Stagnant Trade Conditions Basis
for Bear Argument—Buying
by Bulls Sustains Market.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4. Influenced by
firm Liverpool cables and unfavorable
crop advices from the Western belt, re
sulted in the cotton market opening
steady to-day with lirst prices at a net
advance of 6 to 9 points from Wednes
day's close. Apparently there wus very
little cotton for sale at the outset an<T
the buying was of a good character.
Liverpool cabled that the market has a
better undertone and that Manchester
is doing better business than reported.
This, how’ever, had practically no effect
on quotations.
Outside speculation was very light.
After the call the trend was down
ward. The ring crowd seemed inclined
to sell and the advance in Liverpool
seemed to have little or no effect. This
caused some 3 to 5 points decline from
the initial range.
Sentiment continues very bearish, and
with the limited number of bulls in the
market at present it is hard for them to
meet the selling pressure. Hears ap
parently seem to be trying to talk the
market down. However, a narrow and
featureless market Is looked for until
after the Government reports are out of
the way.

York: December, 13.03; January, 13.19;

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 4—Weather
conditions continue bad, particularly
west of the river, where a continued
downpour for the past ten days has un
doubtedly caused serious loss to the un
picked remnants of the crop. Offerings
and movement are shrinking in conse
quence.
Indications are for unsettled and
rainv weather over the entire belt.
Liverpool show's more strength, with
futures this morning about 4 points
higher than due; spot prices 1 point
lower; sales. 12.000 hales. This strength
in the foreign marke.ts may be due to
reduced offerings on account of bad
weather and the desire to secure me
dium to better grades in anticipation of
a possible further increase in the pre
miums.
Liverpool cabled: “Market has better
undertone. Manchester doing better
business than reported." This was sug
gested some time ago wfien the propo
sition of short time was voted down by
the mills.
Our market opened a few points high
er and ruled steady at the advance, hut
the dissenting spirit in the Northern
market and consequent absence of spec
ulative support is felt and expressed in
general dullness.
Spots ar£ firm with good demand
The Into-sight movement for the week
looks around 624.000 hales, against 648,-
108 last vear, and -640.945 in 1911.
We compare with mill takings of 504.-
000 hales for this week last year.

COTTON SEED OIL.
NEW YORK. Dec 4.—The reports of
cheaper crude offerings and renewed
hedge selling caused a moderate decline
in cotton oil to-day. There was also
some scattered liquidation for outside
long account. Tenders of about 1,500
barrels on December contract served to
depress that delivery
Shorts were moderate buyers, but new'
outside buying was less in evidence and
the technical situation appears rather
weak. t

bales, and a guess of the Texas crop
yesterday of 4,668.000 bales drew a few
additional recruits to this faction. On
December 8 the Government report will
probably show large ginnlngs for the
