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.

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.’’ • * * J.

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.

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.

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 mand Trade has been reasonably ac tive during the week, but will likely drift into dullness with the approach of the holiday season, especially on medium and plain stock. After January 1 re ceipts are expected to be lighter, but of a better grade, and higher price levels will doubtless be leached. Hogs continue In good supply, with prices barely steady to a fraction Iow-er. The following quotations represent ruling prices of good quality of beef cattle. Inferior grades on dairy types selling lower: Good to choice steers. 1 000 to 1,200. 6.00fo6.50; good steers, 800 to 1,000. 5.75 fo6.00; medium to good steers, 700 to 850, 5.25 fo 5.50.

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. \m j"jty -j 1 | ( V: fi! H ll i
