ATLANTA 203 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.

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.

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.” INTEREST FOCUSED CEREALS STRONG; RECEIPTS SMALL Closed quiet. 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.

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. Coton seed oil quotations. Cl os Pr*et STOCKS— High. Low. Bid Close Amal.
