NEW ORLEANS, Dec: Liverpool is
not very encouraging right now. Futures

ners disposed to buy only for daily re-
quirements. believing in lower prices"
The feeling in our market, however,
whether voluntary or educated, seems
quite bulish The first trades here were
at an advance of 4 to points and there
was general buying, rejecting the view
that a large census regarded as dis
counted and people are preparing for the
expected small government estimate next
Thursday.
Memphis reported the average guess of
that exchange as 13,986.00 commercial
crop. The continued weakness Of the
stock market is said to cause hesitation
in some New York circles. Political ar
ticles in press credit the coming admin
istration with designs of a drastic tariff
revision, and the foremost financial or
gan prints the following on the conh
mental situation: THE financial situa-
ton in Italy, Austria, Russia and even
Germany is rather bad"
The market held very steady through
