 Corn was weak nearly all day owing to free selling by leading cash inter. sstA The slump in wheat and a de- cline of 1-2 to 1c In the price of the cash grain were the principal depress- ing influences.

But. spying him, Tom fell upon him and kicked with one of the long. spider like legs. and Pete gained twenty feet in distance from the tmprornptu assistance.

SELMA COTTON MARKET.
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec 10-The cotton market more than lost yesterdays gain during to- days trading. closing barely steady at q net decline of is to 2i points.
 The market opened barely steady at q decline of three to seven points with the active months selling five to eight points net lower right after the call in response to disappointing cables and q growing impress sion that the trade was not creditine ths government estimate of the crop,
 A rally Of three to four points followed the initial break as a result of covering and buying for a turn, but offerings became heavier again in the afternoon with stop loss orders uncovered on a scale down and prices broke to just about the low level Advices from the South indicating that interior holders were not influenced by the government estimate. but were offering cot- ton freely on practically the same basis as yesterday were undoubtedly one Of the factors in the decline.
 The market closed at practically the low est prices of the day Larger estimates for tomorrow's receipts at leading points were used to emphasize claims that the line with the movement and private ca- bles from Liverpool stated that the official figures would have to be confirmed by fu- ture census and into sight figures before they inspired much confidence abroad Commission houses were god buyers of the late months on the decline.
 Receipts at the ports today 59,37S bales, against 67,574 last week and 57,207 last year. For the week 425, 900 bales, against

MARKET IS NORMAL
BIC CROP REPORTS CONTINUE COMING
Only Sixty Per Cent. of Crop Esai1nfsted Sold, Though Some of Remainder May Pass to Market Ere
 Long.

Government reports of a crop of cotton of over Ia, 900. 900 bales have hit the farmers another hard blow. It was hoped soma time ago, judging from the bearish reports from everywhere. that the crop was unu- sually short and the price for what there was of 1t would be good. But from every authoritative source reports of big crop are made and the cotton that has been held long in the hope of a bearish mar ket will be stiii kept by those who can afford 1t, but others may have to let go.
 Of the crop at least sixty percentum has been sold, the rest is damned into the warehouses in the cotton centers. hoping for a purchaser. It was said that the Presidential election would see the price go up, but 1t didn't stir the quotations much. And now when it is a recognized fact that the crop is normal, and more. the future market that has been cratic for months has taken a strong downward turn Thurs day it dropped fifteen points from the top number of the day. closing at s.60.
 Spots are still quoted at about s6c and this price is either demanding sales from the less hopeful or the cotton owners are being pushed by their creditors. for in spite of the almost absolute lack of a foreign de- anand, local sales are going on.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans Dec. I0.-Spot cotton easy unchanged. MiddlIng 13-I6c. Sales on the spot I,300 bales; to arrive 1,050.
 Futures opened steady at decline of five to seven points owing to the poor response made by Liverpool to the advance on this side yesterday afternoon. At the middle o fthe morning the market steadied up on buying for outside interests and prices re- covered to within one to two points of yesterdays closing.
 Selling pressure was renewed at this point the leading bear interests evidently plan ming 10 dislodge tn eweaker longs still in the market. The market gradually declin- ed during the remainder of the session un- til near the closing the active options were practically dollar a bale lower than yes terday's last prices. The close was steady with prices showing a net decline of lsa19 points.
