TRADING CONTINUES
QUIET IN COTTON
UnfavOrable LiverpoolNews
and Labor Troubles at
Fall River Felt

New York. December 2.-Today's cotton
market appeared to be fluetuating be-
tween the influence of bullish crop esti-
mates and reports of very full ginning
returns for the last half of November,
but neither of these factors seemed to
inspire any material volume of fresh
business, as trading remained compare
lively quiet with much of 1t believed to
be In the way of switching between
months. Unfavorable trade advices from
Liverpool and increased apprehensions
of labor troubles in Fall River may have
contributed somewhat to reactions from
the early high level. but closing prices
were steady and showed a net gain OF
from 8 to points for the day.
Larger English spot sales and a private
crop report estimating the commercial
crop yield at 14,135,000 bales appeared to
be chiefly responsible for the early ad-
vance. First prices were I to 8 points
higher, and the market showed a net
gain of from 10 to IA points at the high
level of the morning, on covering and
scattered buying from Wall street and
various sources. The demand, however,
was not aggressive enough to follow the
market up in any great volume, ana IN
crea sed offerings We're encountered around
1325s for March.
Reports that a prominent Memphis sta
tistician estimated ginning to December
l. at 12,016,0O0 bales were followed by
rumors that another well known south
ern bureau placed it at 120SS,OO0 bales
1t was pointed out that such figures
from the census bureau next Monday
would indicate the largest ginning for
the last half of November on record,
and the fun private returns probably ac-
counted for considerable scattered selling,
but offerings slackened on a break to
within points of last nights final
figures. Later trading was very qulet
and the market closed~at practically the
lowest points of the day.

DAMAGE FROM BUGS.
BRINGS ABOUT BULGE.
Wheat Closes Weak at Gain
of 1-S@1-4c Net-Black-
rust in Argentine

Chicago, December 2.-The blaclIrust
blight in Argentine and green bugs in
Texas brought about bulge today In
the wheat trade. Only a part of the
effect however, was enduring, the close
being weak at an enhancement of Is q
4 net. Corn finished unchanged to y c
higher, and OTIS the same as yesterday
to 1a@ssc up. but provisions were off
5@71sc to 271ac.
One of the largest houses in the
wheat trade had direct cables telling
of general spread of blacFrust in the
central sections of Argentine, Damage
from green bugs in Texas was declared
to be manifesting itself in some of the
largest producing counties. Besides
there were increasing complaints of
Hessian fly in Illinois, Michigan and
Ohio.
Despite bearish reactions, especially
one shortly after the opening and an
other Just before the close, prices at
noon time went under last nights quo
tations Export sales had a sustaining
influence and so also did a tightening
on the holdings of soft winter grades
in all winter crop centers. In addition
crop adVices from India were adverse
receipts northwest of here were eXcep-
tionally small and the worlds availa-
BILE supply showed substantial de-
crease.
Soft weather, delaying receipts, tend
ed to lift corn. Advancing figures at
Missouri river points and Liverpool
aided the bulls. Profit taking by longs
served to restrict the advance. Ele-
vator interests We're after oats. The
method pursued, the buying of Decem-
ber and selling of May was not though
of a distributing nature. Warehouse
stocks of provisions proved larger than
expected and a break in hog prices also
acted as a weight on the trade. Cow
ering by shorts resulted in only slight
rally.

MERCHANTS EXPECT
BIG HOLIDAY TRADE
Wholesale Market Is De.
pressed at Present by the
Unreasonable Weather

Norris avenue trade continues to be
fair. The rains of oMnday night helped
the demand considerable The merchants
assert that the outlook for Christmas
trading could hardly be better and antici-
pate recording smashing sales during the
holiday week.
The price on hens is rather weak and
the market is we'll supplied with poultry.
The remand is none too brisk, but it is
thought It will get better within the week.
Eggs continue to sell and. indeed, some
dealers are hard put to fill the orders
There seems to be no likelihood of an
advance In the price of eggs in the very
near future.
Fish are only moderately in demand and
the market is weak. The supply is very
good, but the unreasonable weather
makes for slack demand. 1t is thought
that If the weather undergoes a change
soon the demand Will strengthen.

COTTON AGAIN DULL
BUT STEADYTUESDAY
Moderate Advance on Small
Volume of Fresh Buying
for Long Account

New Orleans, December 2-Cotton was
aealn dull but steady today. Prices ad-
Vanced moderately on a small volume OF
lresh buying for long account. Shorts
oought covers at times, but the demand
from this source was not as strong as n
mas been. Offerings were slender and
came chiefly from recent buyers who were
satisfied to take profits.
AT the opening the tone was steady and
prices were to 10 points I'D on pood
cables, an unfavorable weather man a
large spot business abroad and small
crop estimates from prominent private bu-
reaus. Soo-, after the opening the mar
ket became very dull, but the advance
was we'll maintained At the highest
prices We're IA to 15 points over yester-
day final quotations. Toward noon nrofit
taking sales from the long side weighed
against the market somewhat and nrices
fell off until they were only to points
up. In the afternoon selling decrease
and prices worked somewhat higher. The
close was steady at net gain for the
day of to 10 points.
Ihe weather map and private reports in
dicated considerable rain in the belt over
night. Fear of its effect on picking and
the grade of cotton still in the fields
caused some little buying.

STRIKING DEGREE OF
STRENGTH SHOWN
Substantial Rise in Stocks.
Boston Buys Largely
of Steel

New York, December 2.--In the first
hour of today,s stock market more busi-
ness was done than during yesterdays
entire session. All during the forenoon
the market, led by the coalers, displayed
a striking degree of strength and activity
such as. has not been seen often recently.
Some of the favorite shares were pur-
chased in large blocks and there was
a substantial rise in prices. In the aft
ernoon trading became quiet and gains
were scaled down. The technical position
of the market was favorable to a rise
and traders worked more confidently to-
day on the long side. The success OF
their efforts drove the shorts to cover
and brought in some outside purchases.
Boston houses bought largely of Steel
and Amalgamated Copper on the breaks.
A number of traders regarded the fast
movement as purely speculative and the
manner in which the demand fell off in
the afternoon supported this hypothesis.
There was no important change in con-
ditions to explain increased activity on
the long side. Additional railroad re-
ports for October were received showing
decreases In earnings. The November
record of business failures disclosed an
increase in number and liabilities This
market was called upon to absorb mod
crate offerings for London's needs.
The presidential message to Congress
was read after the vigorous upward move
ment of the day had come to an end
automatically Little response was made
TO 1T by the trade, although the tendency
thereafter was steadily lower. Wall street
interest in the document as a market
factor was lessened by the fact that dis
cussion of the trust question was re-
served for another time
Bonds were steady: total sales, par
value, s1,521,oo0 United States bonds were
unchanged on call
