i Market Declines on General
Liquidation Following Na
tional Ginners’ Report.
NEW YttRK. Dec. 4 -Better cables
than expected and improved foreign sit
uation resulted In the 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 during 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
t ions.
The National Ginners' report showed
11,967.000 bales ginned to December 1.
compared with 1.0.300,000 bales last
month. This brought about a heavy sell
ing wave, led by the ring crowd, and all
the initial gains were lost. December
receded to 12.30. January to 12.40. March
to 12.46 and Maj- 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 tlie opinion seems io prevail
that the 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
I the decline.
At the 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.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 4 Liverpool
came in very strong this morning, with
I futures about 7 points higher than due:
spots 12 points higher. Cables report
small 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. The 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 trade rather
looks for ginnings around 11,700,000. Bad
weather hampers spot business, but in
terior advices reflect general firmness
and advance in staple premiums. The
'local spot market is easy, factors put
ting out cotton. The usual Christmas of
ferings of smaller lists are coming in evi
dence.

CHICAGO. Dec. 4. Disappointing cables
were the leading weakening factor in
wheat this morning and prices declined
%c Northwestern receipts were consid
erably tn excess of a week ago, as well as
a year ago. and conditions in the Ar
gentine Republic were favorable for an
early movement, as the wheat is being
cut there as rapidly as possible. Decem
ber wheat at Chicago held rather steady
at 84%c to S4'%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 May.
While the wheat market closed %o
lower for the May future and was off %c
for December and ',<• for July, these final
recessions were on profit-taking by longs
and resting spots were : ' 8 c to %c below
the highest prices of the day The mar
ket was quite an uneasy affair. Export
ers at Kansas City were said to be
paying I%c over the price of yesterday
for the No. 4 and the December future
in that market was up sharply.
Corn closed with December %(■ higher.
May %'.• lower and the July about %c
1 lower From present indications there
is likely to be more or less trouble
among the bears to even up their posi
tion.
Gats closed %c lower to unchanged and
hog products, while showing but little
net change for the day. were irregular
and unsettled.
Cash sales for the day were wheat 5.000
bushels, corn 40.000 bushels and oats 95.-
000.
