WEEKLY REWEWOF
COTTON MARKET
Results of Weeks Trading
ing Is Advance of 9 to
"a Points

New Orleans. December Elm spite of
the heavy liquidation in cotton this week
prices closed at practically the top. The
demand from shorts for covers was the
main supporting influence toward the
end.
The net results of the weeks trading
We're an advance of to "a points The
high prices We're made on Saturday and
the low prices on Monday. except on
the January position, which went to its
lowest level on Friday. At the highest
the trading months were 12 to 25 points
over last weeks close at the lowest they
were 20 to % points under The range
was 50 to 45 points.
The Christmas holiday did not cause
as much dulness as expected In the
early part of the week longs sold out
freely but the market displayed recupera-
tive power and continually recovered
from recessions. The chief influence
against the efforts of bulls to bring about
permanent rise was the first notice
day for January In this market This
was Friday and while notices were not
as plentiful as expected, only 1900 bales
being circulated. they resulted in driv-
ing out a considerable number of holders
of long cotton.
On the weekend shorts were good buy
ers, absorbing all offerings and putting
prices on themselves. This led to the
claim from the bull side that the mar
ket was badly oversold, as we'll as sold
out of its long interest
In the spot department prices lost five
sixteenths of cent, mlddling closing Mt
IL ll-l6c, against BE last week and 127s9
this week last year. Sales on the spot
amounted to 1851 bales, against 1915 last
week and 2512 this week last year. Sales
to arrive amounted to 5247 bales, against
son last week and 1870 this week last
year.

VIGOROUS DEMAND
NOT IN EVIDENCE
Technical Position of Trade
Weakened by Shorts
Covering

New York. December 27.-Speeila-
tive activity diminished to marked
extent today and there was no sign of
the vigorous demand which character
lied the advance of the last week in
1t was evident that extensive short
covering on the rise had temporarily
weakened the technical position of the
trade. The market eased off under this
selling but the undertone was good and
except in a few cases losses were filled
in and restricted to amounts small
Resumption of trading in London
after the holidays had little Influence
on the stock market. Canadian Pa
cities decline was due largely to for
eign selling. The price dropped to
207as, the lowest figuhe of the year.
1t was a loss reflected of nearly 60
points from the high price of 1913.
London also sold some Union Pacific
and United States Steel, but its offer
ings were not heavy.
Aside from the decline In Canadian
Pacific the. only substantial recessions
among the representative stocks were
IN the coalers.
New Haven was unusually prominent
in the dealings by reason of its
strength. Ae
At one time It sold nearly points
above yesterdays close.
The advance was attributed primar-
lily to reports that a settlement was
near at hand in regard to differences
between the company and the govern
ment.
Approach of the year-end with its
heavy requirements for interest and
dividend payments was reflected in the
bank statement
Forecasts We're far from the mark a s
the statement disclosed an actual cash
loss of nearly $4,000. An increase In
loans amounted to $11,719.000 and there
was a decrease in surplus of over
$4,000, 900. ..
