iMarket Declines on General,
Liquidation Following Na
tional Ginners’ Report.
NEW YORK. 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 dose. 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
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, anti all
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 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
sftem to have sidestepped for the mo
ment to let liquidators finish. Memphis
was reported a heavy seller here, hut spot
interests continued to absorb contracts at
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.

NEW YORK. Dec. 5 Liverpool met
the full decline title this morning, re
sulting in the cotton market here open
ing barely steady at a net decline of 2
points from last night's close. Further
complications of the foreign war also
proved a depressing factor. Heavy Iktui

in a further decline of 7 to 13 points from
the early range.
The ring crowd and commission houses
led the selling movement. However,
larger spot .nterests absorbed the con
tracts remarkably well, and after the

about 5 points from the opening.

GRAIN.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5. —Hot winds in south
ern Argentina caused advances of %d to
%d at Liverpool this morning, and with
an improved demand for cargoes and tlie
fact hat winter lias set in in .earnest in
our own Northwest, were tlie bullish
helps in wheat early in tlie day. Offer
ings in the pit were smaller and the de
mand was more liberal. Northwestern
and Winnipeg receipts are considerably
in excess of a year ago. Chicago re
ceipts were small
Corn was %c to %c higher on the prom
ise of unfavorable weather throughout the
belt and the buying by shorts.
Oats were %<■ to %c better on short
covering.
The provisions market was easier at the
opening in the face of a stronger hog
market at tlie yards.

CHICAGO. Dec 4.- Disappointing cables ■
were tlie leading weakening factor in
wheat this morning and prices declined <
',Northwestern receipts were consid
ernbly in excess of a week ago. as well as 1
jt year ago, and conditions in the Ar- a
gentine Republic were favorable for an
early movement, as the wheat is being
cut there as rapidly as possible. Decern- ■
her wheat at Chicago held rather steady .
at 84%e to 84%c. ’
Corn showed considerable strength early • ‘ll
in rlie 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 %c
lower for the May future and was off %c
for liecember and %c for .Tuly, these final si
roe 'ssims were on profit-taking by longs
and resting spots were %c to %c below
the highest prices of the day. The mar- I
ket was quite an uneasy affair. Export
ers at Kansas City were said to be I
paying l%c over the price of yesterday
for the No. 4 an<l the December future
in that market was up sharply.
Corn closed with December %c higher, |
May %c lower and the July about %c
lower From present indications there
is likely to he more or less trouble
among the bears to even up their posi
tion.
Oats closed %c lower tn unchanged and
hog products, while showing but little
net change for the day, were irregular
and unsettled
Cash sales for the day were wheat 5,009
bushels, corn 40,000 bushels and oats 95,- j
000.
