COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. December "A re-
newal of more or less general realizing
prevented full response to firm
cables in the cotton market today. and
after opening barely steady at an ad-
vance of points to a decline of 2
points active months sold about to
points under last nights closing fig
ures. This decline carried January on
to 1851 and March to 1888, or about Is
to IT points under the high level OF
yesterday.
Liverpool was an active buyer, owing
to the further widening of differences.
and there was some scattered buying
in anticipation of a small government
crop estimate tomorrow, but rallies
were slight, and the tone more or
less unsettled during the early trading.
Futures opened barely steady: De-
cember. 12.52; January. 1865. March,
1891: May, 1909; July, 1917.
Offerings became less active during
the middle of the morning and prices
worked back to about last nights close
on covering. but there was no agrees
sive demand and reports of increased
acreage-selling were followed by a re-
newal of liquidation with March SELL
ing off to 1880 and May to 1901, or
about s points net lower.
The average idea Of seventy-nine
members of the New York Cotton Ex-
change as to the showing of tomor-
rows official crop estimates was placed
at 11,269,000 bales by a canvass made
this morning.

WHEAT PRICES BREAK
AFTER EARLY ADVANCE
Fresh Decline in Bids for Export
Acts as Handicap on Initial
Liverpool Strength.

CHICAGO, December 9.-Heavy specu-
latlve selling broke prices In the wheat
pit today after an early advance The
initial strength was in sympathy with
higher quotations at Liverpool. where
an improved demand was said to be
noticeable. A fresh decline in bids for
export wheat at the gulf of Mexico,
however, acted as a handicap on the
bulls. Opening prices here, which
ranged from u to q higher. with De-
cember at 1.16b to 1.16A, and May at
1.17h to 1.17S, were followed by a drop
to well below yesterdays finish.

LONDON MARKET Is DULL,
Prices Inclined to Ease Off on Bal
kan Standardization Dull.

LONDON. December 9.-Money and
discount rates were easy today. Treas
ury bills were in good demand. as dis
count dealers show no inclination to
sell hills. American exchange was
steady at 472a4.72A. Petrograd and
Scandinavian exchange rates were
frmer.
owine to a shortage of the issue and
purchases induced by the gold yields
at the present low level, the stock
market was dull and inclined to ease
off on the Balkan situation. Peruvian
and shinping shares were firm excep-
tions. Copper stocks and Argentine
american rails were dull and feature
less The Bank of England continued
to quietly absorb American gold bonds.

TO FIGHT APPOINTMENT
TO THE EXCISE BOARD
Senator Jones Announces He Will
Strongly Oppose Confirmation of
Gen. R. G. Smith.

When the nomination of Gen. Robert
G. Smith as chairman Of the excise
board of the District of Columbia
comes UP for consideration in the SEN
ate District committee. and in the Sem
ate itself. there will be a hard fight
made to defeat his confirmation, it was
said today.
1T is inconceivable to me how the
President could have reappointed Gen.
Smith as excise commissioner in the
face of the report made to the Senate
at the close of last session by a spe-
cial committee which Investigated the
conduct of excise matters in the Dis
trict under the administration of Gen.
Smith" said Senator Jones of Wash
ington Senator Jones is co-author
with Senator Works of California of
the excise law under which the Dis
trict now is operating. He also is
member of the Senate District COM
mittee and was member of the special
committee which investigated excise
conditions here at the last session.
Will Oppose Confirmation.
Senator Jones said he intended to
confirmation of Gen. Smith. and that
ne tnouSnt QUEER seHdtors "ouiu do
the same.
The nomination of Gen. Smith will
be referred to the Senate District COM
mittee first for report, and by that
committee Will be reported favorably
or unfavorably to the Senate. On the
District committee in addition to SEN
ator Jones are Senator Dillingham; of
Vermont, who signed the report of the
special committee investigating excise
matters, and Senator Works. who is
in favor of prohibition and has criti-
cised vigorously the manner in which
the excise board has conducted affairs
in Washington.
