New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 5.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance of to 4 points on good cables and fa- yorable weather report. Immediately after the call prices were l to 5 points up and here very bearish reports were received concerning the dry goods market. Tel egrams from New York stated that large cotton goods houses were withdrawing their salesmen from the road when they found it impossible to place anything. This caused wave of selling and at the end of the first half hour of business prices were 2 to points under yester- days close.
 There was little short towering in evil dence during the morning, such as has been seen of late, and the market missed the support it has been deriving from this point. Buying for long account was light, probably the bulk of buying orders were for straddle account Moderate of ferings well scattered served to give the market a sagging tendency; dullness was also against prices. Sentiment concern ing the two pending bureau reports grew very bearish At noon prices of the most active months were [ to s points under yesterdays close.
 In the afternoon session the market stiffened on support which was generally supposed to come from large shorts. Off, ferings were light and gradually all the decline of the market was made up and an advance established At o'clock prices were to 9 points over yes- terday's close.

Cotton Prices Rally Later With Close Steady
 at Advance

New York. December 5.-Part of yester- days advance was lost during today $ earlier trading in the cotton market but prices rallied later on renewed covering and the close was very steady at d net advance of 2d5 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of points on October but generally un- changed to 1 point higher in sympathy with steady Liverpool cables and the larger English spot sales There was considerable foreign buying here but the market turned easier soon after the call and during the middle of the day sold off to net loss of to 9 points woing to q heavy southern offering, liquidation by some of yesterdays buyers for a turn and bear pressure. The latter seemed to be inspired by private reports of easier in- terior markets, advices, of that charac- ter being received from Memphis and several points in the belt but there was nothing in the reports from the southern to indicate any fresh weakness in the in- teror and the market here turned firmer during the afternoon support from trade souces, continued buying by houses with foreign connections and active cov- ering by early sellers. Prices just be- fore the close showed a. net gain of from to points but reacted 5 or points un- der realization Memphis cotton exchange estimate the crop at 15,125,0O0 bales on ;en average and the average of the estimates of the exchange of Memphis, Liverpool and New York is just little oyer 15,0o0, GOO bales.

DONE ON ] THE STOCK MARKET Only Languid Interest Dis played-Awaiting Taft's
 Message Is Cause

New York, December 5.-wall street dis played only languid interest in stocks today, professional operators who consti- ute the chief element in the market at present, spent the morning in waiting for the Presidents message. Only about so.- 000 shares were handled during the morn ing, and trading stopped entirely at fre- quent intervals. But when the message appeared the operators did nothing. As q market influence, the developments at the Wabash meeting were of greater eff feet than the presidential utterances. When news of the proposed reorganiza- ton reached the street Nhe only active movement of the day occurred. The Wa bash securities tumbled to the lowest prices of several years and the whole market weakened with them Trading was on a considerably larger scale in the afternoon but the market in general held fairly steady and losses at the close in most cases were only fractional.
 Taking its cue from the presidents s speeches recently on the trust question Wall street was prepared for a message of the general tenor of that which was sent to Congress today. The hesitation of the market prior to it's publication was perhaps dye to the chance that these ex- pectations might upset the market. The message was generally considered favor able from the standpoint of the business and financial interests.
 The Wabash securities, which were the strong features of the list last week and and in yesterdays early trading, on an- ticipation of favorable outcome of to- days meeting, showed the effect of heavy selling at the outset today, in anticipa- tion of the announcement which came sev- eral hours later. In the afternoon the pressure became more severe The com mon stock, 3ia@8ls the preferred 5s@17a, and the per cent bonds, 4lsa6. Before the close there was a partial recovery. The selling :reflected the uncertainty which is now felt as to the future of Wabash and disappointment at the fail ure of the plan which, had it been ac- eepted, would have strengthened the fi- nancial position of the road. The strategic position of this line is such that the flu. tnre disposition of this nroperty it was felt, might change the railroad map of the country
 Canadian Pacific became weak today, in the face that November report of gross earnings showed a gain of more than ST. W0 000. The pressure against this stock came largely from abroad. The coal roads also were weaker than the general mar ket Among industrials. American Can lost points. The stock has been strong recently on expectations of an extra pay ment.
 The bond market was heavy. Total sales par value. M,74o,oOo.
