H. and B. Beers Cotton Letter to C. H..
Cothran Manaoer

There was no change this morning in
Liverpools attitude of late, values there
ruling easier today than expected closing,
unchanged compared with yesterday for
futures and about points lower for spots;
sales only 5000; receipts. 10000. There is
no doubt but that the heavy movement to
the market is affecting the foreign mar
ket unfavorably. 1t being natural for
heavy receipts to effect any quoted COM
modify. and, in this case there Is no
exception to the rule.
AS to the census report OF next Thurs
day, due at / O'Clock. New Orleans time.
the trade is prepared for a total gnned
of about 1os0O,006 bales. it being probable
that more or less will affect the market
accordingly. In other words If 10000, 900
bales be reported glnned to December 10
the market will probably decline; IL under
10, 100000 prices will probably advance, TO-
500 600 being considered about neutral
To attain 1o,S0O0O0 bales the average of
daily ginnings December ! to December
10, would have TO figure 1900 bales
against 10000 bales per day for the same
period one year ago Compared with year
before last there are no comparatives
available for the first ten December work
Ing days in 1904 but II we compare with
returns In that year. November to De
oember IL, we Will find that on the basis
of f0.S00 900 ginned to the 18th inst there
would be as much OF cotton ginned during
the period as was turned out in the big
crop year 2,23s. 900 bales against 2,1S5, 900
and the average of daily ginnings would
figure 1900 bales per day, compared with
$1,000 two years ago. therefore anything
larger than 10SG0O00 would show a con-
tinuance of record ginnings, even at tnis
late date.

COTTON EASES OFF
ON BEAR PRESSURE
Close Steady from 4 to 7
Points Lower
CONSIDERABLE FOR SALE
Some of the Bearshness Attributed to
Private Estimates of Forthcoming
Ginners' Fioures-lnterior Con-
ditions Rather Encouraging.

New York. December 1S.-The cotton
market was easier generally as result
of local bear pressure with prices sell
ing at the lowest so far for the season.
The close was steady at net decline of
40l7 points Sales were estimated at 200,
900 bales.
The opening was steady at decline Of
one point to an advance of 2 points,
which was about as due on cables The
early news showed no change in the gem
eral situation, but there was considera-
BILE cotton for sale, right after the call,
which seemed to come through three or
four of the big losal traders, and which
looked like a preconcerted attempt to
break the market. Some of the selling
was attributed to parties who issued pri-
waite estimates of the ginners' figures and
was thought to indicate expectations of
a bearish showing by the census report
next Thursday, while the selling of Jan
uary by Liverpool people was thought to
point toward heavy January tenders, and
during the afternoon the near months
were relatively weak in spite of rather
bullish advices from the south as to in
terror conditions.
The close was only a couple of points
up from the lowest on the active months.
Receipts at the ports today, 67,116 bales
against 76,029 last week, and 1902 last
year. For the week, $4,000 bales against
4l6.16i last week, and 241773 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans, 1888
bales against 1901 last year. and at
Houston. 81, 1856 bales against 1913 last
year.
