NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—On buying or
ders for Liverpool account the cotton
market opened steady to-day, but the
range was extremely narrow, being net
unchanged to 1 point higher than Wed
nesday’s close.. Brokers with foreign
connection.** bougnr enough to increase
the initial gain 2 to 4 points, but on
the rise offerings became freer with the
demand and there was not enough out
side trading to sustain the market and
prices sagged 1 to 2 points from the pre
vious close within half an hour after
the opening.
Traders are mostly marking time
until alter 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 until after the turn
of the year and then there Is still con
siderate 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 belt.
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
ba’es. The Burgpu guess of 104 mem
bers Ypf the local exchange Is 13.618.000
bales. Conservative operators contend
tuat anything below this figure will be
construed as bfillish and advance quo
tations.

Diminished reserves from former
crops, the unusually large percentage of
cotton of low spinning value, an appre
ciable amount of damaged cotton and
lighter weight of bales are factors that
must not be overlooked in Judging the
supply situation.

A Washington special to The Journal
of Commerce declares that Congress
will pass at this session a bill designed
for the control of cotton exchanges.
T1 votes for this purpose have been
obtained ai«d there is expected to be it-
tle friction with respect to the proposal.
President Wilson has given his approval
to the undertaking and If a bill of that
description comes to him he will sign it.
The bill to be passed, Iwtwever, 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 sot for
the adoption of the proposed legislation
is next January probably In the latter
part.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 11.—Hayward
& ('lark: “The weather map shows
cloudy over the southern half of Texas,
with rains in South Texas. Generally
fair over the rest of the belt; no pre
cipitation; indications are for increasing
cloudiness, except fair in the northwest
ern quarter; warmer; showers in the
southwestern portion.”
* * *
The movement Into sight for the week
to-morrow is expected bullish. A'so mill
takings for week. Last year they were
451,000 bales.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: ''Awaiting a Bureau report is al
ways sweating labor- for the broker.
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-
kai. have in combination delayed the
advance In values warranted b\ the
promise of a further shrinkage In the
world’s net surpus 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 14.250.090 hales. Therefore, the
Immeditae consideration Is to what sen
timent such an estimate will engender.
Consumers wiT take the Government es
timate seriously. Consequently, the
wise operator, no matter how large a
crop he may believe in, hesitates to sell
short at this particular time.”

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 uncharged 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 ca'led to meet soon to wi
den the discount on off qualities on the
basis of trades in the open sp**t markets.
There was only some sma 1 shifting in
terest prior to the Bureau publication
On the whole. Interests are pretty well
arranged for the occasion ami 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 season’s to
tal.
While rapid harvesting and marketing
of the cron in 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,
but 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
thi 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,-
v. 000 bales. Anything under 14.0m OOQ
this year would he considered bullish,
as the diminished reserves from fortner
crops, an unusually larger percentage of
the e< tton of low spinning value, an ap-
precJab’e amount of damaged cotton
and lighter weight of bales, all count
against the supp'y.

Passing of Dividend Causes Vig
orous Selling—Bulls Buy, Sus
taining Other Issues,
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11. Speculative in
terest was focused on New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad shares at
the opening cf 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
500 and 20o 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
69%. New Haven had closed at 72%,
so the first transaction to-day repre
sented a loss of 4% points.
A great deal of attention was paid to
Amalgamared Copper, which was un
usually strong. After opening at 70%,
unchanged from last night's final, this
Issue rose to 71 %.
United States Steel opened with a
1.000 lot transaction at 57, but it im
mediately shaded to 56%, the quotation
at which It closed last night.
Because of the affiliations between
New York Central and New Haven It
was expected that the former would
suffer depression at the opening, but Its
first price was 92%, a loss of only %.
Within half an hour It had recovered
completely.
There was considerable, excitement
among the New Haven and New York
Central groups at the opening. Bro
kers representing important interests
were active at their supporting orders.
The curb was steady.
In London America*,s were cheerful,
but lacked vigor. New York Central
was purchased there for a good advance
Canadian Pacific In London declined,
then rallied.
Interest continued to be focused upon
New Haven, and with small drops with
every sale it declined 2 points from its
oepning to 67%. The show of strength
In many of the standard issues was
checked after the first half of the fore
noon and price movements were varia
ble, with most of the early gains being
lost. Reading declined % and Steel %.
Other issues were slightly lower.
Cali money loaned at 5%.
Trading In New Haven shares contin
ued light during the first hour, but
shortly after 11 o'clock the price yield
ed again and went down to 67%. the
lowest yet reached.
After if period of weakness the mar
ket strengthened in the ate trading.
A firm tone was displayed by most of
the leading Issues, among both railroads
and industrials. Less Interest was at
tachcd to New Haven, wftich sold
around 68% for a net loss of 4% from
Wednesday’s final Some of the morn
ing sellers bought small blocks, caus
ing a rally to 68%. but It fell back on
further transactions. There was con
tinued accumu ation of Reading, which
sold around 164 for a net gain of % on
the day.
Steel held around 56% and Amalga
ms/ il Copper sold at 70% for *1 frac
tional advdnee.
Canadian Pacific made a fractional
gain, while Southern Pacific lost about
a point.

COTTON SEED OIL.
NEW YORK. Dec Ll 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.
