The market opened easy at a decline
of 1st points, although the cables were
lust about as due. and during the first
half hour sold at a net loss of 8al points
under liquidation and bear pressure. The
—line was checked around 8.51 for
January and 8.59 for May by covering
for both local and foreign account, but
there wss little indication of buil sup
port and sentiment showed little Im
provement, although prices rallied to
within a point or so of last night’s close
during the middle session.
’At this level offerings again became
heavier, owing to rumors that there was
stilL a considerable long Interest which
might be forced to liquidate, and during
the afternoon the market was nervous,
with January relatively weak and selling
off to 8.42 or 18 points net tower, and
83 points below the high record of last
month.
Other months followed tbe decline rath
er slowly, end it was believed that the
break was chiefly due to the liquidation
of some lnrge January long Interest. The
close wan a few polnta up froth the low

YORK, Dec. 11.—In Europe the
• of southern markets affected
as It did our market. The de-
was about equal to the break
. A rally In both markets followed
opening dsellnp as few care to be
ahort after the alow decline of the past
fortnight. Ths movement of tho crop
to date Is so much in excess or last sea
son that should the movement from now
on equal that of ths short crop of last
season. this season’s, crop will exceed
18,500.600 bales. It !• this feature of
the dally situation which haa caused
S inners and cotton trade to discredit
e bureau estimate of the crop. There
lms been a slow liquidation in progress
for ten days arrested by the bureau
renort, but which wss again In progress
this morning, and during the afternoon
lit January. At Uie close the Impre*
slon prevailed that tbe market was en
titled to a reaction tomorrow, both In
Liverpool and New York.
