NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK.—The cotton market
opened Tuesday at a decline of eight
points to an advance of four points
with near months a shade easier un
der realizing but advance dright after
the close of a continuation of Mon
day's buying movement.
Dullish sentiment was encouraged
by the firm showing of later cables
from Liverpool and reports of a firm
: pot situation in the south. There
also was trade buying as well as some
commission house demand and cov
ering of shorts on the advance to 23.85
for January or about 30 to 35 points
net higher. Realizing developed at
these figures, however, and the mar
ket was a few points off from the
best at the end of the first hour.
Heavy realizing was absorbed on
moderate reactions during the first
hour. At the same time little hedge
selling was reported and the market
firmed up again on continued cover
ing and fresh buying. January sold
up to 24.00 with the general list show
ing net advances or about 40 to 50
points, but trading became less active
at these figures, and at midday prices
were 20 to 27 points below the top
under renewed profit-taking.
Afternoon trading wad quieter but
prices held fairly steady at reactions
of 30 points from the high levels of
the morning. January was holding
Around 23.70 at 2 o'clock with the
general list showing net advances of
70 to 20 points.
NEW YORK SPOTS.
NEW YORK.—Spot cotton, quiet;
middling, 24.20.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS.—The cotton mar
ket had a firm opening Tuesday
mornning. While first trades show
ed no change to a loss of four points
owing to Liverpool cables being
slightly 'ower than due, good trade
buying v as at once felt and as senti
ment was decidedly bullish prices ad
vanced steadily until by the end of
♦he first half hour of trading Decem
ber sold as high as 23.72, January
23.75 and March 23.97, or 31 to 37
points above the previous close. The
weather map was generally rainless
and temperatures seasonable. A
Washington private bureau estimated
October domestic consumption likely
Iy he as much as 530,000 bales.
The market continue'd fairly active
during the greater part of the morn
,ng and prices advanced further un
der pressure of trade ana speculative
buying. Large prospective exports
for the day and expectation of a
bullish weekly report Wednesday on
account of the recent extensive frosts
in belt kept prices on the upgrade.
In the last part of the morning the
market eased off on rather liberal
realizing and more than half of the
earlier advance was lost. December
and January trading down to 23 58.
After prof't-taking had been com
pleted around noon the market ral
lied again and by the middle of the
afternoon prices were again well on
their way towards the high points of
the morning with December 23.72. and
January 23,70. Consteerahle comment
was caused by the relative strength
of the December position which Is now
selling above January with more or
leas talk of considerable cotton to he
delivered on December contracts In
due course. The afternoon advance
was based largely on the reported big
demand for export In the southwest
and the expectation of a very bullish
weekly weather report Wednesdav as
a result <f the recent frosts. Total
exports Tuesday. 74,924 bales.

Market Closed Steady;
Augusta Spots 23.1‘J
By W. A. LUFBURROW.
Market Editor. ~
The advance of the cotton market
Monday was checked Tuesday and
the spot market at Augusta on the
close Tuesday was quoted at 23.19,
which is unchanged. An advance
took place during the day but fail
ed to hold, probably the best thing
for the market. The action Tues
day was the natural and logical re
sult from Monday’s activity. The
scattered outside buying following the
opening was met with hedge selling.
As a whole the market is tighter but
looks higher. Trade Interest absorb
ed light sales.
Though cotton is decidedly on the
bull side, there Is too great an ad
vance at this time for the good of
the situation. With strong and rapid
bull advance, always comes a corre
sponding reaction. It will be remem
bered that the market has been domi
nated by boars for some time and the
bull day was well over-due, but, the
bears are sure to have another great
inning, unless the advance is more
orderly. it Is very evident that there
Is too much speculation in the mar
ket to. promise much stability. it is
not possible at this time to tell how
much actual business is being done—
that is, business outside of the realm
of pure speculation.
