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, 12.23; March. 12.47; May, 12.52; July, 12.61 Estimated cotton receipts: Tuesday. 1912.

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 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 reaction theory.’ " * • • 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.

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.” • * * Central Leather declared initial divi dend of $2 on common stock.
