After the call futures broke on sell
ing 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 to 10
points off from the opening range be
fore the downward movement was
checked, then prices only advanced to
the previous dost The recovery dkl
not convert the bears and they contin
ued to advise friends to sell on all hard
spots. But the more bo’d doubt that a
further decline is likely at the mo
ment.
The feature of the early trading was
the attempt .made by the ring to drive
March and May below 12.50, but the
market found good support from some of
the leading interests, which sustained
prices. Commission houses, Wall street
and the uptown crowd were free sellers
of March and May. There were very
few’ large blocks traded in. most orders
being in small lots.
The feeling here among the majority
is still that the market is a sale on any
rally practically, as the technical posi
tion has been weakened by enormous
short covering and long line liquidation.
The opinion is also expressed that prices
will sag lower in the absence of any
substantial buying power until further
development in the spot situation. Ad
vices from the belt are to the effect
that high grades are scarce at increased
premium and only low grades being of
fered.
A prominent spot merchant on his re
turn from a Southern tour was on the
floor predicting a 15,000.000-bale crop,
which brought out considerable selling.
Offerings, however, were quickly ab
sorbed, and prices were sustained
around the previous close.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices at net advance of 1 to 0
points from the final quotations of Wed
nesday.

ftie New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “After New York’s close yes
terday the New Orleans contract mar
ket climbed above Tuesday’s final quo
tations. New York reflects a great deal
of pessimism and generally bearish
sentiment. But the cotton trade at
large. New Orleans included has its
eye on the) statistical drift, and seems
slow to comprehend the cause of the
depression.^ New York January closed
at 12.34. The official discount on good
ordinary there is 300 points. The low
est grade that will tender on New York
contracts can not be bought in New Or
leans at less than 10 cents a pound, and
it will cost about 50 points to ship such
cotton to New York and effect tender.
In other words, such cotton would cost
the tender about 10% cents a pound,
and be would get for it in New York
January tender 9.37 cents a pound.
“Nevertheless, New York is accumu
lating a protective stock. Beyond the
shadow of a doubt, every New York in
terest in any way related to the finan
cial power of the Metropolis is opposed
to the Washington administration’s
policies, particularly that policy which
seeks to dethrone the centralized money
control exercised by that center.
“Most every financial review bearing
a New York date line and published
elsewhere reflects studied pessimism.
Crop money has been pouring into those
sections which are now seeking eman
cipation from centralized financial con
trol. Lower prices for cotton check
such inflow of money into the cotton
belt Therefore, the declines that have
recently been witnessed in cotton have
rather helped those men who oppose
decentralization.’’

Burleson’s Report Urging U. S,
to Take Over Telephone and
Telegraph Caused Break.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YoRK, Dec. 18 While practi
cally a.11 the speculative interest at the
opening of the stock market to-day cen
tered in the recommendation of Post
master General Burleson that the Gov
ernment take over the telegraph and
telephone wires, the most pronounced
weakness developed in Canadian Pacific,
which is wholly beyond the range of
our political activities.
Canadian Pacific opened at 214%. a
decline of 4 >»oints from Wednesday’s
final, ami w*:nln fo minutes had declined
still further to 213%. After another
fractional plunge It rallied slightly and
at tin* end of half an hour was selling
above 214. The volume of business was
small and in the first 30 minutes not
more than 2.000 shares of Canadian Pa
cific had changed hands
American Telephone and Telegraph
declined 1%, while Western Union fell
1% to 58%.
Among the other declines were the
following: United States Steel common,
%: Union Pacific, %; Southern Pacific,
%; Amalgamated Copper. %: American
Can. %; Reading, % ; New York Central.
% ; Pennsylvania. %; New York. New
Haven arid Hartford. *4. and Baltimore
and Ohio. %.
After falling %, Erie rallied.
The curb was weak.
Americans in London were narrow
above New York parity. Canadian Pa
eifle was hammered hard by bears in
London.
Canadian Pacific continued to be the
conspicuous feature during the late
forenoon, dropping another % point, a
net decline of 4%. The rest of the list
rallied from the lower prices at the
opening. American Telephone and Tel
egraph advanced a point to 114%. Amal
gamated Copper, Steel and Reading
were up %, Western Union 1% and
Union Pacific %.
('’all money loaned at 3%.
Canadian Pacific’s weakness was the
feature of the last hour. This stock
dropped to 212%. a net decline of
points on the day. The telegraph stocks
rallied and both American Telegraph
•nd Western Union were more than a
point higher than their morning open
ing The tone was steady.
The market closed steady. Govern
ments unchanged; other bonds steady.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 18. Spot quo
tations from the Central and Western
spot centers of the belt showed no fur
ther decline yesterday, in spite of the
lower futures in New York. This
strengthen: the be’ief that the liquida
tion of weak holdings is over and that
the contract markets have to deal with
spot resistance. The Atlantic spot mar
kets, which are more directly under the
influence of New York sentiment and
prices, alone shows decline.
Liverpool again came in steady with
futures about 3 points better than due;
spot prices unchanged; sales, 10.000
bales. The severe decline in English
consols and acute weakness in the
London stock market were a source of
concern and contributed to further easi
ness in our mark't this morning. March
here declined t'> 12.81. There was. how
ever, a disinclination to sell, as spot
resistance to decline seemed more defi
nite: futures are at a considerab’e dis
count, and the short interest has in
creased. The idea of reaction was
stronger and th^ market soon expressed
U ; n an advance to 12.88 for March.
obtained from all seed put through
mills. In the present instance 2,201.276
ions of seed yielded 63 to 64 pounds of
lint per ton. the exact figures not being
available, because weights of the lint-
er bales are unknown. If the amount
of seed crushed for the season shall lie
approximately that of last year the dif
ference of 3% pounds in lint obtained
per ton will decrease the total linters
about 38,000 bales.

Spot cotton here steady and the lower
grades can be bought at quotations.
The beter grades command an in
creased premium.

shown from the bottom levels.

Tattle receipts normal, with the as
sortment uneven and prices irregular
the range being steady to quarter high-’
er. with better grades in strongest de

tive during the week, but will likely drift
into dullness with the approach of the
holiday season, especially on medium

a better grade, and higher price levels

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
“Wheat traders did not take the Gov
ernment crop report with its immense
showing of careage and high condition
seriously. As they said December in
dications are never harvest realizations
On the face of report it is regarded as
bearish. Holiday dullness has settled
over all markets ami narrow fluctua
tions are expected for a few days.”
• * *
Bartlett Frazier Company says:
“Wheat—We do not look for much
change in prices, but see nothing to
cause any decline.
“Corn—We look for iighter receipts
and no particular change in values at
the moment.
“Oats—The market continues feature
less. with very small shipping inquiry
and a moderate movement.
“Provisions—Investment buying con
tinues and the undertone is fairly
steady.”
* * *
2.250,000 bushels of Argentine corn
has arrived in New York. Eighty-five
thousand bushels are due in New’ Or
leans within ten days. Arrivals at Gal
veston to December 1 is 440,000 bushels
in addition to about 100.000 bushels ar
rived at Galveston to-day.
