NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 20. Hayward
& Clark: "The weather map shows
generally fair In Texas and Oklahoma;
cloudy over the rest of the belt; light
scattered showers. Indications are for
light general rains over the central and
eastern States, fol owed by clearing and
cold weather In the centtal States over
Sunday.”

'Hie New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: ‘ Because the cotton market can
not rise above its immediate environ
ment, statistical drift, which is bullish
in tne extreme is ignored. At the cur
rent rate of off-take. It will not be very
long before statistics will form the mar
ket’s environment, and thereafter a
new tale will be told. It is probable
ihat more consideration wil be given
the relationship requirement bear's sup
ply, when the currency hill Rhall have
been finally disposed of. Meanwhile,
students of the market are convinced
that ultimate trouble is brewing for the

Under Tremendous Sales Prices
Drop With a Bang—Bulls
Sidestep.
NEW YORK. Dec. 20. 1‘rices went
down with a bang at the opening of the
cotton market to-day on the publication
of the bearisTi Census Bureau figures
on cotton of the 1918 crop ginned to
December 13. The first transactions
were made at prices 10 t 20 points under
Friday’s closing. After that the market
steadied for a breathing spell and then
( racked wide open under a wave of
tremendous selling orders. While the
selling movement was at its height
prices broke $1 35 to $1.80 a bale lower
than Friday’s final.
The ring crowd # sold aggressively.
Wa’l street, the South, the uptown
crowd and longs were noticeable on the
sellirig side. No one seemed inclined to
support the list and the break made
wMthout a pause. Leading .hulls and
some of the larger sput houses who
have supported the list for the past few
♦lays were not in evidence and tne bears
hammered with confidence. January
was the weakest option of the list, drop
ping to 11.89.
The Census figures exceeded the gen-
eral expectation by 300,000 hales. Just
before the opening guesses ranged from
12.450.000 to 17.798,000 hales Tne report
seemed to put an end to the hope of a
commercial crop under 14.000.000 bales.
The most discouraging feature of the
break was the absence of support from
(he hull crowd, but there was good de-
| mand at the bottom and recovery of
about 6 points ensued. After that the
market continued on its downward Jour
ney and repeated the lowest point of
the day As March and May w r ent tum
bling on the way down from 12.50 to
12.14 there was < siderahle stop loss
orders uncovered, it was liquidation of
the same sort as has been the feature
of the market since last Monday. Much
of it catuc from the South and rpay he
described as distress cotton. There
seems to he no doubt that the long in
terest in the belt is enormous in spite
of the extensive liquidation of late.
The whole South went long of futures
in the belief that the early frost and
mid-summer drouth and all of the other
blows that the crop has received would
result in a big bull campaign.
These speculative buyers, however,
forgot the rise of 14 cents had discount
ed considerable of the damage.
The amount of cotton ginned from De
cember I to 14 totaJed 843.000 bales.
The principal increase in ginnings was
in Georgia, which showed an increase
of 148.0Q0 hales, against 111.000 bales
! ast year. Arkansas how ? ed an increase
of 96.000. against 43.000 bales last year.
All the eastern States showed Increases
accordingly. Texas and Oklahoma were
about the same.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net decline of 22 to 35
points from the final quotations of Fri
day.
Estimated cotton receipts:

HAYWARD &. CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 20. -The Liv
erpool stock of American cotton at the
close of this week is 493,000 bales
smaller than last year. Liverpool to-
. ay was about as due. Futures were
3 to 4 points lower; spots 3 points low
er; sales 7,000 bales.
The Census this morning gave 12,923,-
*iU6 bales ginned to December 12. against
1.2.439,036 last year and 13.770.727 In
1911. This 1s 843,000 bales for the pe
riod, against 585,000 hales last year
and 954,000 bales in 1911. The prin
cipal Increase in ginnings for the period
over last \ ear is in Arkansas, 96,000,
against 43.000 last year Georgia. 148.-
d00. against 111,000; Louisiana. 61.000,
against 18.000: Mississippi, 129,000,
against 66.000; South Carolina. 1 15,000.
against 87.000; Tennessee and others.
50,000. against 29,000 Texas, Oklahoma
and Alabama re about the same as last
year. Applying last year’s percentage
of 92.2, the toftl figures 14.667,000. In
cluding 650.000 linters and other addi
tions, but the best authorities state
juhat the percentage ginned this year is
much higher than last year. The com
ing gir.rers’ reports will have to prove
that. Meanwhile, 10-day’s Census fig-
.11 res were much above general expecta
tions and flattering to bearish sentiment
in oth'tjr quarters, which was reflected
by further pronounced weakness In the
markets New York broke to 12.14 for
Mere)i and pri'-es here dropped in conse
quence to 12.44 for this position.
Confidence in a small crop, the Gov
ernment estimate and a bullish situa
tion have not changed here, but. on
account of the coming holiday period,
support is withheld and awaiting the ef
fect of the report on consumers, par
ticularly the spot holders
Present prices are 160 points down
from the highest, which must have
• purged technical conditions of all
1 weakness Alter the first rush to sell
was over, the market recovered to 12.50
for March, and held steady around that
1 figure, although trailing is not active
The first January notice day here will

