TODAY’S MARKET OPENINGS
COTTON.
NEW YORK, Dec 28 Weakness in
Liverpool cables resulted in the cotton
market here opening quiet, with prices
showing irregularity, ranging 3 points
higher to 9 points lower than last night’s
lose. Immediately after the outset, the
ring crowd and the I'ell interests turned
;< gainst the market, liquidating heavily.
December dropped to 12.52 and January to
12.51, ami within fifteen minutes prices
; ggregatc.l 5 to 11 points, decline in ac
live positions from the initial quotations.
After the call, a few points of the loss
was regained through a wave of buying
from the sp< i interests. However, the
bull leaders were m t active, and it is
said they are not likely to make an ap
pearance until after the first of the year

GRAIN.
CHICAGO, Dec. 28. - Losses of t g c to
3 bc were marie in wheat this morning
with the unfavorable weather in the Ar
gentine Republic, the lower prices at Liv
erpool. Paris and Antwerp, and the in
creased offerings in the markets of the
Old World of Argentine wheat. Some of
the long sellers seemed to have fallen off
somewhat. Top prices were shaded right
after the sales were made.
Corn was %<• to Vic lower on the bright
weather and the increased movement from
the hands of farmers. There were 700
cars at Chicago this morning. Cables
were somewhat unsettled and Argentine
corn at Liverpool was fractionally higher.
Oats were a trifle lower and trade was
small.
Hogs were lower at the yards and pro
visions were off fractionally in sympathy.

at the outset was somewhat mixed. The
ring crowd inclined to liquidate, also com
mission houses sold. However, the buying
was rather general and prices during the
first fifteen minutes were held about the
initial figures.
After the call the market became inact
ive and prices receded 2 to 8 points on
near months from the opening. The larger
spot interests were good buyers. There was
an absence of any bullish news regarding
♦he spot situation, but these interests con
tinue their aggressiveness, asserting that
the long side is the safest.
The showing was somewhat of a sur
prise, in view of the firm cables and re
flected heavy selling movement by a num
| ber of Wall Street and uptown houses.
There was very little support from bull
quarters until March and May dropped
to 12.70.
During the late forenoon trading, the
market was dull and featureless, with
scattered buying and selling predominat
ing. The leading spot interests were
ihe principal buyers on the decline, which
i caused the steadiness, checking a fur
ther decline. Trading was of a light
character during the entire day, with a
narrow range in prices. It is not ex
pected there will be any material changes
in prices until after the lirst of the year.
The Balkan situation is causing consid
erable uneasiness among traders, and the
most conservative operators are advising
caution in trading; also the next census
report, which will show the number of
bales ginned to January 1. The ‘bulls’
argument is that this report will show a
material decline in ginnings for the pe
riod. and until this report is out of
the way, the market will be only a
traders' affair.
A sudden selling wave prevailed upon
the market during the last half hour, com
ing chiefly from Memphis brokers and
the Pell interests, resulting in a rapid de
vline of 8 to 10 points from the early
low levels. At the close the market was
steady, with prices showing a net decline
of 10 to 18 points from the final quota
tions of Tuesday.

HAYWARD A. CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW <>RLEANS. Dee. 27.—There were
no decisive political developments over
the holidays. So far. London news does
not justify the anticipated smoothness
and speediness in the adjustment of the
Balkan question. On the other hand,
neither has any danger cropped out. Liv
erpool again came in very strong; futures
5 points better than due: spots 5 points
up: sales 4,000 bales. Notwithstanding
this, our market opened about 6 points
down and remained flat and easy. It looks
as if the relaxation in speculative ac
tivity at this time of the year Is being
cleverly made use of by professional lead
ers to. improve the parity between the
markets.
Liverpool had lately dropped too far
behind, but now seems to receive profes
sional backing in preference to our mar
kets. Although quiet, our market held
steady around 12.90 for March. The in
significant concession to holidav conserva
tism speaks for its technical composi
tion and shows how well held is the in
terest and confidence in the bull posi
tion.

Oats unchanged to a shade lower. Th.
Argentine crop is placed at 122,006,urn.
bushels, compared with 64.000.000 bushels
Provisions were lower, although hogs nt
the yards were steady.
Wheat closed with net losses of %e t<
%c and the July showed no reactionary
power, while there was little recupera
tive strength in the other months. T e
bulls worked diligently to force prices to
a higher level, one of their stories being
that all the wheat at Buffalo had been
sold for export.
The Accumulation of wheat in the
Northwest overbalanced all else and the
opinion has gained ground that the
weather although dry, is anything but
unfavorable for the growing wheat plan;
St. Louis reported three loads of wheat
for export and there were sales here of
15,000 bushels to interior millers.
Corn closed %c lower and at bottom
prices.
Oats were %c to %c lower and slow
Cash sales of corn were 90,000 bushels
| and oats 110.000 bushels.
; Provisions were off ’ sharply and were
under heavy selling pressure during th«
last part of the session.
