Strong, Aggressive Tendency
Entire Day in Face of Liver
pool Depression.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18. —Depression
shown in Liverpool cables resulted in
the cotton market here opening barely
steady today, with first 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 cotton. This report
could not be confirmed, but caused sell
ing from this side in Liverpool, also sell
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
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 18 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 Ginners 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 of 8 to 12
points, with the exception of September
and October, which closed unchanged
from the final quotations of Tuesday.

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 the 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, the smallest in the
past five years. They’ are expected to be
around 450,000 for the period, which would I
mean a census on Friday of 12,294,000
bales. There was a report today’ that the
final National Ginners 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 ot a bullish census.

CHICAGO, Dec. 18. There were frac
tional advances in the price of wheat
• early today with the better trade in the
cash article on both domestic and export
’ account the leading influence. The Liv
erpool market was higher as a result, of
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
was stronger on the forecast- of smaller
1 shipments from Argentina this week.
Oats were easier on increased offer
ings.
Hog products were fractionally lower
uqd 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 if the buyers have put in an
i appearance after so long a time. Besides
1 a large business reported in Manitoba,
• there was a good trade in our own
wheat on foreign account and millers took
ILO,OOO bushels here during the day.
: One large cash handler here said that his
sales whHe liberal would be much greater
with <ii; ample supply of cars for trans
porting the wheat. Closing for the day
showed the market as higher.
Corn was in demand from shorts and
• Investors late and there was a better
cash lemand also, with sales of 155,000
bushels. The close was %c to better.
Oats closed ;i h<* to %c higher and cash
sales were 225,000 bushels.
Hog products were under liquidation
sales right up to the very close and
' prices wer*} lower.
