COTTON IS QUIET
WITH PRICES LOWER
With No Important Buying
Prices Quickly Weakened
Under Realizing

New York, December 3-The cotton
market was quiet again today with prices
lower under scattered selling and the
points. Judging from the talk around
the ring sellers seemed to be as much
influenced by a pessimistie view of gem
eral trade conditions as by any fresh de-
velopment with reference to the supply or
spot situation, while the failure of small
crop figures to inspire any broadening
outside demand also seemed to encourage
bearish sentiment.
Relatively steady cables and a continued
large spot demand in Liverpool were fol-
lowed by an opening advance of from /
to 8 points, but there was no important
buying and prices quickly weakened un-
der realizing or liquidation by some of
the brokers who had supported the mar
ket on yesterdays rally. Reports that q
southern crop authority had estimated
the Texas crop at 4,66S 600 bales after a
trip through that state, probably helped
the decline, which carried prices about
to points net lower. There was a
fair demand around and just under 1910
for March, however, and rumors that a
prominent stastical bureau estimated the
total yield at 13,6C0,000 bales caused a
rdally of 4 to points from the lowest.
This report seemed in line with more
bullish expectations as to the probable
showing of the, governments estimate
next week, but failed to inspire any ag-
gressive bull support and subsequent
fluctations more or less irregular. Clos
ing prices We're within or points of
the lowest.
Private cables reported quiet market
in Liverpool, with prices steadied by a
continued good spot demand. The Liver
pool spot sales yesterday amounted to
1900 bales and this morning there was
a further business of 12,000 bales. Pr-
vate wires from Savannah reported bet
ter spot demand in that market. but ad-
vices We're received here from Memphis
during the afternoon which claimed that
business had been done there at con-
cessions.
Apprehensions of a strike in Fall River
and reports of depression in the steel
industry We're among the factors discussed
in connection with the trade outlook,
while considerable attention was also at
tracted by rumors of quiet trade in
local retail circles.

COTTON MARKET IS
DULL AND NARROW
Moderate Offerings From
Short Side Serve to Hold
Prices Down

New Orleans. December 3.-The cotton
market was dull and narrow today. The
tone was not as steady as it has been
of late, owing chiefly to the attention paid
tn a large crop estimate from Texas. Bulls
were not as willing to offer support as
they have been recently, and moderate
offerings from the short side served to
hold prices down and bring about small
net decline.
On the opening the tone was steady and
prices were to 3 points up. Cables were
not quite as high as due but unfavor-
able weather over the belt and a small
accumulation of buying orders over night
served to put up prices for a small ad-
vance on the first call. Initial prices were
about the highest of the day. kilograms
from Texas stated that an expert who
has been travelling that state was out with
a final crop estimate of the Texas yield
of 4,66s, 600 bales. not including linters.
This stimulated selling under which the
market gave way. Around the middle of
the day the trading months were s to 8
points under yesterdays close. In the
afternoon scalping shorts took profits and
a partial recovery resulted. but the mar
ket closed steady at net decline for the
day of to points.
Some bullish comment was caused by a
crop estimate of 13,60O,0O0 bales, not in
cluding linters. from a private bureau.
Not much buying followed, however, as
the effect of the figures was lost in the
large Texas estimate.

PRICES MOVE Up
IN THE FINAL HOUR
Market on Dead Level in
Early HOurs-Tw0 Points
Gain in Some Cases

! New York, December BIN the last hour
OF today's stock market trading became
animated and prices moved up vigorously.
Prior to that time the market was virtu-
ally on a dead level, with business cut
down to low point The undertone was
firm throughout. Final quotations for the
representative shares showed gains of 2
points in some instances. Short cover
ing apparently was the main factor.
In the events of the day that bore upon
affairs of Wall street the stock market
ignored. The market has been giving no
heed recently to the steady outpourng of
nnfavorabe reports concerning indus
trials and financial conditions, probably
because their influence had been dis
counted. Today traders learned of fur
ther reductions in working forces by rail-
reads and industrial corporations. Some
Of the southern roads made good reports

the French ministerial crisis, which made

French government loan, to the outcome
of which great Importance is attached in

the winter crop in Texas and Oklahoma

Other leading staples also showed a net
gain, corn 1-16MJac to &c, oats IsdAe to

Too much confidence misguided the
bears at the outset. Argentine weather
had improved, havoc southwest of here
was denied and Australian reports told
of liberal crop and free offers to Eu-
rope. After a substantial break in prices
had been effected, lively buying set in,
owing mainly to assertions that the Hes
sian fly, which has recently been the sub
ject of complaint in Ohio, Michigan and
Illinois, was killing the plant in western
Missouri In addition dispatches from
Oklahoma, Texas and southwest Missouri
declared that the crop had made such an
approach to jointing that perils from any
freeze were materially increased.

Holders of corn profited by a general

temporary dip in prices.
Excellent shipping demand helped oats
upward. 1t was estimated 100000 bushels

Demand from grain dealers and stock
yard interests overcame early weakness
