Success—Mortimer Wilson
Proves Able Conductor.
A . a music lovers today are ciis
:;-ie successful opening of the
,‘7. ' .'.usical season—the first con
v the Philharmonic orchestra at
. . nil yesterday afternoon. The
".'mb-nce and its evident appre
' 7,; music of the high-class gives
. that there will be real interest
in something above ragtime this
r Wilson proved himself a
...p.m.-tm- Os unusual ability by the fln
.,,rk of his orchestra after an ex
inadequate number of rehear
•i-hose who had kept pace with
7 of the orchestra members
knew how limited had been their
'7 ..enmity for ensemble practice were
t 77 t z,-d at tlie finish of the work at the
.p.nmg concert. This was particularly
■7iihig in the rendition of Beethoven’s
.-.at Fifth Symphony, a work worthy
i ih>- greatest of orchestras, and one
7hici would be utterly ruined by a sec
, .rate organization. It was played
nagnifle-ntly.
i itli' numbers were the Lohengrin
Iseluylkowsky’s Slavic march
, 7. von Weber’s famous "Jubl-
" overture.
T re ’.as no “light music” on the
„,.„ gri .but the audience, easily the
imprest ever attendant upon a phil
,hl7ll(,nic concert in Atlanta, seemed
-..uirb’.y to enjoy and appreciate the
recital.

Nl.\\ YoltK. l>,.e. 9.--A bullish census
ii|n i t ’his m. riJ-ig. which placed total
I i ’.i!J ned ball:' to December 1 at 11.844,-
'32. resulted in the eutfon ma: ket here
opening steady, with prices a net gain of
12 to 21 points from Saturday's tinal.
This report iigures were compared with
12.816,807 bales to December I. '9ll.
Traders were Inclined to use these fig
ures as merely a stand-off and a heavy
buying movement prevailed at the out
set. The selling was rather general, which
seemed to be profit-taking on the bulge
by longs. Larger spot houses were the
principal buyers, with the ring crowd
leading sellers. After the cal! the market
I was steady, with prices sagging around
I the opening quotations.
Hammering by the ring crowd and
; heavy profit-taking during the forenoon
| trading, combined with bearish senti
ments. caused the market to weaken, with
prices receding an aggregate decline of 9
to 20 points from the Initial figures.
The bureau report shows figures a little
more than a million bales behind last
year’s ginning, and the crop turned out
to be more than 16,000.000 bales, but re
ports from over the belt say that ex
, cellent weather has caused fast pick
ing which indicates quick ginning, and
about 2.000,000 bales are yet to be ginned,
which indicates a crop of approximately
13.500,000 bales.
Thursday the government will make
public its annual estimate of the com
mercial crop, and it is believed this
market will be a waiting affair until this
report is out of the way. However, the
average trader is inclined to liquidate,
as the majority of opinions are that fig
ures will be of a bearish character, giv
ing the yield an estimate of about 14.500.-
000 bales.
At the close the market was barely
steady, with prices showing irregularity,
ranging from 2 points lower to 5 points
higher than the final quotations of Satur
day.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NKW ORLEANS. Dec. 9. Liverpool
opened the week with a steady market;
futures about 8 points higher, against 3
points higher due. Spots 8 points higher;
the estimate of 13.745,000 bales commer
cial crop, including linters by Alexander
Eccles &■ < 'o., the leading Liverpool spot
house, is thought to have been mostly
responsible for the strength. The census
report gave 11,844,432 ginned to Decem
ber 1. against 12,816,807 last year, and
10.139,712 in 1910. This report leaves crop
ideas as divergent as ever. Bulls claim
that ginnings are 90 per cent or more of
the total. Bears point to tlie excess over
last vear in ginnings for the period and
the heavy weight. Official weight returns
show an average weight per bale for the
belt at the end of tlie first three months
of the season of 527.19, against 521.03
pounds last year.
The market acted in a peculiar man
ner. It opened about 18 points higher in
sympathy with a high opening in New
York, but lost nearly all the advance in
side of half an hour, apparently on profit
taking by longs.
The market ruled very steady at the
decline, around 12.60 for March. Many
look upon the easiness as of tactical
origin to clear the market of weak inter
est before bureau day.

Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—N. L. Carpenter
& Co.: S. Tate says: “The ginners’ fig
ures are regarded as confirming individ
ual advices that the exceptionally fa
vorable open weather -had enabled the
farmers to gin this crop more rapidly
than ever before. Many say 90 per cent
hats been ginned up to December 1,
against 82.4 last year and 87.7 in 1910.
After December I, last year, there were
3,292,000 bales ginned; in 1910, there were
11,800,000 ginned. It is not believed there
will be 2.000.000 more ginned the balance
of this season.
“I do not believe there will be cotton
enough produced from this year's yield to
satisfy the world's demand and expect
much higher. Government crop estimate
will be out Thursday. In the meantime,
there may be a waiting market, with little
change in prices, but if reports of near
completion of picking can be relied on.
believe prices will be ultimately very
much higher.”
The ring crowd sold the market heav
ily today, which was largely due to the
weakness here.
Riordan and Mitchell were perhaps the
best buyers during the entire day.
This will be a waiting market until the
government’s crop estimate is out of the
way.
Browne, Drakeford & Co., Liverpool, ca
ble: “Market improved in consequence
of nervousness of parties who are short
prior ginners, continent and Weld buy
ing."
Schill,. Hicks. Watkins, Hartcorn,
Schley and Mitchell were the leading
buyers today. Hentz, Cohen and Hub
bard were the principal sellers.
Most conservative operators say the
