COTTON NERVOUS
AND UNSETTLED
Prices Sent Downward Fol-
lowing Continued Talk
of Large Returns

New York, December 1.-THE cotton
market was again very nervous and un-
settled. Continued talk of large ginning
returns and reports that spinners were
showing very little interest in the MAJ
ter of fresh purchases, seemed largely re-
sponsible for a renewal of general liqui-
dation, or bear pressure, which sent
prices into new low ground for the move
ment.
Later, however there was a good deal
of covering, while there was also some
talk of buying against spinners' calling,
and prices rallied some or 10 points from
the lowest with the close steady at net
decline of to points. January contracts
sold at 1224c on the midday break, or just
about rs points under the high price
reached shortly after the publication of
the governments crop estimate last Fri
day and approximately IS per bale under
the high level of the season.
Relatively steady cables and reports
that there had been very little hedge SELL
ing in Liverpool encouraged a renewal Of
yesterdays covering movement during the
early trading. There may also have beer
some buying on over night reports eff
steady interior spot markets and private
cables claiming better business in Man
chester, and after opening steady at an
advance of l to points, the market sold
about 6 to s points net higher.
This reflected a rally of 16 to Is points
from the low level of Tuesday morning.
which appeared sufficient to bring out IN
creased offerings from bearish sources,
while after the close of Liverpool had
shut out straddle buying, the support was
less active. The market weakened conse-
quently and the selling became more gen
eral and aggressive as prices worked
lower. Stop orders were uncovered On
a scale down, particularly just under the
low point reached on yesterdays break
and before the decline was checked ac-
tive months were selling IA to 19 points net
lower.
Reports that southern holders were NOT
following the decline in futures and a
feeling that the technical position of the
market had been weakened by the heavy
liquidation noted since the opening last
Saturday, then seemed to inspire an in
creased demand from recent sellers, while
there was also a little buying from trade
sources and some trading for reaction.

WHEAT PRICES EASE
OFF WEDNESDAY
Close Steady at Same as
Last Figures to 1-Sc to
1-4c Decline

Chicago. December 17-Because the acre
estimate in the government report todav
turned out to be more nutty than ex-
pected in the kernel. prices of wheat eased
off, though not nearly as much as the
adVices appeared to suggest. The close
was steady at the same as last figures
of yesterday to 1s@Ac decline Corn made
a net gain of lsqssc: oats finished un-
changed to 1-16c up and provisions up =.
shade to TIC improved
Previous to the announcement of the
government figures the wheat market
seemed inclined to favor the bull side
Reasons for the firmness comprised higher
cable quotations, continued light receipts
northwest, and fear of a crop scare in
the winter wheat region.
Wet weather emphasized the complaints
OF rank growth in many fall sown fields.
Good judges said the bearish showing of
the government report would have had
much greater effect but for the excessive
development of the wheat plant during
the abnormally mild weather last month
had its effect
The usual chance of serious damage
In case of a sudden hard freeze tended TO
make SPECTATORS wary, They averted a
pfobable determined attack by shorts
Corn displayed strength from the start
Shorts were uneasy over rough weather
and by the falling off of offers from In
terror dealers. especially in Iowa and Ilu
nols. Although business in oats proved
light. the trade was steadied by the corr
bulge brought out.
Persistent buying of ribs lifted the pro-
visions trade Notwithstanding that re-
ceipts of hogs We're considered to be above
current needs. The purchasing of ribs
was credlted In the main to a leading
packer.

a relapse in American Telephone and
signs of returning heaviness in New
Haven had an adverse influence, halt
ing the upturn.
Dealings were less sensitive to the
action of these shares than during
their recent severe slump but traders
were reluctant TO bid up prices, fearing
that a higher level might be utilized
for renewed liquidation now.
Selling of this character seemed to
have been completed entirely and there
We're no signs of severe putting on of
pressure at any point American Tele-

Bulge After Opening Fol-
lowed By Sharp Break
Featured Price Changes

New Orleans, December ia bulge
shortly after the opening, followed by a
sharp break featured price changes in the
cotton market today. In the early hours
the market had very good tone and
bulls displayed considerable confidence in
their ability to bring about a reaction from
the decline. Gossip of the market said
that it was oversold and sold out but
after the close of the Liverpool market
more cotton was offered than the ring
could absorb and break resulted
Liverpool stood better than due when
the American markets opened, and sent
over large volume of buying orders. As
long as this buying lasted prices were well
maintained, but when it ceased the market
fell off. Private cable messages from
England stated that Manchester business
was improving.
The market opened steady at an advance
OF to 6 points on the good cables and
reports or heavy rains in the western belt
over night Shorts were inclined to buy
covers in the early trading. and this was
decided help to the market At the
highest the trading months were 10 to IL
points up. At this level selling orders in
creased suddenly, and the market did not
cease declining until 1t was 20 to "a points
under the highest levels of the morning.
This break put the trading months 10 to
IL points under yesterdays last quota
tions In the afternoon the market was
dull, but it did better on a quiet demand
from shorts who wanted their profits The
close was steady at net gain for the
day of ] to s points.
