New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. December 1s.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady and unchanged to ? points down compared with Saturdays close. Cables were not up to expectations. Scalpers were inclined to go short around the opening.
 The weather map was better than that of Saturday, and there were no signs of agHressiveness from the long side. Com mission houses had few buying orders. In the trading around the call prices of the most active months were l point up. This was followed, however, by a sag that at the end of the first half hour of business put prices 2 to 1 points under Saturdays final quotations.
 Buying on a large scale started on the decline, and the gossip of the session was in effect that 1t about equally di- vided between the two accounts.
 It was said that bears who led in the selling some time ago were again talk ing the short sde but offerings from this source were not large enough to hold prices down. It was said that recent con-

PRICES MOVE IN
 UNCERTAIN WAY UndertOne Heavy-Trading Lively At Opening-Steel
 Closes a Point Off

New York, December 1s.-Prlces moved in a hesitating, uncertain way today on the stock exchange The nn- dertone was heavy and toward the end of the day the drift became more de- cidedly downward so that at the close losses of a point or so were frequent There was evidence throughout the session of considerable pressure on some of the speculative fayorltes Whlen perhaps registered the conclusion or professional traders that the advance had gone far enough to justify ex- pectations of a reaction.
 The movement seemed to be no re- lation to outside influences which on the whole, were favorable. The sim- provement of the banks position as shown by the weekly clearing house report and the huge gain in foreign trade revealed in the figures for the year were developments over the end of the week on which bull traders re- lied for some improvement, but no re- sponse was made to these influences
 Trading was lively at the opening It was apparent that stocks were be- ing sold as fast as the market could absorb them and traders on the long side were able to do little. A few 1s- sues, Including Lehigh Valley, the Fries and some of the copper stocks showed a fair degree of strength but yielded later under a steady supply Isehigh Valley was the exception 1t rose to 1S4h, the highest price in sep- eral months, on continuation of the in, The only explanation offered for tho strength of this stock was the relt- erated report that the management would soon outline plans for segre- gating the company s coal lands from the railroad property. United States Steel displayed none of it's recent strength. It moved with the other in dustrials and closed a point off. Steel manufacturers reported that there had been no falling off in incoming bus mess and it was expected that the de- mand for rails would shortly become more active.
 A large speculative interest was at tached to the trading in Union Pa cific which has sold for several days. The stock was under pressure through out the day. Its heaviness acted as drag on the market and was infiu- ential in depressing prices at the close. There were several movements of con- siderable size along the specialties. un- derwood Typewriter showed pronounced weakness and declined more than 6 points on the curb" United Cigars broke 23 points.
 The fortnightly appearance of the European supply of copper were more favorable, than had been expected. While a shrinkage in the. supply had been looked for 1t was thought that inc change would be comparatively small, owing to the heavy shipments from this country during the past three weeks The decrease of nearly $500. 900 pounds bore out recent reports of l,etter trade conditions in England and Germany.
 Inflow of cash from the interior cities continued and there was an easier tone in the time money market Banks are

Ottumwa had religious census
taken yesterday and nearly every

of the visitors, as such were styled

gan working yesterday morning, while
others spent the afternoon in going
over their respective districts. The

with one in charge of several visitors,
and these gathered the information
sought
At few houses no one was found
at home. 1t is desired therefore that
another visit be made so that the re.
turns may be made as complete as
possible. The ward chairmen are re-
Quested to make every effort possible
to see that card is made out for all
such. At some boarding houses in
formation was not secured in regard
