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; March. 12.95; May. 12.87; July. 12.77.

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.
