REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—The opening
of the cotton market to-day was mere
ly a repetition of other previous dull
days. First prices were net unchanged
to 2 points up to 2 points lower than
Thursday’s final. Trading on the call
was very light. Speculators maintained
the waiting and watching policy.
The .steadiness at the outset was at
tributed to better Liverpool cables and
satisfactory spot takings at that port
After the rail prices moved up 2 to )
points from the opening. But support
was lacking and there was no real bull
buying to sustain values. It was gen
erally expected that the ring was short
and would cover before the Government
estimate came out, but shorts who have
been covering in advance of the crop
report, had about completed their oper
ations and with the support lacking
prices fell off 3 to 14 points from last
night’s close. December led the de
cline, dropping to 12.90. January eased
off to 12.75. and March 12.91.
Following are 11 a. rn. bids in New
York: Decebmer, 12 95: January. 12.80;

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
“Bulls in. wheat called attention to
the support given the market on all
breaks and said the rallies were sharp
er than were the declines. They be
lieved that the situation warrants buy
ing on all declines.
“It was generally remarked by the
bulls in corn that the dryers, though
they may work night ana uay, can* not
make enough to deliver all the corn
sold for this month.”
* * *
Bartlett-Frazier Company says.
“Wheat—We may see little lower
prices to-day. but do not look for any
decline of moment.
“Corn—Local sentiment continues
bearish, but there seems to be good
absorption of May around 70
“Oats—The market is acting a little
easier with other grains
“Provisions—Yesterday’s decline was
caused by scattered profit-taking, but
there was a good class of buying on
the break."

ITTHE DECLINE
It Held Its Own at Outset. While
Other Issues Suffered Losses.
Business Small.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Although a
number of issues suffered declines at
the opening of the stock market to-day
the undertone was firm. New’ York,
New Haven and Hartford, which broke
sharply yesterday in consequence of the
passing of the dividend, held its own,
opening unchanged at 68 V < >n sales of
100 share lots It declined, however, and
at the end of half an hour was selling
around 68V Canadian Pacific sold off
1 point here, opening at 223,9%. This
pressure resulted from early selling In
London, where the proposed financing
scheme of the road is held In high dis
favor by traders
The Copper stocks were In better de
mand. Amalgamated Copper rose V* to
70% and Utah Copper advanced to 48V*
for a gain of V
At the end of 45 minutes' trading a
spurt in New Haven sent the stock to
69 for a gain of 14 from Thursday’s
final. Among the declines were West
ern Maryland, %. Soufhern Pacific, V*;
Reading. %; American Telephone. V
and Phi no Copper. V
United States Steel common. New
York Central. Union Pacific and United
States Rubber galped fractionally.
The curb was steady.
Americans in London were firm
Business on the floor after the first hour
was extremely small and a dragging
tone prevailed, but later traders com
mitted to the bear side resumed their
operations. Their dealings to a g.'eat
extent were against steel common,
which yielded % to 66. Reading was
more liberally supplied and yielded 1
point to 163.
Hew Haven held firm with a decline
of 1' 8 . Canadian Pacific lost about 1
point, and fractional recessions were
noted in a number of other Issues.

BOSTON Dec. 12. Now that the
flurry attending the release from bond
of nearly 30.000,000 pounds of wool is
practically over, sellers are beginning
to take stock of the situation. Some in
quiry developed for fine Australian
merinos, quickly showing that supplies j
were short and as th»“ mills are well
supplied with cross breeds, the demand
for imported stoek has dropped off
again. Sampling is in progress, how
ever. and holders are hoping to find a
market for their remaining stocks at
an early day. No material change in
values of domestic wool is noted, though
it is reported that a leading seller >>f
domestic wool has modified bis policy
so far as to dispose of about a mil
lion pounds of territories at a conces
sion.
Sales for the past week are fully 350,-
000 pounds In the aggregate, including
the above transaction
Receipts of wool in pounds for the

The New York Post: ‘There is a

G. D. Potter says. “The reduction in
Bank of Germany’s rate of discount is a
most important factor, as it shows us
that money is more plentiful in Europe

The New York Financial Bureau:
"Irregularity w‘th a hardening of prices

Attention is directed to the fact that

NEW ORLEANS, Dor. 12 —The seat
of pessimistic feeling and action is un
doubtedly in the North, as Liverpool
ame in ’good to-daj, with futures about
: points higher than due; spots 2 points
higher; sales. 14.000 bales.
The Texas Government weather bu
reau gives the rainfall average as 3.99
for the State for the month of No
vember which is 1.57 above normal.
The only news of special interest this
morning was the information from Liv
erpool about the disappointing outturn
of the East Indian cotton crop, which
>ast summer was expected to material
ly exceed that of last y^ar, but is now
estimated bfwow it. This should in
crease the absorption of our low grades.
Our market opened unchanged, but
weakness in New York forced further
liquidation, which carried March to
13.12 New York advices show bearish
opinion prevailing on the ground of
technical conditions, claiming that there
is a large long Interest.
To-day. December 12, closed the pe-
rbxl for the next <’ensus report, which
will be published to-morrow week, De
cember 20. There was ginned last year
during this period 565.000 and 954.000
ba’es in 1911 Ginnlngs this year are
not expected much over 300.000 bales.
The average expectation of the Gov
ernment estimate at 1 o’clock, our time,
is still around 13.800,000 bales.

NEW YORK, Dec 12 —Every one I
seems Inclined to await the Govern
ment's crop estimate at 2 p. m. to-day.
* * *
Wenmann, Hentz, Royce. Schill, Wil
son. Flinn and Halt were the leading
buyers. McGhee, Hubbard. Roundtree, |
Rice. Watkins. Gifford ami Beardsley
were the principal sellers.—J. M. An
derson.
* • »
Every one was fooled this morning
when shorts failed to send in buying
orders. Evidently they had covered in
advance of the report It is true they
have been steady buyers for several
days.
• * *
Ideas of the probable Government
report, whicli are not always identical
with individual ideas of the crop, are
beginning to crystallize below 13. #0,c
bales. This is only natural, because of
the hint officials in Washington sent
out Wednesday stating that the crop
is going to be smaller than generally
expected.
* * *
Spot cotton folks from New Orleans j
say there will be more “country dam- 1
age" cotton this season this ever be- '
fore. Nearly all of this cotton comes
from Texas, Oklahoma. Arkansas and j
parts of Louisiana. Most of it is from
Texas and Oklahoma. These same
folks say that there will be plenty of
tinged and stained cotton from the At- ;
lantics, but that the grades will prove |
good.

The State Board of Agriculture of N>- 1
braska estimates the com crop of 1918
at 90,000.000 bushels The Government’s
figures were 114,000.000 The Government
estimate is about 35.000.000 above fig
ures of State authorities in three States
