GRAIN.
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—The wheat market
was %©%c higher this morning, with
the advance in cables and the unfavorable
crop reports from the Argentine repub
lic the leading influences. Shorts were
on the buying side and there was some
investment demand. The offerings were
held rather tightly. Northwestern receipts
were small, yet they exceed those of a
year ago. while Winnipeg receipts were
considerably smaller than for the same
day in 1911. Argentine shipments were
larger than expected by about 400,000
bushels and the visible supply in that
country, while 80.000 bushels smaller than
a week ago, was 200,000 bushels in ex
cess of a year ago.
Corn was- fractionally better with
shorts again buyers. Argentine ship
ments were liberal at 5.100,000 bushels
and the receipts there were big. The
visible supply in that country was smaller
than a week ago.
Oats were, stronger with the other
grains.
Provisions were fractionally better.

IN COTTON PRICE
Early Decline Checked on Cov
ering of Shorts and Ap
pearance of Spinners.
NEW YORK, Dee. s.—Liverpool met
tiie full decline due this morning, re
sulting in the cotton market here open
ing barely steady at a net decline of 2
points front last night's close. Further
complications of the foreign war also
proved a depressing factor. Heavy liqui
dation prevailed at the outset, resulting
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 interests absorbed the con
tracts remarkably well, and after the
call the general option list rallied within
about a 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 carriel 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 w ill be of a nervous character.
At tiie 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. 3.- 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. m. 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
h - in New Y'ork. which caused a decline
of 22 points to 12.40 for March.
New Y'ork 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 frqm the first depres
sion, support was less eager and trading
nervous.
It is considered possible that there may
be 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
bales, with 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.
Owing to the very large stock afloat for
Europe and consequent prospects of large
landings, it is reasonable to expect
larger mill takings this week than cor
responding time last year.

I NEWS AND GOSSIP'
Os the Fleecy Staple j
NEW YORK. Dec. 5. —N S. Carpenter,
Baggot Ji- 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
Hie 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 Interests. It Is ru
mored that the Reid-Moore party has
concertedly ami 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 tied up on railroads. Expect
glnners 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 liquidai\ng 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, Marsh and McGhee
were the leading sellers. The market was
very quiet during the forenoon trading
with tight trading.
The reactionary tendency of the mar
ket came just about as precipitant as
the upward movement recently.
The coming bureau report Monday is
being anticipated to be very bearish.
Some say it will indicate a crop ap
proximately 14,500,000 bales.
Liverpool is getting in its right steps
again. Cates there have increased won
derfully during the past three days.
The big and old bulls have side
stepped, giving the 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 fields are almost bare of
cotton. In some sections picking and
ginning is entirely finished.
Dallas wires: "Texas generally cloudy,
damp and warmer: Oklahoma, eastern,
clear. balance cloudy, damp and
warmer.’’
Following are 11 a. tn. bids: December,
12.23; January, 12.34; March, 12.41; May,
12.38.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec 5. -Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows cloudy
over entire belt, 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
456.000 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, showing 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 has 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 14,500.000, 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. Under
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.
Liverpool cables due tomorrow 2 points
higher on December and 5% to 8% points
higher on other positions.

The provisions market was easier at the
