THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 191.
LITTLEGHANGES
IN COTTON PRICE
Early Decline Checked on Cov
ering of Shorts and Ap
pearance of Spinners.
NEW YORK, Dec. s—Liverpool met
the full decline due 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 liqui
dation prevailed at the outset, resulting
>n 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 Interests absorbed the con
tracts remarkably well, and after the
call the general option list rallied within
about 5 points from the opening.
Continued selling by the ring and the
Waldorf crowd caused a further decline
during the late forenoon trading. This
wave of selling carried January to 12.23.
March to 12.29 and May’ to 12.27. There
was very little disposition among the bulls
to render support. It was rumored that
scattered long lines have been liquidated.
This is what the big bulls have been
awaiting and the opinion among this ele
ment that the market will find good sup
port from the larger spot interests.
A sudden wave of short covering pre
dominated later with reports that spin
ners have been fair buyers checked the
downward movement in the afternoon
session. This started a rapid advance,
with prices regaining the early declines,
and they were firmly maintained around
the initial figures. Reports from the' belt
are bullish as to the spot situation, and
the ginning report Monday will practi
cally wind up this season’s ginnings.
Until this report is made public the mar
ket will be of a nervous character.
At the close the market was firm with
prices ranging net unchanged to 9 points
higher than the final quotations of Wed
nesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. s.—Liverpool
came in about 3 points lower than due,
but shows large spot sales, 10,000 bales,
5 points lower. The Liverpool exchange
cabled that their market will remain
open until 8 p. in. on next Thursday,
Bureau day. Our market opened un
changed to 2 points higher and trading
showed confidence, but heavy liquida
tion and a sharp break occurred sudden
ly in New York, which caused a decline
of 22 points to 12.40 for March.
New York news yesterday was that
leading longs appeared to be lightening
their loads prior to Monday's census re
port, and information was received this
morning that prominent interests are
liquidating freely. This, of course, af
fected confidence and while the market
rallied 14 points from the first depres
sion, support was less eager and trading
nervous.
It is considered possible that there may
he further liquidation in the market be
tween now and Monday, but views as to
the government crop estimate next
Thursday are unanimously bullish and
this probably accounts mainly for the
steady buying on depressions. The gov
ernment crop figures on Thursday are
expected to be small, under 14,000,000
bales, witli 13.700,000 about the average
expected.
The into-sight for the week looks
around 630,000. against 608.000 bales last
vear. and we compare with mill takings
of 456,000 bales this week last year.
<’wing to the very large stock afloat for
Europe and consequent prospects of large
landings, it is reasonable to expect
larger mill mkirtgs this week than cor
responding time last year.

NEWS AND GOSSIP j
Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK. Dec. 5.—N. S. Carpenter,
Baggot & Co.: Liverpool more than met
the decline yesterday and there was con
tinued selling on and after opening.
Shorts covered and buying by some of
the bulls caused a rally, which brought
out a wave of selling by the ring crowd
and commission houses.
The Journal of Commerce says:
“Heavy liquidation reported in cotton for
account of prominent inti rests. It is ru
mored that the Reid-Moore party has
concertedly and completely changed their
market attitude and are selling."
Paris, Texas, wires: “Cotton about all
out in this portion of the country, ex
cept what is tietl up on railroads. Expect
ginners large, account good weather.
This ginners’ report will represent nearly
entire crop in this section. Some large
gins only running two or three days a
week. Some closed for season."
This market is a liquidating one and
no one can tell just where the turn
will be.
Pearsall. Gumeens and Weld brokers
and Gifford were the best buyers today.
Hubbard, Waters. Marslt and McGhee
were the leading sellers. The market was
very quiet during the forenoon trading
with tight trading.
Tito reactionary tendency of the mar
ket came just about as precipitant as
the upward movement recently.
The coming bureau report Monday is
being ijntieipaieil to lie very bearish.
Some say it will indicate a crop ap
proximately 14,500,000 bales.
Liverpool is getting in its right steps
again. Cales there have increased won
derfully during the past three days.
The big and old bulls have side
stepped, giving Hie reaction its full
course.
Large spot houses continue their ag
gressiveness, as reports from over the
belt are very bullish as to the spot situa
tion. saying the fieldst are almost bare of
cotton. In some sections picking and
ginning is entirely finished.
I’alius wires: "Texas generally cloudy,
damp and warmer: Oklahoma, eastern,
clear, balance cloudy, damp ami
warmer."
Following are 11 a. m. bids: December,
12.23; January, 12.34; March, 12.41; Mav,
12.38.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5. Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows cloudy
over entire bell, except fair in Oklahoma.
General rains throughout, except north
Texas and Oklahoma. Indications are
for clearing and much colder in Texas.
Oklahoma and Arkansas. Cloudy and
raining elsewhere, followed by clearing
and colder Saturday.
Consols unchanged; rentes 25 higher:
bullish comparisons of mill takings ex
pected tomorrow as we compare with
4;>t»,000 bales last year and 380,000 bales
year before.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: After an early show of strength
yesterday’s cotton market developed a
reactionary tendency, and lost rapidly
A guess at the ginnings to the close of
November, sitowing full figures for Geor
gia and Texas, was given as the cause
of the decline, but it is more than prob
able that, bullish caution lias prompted
many longs to reduce their lines prior
to the promulgation of the agricultural
bureau’s crop estimate next week. No
body seriously believes the government's
utterance will forecast a crop in excess
of 14..,00,000, linters and other additions
included, and most everybody seriously
expects actual consumption to exceed
that figure. However, prices are much
higher than they were earlier in the sea
son, exporters, are showing singular
apathy in the matter of ocean freight
room engagements, and the American
markets have been running too close to
Liverpool to permit parity trading. I nder
such conditions reactions downward are
logical and to be expected.
Following are 10 a. m. bids: Decem
ber, 12.41: January, 12.50; March, 12 58.

OPINIONS IN WHEAT’
SOMEWHAT CONFUSED
CHICAGO, Dee. 5. —The Inter-Ocean
says:
“Wheat traders were mixed In their
opinions last night, but sentiment ap
peared to lie less bearish and the spec
ula uve atmosphere was more In favor of
sustained values, although a majority of
trailers die not look for anything but a
scalping market. Corn traders look upon
tlie December option as a weather prop
osition. letc’pts and cash demand. There
is a big holding of December by strong
Interests and It Is difficult to buy. Weak
shorts are said to have been run in on
all deliveries, and the big ones who cov
ered on the recent breaks are waiting for
a further bulge to put out their lines
attain."

i'HICAGO, Dec. 5.- Hot winds in south
ern Argentina caused advances of %d to

an unproved demand for cargoes and the
fact hat winter has set in in earnest in
our own Northwest, were the bullish
helps in wheat early in the 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 %c to %c. better on short
covering.
Tlie provisions market was easier at the
opening in the. face of a stronger hog
market at the yards.
The weakness in the New York stock
market was a. bear factor in tlie Chicago
wheat situation In addition to the
above as a weakening factor, was a ca
ble from Argentina saying that the
weather is <■<der where hot winds were
reported, and that there were showers In
tile southwest, which were moving north

crop is reported in generally excellent

heavy yields. The Chicago wheat mar
