Indications are for light general rams over the central and eastern States, followed by clearing and cold weather In the central States over Sunday.” * * * The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat says; “Because the cotton market can not rise above its immediate environ ment, statistical, drift, which is bullish in the 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 that more consideration wil be given the relationship requirement bear’s sup ply, when the currency bill shall have been finally disposed of. Meanwhile, students of the market are convinced that*ultimate trouble is brewing for the short seller. “According to Secretary Hester, the world’s visible supply of American cot ton in round figures is now' 300,000 bales smaller than It was at this time in 1911, in spite of an into-sight movement thus far this year greater by 140,000 bales than to this date in the monster crop season of 1911-12.” * * * Following is the statistical position of cotton cn Friday.

The rlner crowd sold aggressively. Wa’l street, the South, the uptown crowd and ion^s were noticeable on the selling side. No one seemed Inclined to support the list and the break made without a pause. Leading bulls and some of the larger spot houses who have supported the list for the past few days were 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 bales. 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 bull crowd, but there was good de mand at the bottom and recovery of about 6 points ensued. After (bat the market continued on its downward jour ney and repeated the lowest point of thMiiay. As March and May went tum- I'lWfe on the way down from 12.50 to 12.14 there was < siderable 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 caruii 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, how.ever, 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. The principal Increase In ginnings was in Georgia, which showed an increase of 148.000 bales, against 111.000 bales last year. Arkansas bowed 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.

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- fiay 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 12.439,086 last year and 13.770,727 in 1911. This Is 843,000 bales for the pe riod, against 585,000 bales ’ast year and 954,000 bales in 1911. The prin cipal increase in ginnings for the period over last year is in Arkansas, 96,000, against 43,000 last, year Georgia. 148,- 000. against 111,000; Louisiana, 51,000, against 18,000: Mississippi, 129,04)0, against 66,000; South Carolina. 115,000, 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, i he foal figures 14.667,000. in cluding 650,000 1inters and other addi tions, but the best authorities state that the percentage ginned this year la much higher than last year The com ing gjnriers’ 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 by further pronounced weakness In the markets. New York broke to 12.14 for 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 figure, although trading is not active The first January notice day here w ill be December 26 and in New York on l>ecember SO.

The Government ac cepts the offer of American Telegraph ami 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.

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 most grat ifying to the Investor. I consider th<* currency bill a most bullish factor and think yesterday’s demonstration only a mild beginning of what will follow on the constructive side of prices. While there will be some profit taking this morning, I believe holdings should be increased on all recessions and do not overlook Union Pacific and Reading.’' GRAIN NOTES. The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “Bulls In wheat said they would not be sur prised to see some little break, but ad vised buying on every decline to around '»0 cents for May. Bulls on the deferred futures in corn picked up courage after the close, due to the rally and antici pate that the movement will fa 1 off shortly; that the cash demand, which is usually dull at this season, would re vive before long, and that if would take a substantial advance to start country selling again." HUT.STUCK CLOSEBFFERINCS Washington Tells Company to There Was Little Feature in the Relinquish Control of Western Union—General Advance. Trend of Prices—Unsettled Weather in Corn Belt. By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—Announcement In Washington of the agreement reached ; between the United States Government j and the American Telephone and Tele- i graph Company, by which tills corpora- : tion Is to relinquish its control of the ; Western Union Telegraph Company, , caused a tremendous rebound in Airier!- ( can Telephone and the opening of the j stock market to-day. American Telephone, which had closed at 117% on Friday, opened at 120%, but within half an hour had touched 124 1 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 f »r va- 1 rlous reasons. They believed that It j had temporari'y checked the movement for Government ownership of telephone J 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 g^eat 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 fnl'ows: "Two thousand shares of American Telephone and Telegraph traded In at from 120% to 124.” These 2.000 shares, 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 124% for a net gain of 7 points. Belling set In then and a few* recessions were noted throughout the list. Among the other gains were: United Stales Stee> common. %; Union Pacific, •%; Thin! Avenue Traction. %; Southern Pacific. A < : Reading, 7 *; Northern Pa cific. •%: New Haven. %; Lehigh Valley, 1%; Erie. %; St. Paul. %: Amalgamated Copper and Canadian Pacific, 1%. 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 London was firm on covering. The market closed steady. Govern ments unchanged; other bonds steady. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. tPock quotations: Arnal. Copper. Am.
