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.

Dec 20 —Prices went down with a bang at the opening of the cotton market to-day on the publication of the bearish Census Bureau figures on cotton of the 1913 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 cracked 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 hale lower than Friday's final. The ring crowd sold aggressively. Wail street, the South, the uptown crowd and longs were noticeable on the selling side. No one seemed inclined to support the list and the break made without a pause Leading bulls amt some of the larger spot houses who have supported the list for the past few days w T ere not in evidence and the 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 200,000 hales. Just before the opening guesses ranged from 12.450.000 to 17,798,000 bales. The 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 the bidl orow’d, 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 went tum bling on the way down from 12.50 to 12.14 there was ( siderable Stop I OSS orders urfeovered It was liquidation of the same sort as has been the feature of the market since last Monday. Much of it came from the South and may be described as distress cotton. There seems to be 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 1 to 14 totaled 843.000 bales.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 20.—'The Liv erpool stock of American cotton at tlie close of this week is 493,000 bales smaller than last year. Liverpool to- j <'.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.- 606 bales ginned to December 12. against 12.439,036 last year and 13,770.727 in 1911. This is 843.000 bales for the pe riod, against 585,000 bales last year ami 954.000 bales in 1911.

Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama re about the same as last year. Applying last year s percentage of 92.2, the toal figures 14,667.000. in cluding 650,000 linters and other addi tions. but the best authorities state that the percentage ginned this year is much higher than last year. The com ing ginners* reports will have to prove that. Meanwhile, to-day’s Census fig ures were much above general expecta tions and flattering to bearish sentiment in other quarters, which, was reflected J by further pronounced weakness in the markets. New York broke to 1.2.14 for j March and prices 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 weakness. After the first rush to sell was over, the market recovered to 12.50 for March, and held steady around that j figure, although trading is not active.

Washington Tells Company to Relinquish Control of Western Union—General Advance. By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, Dec 20. Announcement In Washington of the agreement reached between the United Htates Government and the American Telephone and Tele graph Company, by which this corpora tion is to relinquish Its control or the Western Union Telegraph Company, caused a tremendous rebound In Ameri can Telephone and the opening of the stock market to-day. American Telephone, which had closed at 117% on Friday, opened at 120%, but within half an hour had touched 124 for a net advance of 6%. Western Union did not respond as sharply as American Telephone, open ing at 61 for a gain of 1 point. Traders regarded the Washington an nouncement with great optimism 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 end 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 as follows: "Two thousand shares of American Telephone and Telegraph traded In at from 120% to 124.” These 2.000 shares, however, came in lots of 600, 200 and 100 The strength In the wire stock# 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 134% 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. %; Southern Pacific, •%; Reading. %; Northern Pa cific. \; New Haven. %; Lehigh Valley. 1%; Erie, %; St. Paul. %; Amalgamated Copper a R. and Canadian Pacific, 176- The curb was strong.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Bulls in wheat said they would rot be sur prised to see some little break, but ad vised buying on every decline to around 90 cents for May. Bulls on the deferred futures in corn picked up courage after close, due to the rally and antici pate that the movement will fa I off shortly; that the cash demand, which is usually dull at this season, would re vive before long, and that it would take a. substantial advance to start country selling again,” LIVE STOCK.

ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET. (By VV. 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 ac tive during the week, but will likely drift into dullness with the approach of the holiday season, especially on medium and plain stock.
