Big Firms Buy Freely When Ring
Tries to Drive March and May
to 12.50—Spots Firm.
NEW YORK. Dec 18.—Influenced by
better Liverpool cables than due, the
cotton market opened steady to-day
with first prices at a net advance of 3
to 4 points from Wednesday’s close.
Trading, however, was narrow and
traders were in doubt as to how to
construe the Government figures on
linters in the absence of any means of
comparison and arguments equally con
vincing were presented by both the
bull and bear cliques.
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 cpme 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 close The recovery did
not convert the bears and they contin
ued to advise friends to sell on all hard
spots. But the mote bo'd doubt that a
further decline is likely at the. mo
ment.
The feature of the early trading was
the attempt jnade 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 9
points from the final quotations of Wed
nesday.
Following are 11 a. m. bids in New
York: December. 12.50; January. 12.37;

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
LIVERPOOL. Dec. 18.—Due 2 points
lower on July and unchanged to 1 point
lower on other positions, this market
opened steady at a net advance of 3 to
4 points. At 12:15 p. m. the market
was quiet but steady at a net advance
of 1% to 2% points.
A good demand for spot at unchanged
prices; middling, 7.13d; sales, 10,000
bales, including 8.200 American bales,
imports, 34,000, of which all were Ameri
can bales.
At the close the market was quiet but
steady, with prices net unchanged Jn 2%
points lower than the closing quotations
of Wednesday.

NEW YORK, Dec 18.—The opening
was quiet, but trading was light. The
, strength of Liverpool cables brought out
1 some short covering, but there was no
1 significance to trading
v • ♦
Kiordan sold 5,000 bales of January.
Wilson took most of it.
• • •
Commission houses, Wall street and
the uptown crowd were leading sellers
to-day. The principal buying came
from spot interests.
• * *
Yesterday the market had very few
friends. The only support apparently
was short covering and some buying by
Liverpool, but that is quite natural,
considering the difference between Liv
erpool and this market The larnr
interests were apparently swapping dif
ferent positions. Commission bouses.
Wall Street and the uptown crowd sold.
Around 12.50 for March and May a good
many stop orders were caught.
Sentiment continues bearish and the
majority of traders are advising friends
to sell on all rallies. It ls believed that
is still a scattered long in the market,
which will liquidate on any further
decline and for that reason those fa
voring the bull side fear to come Into
the market in face of such conditions.
Many who have advocated the bull side
up to this time are now talking lower
prices. The ginning figures on Satur
day are. expected to be large and fur
ther liquidation is looked for in the
meantime.—J. M. Anderson.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 18.—Hayward
& Clark: The New Orleans Cotton Ex

The map shows fair weather over cen
tral Texas, but cloudy over the rest of
the belt, with scattered light showers.
Indications are for partly cloudy to fair
in east Texas. Arkansas and north
Louisiana, but cloudy and showery
weather over the rest of the belt, fol
lowed by generally unsettled rainy
weather Saturday."
* * *
The 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 retlects 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 12.37. 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 he 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 publish! +
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 Jn cotton have
rather helped those men who oppose
decentralization.”
• • •
J. B. Turner says: “The Census re
port on linters is of no great value be
cause of the absence of comparative
data for December 1. It Is notable,
however, that the line obtained from
the seed crushed is smaller than last
year’s average when at the season’s
end 67 pounds of lint per ton had been
obtained from all seed put through
mills. In the present instance 2,201.276
tons of seed yielded 63 to 64 pounds of
lint per ton. the exact figures not being
available, because weights of the Ent
er bales are unknown. If the amount
of seed crushed for the season shall be
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.

HAYWARD A. 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
strengthens the belief 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 market this morning. March
here declined to 12.81. There was. how
ever, a disinclination to sell,- as spot
resistance to decline seemed more defi
nite. futures are at a considerate dis
count, ahd the short interest has in
creased. The idea of reaction was
stronger and the market soon expressed
it In an advance to 12.88 for March.
Fear of a bearish Census report or
Saturday alone prevented greater sup
port, but large ginning figures seem to
be discounted by the recent break. The
Census report this morning gave the
number of seed crushing establishments
active to December 1 as 850. against a
total last year of 859 for the season,
and 841 in 1911. Seed crushed from the
present crop to December 1 2.201.275
tons, against a total of 4,579.708 t -ns
last season, and 4.921.073 tons in 1911
Linters obtained from the present crop
to December 1. is 289,118 bales; total
Enters from last year’s crop 602.304 and
556.276 bales in 1911. This report rather
confirms the belief that linters returns
from this crop will be less than those
of ’ast season. Last season’s first Ent
ers report was on January 28 and gave
8&6 0.4 bales.
Spots here are steady and only lower
grades can he bought at quotations. The
better grades command an Increased
premium.

Burleson’s Report Urging U. S.
to Take Over Telephone anti
Telegraph Caused Break.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18 While practi
cally all 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 deve oped in Canadian Pacific,
which is wholly beyond the range of
our political activities.
Canadian Pacific opened at 214%. a
decline of 4 »*olnts from Wednesday’s
final, and w*:nln fo minutes had declined
still further to 213%. After another
fractional plunge it rallied slightly and
at the 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 and Hartford. %, and Baltimore
and Ohio. %.
After falling %, Erie rallied.
The curb was weak.
Americans in London were narrow
above New York parity. Canadian Pa
cific was hammered hard by bears in
London.
Canadian Pacific continued to be the
conspicuous feature during the late
forenoon, dropping another % point, a
ret 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 %.
Call money loaned at 3%.
Canadian Pacific’s weakness was the
feature of the last hour. This stock
dropped to 212%. a net decline of 6
points on the day.’ The telegraph stocks
rallied and both American Telegraph
and 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.

lower to-day. Some of the traders who
have been numbered among the bulls
were on the bear side to-day selling
freely The entire professional trade
held wheat during the morning and sold
it toward the close. There is a likeli-
homi of the selling being overdone to
ward the end of the week.
Corn closed with declines of %c and
there was little reactionary power
shown from the bottom levels.
Oats were off % to % c and resting
spots for the day were at the lowest
levels.
ITovisions were fractionally lower on
selling of a line of ribs by one of the
larger professionals.

The Chicago inter Ocean says:
“Wheat traders did riot 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 and narrow fluctua
tions are expected for a few days.”

Bnrtlett-Frazier Company says:
"Wheat—We do not look for much
change in prices, but see nothing to
cause any decline.
"Corn—We look for lighter 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.”
