SLUMP IN FUTURES
AT NEW YORK.
New Y'ork. Dec. 20.—There was con
tinued bear pressure in the cotton mar
ket and while during the middle of
the session a little covering promoted
steadiness and a slight rally, the gen
eral ruling was weak and unsettled,
with trading fairly active.
The opening was easy at a decline
of 5010 points in response to easier
Liverpool cables, which reported a de
cline of about 9(010 points on futures
and of 14 points on spot cotton, which
seemed to be in decreasing demand.
Following the call here the market sold
off still further reaching a net de
cline of about 11015 points. At this
level or around 7.30 c for January cov
ering was attracted on the theory that
after a decline of about $2 a bale in
a couple of days a reaction was due,
and it seemed from the official an
nouncement that the first instalment
of the ginners' report, which was ex
pected this week, would not be pub
lished until Dee. 28. This encouraged
talk of a temporary upturn if noth
ing more prior to the Christmas holi
days. After working up to about 7.39 e
for January and 7.55 c for March or
a little over the initial figures, how
ever, the market broke sharply. There
seemed to be nothing in the news to
explain the increased offerings which
were credited to local bear interests,
but as the market worked below the
previous low' level, stop orders were
caught and January broke to 7.19 c,
with March selling at 7:35c. and the
general list showing a net decline of
about 24025 points. Toward the close
there was enough covering to help
prices a point or two. and the final
tone was steady at a net loss of 22@24
points. Sales were-estimated at 500,-
000 bales.
The decline at Liverpool was attrib
uted by private cables to hedging sales
and Alexandria liquidation. Locally,
there seemed nothing aside from bear
pressure to account for the decline,
aside from the liquidation caused by
losses and predictions of a break in
tfce spot markets.

DEMERE A HAMMOND’S
Dally Colton belter from New
York.
New York, Dec. 20.—1 t had been
taken for granted that the first instal
ment of the ginners’ report would ap
pear on Thursday, next, or at least on
Friday, and the recent pressure brought
to bear upon the long* was thought to
be for the purpose of crowding them
out in advance of appearance of gin
ner*’ figures. Prediction of as high as
11.500,000 already ginned were common,
and apparently had as much effect In
Liverpool as on this side. That nrac
ket at one time to-day showed a loss
of about 14 points, when, therefore. It
was announced officially 4 lint the first
portion of ginners’ report would be
issued only on Dee. 28. a full week

pressure and prices tbllled consider

WARE A LELAYD
Expect Decline Till Market I* Again
Oversold.
New Y'ork, Dec. 20.—The break be
low 7.50 c for January was attended
with another break this morning, and
Jamfary sold at 7.22 c before afternoon
was ox'er. There was more short sell
ing than there has been in some time.
Professional have been waiting for the
market to break 7.50 e, and were all
ready to sell short. That is between
7.50 c and 7.70 c the situations seemed
very uncertain, but when the price
broke through the low 1 figures, there
was general confidence In lower prices.
Professionals have some very definite
ideas at tiines, and there was enough
selling to-day to catch stop-loss orders
and hasten the bretik. With the mar
ket weak and in new ground, there
was absolutely nothing in the situation
to induce buying, and the support to
day was as short as it was yesterday.
Light demand seemed to have weaken
ing effect on prices rather than other
wise, and the market was weaker than
for days. Reports from the South show
ed cotton for sale. We will have de
cline now until the market gets over
sold again and shorts cover. It m'ay
be January will have to get nearer
7c before it is to be bought. There will
be deliveries in another week.
J. 8. DACHE fc CO.’S
Dolly Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vick Bfc Cos.
New York. Dec. 20.—Still another low
level was reached this morning, when
January sold ‘at 7.30 c, against 7.50 c,
the low point reached just after the of
ficial estimate, and 7.88 c, the high point
on the following reaction. At this level
the general list showed a net decline
of 11 to 15 points. The market had
opened easy, at a decline of 5 to 10
points in response to lower English
cables than expected, and continued
bear pressure, but after increasing, the
decline by the amount indicated, turn
ed steadier on covering of shorts and
profit taking. The announcement was
officially made that the Census Bureau
would issue the first instalment of the
December report on Wednesday, the
28th., instead of this week, as expected
earlier, and this announcement un
doubtedly had some effect in promoting
expectations of a pre-holiday reaction.
The news from the South did not favor
a further decline on the whole, for
Southern spat holders were reported
unyielding in their attitude toward
buyers .and they are so it is evidenced
to some extent by the lighter
movement. The bears, of course, take
the position that holders will be un
able to maintain their position in the
face of weak future markets, a light
consuming demand and a bearish gin
ners’ report, and claim that there is al
so some speculative interest rep
resented by purchases made on
the break following the bureau early
in the month, in the expectation of a
rally, if not a full and permanent re
covery.
Holding Cotton In Grorgia.
Mr. Charles Neville, traffic man
ager of the Stillmore Air Line, was
in Savannah yesterday on a short
visit to the city. He says that a great
deal of cotton is being held In the in

being stored at Swainsboro and about
1,500 at Wadley.

DRY GOODS MARKET.
New York. Dec. 20. —Buying in the
dry goods market must necessarily be
limited to small proportions until after
the first of the year, and It is a ques
tion whether business will commence
Immediately after that date. No Inti
mation of any willingness on the part
of sellers or manufacturers to make
concessions Is evident, as it is plain to
bo seen that there is little necessity
of forcing business, mills as a rule be
ing wuli sold ahead.
