MARKET SELLS INTO
NEW LOW GROUND
Offerings Well Absorbed
Around 12.76c for
January

New York, December S.-The cotton
market sold into new low ground for
the movement during todays early trad
ing under liquidation. which followed the
census report showing 12.oS1, 100 bales
ginned to December 1. this year. against
11,S54,541 bales last gear and 12s16.SO7
bales two years ago.
The report was only a shade above ex-
pectations, based on recent private re-
turns, but the amount of cotton ginned
in the western belt seemed rather hsav-
ier than could be easily reconciled with
some of the smaller estimates of the crop
and for a short time there was active
! selling by Wall street and commission
house longs.
The offerings were pretty we'll absorbed

Notwithstanding the considerable vol

lowed the ginning figures. the talk around
the ring reflected no material change OF
sentiment as to the probable showing OF
the governments crop estimate next Fri
day. and small crop estimates were prob.
ably encouraged by further numerous re-
ports that picking and ginning had beer
practically completed, particularly in the

Increased view of the western belt yield
consequently seemed to be offset by some
modification of opinion as to the eastern

eggs now is 3S cents, with some selling
at 421a cents. Hens are in fair demand

ADVANCE LOST IN
WHEAT MARKET
Corn Loses 1-205-S to lac
Net-Oats We're Quoted
Unchanged

Chicago, December S.-Outweighng any
pecuniary value was the unexpected
worlds supply statement. sweeping aside
any advance in wheat today The mar
ket closed at the same figures as last
weeks close to 1-16c depressed.
Corn lost 1saAc net; oats finished un-
changed to Ac off and provisions lower
to 21sa10e.
Until the visible supply figures wers
posted wheat had an appearance of
strength, due chiefly to rain spelling to a
further degree the Argentine harvest.
Not much attention was given to the pos
sible effect of cold weather on the grow
ing crop in the United States. Freezing
temperatures prevailed, however in Okla
homa and northern Texas where wheat
was reported jointing, and in Kansas and
Nebraska, where the ground is soaked.
Stocks afioat on the lakes were respon-
sible in the main for the bulge in the
visible supply total. A large amount of
grain has not been unloaded and con
gestion interfered. Predictions that the
Canadian export duty would be removed
soon after the assembling of Parliament
January IL, acted as an additional weight
on prices late in the session.
Corn suffered a sharp break, owing To
cold weather and consequent enlargement
of offerings from first hands Some of
the speculative bulls sold out and, there
was no support from shorts
Oats proved relatively steady. The rea-
son seemed to be that lake shipments
from Canada had virtually stopped
Although provisions started firmer be-
cause of an advance in the hog mar
ket selling developed sufficiently to bring
about setback. Longs unloaded an uir-
usual amount of ribs.

ACTIVITY NOTED|N
THE EARLY TRADING
The Census Bureau Report
Larger Than Expected.
Market Declined

New Orleans. December S.-The cotton
market displayed considerable activity in
the early trading today, but in the aft
ernoon lapsed into the dull attitude of
last week. The census bureau report of
l2,OS1,1 100 bales of cotton ginned up to
caused selling around the first call, but
the easy spot that developed resulted in
q good volume of fresh buying and the
decline was only momentary.
On the opening the tone was steady and
prices were to 6 points down. After
the call the decline was widened to to
points. These were the low levels of
the day as the ring found difficulty In
supplying the demand that sprung up.
Before noon prices were unchanged to
! point down. compared with Saturdays s
close. This was the high of the day
In the afternoon the market barely
moved. The close was steady at a net
decline of . to points.
While the census figures on the total
amount of cotton ginned were called
bearsh the returns for Georgia and
Texas, the two largest states, from a
producing standpoint in the cotton re-
gion, were disappointing to large crop
people, which did much to offset the
effect of the whole report. Bulls claimed
that the large total merely due to the
very favorable weather conditions which
prevailed during the last half of Novem-
ber.
