Figures Show Movement, WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—The Un- derwood-Simmons tariff law has in creased materially the importation of foodstuffs into this country, and, according to Secretary of Commerce Redfield, has unquestionably resulted in broadening the food supply of the United States. This deduction is drawn by Mr. Redfield from statistics Just com piled by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, showing the total imports in October last, the first month in which the new tariff law was in operation These are the first official figures given out and will be scanned with great interest by politicians as well as by business men and tne humbic consumers. .

As a mat ter of fact, the increased importa tions at lower rates of duty seem to have had no effect on the prices charged to the ultimate consumer. Prices Remain as High. The Rodfleld statement shows that there has been a large increase in the number of cattle imported into the United States a^nd also a large increase in the amount of corn, fish, beef, cream, potatoes, wheat and other foodstuffs; yet the prices, if the general complaints of consumers which have recently ben pouring in on Congress are true, remain as high. If not higher, than they were under the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.

The market acted very well during the first fifteen minutes in face of the continued bearish sentiment existing here and widenced its advance to 6 to 8 points. But the market cracked wide open after the call, under a wave of general liquidation. There was no signs of support from the bull forces and the larger spot houses who were talking so confidently yesterday. The strength in Liverpool spelled nothing and the ring, commission houses and longs sold the list with confidence, resulting in a rapid decline of 10 to 13 points from the initial quotations.

HAYWARD &. CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 17.—Liverpool was encouraging this morning with fu tures about 5 points better than due and cables reported less hedge selling an<l better advices from Manchester, in New ‘York," then The ‘bear"“operator . may look with greater confidence on do not think an advance will hold Just now and expect to see a gradually declining market, because there Is heavy liquidation of big long , lines yet to come. Another important factor at the moment is the Govern ment’s ginning report, which is expected bearish • * • Spinners are said to have called cot ton freely late yesterday. This was re sponsible for the sudden upturn around noon In face of the extremely bearish sentiment. The calling by spinners was a signal for active buying by spot houses, which started shorts to cover ing. Riordan and Shearson were the leading buyers during the afternoon, some of which was thought to be for spot people and other buyers, thought to be for Wall Street operators. It is be lieved that the liquidation yesterday among scattered longs was heavy, which tends to weaken the technical position of the market. However, the bearish element are advising their friends to sell on all rallies. * * • John McFadden still talks bulllshly, they say. * * * It is said that Wall Street Is making a lot of Christmas money, the majority over there being bears. * * * They say that Sj>enrer Waters has cut loose with a lot of long cotton. T^ake Bros., Pell & Co. and Carpenter have also liquidated some long lines since the estimate came out. * * * The Census Bureau will publish a new- report when it Issues in the next few days an estimate of the amount of Hnt- ere in the ginning of the crop to I >ecem her 1.

In any event, the talent has been unable to anticipate the market and many operators now stand aside in self- defense. “Just now the market seems to be drawing no inspiration whatever from the bears’ average requirement. There are some mighty good reasons to believe that the strain on the supply would be felt early in the spring, if not in Jan uary, and that raw cotton values will advance to a level that will check con sumption and bring it within th*» scope of supply, meanwhile there being no scarcity of cotton now. many influences are affecting the drift of the market. One of these Is the outcome Of the so- called ‘cotton corner’ case, in which, in effect, the Federal Government has sus tained its contention that It is illegal for cotton market operators to work in concert to the. extent of pooling their interests to effect the transfer of con tract cotton from New York to spinners away from the reach of speculative shorts. Some months ago, while In New Orleans, the then United Slates Attorney General Wickersharn was quoted as having expressed the opinion that it was wrong to "bull’’ cotton and advance its value on the consumer, but that it was not wrong to "bear” cot ton and reduce Its cost to the consumer. If the hands of the hull faction be tied Active Trading and Well Sus- Present prices are certainly much cheaper than Europe expected after the developments of the past summer and now with a confirmed small crop — trade Is undoubtedly helped and stimu lated in consequence. Our market gained about 10 points in the early trading and feeling continued bullish, but the constant pessimistic ad. vices from the Northern market have j an intimidating and checking effect. New .York again this morning reports sentiment very bearish on the ultimate outcome, on the idea of curtailed con sumption incidental to contraction in the business world. Should the Census report Saturday confirm private forecasts around 12.- 800,000 bales ginned to December 12, it w'Hl help to discredit small estimates and raise ideas of supply. Under the circumstances much de pends on the defense of spot holders in the South and bank assistance. The Census report, giving ginning to De cember 12. will be published Saturday.

The semi-weekly statement giving the movement for the half week at the 13 leading interior towns Is bullish.
