SPOT MARKETS STEADIEh

New York, December 19-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 2Q4 points and sold 5q9 points net high CT during the early session on continued covering for over the census report due on Monday morning, steady Liverpool cables. reports of better trade outlook on the continent, talk of steadier spot markets in the south and bullish week end figures. Realizing by recent buyers checked the advance around S.5S for Jan uary and SIS for May, but the undertone was steady.
 Ever since the new crop began to move the interior has sold freely for export on through bills of lading. Port supply Eaer- chants feared the basis and kept hands off. In this way a larger proportion of the crop has thus far passed out of the country on terms directly dictated by the consumer than has ever before been the case during similar period. The spin ners have not been consuming cotton as rapidly as they have been buying 1t and since in the entire scheme of present day cotton market affairs there is nothing ahead really dangerous from @ spinner 8 point of view the fact that he has bought much cotton while consuming little Is significant in the extreme.
 It does not follow that the accumulation of reserve stocks Is being effected under a spinner's compact, but 1t does follow that such accumulations secured rapidly at prices very near the cost of production will in the end, and in the continued ab- sence of protective speculative buying, nd southern seller of actual cotton never contemplated by the designers of the modern free market system.
 The near future is most doubtful equation. Forward selling at one time was on the big scale and some of these commitments remain to be filled. But the environment under which such bus mess nus been carried on this season has hurt rather than helped the producer and his alllas, whereas in former seasons forward selling by supply merchants has been tha bulwark of the farmers s@fety.
 Of course there Is logic In the belief that ultimately values must advance and that some of these days somebody will make money on the Hong n1e of the market It Is this belief that checks the seller of contracts and encourages the buyer of contracts, but the latter cannot shaks off the spell that holds him and thus far has not been In position to over come the handicaps that beset him. Thus circumscribed, the market is a waiting affair, and in the absence of spot market support may and doubtlessly will decline further.
 The market closed barely steady with prices net 2@6 points higher

London Stock Market.

London, December 1s.-For the first tine in many weeks trading on the stock ex- change has been free of adverse foreign political news, nevertheless, business has been confined principally to the recep- tion of dealings in attractive new issues which. in the case of the Sac Paulo and south Manchurian loans, were largely over-subscribed and quickly reached a premium These issues distracted atten- tion from the standard securities In wnion business was barely sufficient to maintain values. Consols dropped 1s on the week and home rails continued depressed.
 American securities kept fairly steady till the Wall street selling movement on Thursday started a reaction; then the gold shipments and the talk in the United States of tariff revision, together with rumors of a rate war, induced continental offerings which did not find ready buy CTS and today, with the prospect of a poor bank statement in New York, the market finished easy with the active issues about 2 points lower than last Saturday.
