Bulls Renew Aggressive Tactics
on Firm Cables and Wet
Weather—Holders Firm.
NEW YORK, Dec. 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 bdying by houses with Liverpool
connections. There was some profit-
taking, bu\ the market took this selling
well.
While sentiment continues against the
market the advance w r as maintained.
During the forenoon shorts covered
rather urgently, seeing that the market
was unexpectedly steady This second
wave of covering carried prices 18 ta 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
was 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 will 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 op 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<ti21 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,

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 23.—Whether
accidentally sympathetic or otherwise,
the following account of yesterday’s
stock market in New Y’ork, 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 Stoc« 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
attributed to more favorable reports re
ceived from Washington as regards the
administration’s attitude toward corpora
tions.”
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 y 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 ^nd a
good general demand for contracts,
based on resistance in Liverpool, hetter
professional news and a more friendly
feeling all round, caused an afivance
here of 20 points in the early trading.
Of course support is somewhat tenta*
five and timid after the recent repeat
ed disappointments and the vicinity bt
notice day and developments during a

liquidation of several Southern bull com

Cotton Gossip
N I‘.\\ K)KK, Dec. 23. — The market
lowed considerable strength on better
»t»ks than due and heavy buying by
Riordan was probably the heaviest
(seller. Meld also sold. Liverpool came
• in as a good buyer, resulting in a gen
eral demand.

Merrett Tate says: "On the decline
of last few days the market has liqui
dated freely, and. while the. long inter
est is greatly reduced, 1 think the situa
tion is not entirely cleared up I be-
liev<r the market should react from yes-
tent ay’s decline and around 12 cents ail
declines meet strong resistance and the
; market becomes a scalping affair. I
• would advise caution through the holi
days and unti: the next ginners’ report.
; At present ail evidence is encouraging
• bear talk. There may be a different
- feeling after the next ginners’ report."

I 1 J‘ e Orleans Times-Pcmocrat
t ‘Absorption and consumption of
i cotton continue to run on a laj-ger
scale than production, but this does not
now seem to staivi as a barrier against
decline, and another slump in values
was recorded \esterday. New Orleans
futures and interior spots continue to
maintain a general average parity, Jan
uary here having closed at 12.11 while
the delta's quotation for standard mid
dling at common interior Texas points
was 11 Lc. and nearly 9,000 hales 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 h decline of 17fi' 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-
y of pay J* closer attention to the sta-
tistical drift.
"But * h ?. se men who predicted the
recent declines seem as confident as
ever, and treely forecast further declines
of importance Consequently, the ial,it
is still at sea and in many cases opera
tors stand aside and refuse either to
buy or sell.
First notice day on January contracts
s December LV Instructions must be
in before the close to-morrow, as notice
will probably be issued before the open
ing on December 26.
* * •
Spot cotton steady at quotations and
only lower grades of off color trading
at prices quoted. No 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-
ers are firmer. Money easier.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean sa
Wheat traders who were bullish said
required a lot of patience to be in
market as slow as this one. as its refu
to respond to the bullish news was c<
talnly discouraging, but they have fa
little * * uture an< * 8X6 keeping long
"Sentiment in corn was regarded li
night as too bearish and it was said ti
the local short interest had been
creased to proportions that made l
market look oversold.”
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
look for a continued narrow but stea
market.
"Corn—More or less snow In east a
west of the river, with rains in t
Ohio Valley. The Investment buying
the deferred futures continues on
large scale and offers are readily a

"Oats—The market is largely of a :
cal professional character, fluctuatlc
being verv narrow.
“Provisions—The market shows
steady undertone, with buying of <1
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 power to
bring about these results. In my opin
ion, the present advance is but the be
ginning of a prolonged upward move
ment."
