COTTON

New York. December THE cotton
market opened firm and UP 9 TO II
points on very active buying TO cover
some of the bigger short which
withstood the bull movement e. the
early week. Generous Wall street buy
ing and confident support from enthusi-
astic room bulls did much TO give the
market a healthy appearance. Specu-
lation gave many evidences OF broaden
ing, n commission houses We're busy
all through the session. While profit
kin was INDUCED fl freely on the al
vance by those investors who were far
sighted enough TO buy cotton before the
bureau statement made its appearance
the public picked up many moderate
amounts of March and May. The domi-
mating influences were bullish cables
and reports that southern spot markets
were hardening on urgent demand
from exporters. Receipts at the ports
were smaller than last Saturday and
last year n crop information was de-
cidedly bullish. The weather south was
clearing and colder over pretty much
the entire belt. The market closed firm
with prices net u to Is points higher.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, December 7.-Speculators
long Of stocks rushed to sell today and
precipitated a VIOLENT decline which car
rled prices below last Saturdays level
leaving no vstage of the weeks gain.
Amalgamated Copper led the wagon
with Manhattan a close second. The
Copper stock touched 64S, a loss from
last nigh. OF 5S. The scramble to COW
er amongst the shorts reduced the net
loss to 31a. In Manhattan the extreme
decline was is n the net loss only

in its erratic fluctuations
On the first break in the market many
railroad stocks and the United States
Steel stocks were little affected and re-
sisted the decline Stoutly. On the sec
ond break, after the appearance Of the
bank statement, the weakness became
very general at declines of l to 3 points.
New York Central, Great Northern

western, Rock Island, the Buffalo, Ro-
chester and Pittsburg stocks and Gen
eral Electric We're especially weak.
The bank statement was even weaker
than expected. The loss in cash re-
serves reached over 1000, 900, and an
expansion of over s., 900. 900 in the oan
stretched the legal reserve requirement,
so that the surplus was cut in half and
brought to below 1000, 900.
