Indianapolis Feds
After Three Tigers
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 12.—It de
veloped to-day that not only is the
Indianapolis Federal League club
dickering with Ownie Bush, Detroit’s
star shortstop, but Second Baseman
Charles Bauman, of the Tigers, and
Pitcher George Dauss on the same
team are included in the lifting plans.
All three players live in Indianapolis
and the local management believes
that '* it is able to sign up the trio
it will add greatly to the drawing
power of the club.
Cotton Gossip
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Every one
seems inclined to await the Govern
ment's crop estimate at 2 p. m. to-day.
• * *
Wenmann, Hentz, Royce, Schill, Wil
son. Fllnn and Rait were the leading
buyers. McGhee. Hubbard, Roundtree,
Rice, Watkins, Gifford and 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, which are not always identical
with individual ideas of the crop, are
beginning to crystallize below 13.o00.vu
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
say there will be more “country dam
age'' cotton this season this ever be
fore. Nearly all of this cotton comes
from Texas. Oklahoma. Arkansas and
parts of Louisiana. Most of it is from
Texas and Oklahoma. These same
folks say that there will be plenty «»(
tinged and stained cotton from the At-
lantics, but that the grades will prove
good.
* * *
The State Board of Agriculture of Ne
braska estimates the corn crop of 1918
at 99.000.000 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
of Kansas. Nebraska and Iowa alone.
* * *
Sterrett Tate, of N. L. Carpenter &
Co., says:
“About 1.100,000 to 1,200.000 bales
seems about all that can be expected
for the balance of the season, making
a total ginning of 13.180.000 bales. Add
300.000 bales for overweight, and it
gives you an estimate around 13,480.000
of 500-pound bales. This is merely a
guess, but I believe the situation is as
bullish as it can well be at this time,
but these figures will have little or no
effect on the market, and if they cause
any advance it will be only a tempo-
ray upturn. Then I believe it will be
followed by heavy liquidation, with a
gradual shrinking in the market.
“Popular estimates of crop, includ
ing llnters, is around 14.150.000 to 14.-
200,000 bales, while the average guess
on cotton exchange of 500-pound bales
Is 13.615.00ft. The technical position is
the only thing against an advance—
that must be cleared up before the
market can be advanced and sus
tained.”
LIVE STOCK MARKET.
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 call 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 cased
off to 12.75. and March 12.91.
Th* market continued small during
the late forenoon, with general selling
by the ring and commission houses.
There whs some support, attributed to
some of the larger spot houses, but sen
timent continues bearish and the crowd
seems inclined to sell on all rallies.
Some spot interests sold December and
there was scattered liquidation by longs
before the report.
A prominent spot merchant arrived
from Liverpool at 12 noon, and was on
the floor expressing very bullish views,
which checked the selling to some ex
tent. and prices rallied about 5 points
from the early low points.
Promptly at 1 o’clock the Government
issued its annual crop estimate, giving
the crop an estimate of 13.677,000 bales,
excluding linters and repacks. The re
port was regarded as bullish and ac
cepted as a confirmation of low crop
ideas. By adding 600,000 llnters to the
estimate, It indicates a total production
of 14.277,000 bales. A general buying
movement led by some of the leading
bulls and spot houses promoted a nerv
ous feeling among shorts, causing a
rapid recovery from the Initial decline,
and within fifteen minutes after the
report December stood around 13.10,
while January advanced to 12.96. March
to 13.07 and May to 13.01. Offerings
were scarce and scattered.
Following are 11 a. m. bids In New
York; Decebmer. 12.96: January. 12.80;

At the close the market was firm, with
prices at a net advance of 10 to 16
points from the final quotations of
Thursday.

HAYWARD A CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
The New York Times. "There is no
appearance of extensive liquidation.’’
* * *
The New York Herald: "The feeling
in banking circles is cheerful.”
• • •
The New York American: "The buy
ing of Steel common is called particu
larly good by the specialists.”
• * *
The New York Wall Street Journal:
"The general list shows good resistance
to the passing of New Haven divi
dend.”
* * •
The “New York Sun. "It fnay be re
garded as doubtful if the market as a
whole has taken the full measure of the
dividend passing.”
• • *
The New York Post: ‘There is a
pronounced increase in bearish views on
the floor of the Stock Exchange and in
commission houses.”
• * *
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
and that it will seek investment prob
ably in American stocks. I hear the
bears may attempt to depress prices to
day. If they do, buy some I nlon Pa
cific. Reading or L’tah Copper on any
weakness.”
• • *
The New York Financial Bureau:
“Irregular|ty with a hardening of prices
in the standard list is expected to-day.
Attention is directed to the fact that
the New Haven developments hav® done
much to advertise the attractiveness of
the best railroad securities.''
German Bank rate reduced from 5*4
to 5 per cent.

Howard Elliott, before Railway Busi
ness Association puts the plight of

wage increase.

Twelve industrials advanced .09; 20
active rails declined .11.

G. D. Potter says: "The sagging ten
dency of the market is due largely to
inactivity. While the improvement may
be slow. I feel that certain stocks con
servatively accumulated and held a rea
sonable time will show satisfactory
profits.”
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 12 -The seat
of pessimistic feeling and action is un-
doqbtedly in the North, as Live r nool
came in good to-day, with futures about
2 points higher than due; spots 2 points
higher; sales, 14,000 hales. j
The Texas Government weather bu- 1
reau gives the rainfall average as 3.09
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 year, but is now
estimated brfow 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
13.1,2. 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
riod for the next Census report, which
will be nublL'hed to-morrow week. De
cember 20. There was ginned last year j
during this period 565.000 and 954.000
ba'es in 1911 Ginnings this year are
not expected much over 300.000 hales.
The average expectation of the Gov
ernment estimate at 1 o'clock, our time,
is still around 13.800.000 bales.

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 thdt the situation warrants Amy-
ing on all declines
"Tt was generally remarked by the
bulls in corn that the dryers, though
they may work night and day, can not
make enough to deliver all the corn
old 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.
