Dec. 17. —In response to firm cables the cotton market opened barely steady with prices 2 to 9 points higher than last night’s close. The ring crowd immediately turned against the market and sold heavily, resulting in a quick decline of 2 to 13 points generally from the opening. The market was ab ('t support from the large interests. The buying came chiefly from scattered spot people. After the call trading was of a light character, with prices a few points higher than the early decline. There was a considerable lot of bearish ness about the ring today and the selling continued general. The ring speculators sold freely, believing that present prices were too high, and it was said Wall Street joined in the selling. 'The prin cipal buying came from the larger spot interests It was said the ring crowd was good and short, and with the con tinued strong spot demand here and In foreign circles, it encouraged the bulls in advising their friends to get on the buying side, as the market does not show any weakness of consequence in .face of general liquidation. During the afternoon session the mar ket was stagnant. The selling continued b\- the ring, however, and offerings were absorbed remarkably well and prices sagged about the low levels, being 8 to 15 points under the initial quotations. The inactivity was logically due to the coming census report Friday on ginned bales up to December 13. The majority of opinions are bullish in forecasting what the figures will be. The trade expects figures between 375.000 and 400.000 bales from December 1 to 13. Reports from oyer the belt say that gins are not gin ning the quantity of botton as in pre vious years, which indicates that this gin ning report will show small figures At the close the market was barely steady, with prices at net decline of 4 to 13 points from the final quotations of Monday. __R * NGE fN NEW YORK FUTURES. o .3 6 d Dee. 12.75 j 2.75112.68 1 2.68 12.63-64 12.73-74 Jan. 12.86112.86 12.65 12.68 12.68-69 12.79-81 Feb. 1 1.2.68-70 12.80-82 Meh. 12.95 12.95 12.72 12.75 12.75-76 12.87-88 April 12.75 12.87 May 112.95 12.95 12.74 12.77 12.76-77 12.89-90 June 12.70-72 12.82 July 12.88 12.88 12.67 12.70 12.69-70 12.82-84 Aug. 112.75 12.75 12.65 12.67 12.58-60 12.71-74 Sept.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 17. Information from Liverpool dwells on the strong support given the market by heavy buy ing of McFadden interests. Futures there this morning were as much as 6 points better than due. although spots were unchanged; sales 8,000 bales. The strength in the English market is in strong contrast to the indifferent tone an<l tendency to ease which has developed on our side this week. Expressions of opinion coming from New York are no longer as confidently in favor of the market as in the past, and many influential traders are reported as having withdrawn from the market for the time being. This change on the eve of the first census report, which wjll most likely give very bullish period ginnings compared with other years, ami favor small crop contentions, comes as a sur prise, but is probably induced by the technical condition in New York, too much company on one side and a desire to real ize and even up before a holiday period. The majority looks at the present halt in concerted activity merely as a rest, but no change in opinion and intention. Our market opened about 6 points hfgher on the strong Liverpool, but the lack of backing in New York made itself felt at once and prices began to crumble to 13c for March.

Under the impression that too many people are ex pecting 14 cents to appear on the cotton market blackboards before Christmas some of the leading bulls who have con sistently adhered to the long side through out th? fall are now preaching the logic ot a reaction; others expect the market to “alt for a while, and still others seem moved by the belief that the edge is off and that the long side of cotton now of fers few, if any, substantial attractions. >ueb. ideas where discussed throughout yesterday’s session and heavy selling pre vailed just before the New Orleans close, whibh broke the March position, surprised nobody. Controlling sentiment is never segre gated. It moves in waves. Recently most everybody, bull and bear alike, was bull ish for the near future. Now most opera tors, bull and bear alike, seem to be slightly bearish for the immediate future The spot markets of the South will, of course, shape the future markets ami the spot markets show no sign whatever of weakening. Meanwhile. Europe reports freer spot offerings by the South ami ship fagents report scant demand for ocean freight room. Spot offerings in increased volume may mean merely that current values are proving attractive enough to loosen up some actual cotton, and when such selling shall have been completed less cotton will be for sale. This sort of thing has occurred repeatedly this season. Following are 10 a. m. bids: January. 12.99; March, 13.04; May. 13.09; July, 13.16; October. 13.07.

There was an ir regular opening in the stock market today with chief interest centering on Reading After opening \ lower. Reading continued ' to drop until it was 2 points under last { night’s closing, then it rallied fractionally' Activity was noted in Pullman Company 1 for the first time in a long period. 'This issue opened at 161, or 1% above Mon- i day’s close. Union Pacific fiuctuated at the opening ! % higher on the first transaction, after I which it dropped It recovered again. ; Lehigh Valley was heavy, acting in svm- i pa thy with Reading. It lost 1% in the first fifteen minutes of trading. Trading 1 in the coalers seemed to indicate that i much of yesterday’s upturn was due to a ' bear stampede. Canadian Pacific, which closed firm in London,, opened 1 point higher here, but lost its gain on the next few sales. United States Steel common was % off at the beginning, increasing this decline to \ within half an hour. Among the other initial declines were Utah Copper, Southern Pacific %, Amalgamated Cop per %, American Smelting 1%. Erie %. Baltimore and Ohio % and American Lo comotive %. Chino-Copper and Colorado Fuel and iron each gained : L«. Ameri can Tobacco was also steady, advancing %• curb was strong. Americans in London showed a cau tious tendency on the part of traders. In the late forenoon prices rallied from 1 to 4 points on vigorous buying. Ameri can Tobacco ami United Stales Rubber were prominent, advancing 4 points each. Reading was in brisk demand, moving up 2% to 168% and a similar gain was made in Lehigh Valley. Amalgamated Copper, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Ana conda Copper moved up more than a point each, while fractional gains were made in American Smelting, Erie, Great North ern preferred and Pennsylvania. Call money is loaning at 5% per cent. The demand eased off in the last hour and recessions were scored in Reading. Union Pacific and other standard shares from the high range of the day Steel common sustained a net loss upon scat tered selling, but American Tobacco showed ex<*eptional strength, gaining about a point. The market closed heavy. Government, bonds unchanged. Other bonds steady. Stock quotations: Last < ‘los. I ’rev STOCKS- High|Low.[Sabe Bid . UI’ se Amal Copper.'. 74 ! 72% 73% 73 73% Am.
