December 1. Stagnant Trade Conditions Basis for Bear Argument—Buying by Bulls Sustains Market. NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Influenced by Arm Liverpool cables and unfavorable crop advices from the Western belt, re sulted In the cotton market opening steady to-day with llrst prices at a net advance of 6 to 9 points from Wednes day’s close. Apparently there was very little cotton for sale at the outset and the buying whs of a good character. Liverpool cabled that the market has a better undertone and that Manchester is doing better business than reported. This, however. Yfad 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. Bears 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. The weather map shows a bad double storm over the Western States, which means that there will be more heavy general rains, which are Indicated to come also on the rest of the belt. The bad weather in the West has already done thousands of dollars of damage to the unpicked remnants of the, crop However, the locals are against an ad vance here and sell on all rallies. The South and Wall street houses continue to sell. Bull forces continue to support the market, but are unable to promote sufficient buy fog orders to cause a re newal of trade interest, which Is prac tically dead. The list fluctuated within very narrow limits, barely exceeding 10 points. Advices from the belt indicate a good demand for spots. Some wires ten of considerable poor grade cotton being thrown on the market, but there is a scarcity of good grades, except at high premium. At the close the market was quiet, with prices net unchanged to 4 points from the final quotations of Wednes day. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: December, 13.03; January, 13.19; March, 13.33; May, 13.39: July. 13.92.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S 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 rainy w'eather over the entire belt. Liverpool shows more strength, with futures this morning about 4 points higher than due: spot prices 1 point lower; sales. 12,000 bales. This strength in the foreign markets may he 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: “ftlarket 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 maihct ooened a few points high er and ruled steady at the advance, but the dissenting spirit in the Northern market and consequent absence o' spec- u’ative support is felt and expressed in general dullness. Spots are firm with good demand. The into-sight movement for the week looks around 624.000 bales, against 648,- 108 last year, and 640.945 in 1911. We compare with piM takings of 504,- 000 bales for this week last year. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES 6tock quotations: Cl 09. Prev. STOCKS— • High. Low. Bid. Close Amal. Copper. 72 70% 71% 71% Am.

The life of such ideas, huweevr. will be determined by the Government's crop estimate four days later, since thq con suming world will take the Govern ment’s guess seriously. “Meanwhile, the ‘off-take’ continues on an enormous scale, but the fresh sup ply is now showing a relative decrease as contrasted with last year. A short while ago. port receipts since September 1. reached a total well if. excess of last year. Yesterday the record stood 5.569,- 124 bales this year, against 5,705,280 bales 'ast yestr. During the half week receipt*' at the counted interior towns were 148.489, against 178,284 bales last year.

M. Anderson: "There has been no feature to the mar ket to-day. Some of the bull eiaders supported the market from time to time, but the crowd were against an advance and sold on all rallies. The bears con tinue to talk lack of spot demand and poor trade conditions. This may be true in some quarters, but we must not overlook the large Liverpool sales the past few days and fair exports. This would not indicate that Ihe wheels of progress have stopped a’together. There is apparently a disappointed feeling around the floor that the market does not decline and as some of the bulls express, ‘It’s sometimes dangerous to sell a dead market ’ ’’ E. F. Hutton & Co. had the following crop advices: Albany, Ga.: "See no reason to change our original estimate of 2,400,000 for Georgia. Good demand for high grades, poor for low. Crojt-practically out this section. Small stock, light offerings.” Macon. Ga.: "We estimate Georgia 2,300,000 bales Receipts heavy. Demand poor. Mpcon stock 3,600, against 11,000 last year.” r * • * Houston. Texas, wires The New York Commercial: "Four million bales. No demand for spots. Great deal of distress cotton now being thrown on the mar ket.” • • * Galveston. Texas, wires: "Texas around 3,900.000. Spots dull. Demand chiefly for better grades. Some pres sure from interior holders." * * * Troy. Ala., wires: "Alabama crop will not be less than 1,600,000. Demand mod erate; good deal of spots accumulating, held for higher prices, but there is also more desire to sell before Christmas." Spots are reported firm at quotations. Good demand, but higher premium asked for better grades, owing to bad weather In west. LIVE STOCK.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “Sentiment in wheat is bullish, and the trade is disposed to buy on any lit tle break. All the crop accidents are regarded as favorable to the bulls, while the trade conditions are looked upon as bearish. "It is the general belief of the bulls that there will have to be a heavy movement and treat activity among the shorts to deliver all the corn they bought for December delivery.” • * • Rycroft, of Bartlett-Frazler Company, says: "Wheat is working into a very str<»rg position the world over. Russia is offer ing very sparingly and their crop un doubtedly has been officially overesti mated. Australian holders are firm In their views and not offering. "The Argentine exportable surplus Is being cut down, and our cables to-day reduce the figures to 84,000,000 bushels. They had frost three days ago In the south, where the acreage is very large and crop now’ in the stage of bloom, so that considerable damage must have been done. India will not be a factor next year, as she has not been able to even seed her crop over a very large area. Our advices are that the Canadian crop has been very largely marketed and there is no aceumu’ation as a re sult of the largest receipts ever known. Our own spring wheat has been mar keted very closely an<i the original move ment (bf#h in Canada and in the North west . win drop sharply soon as bad weather sets In. Chicago prices are on a parity with Europe, even on an all rail basis to the Seaboard, and American hard winter wheat can be said to be cheapest wheat in the world." • * • Bartlett. Frazier Co. says: "Wheat— We look for a steady market to-day. "Corn—We see nothing weak in the situation. "Oats—There seems to be a more friendly feeling to the market and some buying of an investment character. "Provisions—General trend of prices seems to be toward a higher level.’’ COTTON SEED OIL.

If you prefer village life, the smaller towns in Georgia offer every inducement. If you prefer country or farm life, Georgia offers greater inducements than any State in the Union. Georgia lands work the year round, from two to five crops being gath ered off of the same land each year—crops that profitable. Climate and Soil are The climate is such that far mers do not have to house stock during the winter, there being good grazingtheentire year. For raising cattle and stock Georgia offers greater inducements than can be found elsewhere. The soil is suited for almost anything that grows and can be utilized the entire year. The prices at which good farm land can be purchased at present in Georgia are so low that it is a matter of comment — some thinking that the land is not so good as stated. The land is good, but there are thousands of acres that are now lying idle and the good people of Georgia are anxious for good farmerstocomeamongthem. Consequently the land is cheaper here than elsewhere.
