NEW YORK COTTON MARKET
The Census Bureau Reports the
Amount Ginned to December 13

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Hutton's wire says:
THE market opened steady and unchanged to 8
points down. Trading quite large in the
early dealings, with the bears hammering the
market. but they were not very successful. The
feature of the day the ginners' report
showing IL ,S92 900 bales ginned to December 49,
which had very little effect. The market is all
right and while we may have a quiet one until
after the holidays brokers think will see
higher prices in the future.
The census report on the amount OF cotton
ginned TO December IA was just about what the
trade expected. The bears made some capital
out Of the fact that the states Of South Carolina
Georgia and Florida have ginned more cotton
than was estimated by the government. In this
connection ii is well TO take into consideration
the fact that the bales In the eastern belt run
under the averages of 500 pounds given by the
government, and the discrepancy is not so great
as appears on the surface. Southern spot mar
kets steadier and exporters are reported
good buyers. The selling basis is favorable and
the foreign exchange market is strong enough
to make purchases around the present levels
profitable Trade is expected 10 improve after
the holidays
Spot closed points decline: middling upands
