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.

RISE III U1T, STOCK CEREALS FIRM ON CLOSE OFFERINGS 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.
