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. RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTJJ RES.

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. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

FnEWS * Os the Fleecy Staple 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."

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. CHICAGO GRAIN MAHKIT. Grain quotations: Prevloui Open. High.

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.
