NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—In response to strength in Liverpool cables the cotton market opened steady to-day with first j prices at a net advance of 2 to 10 points ifrom Tuesday’s close. There was cor.- t derable covering in Liverpool for the Christmas holidays. Trade Interests 'continued to buy here, and there was (evidence of outside speculation. Cloudy w'eather and rain was reported over the greater part of the belt, which I helped the advance along. T After the call there was unloading of Christmas cotton and January and July [lost about 5 points from the opening, i * ’ther positions, however, held fihm. j Later the market showed additional strength on further resistance In Liv- Ierpool and there was an inclination on the pari of ring shorts to cover. Re- I ports that spot demand was Increasing served to make sellers go slow and dur ing the forenoon the list stood 10 to 13 points higher than the previous close. Following are 11 a m. bids in New York: January, 12 05; March, 12 30; May, 12.2S; July, 12.26. While the buying movement was at its height, with December selling around 12.28, January 12.10 and March 12.34, a sudden wave of general realizing sales over Christmas caused the market to change Its course during the late fore noon and prices quickly receded to the previous close. This selling was said to be further long line liquidation and profit-taking by those who bought on yesterday’s advance. The new currency law Is expected to do much in restoring prosperity throughout the country and has al ready given the trade greater confi dence in higher values. It is reported that holders are firmer and will resist tho decline. Semi-weekly interior movement: CHICAGO.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.—The Govern ment report on acreage and condition of winter wheat was up to expectations. I he high condition must be accepted with some reserve, as the fall has not been favorable to the best results, hav ing made a very rank growth over a large part of the country and estab lished a sensitive situation should a very wet spell of weather be followed by a general freeze up. The large acreage was the result of iY l e . P°?, r corn crop and the dry summer and fall, which caused many farmers to put In more wheat than usual, as an In surance against the future, and in some sections to provide a late pasture, the latter event having been well realized.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 24.—English consols are quoted 3-16d higher. The stock of American cotton at Liverpool in to-day’s statement for the week Ss 578,000 hales less than last year and 34,000 bales less than in 1911. The Liverpool market again showed a good market, with futures about 5 points higher than due; spots 11 points higher: sales, 8.000 hales. Our market opened about 4 points higher; was steady, but cautious. New York ad vices, while admitting the bullish change by heavy liquidation and a drop to a price level, which is nowadays re garded as a mean basis. The rally of the past two days *ls considered rather as a neutral reaction Real and confident enterprise on the part of speculation has yet to develop, and this is hardly expected until after the turn of the year and notice day de velopments are known. The resolute action of Congress in re- spect to currency legislation has shown Itself favorably by greater confidence in financial matters. Reports come from many points "f a stronger tendency by holders to resist the decline. We shall compare on Friday with mill takings of 399,000 hales for this week last year and 312,000 bates in 1911. The Into sight for the week is roughly estimated around 541,000 hales in 1911. The into sight for the week Is roughly estimated around 541,000 bales, against 445,329 hales last year. As a vanguard of the next crop a re port comes from South Texas, that owing to the awful weather this month, preliminary conditions are unfavorable and unless a long dry spell improves matters in January preparations will be late.
