Strong. Aggressive Tendency
Entire Day in Face of Liver
pool Depression.
NE;\V YoRK, Dec. 18. —Depression
shown in Liverpool cables resulted in
the cotton market here opening barely
steady today, with iirst prices a net de
cline of 2 to 8 points from last night’s
close. Trading was of a light character
at the outset. The ring crowd were the
principal sellers, with large spot inter
ests absorbing the offerings. The heavy
selling which predominated yesterday
was not in evidence, and prices after the
call were 2 to 4 points better than the
opening quotations.
The strength of the market during the
initial trading today was a surprise to
the majority of traders in face of the un
favorable Liverpool. It was rumored
last night that the big bulls were throwing
over some of their cott« n. This report
could not be confirmed, but caused sell
ing from this side in Liverpool, also sell- I
ing in this market. It was evident that •
the large spot interests were the leading'
buyers throughout the day, which brought
out a wave of short covering, and the I
market rallied with ease under this rul
ing. January rallied to 12.78. March to
12.85, May to 12.86, July to 12.80 and De
cember to 12.68, aggregating a gain of 10
to IS points from the opening.
The strength in the market was in
fluenced to a great extent on rumors
that the census report Friday would fore
cast light ginning for the period; also the
report that the National dinners would
report 475,000 bales ginned from Decem
ber 1 to 13. The market remained
steady throughout the late trading, very
little cotton was for sale and prices were
firmly maintained at the highest levels
of the day.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing a net gain qf 8 to 12
points, with the exception of September
and October, which closed unchanged
from the final quotations of Tuesday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW « 'RTjEANS. Dec. 18.—Liverpool
today conformed to the decline on our
side since Saturday, showing futures 10
points down, spots 10 points lower; sales
8.000 bales. First trades here were at a
decline of 4 to 7 points. There was rather
less disposition to buy, but the market
seemed to get the support it needed and
the anticipation of a bullish census re
port on Friday checked tiic pressure to
sell. The census report will be published
at 9 a. m., our time, and will give gin
nings to December 13. Owing to the ex
tremely bad weather throughout this pe
riod this year period ginnings are likely to
be very light, in fact, tlie smallest in the
past five years. They are expected td be
around 450.000 for the period, which would
mean a census on Friday of 12,294,000
bales. There was a report today that (lie
final National Dinners makes ginnings for
the period 475,000, giving 12,344,000 ginned
to December 13.
The market rallied in the second hour
to 13c for March, mainly’ on support in
New York. Advices from there said that
bulls were buying against Wall Street
shorts in anticipation of a bullish census.

i NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—N. L.‘Carpenter
• & Co.: There was heavy selling at times
I today which was attributed to Wall Street
; and uptown interests. The leading spot
' houses have been buyers. Spots in good
demand at high basis. Ar long as this
exists it ’s not likely that we will have
i any r serious decline.
I Warehouse stocks in New York today,
certificated, 53,226.
•McGhee was a good seller today, which
was said to have been for Pell.
Parrott, Mitchell, Wilson, Hartcorn and
tone were principal buyers today. Shear
son and McElroy sellers.
Very little cotton was for sale during
the forenoon trading.
McFadden, Mitchell and Weld brokers
were the leading buyers at noon. Moyse
was sai<l to have sold 10,000 March con
tracts at 12.72; Mitchell and McFadden
bought 5,000 each.
Pell & Co. issued a formal denial that
they were bears on the market, saying
that they simply advise caution.
Spinners were said to have bought cot
ton freely yesterday on the breaks.
Mitchell is sticking to his estimate that
the world’s taking of American cotton
will be about 15,000,000 bales.
When Liverpool spot cotton was quoted
at j.lßd, about 10,000 bales were sold.
The first notice day for January con
tracts will be Monday. December 30.
Cotton merchants say it is very hard to
sell high grad? cotton at prevailing pre
; miums, but middle and low grades are
moving remarkably well. Along Worth
street the demand for fine cotton gocxis
are sail to be much poorer than It Is for
I cheaper fabrics, such as drills, sheetings
and print cloths.
The Southern farmers and small mer
chants usual sell their cotton freelj’ to
ward Christmas and this trade will at
tract«interest.
It is believed that big spot houses stand
long about 1,000.000 bales of contract cot
ton by the way they have supported the
market during the past few days.
About the best argument the bears can
say is that 13-cent cotton is too steep.
Norden, Hicks. Hentz, Wilson, McFad
den, Gifford, Mohr and Hubbard were the
leading buyers today. Mc<shee, Geer,
Moyse, Shearson, Rothschild and Schill
were best sellers.

' in some interior sections and the contin
ued slack demand for ocean tonnage play
ing a part in shaping professional senti
ment. The bear talent is coming to rely
on smallness of bookings to affect the 4
market and at the moment at
least collateral developments are encour
aging their views. In a letter to shippers
a Galveston ship agent says: “Get re
fusals; the loading position of the steam
er you need can not always be found, es
pecially so because ship agents, on ac
count of the lack of bookings, are not
chartering steamers ahead or agreeing to
guarantee or promise owners cargoes in
order to get liners on the berth.’’
Yesterday spot men in Oklahoma re
ported actual cotton accumulating, with
no shipping instructions attached, and
Southern spot markets, at least some of
them, gave out a little evidence showing
a slightly easier tendency. In other words,
the reactionary tendency of the contract
market seems predicated on current drift
of something other than mere sentiment,
however, such drift has not yet acquired
potential force.

the strength here, coupled With the im
proved inquiry from the continent for
plate cargoes.
Corn was a shade better, partially' with
the strength in wheat, but mainly be
cause of the smaller offerings. Liverpool
wus stronger on the forecast of smaller
shipments from Argentina this week.
<»ats were easier on increased offer
ings.
Hog products were fractionally lower
und hogs at the yards were steady.
The bulls in wheat had been waiting
for some time for the appearance of a
genuine demand for cash wheat and it
seems as it the buyers have put in an
appearance after so long a time. Besides
a targe business reported in Manitoba,
there was a good trade in our own
wheat on foreign account ami millers took
120,000 bushels here during the day
one large cash handler here said that his
sales while liberal would be much greater
with an ample supply of oars for trans
porting the wheat. Closing for the day
showed the market us t M c higher.
Corn wus in demand from shorts and
investors late and there was a better
rash lemand also, with sales of 155,000
bushels. The ciose was ‘\r to %c better
Oats closed -‘gc to r h (- higher and cash
sales were 225,000 bushels.
Hog products were under liquidation
sake, right up to the very close and
prices were lower.
