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.

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.

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 ginning figures are only a stand-off.
