MONTGOMERY THEATER
PRODUCES ONLY BEST

It matters not when you visit the
1 Montgomery theater, you are certain < t
' one thing, and that is you will be given
( tlie best that years of experience, money
and brains can procure. Mr. Mont
gomery’s one idea is to produce the best
' and cleanest moving picture show in
the count'y, receipts being a secondary
' consideration with him. When Mont
' gomery offers a big production with
some hfgh-class star, it is real, and not
a 200-foot film, as produced by many
cheap moving picture theaters. It it’s at
the Montgomery, it's the best. (Advt.)

COTTON TRADERS
fflll ESTIMATE
Market's Range Narrow in An
ticipation of Census Report
on Bales Ginned.
New Turk, Dec. 7.—Weakness in Liv
erpool cables caused the cotton market ,
here to open barely steady today with |
first prices ranging unchanged to 4 joints (
•ower than last night's close. Immediate- I
ly alter the opening a general buying 1
movement prevailed, coming from many '
different eouices, which was said to have (
resulted from Nell, of London’s, estimate, 1
1,, ae ' ri 8 ’^‘ e commercial crop at 13.900,-
JOO baies, including linters and repacks, I
and after fifteen minutes, prices were 8
o 10 points better than the opening quo- |
rations. The selling was small and scat- 1
tered.
Steadiness in this market today was
largely due to the covering by the local '
crowd and buying for New Orleans ac
count. Trading was very light, but the I
marxet ruled steady throughout the short
?? ss .°. n - disposition prevailed among
tin- big traders to sidestep and await the
census report. However, the market was
rendered good support from a number of
reliable interests. The large spot houses
were principal absorbers. The selling
pressure was not of such a character uiat
it has been for the past week.
This report Monday is causing consid
erable uneasiness both among the high
price men and the low price ones. The
report will be compared with 12.841,832
bales last year for the same period and
10,291,431 to November 14, 1912. The trade
is generally expecting figures around 12.-
0000,000 to December 1 and predicting the
crop estimate to be issued Thursday at
D. 600.000 bales. The bulls are not dis
counting a large ginners report to Decem
ber 1, as the picking has been rushed,
but from many reports from the belt this
season's crop will just about be shown
in the report Monday.
At the close the market was steady
with prices closing practically unchanged
from the final quotations of Friday, being
unchanged to 2 points higher.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEll’- ORLEANS, Dec. 7.—Liverpool is
not very encouraging right now. Futures
were again 4 points lower than due. Spots
11 points lower. A cable said: "Spin
ners disposed to buy only for dally re
quirements, believing in lower prices."
The feeling in our market, however,
whether voluntary or educated, seema
quite bullish. The first trades here were
at an advance of 4 to 7 points and there
was general buying, reflecting the view
that a large census regarded as dis
counted and people are preparing for the
expected small government estimate next
Thursday.
Memphis reported the average guess of
that exchange as 13,986,000 commercial
crop. The continued weakness of the
stock market is said to cause hesitation
in some New York circles. Political ar
ticles in press credit the coming admin
istration with designs of a drastic tariff
revision, and the foremost financial or
gan prints the following on the conti
nental situation: "The financial situa
tion in Italy, Austria, Russia and even
Germany is rather bad."
The market held very steady through
out the day around the opening figures,
showing thai interest is well arranged for
the advertised large ginning figures Mon
day.

NEW YORK. Dee. 7.—Four days' holi
day at both Christmas and New Year.
Trading that week could be stuffed in a
nutshell.
Spinners gave the market support late
yesterday. They bought at the bottom.
Trading yesterday by the Pell interest
was erratic.
The government will issue its ginning
report at tlie opening of the cotton mar
ket Monday.
Certain spot houses that turned bear
ish lately have turned buyers with the
Pell interest.
A wire from Augusta and Savannah,
Ga.. says that spots are firm there and
farmers are now holding back their cot
tun.
January contracts are getting very
scarce.
Many estimate Texas crop at 5,900,000
and Oklahoma 1,250,000 bales, with pick
ing to continue well through January.
liallas wires: "Texas clearing and
cold: 12 degrees above at Amarillo. Okla
homa City generally clear; 20 to 30 de
grees above; light snow."

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—Wheat was tlie
very- smallest fraction lower this morn
ing or, the weakness at Liverpool, and
this, too, in the face of a far-fetched mes
sage, fathered by Broomball, and which
was evidently intended as a help to tlie
wlfeat price, but which attracted no more
than passing attention in the pit here.
While the receipts at the Northwest we e
considerably smaller than a week ago,
they were slightly In excess of a year
ago. At V innipeg they were considerably
smaller than comparative periods. Bad
weather was the cause of the falling off
in the deliveries by farmers.
('oiii was %c to %c lower on favorable
weather for shelling, and movement, and
the weakness at Liverpool on freer re
ceipts there and larger tenders on con
tracts.
Oats were %e lower to uncnanged, in
sympathy with the weakness in wheat
and corn.
Hog receipts were i%c highet and hogs
at the yard were steady.
There was a week-end market In the
wheat pit today and the corn and oats
were inclined to follow in the footsteps
of wheat. It was popular to even up
over Sunday and there was considerable
business of this character. The matter
of sentiment was bearish in all the pits,
as the buying power was missing. There
was a small cash trade in all the pits,
the wheat transactions—all on Interior
milling account -amounting to 60,000
bushels: corn sales were 55,000 bushels,
and oats 135,000 bushels. Resting spots
for tlie day showed wheat % to %c lower:
corn % to %c off, and uats % to %c
lower.
Ilog products were a shade lower.

SHORT INTEREST IN DEC.
GRAIN ABOUT CORNERED
CHICAGO, Dec. 7.—The Inter Ocean
says: A trader, sizing up the situation
In all grains, said prices are too low to
sell short and yet too high to buy. Il
was said that the short Interest in wheat
and December corn and oats had been
cut down greatly in the last two days,
and that a number of longs who bought
early in the week have taken profits. A
good many of the big commission houses
are bearish and the few that are bullish
advocate purchases only- on breaks
Michigan December crop by King, of
Toledo, makes winter wheat condition of
90 against 86 last year, and 58 last July,
when the crop was 5,250,000. Farmers
marketed 2,260,000 bushels wheat during
the past four months. Deliveries of De
cember contracts Friday were 35,000
wheat and 15,000 oats.
