Southern holders were weakening. If
the runor is true, we have not been
able TO verify It, and as far as the At
lantic district Is concerned, we can say
II is not true. Spot business is prac-
tically at a standstill, but farmers are
offering very little and not sufficient to
be a burden on the market. On the
appearance of bearish circular after a
long silence. leads to the superstition
that the bears were seeking for a high
er level, enough to justify putting out
a new line of shorts. Yesterday a hue
and cry was raised over the failure
of two Insignificant banks in Georgia.
The failures had taken place several
days before, and were a matter of
common knowledge in the section d.
rectly interested. The manner in which
the reports were circulated yesterday
and also the talk of weakening by
holders to-day seem part of plan
10 undermine confidence and strike a
blow at the prices before the ginners'
report comes out. No matter what
one may think about the immediate
future, it will not do to underestimate
the strength of forces which are work
ing for a decline. They are flushed
with success, and flush with profits,
and If spinners keep out of market,
they may easily succeed in forcing
lower prices. There is nothing alb
normal in either receipts or exports,
and the situation resolves itself into
that of endurance on part of the hold
er of cotton. If the report should prove
true that he is anxious to get rid of
his load at present prices. any further
advance cannot be reasonably expect
ed. Our closing prices show a decline
on the day of IA to Is points. Liver
pool is due to come to lower in the
morning.

j. S. DACHE & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick & Co.


New York, Dec. 15.-The market has
been quiet and irregular. The bears
recently have shown little aggressive
ness, being willing apparently to per-
nit an advance, but popular sentiment
is too bearish to encourage general
buying movement and the result is
naturally a narrow scalping market
pending fresh developments. Reports
reaching up from the South indicate
continued firnness among holders with
but little spot demand, and it looks
as though the endurance of the South
ern holders was being put to a try
ing test. The future of the market
is in their hands. Meanwhile, it APP
pears that spinners, finding it difficult
to obtain spot cotton on a parity, with
futures, are buying moderately in the
speculative markets. When the spots
that certainly exist whether the gov
eminent has estimated too high or too
low, comes out. the hedge will of course
add to the selling pressure. Liverpool
showed easiness as to futures, steadi-
ness as TO spots. The local market
opened steady, l to 4 points lower raj
lied few points and eased off again,
with prices in the early afternoon about
10 points net lower.
An interesting news item was the re-
port that special agent of the Cen
sus Bureau had issued a statement
claiming that the government had very
seriously over-estimated the crop. This
gentleman is reported as having made
a personal canvass of ginners and be-
lieved the actual crop is not more than
10,773,000 bales, and the governments
correspondents have overestimated the
yield per acre.

AuVtHe FeOpIe NOT TO sell COTTON Tx
cept on Advances.
New York, Dec. 15.-The market lost
all the advance to-day and the trad
ing showed that there was very little
outside interest in the cotton market
now. After selling at S.09c yesterday
May ran to 1920 to-day. The market
continues to run around within narrow
limits and the steadiness helps bust
ness. No one cares to see a repetition
of the recent collapse. Even if prices
are going lower it is to be hoped that
the decline will be slow and put off
few weeks. AS we can have had
a fairly steady market for a while
and let the trade go ahead with some
confidence that the price is not going
to break away again and land at 6
cents, there would be more buying
and greater demand for cotton, the
difficulty with the market is that every
one Is afraid of another open break.
There is not enough cotton coming in
to cause such a break at TIC, but
bear speculation is still on this side,
and 1t will require a halt and a rally
of Importance to cause shorts suffi-
cient loss to stop heavy selling. I'm
til that time comes there will be
enough pressure on advances to keep
the price from rocking very much.
There is likely to be a narrow mar
ket for some time. We would not sell
except on advance.

TRADE BODIES TO

The Savannah Cotton Exchange will
be closed for two days during the
Christmas holidays, Saturday Christ
mas Eve and Monday, on which the
celebration proper of the day will take
place. This matter was decided yes
terday afternoon at the December
meeting of the board of directors
Further than this decision only routine
business was transacted.
1t is probable that the Board of
Trade will observe the same days and
and as many of them as the Cotton
Exchange. This is the more likely as
the trade in naval stores is now in
the duller part of the season and it
is probable that even should the Board

New York, Dec. 15.-The cotton mar

ing downward under local bear pres
sure and selling apparently from New
Orleans sources which was taken to
mean less satisfactory spot" condi-
tions. The market opened steady at
an advance of l point on April. but
generally l to points lower which
was rather better than due on the
showing of the Liverpool futures mar
ket. Quotations there were points
lower at the hour of the local opening
when an advance of l point was ex-
pected. But the English spot market
showed relative steadiness and early
advices from the South indicating con-
tinued stability among interior hold
ers; and there was some support here
that was accelerated apparently by re-
ports that a certain person connected
with the census department has made
a statement to the effect that the gov
eminent estimate of the crop was too
high. But prices only went up point
or two from the opening figures when
supporting orders were withdrawn and
during the remainder of the day the
tone was generally easy with fiuctu-
atoms irregular but in the main down.
ward. The close was steadied a point
or so by room covering, but showed
net loss of 10 to 16 points. Sales were
estimated at 100000 bales. During the
late trading some messages received
from New Orleans reported weakening
among Southern spot holders and as
much of the selling here during the
last hour came from brokers with
Southern connections it was generally
believed that New Orleans was selling
possibly for both accounts. The OH
cial advices from the South, however,
indicated generally steady spot prices,
though business reported was very
light. Interior receipts for the day
were light, but ports ran fairly lib
eral while exports again were full.
