Lehigh Valley was ’heavy, acting in sym
pathy with Reading. It lost 1% in the

Entire Day—Small Changes
Noted at Close.
AORK, Dec. 16 Firmness in
cables resulted in the cotton market here
opening steady today, with prices a net
gain ot 5 to 9 points from the closing
prices o. Saturday. Immediately after
the opening prices ..throughout the list set
new high levels for the Beason. March
and May both rallied to 13c. The buying
at the outset was heavy, with local shorts
covering and the large spot interests
leading the aggressive movement. Those
inclined to the selling side Saturdav were
good buyers. After the call the market
was barely steady, with prices sagging to
the initial figures. The selling was very
light and scattered.
During the late forenoon the selling
became general and it was said some
scattered longs sold cotton, taking profit,
also the local operators sold short, ex
pressing their opinion that 13c cotton was
too high for the moment and as there was
no evidence of leading interests’ support
to the market, prices in most active posi
tions soon showed depression, receding 12
to 15 points from the opening quotations.
It is apparent that on all soft spots the
spot interests seem to be the leading buy
ers. The opinion prevails that as long ns
the spot situation continues strong it is
not reasonable to expect any decline of
any consequence. The bulls are advising
their friends to buy cotton at present
prices.
Apprehension regarding the census re
port to be issued Friday, December 20, at
9 a. m., are in much favor of the bull, as
the argument is that this report will show
figures aroun<| 400,000 bales ginned from
December 1 to December 13, and it is be
lieved the market will be in a waiting
attitude until after its publication.
A general buying movement prevailed
during the last hour of trading, resulting
in a <piick advance, prices regaining most
of the early decline. At the close the
market was steady, prices showing ir
regularity. ranging from unchanged to 3
points off to 4 points higher than the
final quotations of Saturday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 16. Liverpool
cables and quotations show’ the develop
ment of a strongly bullish feeling and
tendency. Futures there were about 7
points higher than due; spots 3 points
higher. Cables report McFadden a large
buyer.
Our market opened 5 to 7 points higher
and soon showed a gain of 10 points. The
coming census report is conceded a de
cided advantage to the bull faction, ami
there are no sellers except longs selling
out at times to secure profits. New’ York
advanced to 13c for March and May and
there was the usual reaction from realiz
ing at the round figure, but In the face
of further acute weakness in the stock
market the market absorbed this selling
rapidly.
Spots are quiet, but not showing the
least pressure to sell. An improvement in
the demand is expected in the next ten
days, as December export commitments
have to be filled.

READING RULING
Dismissal of the Conspiracy
Charge Causes Leading Is
sues to Score Gains.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEl\ YORK. Dee. 16.- Weakness ruled
in the railroad shares at the opening of
the stock market today. Canadian I'aeific
losing 3 points on first sales and Reading
dropping 2% from Saturday's final. There
was a bearish feeling among the traders
over the Imenidlate stock market out
look and speculators hesitated about buy
ing in the face of a possible adverse de
cision in the Minnesota rate ease, which
was expecteo to come from the supreme
court during the day.
Among the declines in addition to those
mentioned were Amalgamated Copper %
American Smelting Atchison %, Bal
timore and Ohio %. Consolidated Gas %,
and I'nited States Steel common %.
Southern Pacific soon joined the down
ward movement and after fifteen minutes
had lost % from its miening price. \mn
ican Telephone and Telegraph was one ot :
the few specialties which ranged higher, I
opening % up. California Petroleum also ;
declined %.
Prices continued their downward trend
in the late forenoon. Reading led this
movement, falling to 158 3-4. a net loss of,
4% points. Consolidated Gas, Smelting ,
and General Electric declined 1'... points
and losses ranging around 1 point were ,
recorded in I'nion Pacific, I’nited States'
steel common, I'tah Copper. I tilted States
Rubber. American Can and California Pe- '
troleum. Fractional recessions occurred
in I.ehigh Valley. Atchison and Amalga
mated Copper. Call money was steady
at 4 3-4 |>er cent.
A slump of 7% points was caused In
Reading during the afternoon session by
tlie supreme court decision in the an
thracite trust suit. Reading is one of
the heaviest coal owners among the rail
roads and was hit hard by the decision.
After selling down to 156. the stock rallied
on supporting orders.
Strength in Heading was the feature
of the last hour’s trading. Reading ad
vanced to 167%, or 4% above Saturday's
final, and 11% above the lowest range of
today I'nion Pacific was active anil ad
vanced about 4 points. The list was
strong After reaching 156 Reading
started to advance and soon recovered its
loss. At 1:30 it was selling at 165, or 9
points .above the lowest [trice of the day.
The market closed steady; governments
steady; others steady.
