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. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

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.

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.
