Despite Decline, Optimism Re mains Unabated — Canadian Pacific Weakest Issue. NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Liverpool ca- j 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 traders 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 6 to 13 point* 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 market 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 January 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 hales. 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.

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 r Year's week, and reserve over the corning 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 I he re views as the chief buyers in the North- j 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-confident outside bear interest. It is thought that the market may advance rapidly in case Census ginnings for the period should be smaller than last year. Forecasts from the Turner Bureau of Memphis and the National dinners 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. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES P. Gas Co. . . P.
