NEW YORK. Dec. 18 Influenced bj
better Liverpool cables than due. the
cotton market opened steady to-day
with first prices at u net advance of 3
to 4 points from Wednesday’s close.
Trading, however, was narrow and
traders were in doubt was to bow to
construe the Government figures on
llnters in the absence of any means of
comparison and arguments equally con
vincing ware presented by both the
bull and t*»ar cliques
After the call futures broke on se’l-
lng orders from discouraged bulls, both
local and Southern, who let go some
of their remaining long lines The best
demand seemed to come from shorts
However, there was some evidence of
bull support, but prices worked 8 t*> 10
points off from the opening range be
fore the downward movement w«i*
checked, then prices only advanced to
the previous close. The recovery did
not convert the bear* and they contin
ued to advise friends to Fell on all bard
apots. But the more bo’d doubt that a
further decline is likely at the mo
rn* nt.

ways: “After New York's close yes
terday the Now Orleans contract mar
ket climber] above Tuesday's final quo
tations. Now York reflects a groat ileal
of pessimism and generally bearish
sentiment. But th» cotton trade at
large. New Orleans included ha* Its
eye on the statistical drift, and seems
slow to comprehend the cause of the
depression. New York January closed
at 12.37. The official discount on gcod
ordinary there is 300 points. The low
est grade that will tender on New York
contract* can not bt bought in New i »r-
leans at less than 10 cents a pound, and
it will cost about 50 point* to ship such
cotton to New York and effect tender,
in other words, such cotton would cost
the tender about 10% cent# a pound,
and he would get for it in New York
January tender 9.87 cents a pound.
“Nevertheless, New York is accumu
lating a protective stock. Beyond the
shadow' or a doubt, every New York in
terest in any way related to the finan
cial power of the Metropolis is opposed
to tite Washington administration's
policies, particularly that policy which
seek* to dethrone the centralized money
control exercised by that center.
“Most every financial review bearing
a New York date line and publisher
elsewhere .reflect* studied pessimism.
Crop money has been pouring into those
sections which are now seeKing eman
cipation from centralized tinancial con
trol. Lower prices for cotton check
such inflow' of money Into the cotton
belt Therefore, the declines that have
recently be#-n witnessed in cotton have
rather helped those men who oppose
decentralization."

NEW YORK, Dec. 18. While practi

tered In the recommendation of Post
master General Burleson that the Gov
ernment take over the telegraph und
telephone wires, the most pronounced
weakness deve oped In Canadian Pacific,
which i* wholly beyond th»- range of
our political activities.
Canadian Pacific opened at 214%. n
decline of 4 oolrts from Wednesday e
final, and w*:oln f5 minutes had declined
still further to 213% After another
fractional piling** It rallied slightly and
.it the end of half an hour was sel'lng
above 214. The volume <>f business was
small and In the first 30 minutes nut
more than 2.000 share* of Canadian Pa

Canadian Paoifia continued to be the
conspicuous feature during ihe late

Removal of Tariff Suggested as
; Impetus to Foreign Competition
Hinted in Consul’s Letter,
Indications! that British manufac
turers are planning to take advant
age of the removal of the tariff and
invade Atlanta, entering into dire, i
competition with Atlanta factories In
their own field, are contained In a
letter received Thursday morning b;>
\V. H Leahy, secretary of the indus
trial and statistical bureau of the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce.
S. M. Brookfield. Consul of the Br: -
Ish Empire at Savannah. i.» tite au
thor of the letter. He asked Air
Leahy to furnish him with detailed
information regarding the cla*; of
machinery principally used In At
lanta. and asked also that he be re
ferred to a publication carrying com-
pletc statements of the volume of
machinery manufactured In Atlanta,
together with a scale of prices At
lanta manufacturers receive for their
goodr.
The presumption Is that Mr. Brook
field will transmit the Information
thus obtained to the manufacturers
of (»reat Britain, particularly those
w ho make machinery, and that the
Em r ’. ih factories will then Inaugurate
a silling campaign In Atlanta, meet

by virtue of the removal of the tariff,
and in many Instances perhaps un
derselling the local / lants—or out
side plants with local agencies.
“The only inference that * an he
drawn from the request of the Brit
ish Consul,” said Mr. Leahy Thurs
day, “Is that the manufacturers in
England are planning an Invasion of
Atlanta.
“There could hardly be any othef
reason for Mr. Brookfield w/anting tn
know about the plus** of murhinerv
used principally In this city, and the
presumption is borne out also bv his
request for information as to volume
of business and prices
"Whether .iuch an invasion would
be successful is something, of course,
that onlv time enn tell.”
Rumors that emissaries of British
manufacturing Interests have been
active in Atlanta, seeking informa
tion as to local business conditions
and especially prices charmed to re
tn,Hers and jobbers by local facto
ries, have been heard in business cir
cles for several weeks, and Mr. Brook-
field’s letter appears to give the ru
mors weight.
