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.

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.

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.
