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.

Futures opened steady 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 change will close Thursday. December 25, and Thursday. January 1. * ¥ * 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.

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.

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 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 %.
