there has been a striking change In
sentiment among prominent members

Advices from Chicago and other CEN
tres indicate tlet many large opera

serted the bear ranks and gone DER
TO the bull side. although thus iaf

rarily at the beginning of the week
an insignificant decline took place IN
domestic wheat markets, but almost
Immediately thereafter the offerings
became smaller. and with demand mod
erately brisk firmer feeling was de-
veloped There was a decided ch@nse
in sentiment. The lack of confidence.
which has been a conspicuous feature
for so many weeks, was no longer IN
evidence. and advices from the West
indicated that prominent interests
that for a long time had been arrayed
on the bear side were no longer ma =
noevring for a decline. lt seems eVi-
dent that prices have at last reached
bedrock. This opinion Is bSsed On
The theory that all or nearly all NEEDY
farmers have marketed the bulk or
t1eir surplus. while well-to-do farm
ers are unwilling TO accept current
bids.
Movement TO Primary Markets
II j felt that the movement TO pri-

partly attributed to an unexpected IN

New York. December 22.-The bull
ish activity forced by the cltques with
notions of 14-cent cotton after New
Years, and predictions as high as 10
cents before the maturity Of the March
or May contracts, advanced prices
slightly this week, but efforts to ad-
vance prices over the 13-cent Level
failed. chiefly owing to the falling OH
in the spot demand, and lack OF re-
Spouse from outside or local specula-
tive buyers of contracts. The tendency
of the market became reactionary In
the middle of the week, with mixed
trading. eliminating in a sharp break
on rather general reselling, immedl-
ately after the publication of the
Census Bureaus ginning report yester-
day The market then broke twenty
points, carrying all the active trading
months from January deliveries down

cent cotton compares with 10 Il just

a speculative purchase, and a great
!nducement for the worlds spinners
to stock up with supplies, not only for
actual consumption, but for surplus
stocks. But ever since the price got
up TO 10 IL cents. careful observers
have noted disposition to regard IL
cents as high.
In the actual spot trade II is be-
lieved to discount all the recent BULL

speculative element, and as point
of which liquidation of investment and
speculative accounts has been deemed
advisable This tendency to secure
profits on the part of the bull leaders

tinuing to all intents and purposes as

innate of December 3. making the TO-
tai yield I3.S2O.000 bales the equival-
ent of IA, zee, 900 bales with linters) fot
the total commercial crop at the emo
of the season. This together with
the dull and easier Southern spot
markets and the public refusing 10
bay cotton contracts at Is cents foI
either investment or speculation, has
made the load of the bull cliques toe
heavy lately for the continuance OF
healthy trading market conditions
The continuation OF liquidation with
a further break TO the l2-cent lever
would, however, make the market suf-
ficiently attractive again for renewed
buying. not only by spinning inter
ests, but by the Wall Street ano
Southern speculative element, who
know something about cotton.
The Census Ginning Figures.
The Census Bureaus ginning report
of yesterday practically confirms the
governments recent crop estimate IL
shows 57O,312 bales were ginned from
the last period to December l up 10
December IS. despite the fact that
there was some very bad weather dur
ing that period. Some OF the New
Orleans. Memphis and local bulls hau
expected no more than 100000 bales
against $4,000 ginned during the cor
responding period in the big crop OF
last year. and sos, 900 in 1910 ana
4Sl. 900 in 1909. and $4,000 in 1908.
The total amount ginned to Deem
be-. 10 is officially stated as l2.424'-
S53 bales, which is regarded by con-
sentative trade authorities as repre-
senting the equivalent of about 80 per
cept Of the total crOp.
On that basis. the total yield wouln
be 1855. 900 baSss without linters'
and about 14.205,000 by the addition
of about 100000 for linters in the to-
tai commercial crop movement. That
would compare with last years rec
ord crop of over 100000 bales com
mercial crop, as against 12,12O.oOO IN
1910, 10,600,o0o In the worst crop fall-
ure for many years, in the season OF
1909 and as contrasted with 1886,
600 bales in 1908, which was the pre-
vicus largest crop before last years
record breaking production. close
study of the ginning report In detali
by States, as contracted with the gov
ernments crop estimate BY states
shows that the yield in Alabama ana
Georgia, as well as the two Caro-
linas. was greatly underestimate by
the government But. on the other
hand. the governments estimate OF
4. $50. 900 bales for Texas now looks
like an oyerestimate by probably 700
00o bales. This. however. VIII be
