COTTON MARKET IS
Dull AND NARROW
Prices Gradually Sag Under
Dullness and Lack of
Fresh Buying

New Orleans December 1.-THE cotton
market was dull and narrow today and
the inactivity, together with the gossip,
made it plain how important tomorrow's
estimate of the crop by the government
is held. There was smore guessing on
the exchange over the coming figures than
ever known before and so many figures
We're received that no attempt was made
to arrive at their average, which, how
ever, was probably under 13, 10000 bales.
The market opened quiet and steady, 1
point up to l point down. compared with
the last prices of yesterday. Gables were
not as good as due and the weather over
the belt continued favorable. In the morn
ing trades prices of the most active
months went 2 to points over yester-
days close. This was the highest of the
day. The market gradually sagged un-
der the duliness and lack of fresh buy
ing and in the afternoon the trading
months were to points under yester-
days last quotations. The close was at
a net loss of l to points.
rumor was spread about during the
day that organized bear selling would be
seen Immediately after the government
estimate no matter what the figures
were. This had the effect of soaring out
considerable long cotton. Bears made
little attempt to follow up their advan-
tage and bulls offered the market no ag-
gressive support at any time.

t OK MARKET HAS
FAIRLY GOOD DAY
eN Haven's Extreme De-
cIl le-67 3-S Lowest
Price on Record

New York; December 11.-Despite the
fact that the suspension of the New
Haven dividend had not been generally
looked for, it was the opinion of traders
on every hand that that stock and the
market as a whole made fairly good
showing today.
New Haven's extreme decline was 5as
points to 67ss, the lowest price on record.
1t closed at eSs. Reiegation to the nom
dividend class of a stock for many years
a prime favorite of investors put the
market to a severe test. The blow was
softened by the fact that dislodgment of
New Haven from it's former high position
had been in progress long time.
1t was a foregone conclusion that divi-
dends would not be continued on the 6
per cent basis. but the most common pre-
diction by well known houses was that
payments would go on at lower rate.
The stock trade. therefore, was called
upon to absorb heavy sales of New Haven
from disappointed investors Large SELL
ing orders came in from out of town. par
tioularly from New England. Effects of
these offerings was inimicably heightened
by short selling. Dealings in New Haven
in the forenoon was heavier than in any
of the speculative favorites. At the lower
quotations it met with support and after
the largest volume of orders had been
absorbed the price rallied slowly.
Elsewhere the trade held other unfav-
orable influences with which to contend.
Telephone and telegraph stocks were
heavy, owing presumably to the observ-
ance of Washington reports that Presi-
dent Wilson was considering government
ownership of telegraph lines. Pennsyl-
vania was sold on the theory that being a
large retainer of New Haven stock it
would suffer loss of income through
suspension of the dividend payment
American Telephone and Pennsylvania
sold at the lowest points touched for a
number of years In various other places
there were signs of realizing. There vas
selling here on direct orders from London.
Paris and Berlin, although the volume of
offerings for the foreign account was not
voluminous.
In the afternoon trading was quiete- and
partial recoveries were effected
