NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Liverpool ca
bles were awaited with nervousness by
the bulls, for it was realized that they
would give a clew to the Impression
which the advance here made on for
eign trailers during the triple holiday.
Liverpool more than responded to the
advance here and that market was
about 8 points higher than last Wed
nesday’s close, resulting in the local cot
ton market opening steady, with first
prices at a net advance of 5 to 13 points
from Saturday's close. On the opening
there was good buying, attributed to
spot houses and houses with Southern
connections. This held the market
strong during the first fifteen minutes,
but the maraet developed a downward
movement after the call, as a result of
heavy selling by a number of independ
ent operators, who sold for immediate
profits. This brought out considerable
liquidation in December and January,
causing general weakness. Liverpool
and New Orleans were noticeable on the
selling side. Wall street and commission
houses sold. The ring was inclined to
sell on all rallies, while the larger «pot
houses seemed inclined to absorb the
distress cotton. The market lost its
advance and fell back to the previous
close.
Everybody seems to be waiting for
Januai’y notice day to-morrow. The
majority of traders believe that the hid
den mitt of the big spot interests is in
the January-March situation. It is be
lieved that these houses have covered
.January rather freely during the past
several days, but it is believed that they
are still short of that month, while they
are presumably long of March. How
large* tenders will be it is problematical,
but some close observers would not be
surprised to see most of the certificated
staple delivered. Certificated stock of
cotton In local warehouses total about
68,000 bales, but It can be tendered be
fore it has been classified. The total
amount of cotton in local warehouses is
over 89.000 bales. It is reported that a
good deal of sandy, trashy cotton has
been refused by the exchange recently
as unspinnable.
During the late forenoon the market
was under a general wave of profit tak
ing by those who bought around the low
price a week ago. There was consider
able liquidation of January on the
theory that all of the 68.000 bales of
certificated stock would be tendered
Tuesday. Support was lacking and De
cember eased off to 12.17, January 12.03
and March 12.34.
At the close the market was steady
with prices 6 points higher to 4 points
lower than the final quotations of Sat
urday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.—Liverpool
is encouraging in futures as well as In
spots. The former at the opening of
our market were about 5 points higher
than due; spot prices 5 points higher;
sales larger; total 12.000 Bales. Cables
report better feeling generally over
trade prospects, and uneasiness among
mills over small stocks and difficulty in
securing desirable cotton.
First trades here were at an advance
of 6 to 8 points, followed by easiness,
mostly in consequence of dull trade dur
ing the New Year’s w’eek, and reserve
over the coming Census report. Press
comment continues generally optimistic,
looking for a boom year In many lines
of trade.
Professional advices from New York
show a distinct change in feeling toward
the market. Several influential inter
ests, which had been prominent on the
bear side, are now mentioned in the re
views as the chief buyers in the North
ern market.
The strong illustions to the week long
interest and unavoidable liquidation
have ceased since the drop to 12c for
the spring months In New York and the
announcement of the Charleston cotton
failure. Advices are now that technical
conditions are bullish on the basis of an
over-confldent outside bear interest. It
is thought that the market may advance
rapidly In case Census glnnlngs for
the period should be smaller than last
year
Forecasts from the Turner Bureau of
Memphis and the National Ginnere are
eagerly expected
The market eased in the second hour
on a report of Memphis selling, which
was construed as an indication that
preliminary ginning returns for the pe
riod are fuller than liked. The under
tone of the market is bullish, but at
the beginning of a turn some Jolts and
Irregularities in the price movement
must be expected.

B. W. Snow had the following; “From
Bloomfield. Ind.-—Weather for corn
husking fine; much com is in the fields
and showing damage; yield less than
expected, quality poor. Wheat shows
effect of light freezing. From Mt. Ver
non, Ind.- Wheat very rank; corn all
gathered; yield very light, and quality
worst ever known From Colchester—
Five Inches of snow, which is good for
wheat. From Lincoln, III.—weather
fine and considerable plowing done last
week.”

Bartlett-Frasier Company says;
“Wheat—We look for a quiet market
during the next few days.
“Com—Speculative sentiment, as a
whole, continues very bearish, but thera
is still considerable buying of an In
vestment character and the market is
becoming heavily oversold.
“Oats—Thera is more or less pressure
from Canadian offerings, which has a
tendency to curtail the demand of our
own products.
“Provisions—Prospects are for a gen
erally lighter run of hogs, which should
help prices, especially as there has been
considerable scattered liquidation, owing
to lower com values.”
