slowly. The other hero Is J. Austin,
whose batting achievements In the
Browns-Yanks contest brought him
to special notice.
Austin smashed out nve hits out
of Ave in the opener at the Polo

Jimmy finished with two more for the

 0F COTTON MARKET
Prices Weakened Under Wall Street and South
 ern Liquidation

New York. December H-The cotton market showed continued nervousness and irregularity today but trading was less active, and the fluctuations less vio- lent March contracts ruled between 12. 2Sc and 12. 3sc, closing at 12 .2sc. with the gen. eral list closing barely steady at a net decline of 10 to IS points for the day.
 In contrast to its recent relatively steady ruling, Liverpool was lower than due today, and the local market opened easy at decline of to 1s points. Ac- tive months sold off to a net loss of IA to Is points right after the call under renewed commission house liquidation. and there also seemed to be some selling by local trade interests. Liverpool was a good buyer on this decline, however, while a bullish view of the census sup ply and distribution figures probably pro noted some scattering demand and prices rallied to within 8 or points of last nights closing figures before the end of the first hour with January selling up to 12 lie, May to 12.61c and July to i1.71c.
 After the close of the English market had shut out arbitrage buying, the mar ket weakened under continued southern and Wall street liquidation, with January selling back to 12c. May to 12.4c and July to F. 59c. But offerings were not as active or aggressive as they were yes- terday and fluctuations later in the day were comparatively narrow and irregular with rallies of some 10 to 12 points, run ming into long cotton and with prices cas- ing off after o'clock in sympathy with an easier turn in New Orleans ana re- ports that the spot market was 12 points lower on sales of only 30 bales.
 General business was doubtless restrict ed by wire troubles resulting from the storm, and comparatively little news was received from the south. The census fig ures showing domestic mill consumption of lint and linters for the month of No- vember of 592,795 bales were considered in line with the bullish view of this coun- try's requirements, estimates as to which range from about 6.750,000 to 100000 bales.

COTTON CONTROLLED
 BY HOLDER OF SPOTS

c. F. Avery says:
 'The cotton market today moved within a narrow range. Weld brokers and the brokers who usually act for Scales, were large sellers. Liverpool and Bashford who has been a large buyer for Russian account. was also a buyer
 Spot markets generally held firm: where prices were marked down the sales were small.
 If the south will keep their armor on and not budge an inch they will win this bloodless battle. I have maintained my position on the bull side because I be- lieve the Fundamentals justified higher prices, and also because have had faith in the business judgment of the holders of spot cotton.
 The census bureaus figures on con- sumption for November of 515,OOO con- stunned during that month were bulIish. There Is point right here that deserves mention, and that is the government only takes into account in such figures inc cotton that has gone into spinners' hands while everyone knows there are immense amounts of cotton consumed by alItomo- mile tire manufacturers and unuuestion- ably large quantities of low grades have gone into the manufacture of gunpowder all of which go to swell the grand tota or consumption. Representative Heflin called attention to this fact recently. It's all up to the holder of spots. If be gives way, prices will decline; if he stands firm, they go up.

MARKET DECLINES
 FROM BEGINNING
Steadying Influence Was Claim That Interior Spots
 Were Being Firmly Held

New Orleans. December 1.-The local cotton market was again under selling pressure today and stood at net de- cline from start to finish. although its undertone was steady because of the bullishness of the census figures on con- sumption for November.
 Around the opening prices fell 10 to ii points in the face of good cables and the census figures. Subsequently there was reaction on new buying and covering by realizing shorts and the price was put to within to 4 points of yesterday S close. Another period of easiness wid- ened the decline to F to IS points. In the last half of the session the market was more or less irregular, with a ten dency to recover. The close was at a net loss of Il to 13 points.
 A steadying influence was the constant claim from the interior that spots were being firmly held and that sellers were not meeting the decline in futures The busiest marketing points in Texas report ed only small sales. Spots here were down F points, but sales on the spot were only 30 bales, while only 500 bales were sold to arrive.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. December A.-tSpeclal) Liverpool was weak this morning as ap- parently more cotton was bought in this market yesterday afternoon by foreign merchants on arbitrage transactions than the Liverpool market could absorb Here the market was easier owing to these weaker cables and apparently to some re- selling here of cotton which could not well be sold in Liverpool. The figures on the November consumption were bullish, and show that the domestic consumption this season will be fully as large as an- ticipated. This has an influence on prices in that trade buys steadily on such de- clines as occurred yesterday. Wire ser vice was badly crippled all day, which tended to make the market largely a local affair and the local feeling natural after such sharp upset is rather bear ish. As wire service was restored to the south in the late afternoon 1t was notable that the south was not selling in this market. and spot markets were reported as little affected by yesterdays decline. It remains true that the attitude of the south in disposing of the balance of it's crop will have more than usual effect on prices.
