
mal condition Is assumed by the advent of
the new year, then and then only will the
truth become clearer, and then nnd thci.

THE DRY GOODS MARKET.
From Th© New York Commercial.
In the flrat hand market for plain
and ataple cottons and for fancy cot
ton good* the scarcity of goods has
compelled naming higher values. All
of the buyers who come to this mar
ket are anxious to secure additional
goods for spring And they do not hesi
tate when a stock Is located to pay
full asking prices, provided they can
get the goods In the quantity desired
and on the proper terms of shipment.
The strong position now attained by
bleached goods Is helping other lines
of cottons, and throughout the market
the strongest upward tendency on all
lines Is noticeable. Even In the ex
port specialties which are not finding
a largely Increased call from abroad,
agent* are holding firmly for top
"rice* and declare that the sale for
strictly domestic consumption Is suf
ficient to keep stocks from accumu
lating.

DAILY STOCK LETTER.
New* York, Dec. 21.—-The market la
■ubjected to a rather sharp wave of
liquidation today, but the selling move
ment did not extend throughout the
session, and after some depression In
Northwest stocks and Reading, good
support appeared in these nnd other
Issues, with consequent effect on the
price movement. The foreign mone
tary situation is Mill somewhat un
certain and reports today that the
Bank of France might aid the London
money market $50,000,000 In gold prob
ably reflect the extreme of apprehen
sion, as most Fngllsh financiers believe
the strain will be over during the early
days of January, as a result of the
natural return of money after the hol
idays. Money here ^1 easier on call and
much Improved sentiment, even if
caused by comparative lack of demand
for speculative purposes. We look to
see the market retain its present good
tone, and (perhaps advance moderately
during the next few days.
