IS STILL SINKING
LOCAL COTTON MARKET H0vERING
 ABOUT s1S CENTS.
Reports of Ginners, Government Reports and Expected Report of Agricultural Bureau Having a Depressing
 Effect.

There was little stirring in the local cot- ton market Tuesday, other than . decease in prices from s.s-fe to SIS cents for mid ding, As usual the decline locally was but an echo of the decline in the big mar or sold anywhere. The decline of yester- day wasn't very great, but nine cent cotton seems to be still great distance away
 Before the Presidential election cotton men were sure that larger demand would boost the price of the staple as soon as the result was known. but 1t was not forthcom-- ing. A cotton man said yesterday that higher prices would be forthcoming after the Christmas holidays, but he said 1t with q smile.
 10 be in the fact that the National Ginners Report showed a larger amount of the staple ainned up to December than was thought, and tho Government report following the next day, while showing a slight decrease in the figures was about the same as that of the National Association. The Asricul- fnral Bureau report Is expected to follow today. hence the quietness of the market the past few days.
 English markets seem to be waiting unttl the reports of the three departments may be thoroughly digested by the American markets before resuming their buying Some lime ago a strike In the English mills eaus- ss a sianp in the buying but immediately after thef settlement of the strike. ousinase picked up until English buying was almost normal. The quietness of the American market with the slight slump In prices gt this time has it's effect upon the English buyers and yesterday it was reported that onfy about half of the normal buying was reported from across the water.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Dec. s.---Ths diminishing volume of business and the narrowing range of the price fluctuations are ev- icenee ns or the growing professionalism tton of the same state of atfairs is the short duration of a price movement in one direction. The professionals move prices with difiiculty and are satisfied the usual mediums of active specula- tton, stocks of a large floating supply and fairly representative of general nnancial conditions and tendenSies bulk, are difficult to make responsive to artificial devices except by employ ment of the largest resources. In a less representative class of stocks, how ever, of small capitalization and cen. trolling business of more restricted scope, tbsra continue to be striking movements, often without any deyel- opments in explanation beyond the de- clsion of pooled holders of blocks of the stock to establish higher quota tions. The presentation of the Pres ident.s annual message to Congress be- ing the principal event of the day was seized upon for attempted use as a motive force for a price movement. Stocks were bid up on the assumption that the effect of the recommendations of the message would be favorable to
 The substance of the document was accurately known beforehand in many brokers offices Its effectiveness as stimulant to new operations in stocks proved to have been over-estimated, as shown by the decrease in activity of the dealings after it's appearance and the dropping tendency of prices The fact of its being the last annual message of an outgoing executive mitigated against its ef1 fectiveness as an instrument for spec ulative uses. Satisfaction was caused by the denunciation of the effort 10 the antitrust law. The recon1menda- tions to place telegraph and telephone companies under the 1urisdiction of the Interstae Commerce Commission com duced to the weakness in Western pressed, doubts over expressed reports of an intention to advance the divl- dend rate had an effect on that stock. This movement was in direct contrast to. other so-called Gould stocks. but which were classed for. market pur4 poses today with the Harrimans on the assumption of increased Harriman Influence in the group by reason of the financial aid extended. Harriman stocks were the sustaining feature of the market and Erie was included in the Gould group. An instance of the kind of assumptions of financial agree nnents on which stress was laid was the impression created by the an- nouneement of the National City Bank that It's successful bid for a block of Panama Canal bonds was on behalf of J. P. Morgan & Go. and the First Ma tional Bank as well as for itself

New York, Dec s.-The cotton market was weak and settled today. closing barely Eteady at net decline of six to ten points Sales were estimated at 200,O0e bales.
 The market opened steady at decline of four points to an advance of two points but only October was higher. and shortly after the opening, the entire list weakened under Wall Street liquidation and commits sion house selling which was probably promoted by the census report, although the amount ginnad to December l, was just about as expected by local professionals.
 The market showed decided resistance to bear pressure during the morning. but as liquidation continued with one Wall Street house credited with selling at least 25 900 bales during the middle session. prices gradually weakened. and toward the close stop loss orders were caught under which pressure prices were at the lowest point of the day or about 42 to so points under the high records of last month
 The census report showing 11.010.s6A bales ginned to December l, received var ious Interpretations in the local trade. but on the asrage tt seemed to encourage the expectations of a government crop estimate of around 1e. 100000 bales. Local statis- ticians say that if only as much cotton
