Dec. 6.—The cotton market opened steady to-day, but failed to get out of the rut which It has fall en Into. First prices ranged 3 off to 5 points higher than Friday’s close. For the third successive day price movement has moved within a range not exceeding 10 points, reflecting a con tinued disposition among the larger in terests to await the publication of the Census ginning report and the Govern ment's crop estimate. Liverpool, after a weak start, recov ered and cables were good. The local market, however, remained quiet and easy. The ring crowd was inclined to sell and did so. Some of the spot peo ple sold December, resulting in the op tion receding 7 points from the initial figure, while other positions only lost 1 to 2 points The larger spot houses who supported the list yesterday were not 1n evidence. Considerable continental buying was reported, however. Hedge sales by American houses were report ed from Liverpool. Trade advices were generally unsatis factory. The market ruled steady during the forenoon, while the selling was general. The buying seemed concentrated and looked to come from some of the larger spot interests. This buying was based chiefly from private advices from the belt, telflng of good demand for spots, with the premium growing on liigh grades. Altogether the market looked to be gaining friends and growing more favor- ab'e for a reaction. Some of the more bold who have been inclined to the wait ing policy were advocating the bull side, but they bought little or no contracts pending the ginning figures Monday. The figures are generally expected to be around 12,000.060 to 12,100,000 bales, as of December 1, while the amount ginned during the period, being about 1.600,000 bales. These figures would he abnormally high, but it is a well-known fact' that this has been most rapidly picked and ginned crop in years. The majority contends that it will not af fect the market to any extent either way. At the close the market .was steady with prices 3 points lower to 1 point higher than the final quotations of Fri- day. , A Estimated cotton receipts: Monday. 1912.

Such condi tions, however usually prevail just prior to the holiday rush. The weather has also been a drawback In this con nection “Apples are scarce and the best stock continue to sell at advanced prices at all points of shipment. "Bananas are also high, with the mar ket showing an upward tendency and the present receipts considerably short of average requirements. Indications point to a higher market right through the holidays. "Florida oranges are in liberal supply, with the market easy and prices suf flclently low to authorize a general and liberal consumption. Same may be ap plied to grapefruit. But not with tan gerines, the market being active and strong on the best quality. "Lemons are selling at higher prices at port of importation. Also the best grade of Malaga grapes. The season for California grapes Is over. "Cranberries are very scarce and necessarily high; also celery. "Nuts of all kinds arc meeting ready sale at satisfactory values.

The supply situation there undoubtedly af fects opinion. The stock lost 12,000 bales more during this week, as com pared with last year, and Is now 385,- 000 bales less than last year’s stock of American cotton at this date. Rains were general during the past twenty-four hours In the central States, and unsettled weather with general rains are Indicate,! for the eastern half of the belt, fololwed by a severe cold wave over Sunday, which will bring fair weather, except In the Atlantlcs. where rains will continue until Monday. Our market opened unchanged, with trading light. The expectation Is for a large census report Monday at 9 a. m., our time, but the tendency la also to look for a small Government estimate next Friday, and the disposition Is either to hold off over the census publication or to buy In case It should cause depres sion. Some short covering before the Bureau estimate Is considered likely. We compared with ginnlngs of 11,854,541 bales to December 1, last year, and 12.- 818,807 bales in 1911, During the period of November 14 to December 1, last year, there was ginned 1,558,000 bales and 1.504,000 bales in 1911. The Census next Monday Is expected to show between 12,000,000 and 12,100,000 bales ginned to December 1, this year, but the statement of the Turner’s Bu reau at Memphis to the effect that an unusual number of gins are reported closed for the season has made an im pression on the trade that will serve to properly interpret large ginning figures to that date. Memphis reported a good general spot demand arid spots here are firm all around. It Is believed that the dam age done In the western States by two weeks of .exceptionally bad weather will be appreciated shortly. The contract market ruled steady around 13,20 for March. Liverpool Is due to come unchanged Monday.
