Shorts Cover, Seeing Market Unexpectedly Steady. NEW YORK. Dec. 27.— A good de mand from spot houses foi Januury and March, assisted by general week-end covering by shorts, resulted in a steady tone at the opening of the cotton mar ket to-day and first prices were at a net advance . f 1 to 8 points from the closing quotations of Friday. Un the call the list developed pro- nojmeed strength and sellers were very feu^and far between. However, there were only a few brokers on the door, and it seemed u> be a typical holiday market. The Liverpool exchange was closed, but this had no effect’on quo tations. instead of resting, us pre dicted, the market rallied more than 50c a bale from tin- initial range and held the advance There was more persist ent buying by leading spot interests, while liquidation evidently had spent its force before the holidays. The market during the forenoon ruled very steady on the same class of buy ing and there was apparently very lit tie cotton for sale. The steadiness was due mainly to reports of better spot de mand. A New Orleans wire stated that holders are more confident and a stronger defense of spots. It was ru mored that Theodore Price was out with bullish views on the situation. This helped to stay the advance. The course of the market now depends on consumption and the ability of spot holders to withstand pressure from the bearish element. There is a general feelinjr of optimism in regard to general conditions throughout the country, which was reflected in light offerings, trade demand and a disposition on the part of shorts to cover. At the close the. market was very steady with prices at a net advance of 12 to 15 points from the final quotations of Friday. Monday. 1912.

Dec. 27.—Evidence that the large Into-sight figures are the result of a rapid movement rather than of a large crop is fast increasing. The thirty leading interior towns received for the week, 309,900, against 209,000 baits last year, but show a gain in stock of only 29,090 bales, against a gain of 42,000 bales last year. The tendency of statistical changes is distinctly bullish. The Liverpool supply of American cotton is 578,000 bales less than last year; Continental stock of \merican cotton 650,000 bales less than last year. Port stocks in this country, 256.000 hales smaller. The only excess is in the stock at interior towns, which is at present 82,000 bales Harger than last year. Our market opened about 5 points higher and continued to labor under the check of January tenders, but feeling is much more hopeful, on account of the changed tone in New York. That mar ket in the last two days has shew n more steadiness than ours and advices no lon ger reflect the aggressive bearishness of the past week. Feeling seems to be undergoing a change in favor of the market. A striking and encouraging feature is the comment in the North as to the new currency law which is far more favorable than had been ex pected. Easier credit facilities and re vival in trade activity seem generally expected and will tend to diminish or re move the depression caused by uncer tainty, fear and ultra-conservatism. The market in the second hour be came quite active and strong for a Sat urday, March advancing to 12.68. New York acted well and reported Mr, Price out with a bullish view of the situation.

A broker who ex pected January notices only mistook a December notice for a January docu ment and promptly liquidating one Jan uary contract, passed the notice on to the next broker, who followed in the footsteps of the first.
