New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS Dec t2.-The cotton mar ket was quite active at the opening at full board prices, but with the sudden turn in the tide or contract values about 10 a. m. there was an abrupt falling off in the demand for spots. The slump in prices for futures predi- cated upon further troubles in the New York market for securities and money had the eff feet of causing local buyers of spots to move with extreme caution and from being willing operators at yesterdays level of values they became quite insistent in their demands for concessions Sales. $500 bales, including 2. 300 to arrive Quotation unchanged
 Futures opened with advance of iq2 points and moved up 243 points additional. Financial conditions in New York which caused the Wall Street bull clique to throw overheard heavy lines of long cotton. caused contracts in that market to break badly. The decline thus precipitated in New York was quickly reflected in this market and values gave way 7G8 points The decline was checked about u 80 a. m. by Secretary Hes ter's showing of a very light weekly movement of the crop into sight and prices reacted about points. leaving the market at the close 20 4 points lower than yesterdays closing figures.

the whole favored the bull side, since the car famine talk proves to have been grossly ex- aggerated and on the whole had little basis at
 least no more than is the rule most seasons. Since big crop people have been compelled to resort to the short car supply cry to help pull through the effect has been not only to convince believers in a yield not much over
 0 800. 900. but it has also caused adoption of moderate estimates by people who were un- decided which course to follow. It is evil dent that the excess over last years hgures will be wiped cut believe many weeks 1T the present ratio of receipts is maintained. The Liverpool weekly report still shows over 200 = 900 bales less American cotton than on this date last year Slight changes occurred in the market, but the weekend figures of i0o.- 900 less than last year leaving only l6o. 900 to be wiped out over last year made sellers very cautious. Port receipts estimated at 36. 900. against 56 900 last year.
