Traders are mostly marking time until after the Government’s crop esti mate due to-morrow at 1 p. m., but the general opinion is that the market will remain in the rut 'iinti: pifur the turn of tfre year and then there is still con siderable change in the attitude of the market. It is believed that the ring Is short and higher levels will be made before or after the crop estimate is pub lished. Fair weather was predicted for the eastern be’t. v Trading continued extremely light with no significance during the late forenoon. The ring crowd and commis sion houses sold to some extent, but their offerings were quickly absorbed by the same people who have been buy ers for the past few -days. Everyone is waiting on the Census Bureau's esti mate. preferring to wait until the re port Is out of the way. Guesses as to what the Government's figures will be range between 13,200.000 to 14.200,000 bales. However, the most popular estimate is around 13.600.000 ha es. The Bureau guess of 104 mem bers of the local exchange is 13,61$ bales. Conservative operators contend that anything below this figure will be construed as bullish and advance quo tations.

The votes for this purpose have been obtained arvl there is expected to lie li- tle fric+hm with respect to the proposal. President Wilson has given his approval to the undertaking anti if a bill of. thut description comes to him he will sign it The bill to he passed, however, will not be the drastic scheme that Is expected in many quarters, but will aim at but two main purposes. It will seek to compel absolutely the use of Govern ment standards. It will attempt to en force the use of the commercial differ ence system. The time now set for the adoption of the proposed legislation is next January probably in the latter part. f / • * • Dc 13 08 13 09 13 02 ! 13 04 13.04 13.07 Jn 12 85 12 8712 81 12 82 12.82 83:12.85 86 Fb ..... .... .

Particularly is this true at the present time when speculation is being re strained in both directions. "The bull on cotton views the market thus: Tight money, which has forced the sale of cotton on the one hand, and on the other, the necessity for a con sistent fight for position by the spinner, if he would avoid enforced buying of raw cotton supplies on a runaway mar ket. have in combination delayed the advance in values warranted by the promise of a further shrinkage in the world's net surp us of American cotton. In the end such checks to a normal price drift must give way. because the law of average will Inevitably prevail ‘‘The bear on cotton views the mar ket thus: Talent and trade believe the Government crop estimate will be in line with commercial crop estimates approx imating 14.250,000 bales. Therefore, the immeditae consideration Is to what sen timent such an estimate will engender Consumers wil’ tak^the Government es timate seriously. Consequently, the wise operator, no matter bow large crop he may believe in, hesitates to sell short at this particular time.” Op ing. 2 PM. Close. Trev. Close.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Speculative in terest was focused on New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad shares at the opening of the stock market to-day, because of the passing of the dividend yesterday. This stock opened with a new low record, going to 68 on the sale of 5,000 shares. Numerous small lots of 5uo and L ,r >0 and 100 shares were offered and were readily purchased by interests which bought in order to support the entire list. From 68 the price rallied to New Haven had closed at 72^ 4 , so the first transaction to-day repre sented a loss of 4% points. A great deal of attention was paid to Amalgamated Copper, which was un usually strong After opening at 70 ; ^, unchanged from last night's flnai, this Issue rose to 71 !*. United States Steel opened with a 1 .'DO lot transaction at 57, but it lm% mediately shaded to 56the quotation at which it closed last night.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11.—There was no news or developments'overnight to directly affect the market. Our open ing was at unchanged figures, except December, which opened lower. The weakness in the spot market is directed to an insufficient discount on low grades and off color cotton, but the revision committee is called to meet soon to wi den the discount on off qualities on the basis of trades in the open spot markets. There was only some small shifting in terest prior to the Bureau publication. On the whole, interests are pretty well arranged for the occasion and technical conditions are no great factor unless the Bureau should be drastically out of line with the prevailing expectation of a moderate yield around last . -asoK's to tal While rapid harvesting arid marketing of the crop ill the .South has eased money conditions, the North is still in the grip of pessimism, as the result of disappointing railroad statements and dejected apathy in the stock market, hut the condition of cotton appears so strong on supply conditions that South ern holders should be able to dictate absolutely by showing confidence and a proper policy of defense in marketing the balance*of the crop in their hands. Liverpool is steady on futures. Spots 5 points lower; sales 10,000 bales. •News comes from Texas that, owing to the recent spell of very bad weather, the country damage on bales is appall ing The average idea of to-morrow's Bu reau seems to be around 13.800.000 bales. The estimate last year was 13,- 820,000 bales. Anything under 14.one 090 this year would be considered bullish, as the diminished reserves from former crops, an unusually larger percentage ( ,f the cotton of low spinning value, an ap preciate amount of damaged cotton, and lighter weight of bales, all count against the supply.

The cotton seed oil market was lower to-day, being under scattered liquidation in near by deliveries, on the easier crude situa tion. which selling carried forward months off slightly in sympathy. Com mission houses were moderate buyers on the decline, some of which was ac cumulative long account Considerable short covering also was in evidence. Refiners are comp ainlng of a short age of tank cars, which suggests they have more crude bought than they can move.
