SHORT COVERING
Bulls Renew Aggressive Tactics
on Firm Cables and Wet
Weather—Holders Firm.
NEW YORK, Deo. 23.—Influenced by
short covering and better Liverpool ca
bles than expected, the cotton market
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 was some profit-
taking, but the market took this selling
well.
While sentiment 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 to 22
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
wa* firmly maintained through steady
accumulation by shorts and 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
English market was explained by the
renewed activity in Wall street and
buying by India.
Conservative operators believe the
tide has changed and prices wjll work
considerably higher after the holiday
period, asserting that the South has liq
uidated considerable long cotton and 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
At the close the market was very
steady, with prices at a net advance of
18@21 points from the final quotations
of Monday.
Following are 10 a. m. bids in New
Orleans: December, 12.20; Januarv,

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAfLY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 23.—Whether
accidentally 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
shows indications of an all around re
vival of confidence.
"Trading on the Stock Exchange was
more active than in many months and
was regarded as an indication that the
period of dullness is over and specula
tive element returning to the market.
The renewed activity in Wall Street is
ittributed to more favorable reports re
ceived from Washington as regards the
administration’s attitude toward corpora
tlons.’’
Liverpool came In very good with fu
tures 5 points better than due; spot
prices 1 point lower; sales, 12.000 bales.
Cables report less offering, less hedge
selling; 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. Later cables re
ported India buying.
Professional opinions from New York
are not as uniformly bearish, and
many consider the chance for a turn in
the market. Scarcity of sellers and a
good general demand for contracts,
based on resistance in Liverpool, better
professional news and a more friendly
feeling all round, caused an advance
here of 20 points In the early trading.
Of course support is somewhat tenta
tive and timid after the recent repeat
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 conditions
must have changed material y in favor
cf the bull.
The market here held well around
12.45 for March.
RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES
Cotton Gossip
XK\y YORK, Dec. 33.—The market
i snowed considerable strength on better
cables than due and heavy buying by
.snorts.
I • • •
RIordan was probably the heaviest
l seller. Weld also sold. Liverpool came
Jri as a good buyer, resulting In a gen
eral demand.
• • *
Sterrett Tate says; "On the decline
of last few days the market has liqui
dated freely, and, while the long Inter
est is greatly reduced, J think the situa
tion is not entirely cleared up I be
lieve the market should react rroin yes
terday’s decline and around 12 cents all
declines meet strong resistance and the
market becomes a scalping affair. I
would advise caution through the holi
days and until the next ginners’ report.
At present ali evidence is encouraging
bear talk. Theme may be a different
feeling after the next ginners’ report.”

Browne. Drakeford & Co.: "Liverpool
cables, ‘India buying Local buying on

NEW' ORLEANS, Dec. 23. Hayward
( lark: The weather map shows fair
and cold weather in TexaR and Okla
homa. Freezing nearly to the coast
Cloudy over the rest of the belt with
general rainfall in the central* and
eastern States; heavy rains in the east
ern States and Mississippi and snow
in Arkansas.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: Absorption and consumption of
cotton continue to run on a larger
scale than production, but this does not
now seem to stan/1 as a barrier against
decline, and another slump in values
was recorded yesterday. New Orleans
futures and interior spots continue to
maintain a general average parity Jan
uary here having closed at 12.11 w'hile
the delta’s quotation for standard mid
dling at common Interior Texas points
was ll%c, and pearly 9.000 bales were
sold at that price. There is a carrying
charge from month to month represent
ed by the New Orleans contract quota
tions from January to July.
"After a decline of 176 points from
the season s high level on March, friends
of the staple quite naturally discuss the
logic of reactions upward of steadier
markets henceforth and of the deslrabll-
tlattoaf drift* C ‘° Ser aUemlon to th «
"Eut those men who predicted the
recent declines seem as confident as
ever, and freely forecast further declines
of importance Consequently, the tala it
is still at sea and in many cases opera
tors stand aside and refuse either to
buy or Bell.’
First notice day on January contracts
s December 26. Instructions must be
in before the close to-morrow, as notice
will probably he issued before the open
ing on December 26.

Spot cotton steady at quotations and
only ower grades of off color trading
at prices quoted. Mo pressure to- sell
but the better grades of white cotton
are not obtainable at quotations

Memphis says there Is a surprising
Increase in demand for spots and hold

“Sentiment in corn was regarded last
night as too bearish and it wac said that
the local short Interest had been in
creased to proportions that made the
market look oversold.”
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "We
look for a continued narrow but steady
market.
“Corn—More or less snow in east and
west of the river, with rains in the
Ohio Valley. The investment buying of
the deferred futures continues on a
large scale and offers are readily ab
sorbed.
"Oats—The market Is largely of a lo
cal professional character, fluctuations
being very narrow.
"Provisions—The market shows a
steady undertone, with buying of de
ferred futures for investment.”
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 we
have had in a long time. The pres
ent administration is aware that a con
servative attitude toward big business
will restore confidence, and I under
stand it will do all in its pow T er to
bring about these results. In my opin
ion. the present advance is but the be
ginning of a prolonged upward move
ment.”
