December in all markets had a good

Market Declines on General
Liquidation Following Na
tional Ginners’ Report.
NEW YORK. Dec. 4.—Better cables
than expected and improved foreign sit
uation resulted in tlie cotton market here
opening steady, with first prices aggre
gating 11 to 16 points advance from last
night's close. Heavy buying orders at the
outset also helped the advance. Liverpool
cabled: "Local traders bulling on scarcity
of offering." The selling pressure which
prevailed dining the last hour yesterday
was not in evidence, which was a stimu
lating factor. Larger spot interests led
the aggressive movement. After the call,
the trading was of a light character, with
prices sagging about the initial quota
tions.
The National Ginners' report showed
11,967,000 bales ginned to December 1.
compared with 10.300.000 bales last
month. This brought about a heavy sell
ing wave, led by the ring crowd, and al!
the Initial gains were lost. December
receded to 12.30. January to 12.40, March
to 12.46 and May to 12.43, and during
the afternoon session prices aggregated 6
to 13 points decline from the previous
close.
However, the decline was slow and
slight, as the opinion seems to prevail
that ihe quantity of cotton yet to come
in sight is much smaller than many real
ize, as reports continue to indicate there
Is very little cotton left in the fields,
and in some sections the fields are bare.
Wires from over the belt state spots are
not following the decline. The big bulls
seem to have sidestepped for the mo
ment to let liquidators finish. Memphis
was reported a heavy seller here, but spot
Interests continued to absorb contracts at
the decline.
At tlie close the market was steady,
with near positions a net gain of 6 to 11.
and distant months 2 to 3 points higher
than the final quotations of Tuesday.

I spots 12 points higher. Cables report
Ismail offerings and strong Manchester
■ and American buying. The advices from
New York yesterday that bull forces had
again combined for another bull cam
paign are considered supported by the
rapid advance in the English market.
The map shows splendid rains all over
Texas. This is the second good rainfall
there this winter, ‘tlie contract market
opened 12 to 15 points higher and held
steady, with only small occasional depres
sions. There is no belief in the large
ginning forecasts and the tiade rather
looks for ginnings around 11.7C0.000. Bad
weather hampers spot business, but in

wheat this morning and prices declined

at 84%c to 84%c.
Corn showed considerable strength early
in the day, as the offerings were only
moderate and shorts were the buyers.
There is a big open interest In the Maj
While the wheat market closed %c
lower for the May future and was off %■

Cash sales for the day were wheat 5.W
