Dec. 21. In response to strength in Liverpool cables the cotton market opened Et« .idy to-day witrh first D ices at a net advance of 2 to 10 points from Tuesday's close. There was con- I tale ruble covering in Liverpool for the j Christmas holidays. Trad* interests (••ntinucd to buy here, and there was evidence of outside speculation. Cloudy weather and rain was reported Jover the greater part of the belt, which Helped the advance along. T After the call there was unloading of Christmas* cotton and January and July I est about 5 points from the opening. Other positions, however, held firm. Later the market showed additional Ft length on further resistance in Liv erpool and there was an inclination on the part of ring shorts to cover.

Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: January, 12.05; March, 12.30; May. 12.28; July. 12.26. While the buying movement was at its height, with December selling around 12.28. January 12.10 ami 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 no 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.

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 is 678.000 bales 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 bales. 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 « price level, which Is nowadays re garded a.s a mean basis. The rally of the past two days Is 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 of 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 bales In 1911. The into sight for the week Is roughly estimated around 541,000 bales In 1911. The into sight for the week Is roughly estimated around 641.000 bales, against 445.329 bales last year. As a vanguard of the next c'op 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.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 24.—The Govern ment report on acreage and condition of winter wheat was up to expectations. high condition must be accepted with some reserve, as the fall has not been favorable to the best results, hav- ng made a very rank growth over a ar *e P art 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 1 P°° r c °™ crop and the dry summer and fall, which caused many farmers to put in more wheat than usual, as an in- surar.ee against the future, and in some sections to provide a late pasture, the latter event having been well realized.
