COTTON MARKET
CONTINUES STEADY
Some Covering and Demand
From Trade and Invest
ment Buyers

New York, December 19.-The cot
ton market showed continued steadi-
ness on covering for over the week
end. and moderate demand from
trade and investment buyers who evil
IDENTIFY found very little cotton for sale
around the ring. The close was slightly
Off from the best under realizing, but
steady and from 3 to A points net

Cables We're lower than due. aud the
local market opened steady at a de-
cline of . TO points under scat
tered realizing which may have been
partly inspired by apprehensions of in
creased spot offerings on further ad-
vance. or a desire to take profits be-
fore the publication of the census GIN
ming figures on Monday morning.
There was no aggressive selling, how
ever, with nothing in the news or in
the trading to Indicate any Weakening
of the southern spot markets, and
prices here soon "firmed up" on a con-
tinuation of the buying movement
which developed on Thursday and was
considerably in evidence during yester-
days trading.
Reports of a continued active demand
for ocean tonnage and reiterated state
ments that Germany and Austria be-
tween will take fully 100000 bales
of cotton this season If shipments can
be arranged undoubtedly held the ad-
vance. while buying was also encour-
aged by reports of a more active de-
mand for goods In the domestic market
and Indications for continued large ex-
ports. The amount of cotton on ship
board awaiting clearance at the close
of business last night was again re-
ported in excess of last year. Private
cables from Liverpool replying to in
quiries concerning yesterdays rumors
that shipments might be Interrupted
from the gulf ports denied such re-
ports and said that the rate on war
risks had been reduced.

FIRM UNDERTONE
AT NEW ORLEANS

Bullish Talk About Sta
tistics Are Features

New Orleans, December 19.-Cotton hal
a firm understone today and, in spite of
dullness, closed at net advance for the
session of to points. This was within
a point of the best of the day.
Covering by the short side, bullish gos-
sip regarding statistics. especially exports
and mill tal<ings, kilograms from the belt
telling of a good demand for spots for
immediate shipment and moderate
amount of investment buying were the
features that held prices up In the face
of poor Liverpool market.
Bearish comment was that Christmas
offerings of cotton probably would press
on the price early next week, but shorts
were more inclined to even up over the
holiday period than to increase theiI
lines. At no time was the demand large
and only a small business was done, on
the WHOLE but at all times offerings were
light and not sufficient to meet the In
quiry. BY some traders 1t was said that
many brokers We're in possession of or
ders to buy on scale down, should the
market go into a decline.

LITTLE TRADING
IN SECURITIES
The Speculative Fav0rites
Change Hands in Very
Small Lots

New York, December 19.-Trading in Sc
curities today was relatively lighter than
at any other session since the recent re-
sumption of business on the stock ex-
change. Some of the more important is
sues were not quoted at all, and the spec
ulative favorites changed hands in very
small lots. The tone was steady at the
outset, from which it became irregular
with nominal losses at the close.
The decision of the interstate commerce
commission granting partial increases to
railroads in the eastern territory was
again the main topic of discussion, with
considerable diversity of opinion as to
its real significance. The fact that the
roads had been denied the right to in
crease rates in commodities which form
the bulk of their tonnage caused disap
pointment. Apart from this, however,
Wall street was disposed to view the out
come as further indication of the fed
eral governments recognition of the
needs Of big business"
Mercantile authorities reported improv-
ing tendencies in many lines. the recent
cold weather having stimulated demand
in the textile trades Record breaking
cotton shipments also afforded encour-
agement in these same quarters.
The coming week is expected to witness
some important developments in the steel
industry, including publication of wage
scales for next year. Some of the larger
mills have increased their output, but
immediate business continues light. De-
mand for copper remains tentative, con-
sumers apparently hoping for decline
from. recent price advances. M

dition to the already large excess re-

Bonds were firm at the opening, but lost
ground later. Total sales, par value. were

Government bonds were without ma
terial change on small trading.

outcome was unchanged to an advance

Throughout the day evidence increased
that Europeans were finding it decidedly
more difficult than formerly to fill large
orders for United States wheat All over
the west exporters and millers were said
to be competing for wheat reserves. The
bulk of purchasing on transatlantic ac-
count was apparently for the govern
ments of Holland, Great Britain and

Corn averaged higher as a result of
continued smallness of rural offerings

New York, December 19.-Reduced
prices on branded domestic cotton
goods, prints, percales, etc, have
served to stimulate buying by iobbers
for the new spring season. These re-
ductions, inevitable since the decline in
cotton. were delayed by the uncertainty
of dyestuffs supplies on the part of the
mills. and the unwillingness of jobbers
to operate until raw material values
were soundly. based
