COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, December 1S-The cot
ton market opened steady today at an
advance OF . to , points in response to
relatively firm cables but quickly weak
ened under renewed liquidation or bear
pressure, which may have been inspired
by reports of an unfavorable financial
situation abroad and large returns of
lnters. According to the census report
published this $50 lis bales of linters
had been obtained up to December l,
this year. comp airing with 3J6,O74 bales
to January L. last season, and the
most general impression around the ring
appeared to be that this report indicated
almost as large an outturn of linters
this season as last. A fair demand was
encountered around 1850 for Marc. or
about points under the closing figures
Of last night however, and prices later
rallied a point or two from the lowest.

changed

afternoon with active months selling =

CHICAGO. December 1S.-Lower cables.
the result of bearish crop figures from
this country and of more favorable
weather in Argentina and India made
the wheat market today easy. Rain in
the southwestern part of the United
States winter crop belt tended also to
favor the bear side. Resting orders to
buy checked the decline. The opening
which was IL to "a lower. was followed
by slight reaction.
Fine weather, promising a heavy move
ment of the new crop, pulled down corn.
Demand was meager. Prices started the
same as last night to 1saA off and con-
tinued to sag.
Most of the oats crowd were inclined
to work on the bear side. The only buy
ing came through commission houses.
Provisions rose with hogs. First sales
varied from 2ls to 10 higher and later
there was an additional upturn.

Depression in Canadian Pa
cific and Abrupt Declines
Fail to Affect Prices.
TRADERS TAKE STOCK
ON LONG SIDE FREELY
Bearish Steel Statement Fruitless.
American Express Scores Lowest
Break in Thirty Years.

NEW. YORK, December 1s.-Canadian
Pacific showed acute weakness at the
opening today, dropping 4s4. Losses of
to Pig were recorded in Union Pacific
Atlantic Coast Line, American Telephone,
western Union and Bethlehem Steel pre-
ferred
The market in general, while influenced
by these abrupt declines. offered con-
siderable resistance, and losses in most
cases were held to small fractions.
Professionals who experimental on the
short side on the strength of the break
in Canadian Pacific to 2127s found they
were not making much headway and
covered. Their purchases caused COM
tRlete recovery in Union Pacific and
american Telephone, and pulled up other
sshares smartly.
90 Gradually Developed Strength.
Notwithstanding acute weakness of in
dividual stocks at the outset today the
market after opening slightly lower,
gradually developed strength.
Traders abandoned efforts to depress
prices and took on stock for a turn on
the long side, with the result that before
noon gains We're general. Reading New
Haven and New York Central rose a
point The depression in Canadian Pa
SliiC was largely TO selling here
ey Berlin. Paris and London, due larreiy
TO the collapse of Russian securities
abroad.
Steadiness of the market in the face of
Canadian Pacifc's slump, which amount
ed to Us points. indicated that the list
was speculatively sold out and the bear
position vulnerable.
Bearish statements OF a leading steel
manufacturer failed to influence the mar
ket for steel shares.
Bonds We're easy.
Prices Firm Throughout.
Dullness was the DISTINGUISHING feat
ure of the early afternoon market. Prices
were firm throughout, with sentiment ben
Gifted by independent upward movements
in several industrial stocks.
American Express broke 51s to %, the
lowest in nearly thirty years.
Extension OF the rise invited some
profit-taking. which was most effective in
Union Pacific, Amalgamated and New
Haven.
Weakness of Reading As. which vie ded
rs to 911s, attracted considerable atten-
lion. in view of the pronounced strength
