bles than expected, the cotton market,oh.vs ami until the next ginners' report,
opened firm to-day with first prices at ‘ * ~ "
a net advance of 6 to 15 points from the
closing quotations of Monday. Rain
was reported over the greater part of
the eastern belt with colder weather
over the eastern States.
There was quite a good deal of de
mand on the advance!
In addition to covering there was act
ive buying by houses with Liverpool
connections. ‘There waj some profit-
taking, but the market took this selling
well.
While senti;nent continues against the
market the advance was maintained.
During the forenoon shorts covered
rather urgently, seeing that the market
was unexpectedly steady. This second
wave of covering carried prices 18 i<> 23
points, or 90 cents to $1.20. a bale, above
the previous close.
Following are 11 a. m. bids In New
York: December. 12.14; January. 11.94;
March. 12.18; May, 12.14; July. 12 14.
Business was rather light during the
afternoon session, but the early advance
was firmly maintained through steady
accumulation by shorts ami leading spot
interests. The scarcity of offerings was
based on resistance in Liverpool, which
recovered the early decline and closed
about 2 points higher, with the tone
very steady. The steadiness of the
ETnglish market was explained by the
renewed activity in Wall street and
buying by India. ’
Conservative operators believe the
tide has changed and prices will work
considerably higher after the holiday
period, asserting that the South has liq
uidated considerable long cotton ami the
short end is extremely large, which will
run to cover should trade conditions im
prove. The feeling all around is grow
ing more optimistic, based on easier
money and prospects of better condi
tions after New Year’s.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DALY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 23. Whether
accldentaUy sympathetic or otherwise,
the following account of yesterday’s
stock market in New York, coming on
the heels of the optimistic reports from
London and Paris, which appeared in
Sunday’s press, is most encouraging and
show; indications of an all around re
vival of confidence.
"Trading on the Stock Exchange was
more active than in nunv months and
was regarded as an indication that I lie
period of dullness is over and specula
tive element returning to tlie market.
The renewed activity In Wall Street is
attributed to more favorable reports re
ceived from Washington as vegards the
administration’s attitude toward corpora
tions."
Liverpool came In very good with fu
tures o points better than due; spot
prices 1 point lower; sales. 12.000 bales.
Gables report less offering, less hedge
sei'ing; more continental demand for
distant futures This latter fact would
particularly indicate a growing belief
that present prices are cheap in view
of the prevailing supply conditions.
The Liverpool market closed 2 points
higher than yesterday, the tone being
given as very steady. Iwiter cables re
ported India buying.
Professional opinions from New York
aVe not as uniformly bearish. and
many consider fhe chance for a turn in
the market. Scarcity of sellers and a
good general demand for contracts. Snot
based on resistance in Liverpool, bettor December
professional news and a more friendly Januar>
feeling all round, caused an advance February
here of 20 points in the early trading. March
Of course support is somewhat tenta-, April
five and timid after the recent repeat - ] May
ed disappointments and the vicinity of
notice day and developments during a
holiday period has also a checking ef
fect. New York rumors deal with the
liquidation of several Southern bull com
binations. as an explanation of yester
day’s break, but technical rendition*
must have changed materially Jn favor
of the bull.
The market here held well around
12 45 for March.

STOCK GOSSIP
G. D. Potter says: "The stock mar
ket is responding to the new currency
bill in a manner that is most encour
aging to the holders of securities. This
you will find will be one of the most fa
vorable factors on the stock market w«
have had In a long time. The pres
ent administration is aware that a com*
servative attitude toward big business
will restore confidence, and I uc.uer-
stand it will do all in its power to
bring about these results. In my opin
ion. the present advance is but the be
ginning of a prolonged upward move
ment."
