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. May. 12.63.

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."

Wheat—No. 2 red 106 ® 107 Corn 48 Oats 34% i'HICAGO, Dec. 5.- Hot winds in south ern Argentina caused advances of %d to %d at Liverpool this morning, anti with 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 ward. in the provinces of £ordoba, Santa Fe and northern Buenos Ayres the wheat crop is reported in generally excellent condition, with threshing results showing heavy yields. The Chicago wheat mar ket closed %o t > -’..e higher for the day. Corn closed unchanged to %c lower. (tats were %c to %c higher to un changed. Cash sales here were wheat 30,000 bushels, corn 60,000 bushels, oats 135,000 bushels. Thi' state board reported sales of twelve boat loads of wheat for export. Provisions closed 2%c to 15c higher.
