rNEWS AND”GOSSIP
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 crojw more rapidly
than even before. Many say 90 per cent
has been ginned up to December 1,
against 82.4 last year and 87.7 in 1910.
After December 1, last year, there were
3,292,000 bales ginned; in 1910, there were
1,800.000 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
[ hie: "Market improved in consequence
of nervousness of parties who are sh-prt
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.

Early Gain Lost on Heavy Profit
Taking—Prices Practically
Unchanged.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9. —A bullish census
report this morning, which planed total
ginned hales to December 1 at 11,844,-
432. resulted in the cotton market here
opening steady, with prices a net gain of
Lr. points from Saturday’s final.
Hits report figures were compared with
12,816,807 bales to December 1, 1911.
Traders wgre. 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 ttie bulge
by longs. Larger spot houses were the
principal buyers, with the ring crowd
leading sellers. After the call the market
was steady, with prices sagging around
the opening quotations.
Hammering by- the ring erowtl 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 vet 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 cluse 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.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW 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 & Co., 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 gitfnings are 90 per cent or more of
the total. Bears point to the excess over
last year in ginnings for the period and
the heavy weight. Official w-eight returns
show an average weight per bale for the
belt at the end of the 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 rtlarket 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.
