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 j \y«n V
! wan street and the uptown crowd sold
to 4 points from Wednesdays close. ! Around 12.50 for March and May a gooc
IT and lliunv uti-xn ..r.L.r.. .. * .
UltirdBH sold 6,000 hales of January.
Wilson took most of it.
Commission house*, Wall street an,) BurleSOn's Report Urging U. S.
the uptown crowd were leading sellers ' c
to-day. The principal buying came
from spot interests.
• * •
Yesterday the market had very few
friends. J he only support apparently
uas short coveting and some hu\ing i»y
Liverpool, but that is quite natural,
considering the difference between Liv
erpool and this market The larger
Interests were apparently swapping dif-
1 f?. ren * positions. Commission houses.
Trading, however, was narrow and
tra<iers 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 which will liquidate on
Ill'll L. . , .1 X I 1 _ .
many stop orders were caught.
Sentiment continues, bearish anil the
majority of traders are advising friends
to sell on all rallies. It is believed that
is » y w tt scattered long in the market,
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 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 close The recovery did
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 ami 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. Ail-
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 thq 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, 13.50; January, 12.37;
March, 12.57; May. 12.57; July. 12 53.

the market in face of 'such conditions.
Many who have advocated the bull side

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dee. 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 he’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 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. and the short interest has in
creased. The ide<t of reaction was
stronger and the market soon expressed
it in an advance to 12.88 for March.
Fear of a bearish v’ensus report or
Saturday alone prevented greater hud
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 cron to December 1. 2 201.275
tons, against a total of 4.579.708 <
last season, and 4.921,073 tons in 1931
Linters obtained from the present croj. i
to December 1. is 289.118 bales; tota 1 j
linters from last year’s crop 69;;.294 ;
556.276 bales in 1911 This rrp.,rt rat
confirms the belief that linters returns
from tlTis crop will be less than those
of ’ast season. Last season’® first Dri
ers report was on January 28 and gave
366.9 a hales.

RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES
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 12.3i. 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 in 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 lint—
er bales are unknown. If the amount
of seed crushed for the season shall be
approximately that of last year the dif
ference of 3Vs pounds in lint obtained
per ton wdli decrease the total linters
about 38,000 bales.
Spot cotton here steady and the low-er
grades can be bought at quotations.
'1 he beter grades command an in
creased premium.

NEW YoRK, Dec. IS. 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 ami
telephone wires, the most pronounced
weakness deve oped in Canadian Pacific,
which is wholly beyond the range of
tjur political activities. •
Canadian Pacific opened at 214H. a
decline os 4 Joints from Wednesday’s
final, ami w*tn!n To 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 ami In the first 30 minutes not
more than 2.000 shares of Canadian Pa
cific had changed hands.
American Telephone and Telegraph
declined 1V 4 , while Western Union fell
1% to 58%.
Among the other declines were the

above New York parity. Canadian Pa
cific was hammered hard by bears in
London.

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 ' 4 . Western Unloh 1% and

Grain Notes
The Chicago »nter 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 dul’ness has settled
over all markets and narrow fluctua •
tions are expected for a few days.”
• * *
Bartlett-Frazler Company says;
"Wheat—We do not look for much
change in prices, but see nothing to
cause any decline.
“Com—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 mo<1 erate movement.
"Provisions—Investment buying con
tinues and the undertone is fairly
steady.”