Washington Tells Company to There Was Little Feature in the
Relinquish Control of Western Trend of Prices—Unsettled
Union—General Advance. I Weather in Corn Belt.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. —Announcement
in Washington of the agreement reached
between the United Stutea Government
and the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company, by which this corpora
tion Is to relinquish Its control of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
caused a tremendous rebound in Ameri
can Telephone and the opening of the
stock market to-day.
American Telephone, wdiich had closed
at 117 ' A on Friday, opened at 1204. but
within half an hour had touched 124
for a net advance of 6 : V
Western Union did not respond as
sharply as American Telephone, opin
ing at 61 for a gain of 1 point.
Traders regarded the Washington an
nouncement with greaGoptimlsm for va
rious reasons. They believed that It
had temporarily checked the movement
for Government ownership of telephone
and telegraph lines, and it was evident
that It forestalled long and bitter liti
gation and legislation under the Sher
man anti-trust law
Trading was so vigorous at the open
ing of the stock market and the con
fusion was so great that the floor com
mittee of the stock exchange had to
hold a special meeting to determine
upon an official quotation as the open
ing price of American Telephone.
It was finally decided to make the
opening price tis fohows:
"Two thousand shares of American
Telephone and Telegraph traded in at
frnrrt 1204 to 124'’
These 2.000 sharps, however, came In
lots of 500, 200 and 100.
The strength In the wire stocks was
imparted to the balance of the list, and.
taken all in all. bigger overnight gains
were recorded than at any other time
for two years.
At the end of 45 minutes American
Telephone touched 124L for a net gain
of 7 points. Selling set in then and a
few’ recessions were noted throughout
the list.
Among the other gains were; United
States Steel common. ; Union Pacific,
■%. Third Avenue Traction. 4; Southern
Pacific. , ; Reading. 4. Northern Pa
cific. ; ‘ K ; New Haven. 1 ■<. Lehigh Valley.
I' t ; Erie. 4: St. Patti. 4; Amalgamated
Copper ; S». and Canadian Pacific, V 7 *.
The curb was strong.
Considerable buying apepared in
Americans in London before the local
market opened and the American issues
there were strong. An exception, how
ever. appeared in Denver and Rio
Grande. Canadian Pacific in l^ondon
was firm on covering.
The market closed steady. Govern
ments unchanged; other bonds steady.

The New Y'ork Commercial: "The ad
vance seems to be based on solid
grounds."

The New Y'ork Herald: "Thefe is
scattered purchasing by investors and
this is much more extensive in bonds
than in stocks "
* * *
The New York American: "The vol
ume of trading indicates a hasty retire
ment of an extended short interest."

The New York Wall Street Journal:
"Satisfaction with the currency bill and
confident expectation of an early and
favorable decision on the demand for a
rate increase are the causes of the
street's opinion."
* • •
The New’ York Sun "In considering
factors of sentimental encouragement,
the financial district does not overlook
the prospect of an early adjournment of
Congress following the passage of the
money bill "
* • *
The New Y'ork Post: "It is scarce
ly probable that anything like an actual
speculation for the rise could sustain
itself without recurrence of tight
money "
• * *
The New York Financial Bureau:
"Bankers are relieved bv the passing of
the currency bill. The Government ac
cepts the offer of American Telegraph
and Telephone to dispose of its control
over the Western Union. It is declared
on good Washington authority that the
administration will not attempt Govern
ment ownership action prior to its being
made a national campaign Issue. Bu*l-
ish tactics are likely to be continued in
the stock market to-day. Purchases are
strongly recommended "

G. I>. Potter says: "The bank
statement to-day will show another sub
stantial increase in reserve. The stock
market now responds to the favorable
factors in a manner that is moat grat
ifying to the Investor. I consider the
currency bill a moat bullish factor and
think yesterday’s demonstration only a
in lid beginning of what will follow on
the constructive side of nric#»H While
there will he some profit taking this
morning. I believe holdings should b<-
increased on ail recessions and do not

GRAIN NOTES.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says; "Bull)'
in wheat said they would not he sur
prised to se* some little break, hut ad
vised buying on every decline to around
90 cents for May. Bulls on the deferred
futures in corn picked up courage after
the 1 lose, due to the rally and antici
pate that the movement will fa'l off
shortly; that the cash demand, which Is i
usually dull at this season, would re- |
vtve before long, and that it would take
a substantial advance to start country
selling again.”

ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET.
(By W. H. White, Jr., of the White Pro
vision Co.)
Cattle 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 t\< -
tive during the week, but will likely drift
into dullness with the approach of the
holiday season, especially ( >n medium
and plain stock. After January 1 re
ceipts are expected to be lighter, but of
u better grade, and higher price levels
will doubtless be lurched.
Hogs continue in good supply, with
prices barely steady to a fraction lower
