SHORT COVERING I
BOOSTS COTTON
Firm Cables and Expectation of
Bullish Bureau Report Stim
ulating Factors.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Firmness in ca
bles and a wave of short covering result
ed in the cotton market here opening
® tea dY today, with prices a net gain of 9
to 12 points from the final of Monday.
Larger spot houses were also good buy
ers. After the call the ring crowd ham
mered, which brought out a wave as sell
ing from a number of good sources, and
prices fell 5 to 7 points from the first
quotations.
„ T* ie heavy selling pressure from Wall
btreet interests and Liverpool, also from
New Orleans amd London, caused the mar
ket to develop a sagging tendency dur
ing the early forenoon trading with prices
receding about 10 points from the first
figures. The bulls show no evidence of
supporting the market, but brokers who
usually represent spot interests were the
leading buyers on the decline. Manj< of
the shrewd ring operators believe that
there has been a large short interest
accumulated which will likely force the
market higher before the publication of
the bureau report Thursday. On the
other hand, many say the market is pretty
well evened up, and there will be very
little business until after the report.
Opinions as to what size of figures this
report will make public for the estimate of
the season’s yield differ very widely.
However, the majority of traders expect
figures around 13.750,000 bales, which is
about the most substantial and popular
expectation to be had.
Renewed activity was shown in the
market during the late trading, when a.
wave of buying from the ring crowd
prevailed, and prices immediately ral
lied to the best figures of the day.
At the close the market was firm with
prices showing a net gain of 11 to 20
points from the final quotations of Mon
day.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 10. —Liverpool
came in strong with futures about 5
points better than due and spots 3 higher.
We had quite a conservative waiting
market here . this morning. Opening a
little higher on the good Liverpool and rul
ing steady at opening figures. Without
disturbing factors, the strongly bullish
opinion of the cotton situation itself,
would probably already have established
higher values. But interference by po
litical prospects, as reflected in the stock
market on this side and war news or
rumors on the other side, has been felt
lately by a certain reserve in speculative
support.
The cotton market interest should be
pretty well arranged to receive the gov
ernment estimate this coming Thursday
at 1 p. m., our time. The majority look
for a small estimate, under 14,000,000
bales. The government gives 500 pounds
gross weight bales growth without linters
or repacks. Last year’s government es
timate was 14,885,000 bales of 500 pounds
gross weight without linters, against the
actual growth as given by Mr. Hester of
16,501.000 bales of average weight of 51.3.72
pounds, including about 600.000 linters,
etc.

NEWS AND GOSSIP
Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW Y’ORK, Dec. 10.—N. I* Carpenter
& Co.: Liverpool advance was said to be
on continental selling and American buy
ing. There was a wave of selling on
opening here from ring scalpers and Wall
Street interests.
T. H. Price estimates commercial crop
for season at 14,500.000 bales.
Warehouse stocks in New Y’ork today
66,193, certificated 54,630.
Weld. Schill and Hentz were good buy
ers. Wall Street, locals and Liverpool
good sellers. Business was of a small
character.
It is said that the ring crowd is good
and short and many expect to see the
market make a sudden leap.
Hammering by the ring crowd caused
the decline after the call.
Norden, Wilson, Pearsall and Gifford
were the leading sellers today.
The Journal of Commerce says: "There
was less than usual effect shown in the
government report throughout the dry
goods section.”
Dallas wires: "Texas—Partly cloudy
to cloudy and cold. Oklahoma —Generally
fair to cold.”
Browne, Drakeford & Co., Liverpool, (fa
ble: "The market has advanced in con
sequence of nothing offering; sellers
scarce; scattered buying; also Weld buy
ing.”
It is said that some mills have sold
their output to next September without
buying the cotton to make the yarn.
George W. Neville, president of the
New York cotton exchange, gave out an
estimate on the crop at 14,22a,000 to 14,-
500,000 bales, based chiefly on the size
of the Texas crop.
C. T. Revere estimates the crop at 14,-
155,000 bales.
Thursday the government will issue its
estimate on the commercial crop.
Following are 11 a. m. bids: December
12.27, January 12.38, March 12.47, May
12.42. July 12.37.
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 10. Hayward *
Clark: The weather map shows fair in
Atlantics, Alabama. Cloudy elsewhere.
No rain except sprinkle in central and
south Texas. Indications are for fair in
Carolinas, cloudy and warmer elsewhere,
making for rainy weather; warmer by
Wednesday night or Thursday.
English consols %d lower at 75%d.
We will require $3 per bale on all mar
gined business over government bureau
Thursday.
Liverpool cables: "Market advanced
on fair spot demand, light offerings and
Weld buying.”
New York wires: "Looks like good buy
ing orders under market. Weld buying.
Think will do better.”
Spots dull but no pressure to sell.
Spot interests appear aslo waiting for
government estimate to get clearer view
of values.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Ginning returns to December 1 of 11.841,-
000 bales fell below expectations by about
100.000 bales and the market advanced
a little on the reading of the report.
Later on liquidation of long interest was
( encouraged by some of the leading bulls,
whose object seems to be to clear the
( way for an advance in the event the
government crop estimate Thursday
should fall well below 14,000,000 bales,
exclusive of linters and repacks. Bears,
thinking they helped the bulls get the
weak brother out of the way by using
the time-honored argument that heavy
bales indicate heavy yield. In this cuso.
however, the average weight of the ba! ?
is 527.19 pounds, against 521.3 pounds last
year, and this may be directly traceable
to the fact that the cost of bagging and.
ties this year is 50 per cent greater than
last year, and by the further fact that no
more bagging and ties are purchased to
cover a 527-pound bale than to cover a
521-pound bale.
The quantity of cotton ginned to De
cember I exceeds that ginned to the same
date in any previous year except If 11.
For this reason, the big crop man feels
confident the yield for the season will
greatly exceed that in 1903-1909, the
largest crop prior to the freak yield of
1911.
Following are 10 a. m. bids: January
12.60, March 12.65', May 12.70, July 12.76.
Estimated receipts Wednesday:
1912. 1.911.

