BNCECOTTON Bulls Ignore Bearish Figures in Reports and Spots Fail to Follow Decline. NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—lncreased sales in Liverpool caused the cotton market I here to open steady, with January dls i playing the greatest amount of activity . I Prices opened 3 points lower to 1 point 1 higher than last night's close. There was la heavy demand for January contracts by large suot house traders, which resulted in a sudden upward movement in this option of 14 points. Other posittons fol . lowed the advance, and after fifteen min utes of trading prices aggregated 11 to ] 4 points advance from the opening tig | ores. After the call, the market was 1 steady;, with prices firmly maintained at j the high levels. The selling was small and scattered, with the buving pressure I heavy. Many wires were received today from the belt stating that spots were not fol lowing the decline that prevailed yester day when the market was under heavy liquidation. This created a fear among ibe bears to sell short in face of contin | ued good demand. Heavy buying con | tinned throughout the early session, and ; it was evident that the larger spot inter -1 ests were absorbing the contracts. Jan uary- rallied from 12.35 to 12.58, March I rallied to 12.67. May 12.60 and July tn 12.55. The entire list during the late forenoon stood 15 to 23 points over the opening range. Opinions differ very widely as to the amount of cotton ginned to December 1 Some of the most conservative estimates, such as the national ginners, say 11.850,- 000 hales or over, but many say these figures are too high. However, traders are endeavoring to work prices on a more even basis to meet the bureau report next Monday. The technical position of the market is much stronger than for some time past. At the close the market was steady with, prices showing a net gain of 7 to 17 points from the final quotations of Mon day.

I HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER | • NEW ORLEANS. Dee. 3. It looks as , if the decrease in the spot business at | Liverpool during the last rapid rise to | 6% pence had been by common agree- ; | ment. as. today, when prices dropped near 6%d there was at once, a marked increase in sales—lo,ooo bales; spots 11 lower. 1 >ur market today depended on two pos ' sibilities: The amount of liquidation that 1 would come on it if not supported, or the I strength of professional support to stem I the downward course. Yesterday after i non on late liquidation the market dropped I 8 to 10 points after the close of Liverpool. ■ Gpening trades this morning were, there ( fore, at an advance of 8 points and as | there was no pressure to sell at moment, j general speculation was encouraged and : general buying caused an advance to 12.70 for March. Liverpol cabled that A. .1. Buston estf : mated the crop at 14.100.000 commercial. It was reported that Mr. Turner, of The Memphis Comercial Appeal, estimates the ginnings at 11.700.000. This forecast ranks with Weld's, and there appears to be a wide difference of opinion as to the amount ginned to December 1. which will be published by the government next Monday The National Ginners’ says 11.- 850,000 bales or over. Others say 11.700.- 000 bales or under. The current trade /.pinion considers the National Ginners’ forecast too high and favors the smaller forecasts. According to Mr. Hester, the amount brought Into sight during Novem ber is 2,943.334, against 2.750,018 last year am. the crop in sight at toe close of the first three months of the season is 7,269,- 151 against 7.139,816 last year.

Hay ward A- Clark: The weather map shows cloudy over the belt; general rains in southern half and entire eastern bell. Indications are for more general rains and continued cloudy; little change in temperatures. Spots are dull with no pressure, how- i ever, to sell. The New Orleans Times-I'einoerat says: The extent of the break in cotton values in yesterday’s market surprised every body’, and at the close some reactionaries turned bullish under the belief that Liv erpool this morning would not fully re spond to the American weakness. Con sequently. should Liverpool report a full decline another slump will probably be recorded on this side today, without direct reference to the primary essentials of supply and requirement. Meanwhile, the bear on cotton, as far as possible, ignores the plentiful evi dence of heavy consumption, and devotes his entire time to the discussion of the volume of supply and of technical condi tions. He believes the interior lias been speculating extensively in actual cotton: that middlemen own many bales they have not hedged, and that outsiders, who are weak on the declining market, hold the bulk of the long contracts that have been sold across the New York ring during the recent weeks. \\ ith this belief as a basis, it is a very i easy matter to describe a very bearish ■ condition of affairs cottonwise. The I slump in export freight room engage ments is made to appear as conclusive evidence that Europe has received enough cotton The strength of spots in tiie interior all season is made to appear as final proof of spot speculation. The un favorable dividend showing of the Fall River mills is made to serve as an index to poor textile trade at home. The mag nitude of the into-sight movement is ex ploited solely as a pointer to the presence of a surplus supply in the interim'. Following are 19 a. tn. bids: December 1.2.61. January 12.61.

I HABRIHIN STOCK Uncertainty Over Union Pacific Decision Causes Liquidation With Sharp Decline. Sy CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK. Dee. s.- Although the j stock market opened firm today with a number of advances scattered through out the list, after ten minutes, uncertain ty developed, which indicated that the in itial trading had been bolstered by fic titious support from traders who feared I otherwise the effect of the supreme court decision dissolving the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Union Pacific common o; ened at 171%.. a gain of 1%. but after ten minutes had dropped to 170%. a net loss of %. Southern Pacific opened % higher. Among the other gains in the first ten minutes of trading were Baltimore and Ohio %, Reading %, St. Paul %, Rock Island %. Amalgamated Copper %. United States Steel common %. After fifteen minutes' trading. Southern Pacific also began to go down and developed more weakness than its twin stock. Union Pacific. After selling at 109%, this stock declined 1% to 198%. I-arge blocks of the stock were thrown upon the market by traders who feared a future dissolution agreement’s effect upon the road's management. Canadian Pa/’ifie. after opening ’j up. lost % United States Rubber continued Its leadership of the specialties, gain ing %. The crub market was strong Price movements in the late forenoon were very irregular. Southern Pacific was the most prominent feature. This sold off to 106%, then rallied to 107%. showing a net loss of 2%. Union Pacific dropped to 170%. a net loss of 1%. On the other hand, Reading was exceptionally strong, moving up a point to 172%. Price movements in the greater part of the list were to substantially lower figures. One of the most important factors in the last hour was the absence of de mand for many of the specialties, in which there has been considerable pool activity lately. Substantial recessions ranging from 1 to 3 points occurred in many stocks. The general list was heavy. London was a moderate buyer of Steel common and Union Pacific taking about 16,000 shares.

From a bear standpoint, there was nothing new in the situation. They called attention to the increased selling pressure on May above 90c, while admitting that the wheat disappears on all breaks below that figure, but believe it is only a temporary resting level. The few bears to be found $n com last night said that any good advance would be welcome, as it would enable them to put out fresh lines to better advantage; also, in all probability, increase the selling by the country." =ii _ - —it= ■ t ESTABLISHED 1861 Lowry National Bank OF ATLANTA Capital and Surplus . . . $2,000,000.00 Undivided Profits .... 224,000.00 A Savings Account begun now with $5.00 or .so. and regularly added to. may become the foun dation of your own business, the beginning of your tiuanvial independence or the security and comfort of a home when your earning powers are much less than they are today.
