'DARBY ADV aTCaNTA - hMMB ■■■■■■■■■■■■MMHHMBHBiHli BEARISH FIGURES DEPRESS COTTON 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.