BULLISH BUREAU REPORT
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-—The Inter-Ocean
says: "Wheat raders paid little attention
of the government crop report on winter
wheat, as it is a long way to spring and
many things can happen in the next four
months. The short interest is not re
garded as large, and with a distressed
stock' market and tight money market,
I it was said there was a lot of liquidation
By longs after the ncW low level was
reached. Bearish houses said they saw
nothing to induce investments buying de
spite the decline.”

By C. W. STORM.
NEW Y’OllK, Dee. 10. —Bears attacked
the stock market at the opening today
and under the leadership of about a half
dozen standard issues the list sold off,
some prices being the lowest in many
months.
Amalgamated Copper opened 1 point
lower and within ten minutes had in
creased its net decline to 1%. Consoli
dated Gas was another weak feature, los
ing 1% on the first sale. American Can,
which has been among the har lest hit
issues on the present movement, fell
1%. Western Union was sold in bulk,
losing t point on the first transactions.
Traders attributed the bear campaign to
reported drastic plans bv the congres
sional committee investigating the money
trust and to disquieting reports relating
to the Austro-Russo-Servian situation.
Among the declines within the first
half-hour of trading were: American
Meet Sugar %. Westinghouse Electric •%,
United States Steel %, United States
Rubber %, Union Pacific %. Tennessee
Copper Vs. Southern Railway %, Southern
Pacific %, Republic Iron and Steel V t ,
Reading %. Northern Pacific %, New
York Centra! Vj, Missouri, Kansas and
Texas %, Great Northern %, Erie %,
Missouri Pacific %, and Lehigh Valley 4 .
After half an hour a better tone pre
vailed. Reading recovered all its early
losses and gains of were made by
Louisville and Nashville and Great North
ern preferred. United States Steel also
rallied fractional.
The curb was weak. Americans in
London were barely steady, but rueld
above New York parity.
A better tone developed in the late fore
noon and many of the leading issues made
substantial gains from the low level. Na
tional Biscuit, which declined more than
10 points tiring the first hour, moved up
2 points to 115%. Gains ranging around
1, point were made in Lehigh Valley.
United States Rubber and Northern I'aelf
-Ic. Other advances were confined to frac
tions. Call money was steady at 5%.
Trading in the late afternoon was brisk
and many of the largest stocks made
fractional gains. Reading was prominent,
moving up % and similar advances were
noted in American Smelter, Steel com
mon. Missouri Pacific, American Can and
Southern Pacific.
The market closed firm. Governments
firm; other bonds steady.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—The wheat market
was under considerable pressure this it
morning with the government December
report the leading bear help. That docu
nient was construed by the trade as de
cidedly bearish, owing to the excellent
promise of the growing wheat plant. In
addition to that as a bearish help, there
was the unsettled but generally weak ca
bles. While there has possibly been some
crop losses in two of the provinces of
Argentina, threshing returns from Santa
Fe and Cordoba are excellent.
Corn was slightly easier on scattered
selling and a lack ot buying power. There
were large tenders of plate corn at Liv
erpool and that market was lower.
oats were %c lower, in sympathy with
corn.
There was a stronger undertone In the
wheat market as the session drew to a
close today, as shorts were on the buy
ing side and ihe offerings seemed t<
tighten up. The general belief that the
people doing business via the gulf are
making daily sales, helped the situation
no little, as it drove many of the wheat
shorts to cover. Prices closed % to %c %
above lowest levels reached, and they
were t, to ■"• ac higher than the restin;; |
spots of last night.
Corn closed strong and % to %c bet
ter under shorts buying.
Oats were up % to %c with the offer
ings small in the pit and both shorts and
investors buying. The December shorts
uisplayeii considerable uneasiness.
Hog products were 2% to 12%c lower
and the big packers were not only talk- . <
mg licarish on the market, but they woe
delivering out goodly amounts of la: i on
1 )eeember.
