Tatcful DAY Arrives.

The 18Th Of December was TO have
tsen "a dav Of catastrophe. II may have
had us woes for some for those hold
r.s of the Anclo-French bonds who
could not hold on any longer and Tor
underwriters whose first notion of their
indicate particiDation was that il was
mere Formally for getting their
--me, down for q dividend but as a
1av OF disaster IL was a fzzle. There
we're fully as many bonds turned back
uDon the underwriters as had been in
,ins'ed there would be; the Allies po-
.,ion IN the Balkans, according 10 the
latest reports, was worse than II had
been 81 ans other time. and altogether
The outlook was pretty blue. Never
tneless the bonds az their worst feiled
20 touch %, though az low price as
80 had been predicted for them, and
while a considerable number changed
bands there was no Generalization in
the dealings.

BUYING
ADVANCES COTTON
Market Steadies at Close, with
Net Gain Of 5 to IS
Points.

Cotton showed . generally steady
tone On . diminishing volume Of BUSH
ness during yesterdays trading. Sell
ing was not much In evidence, and the
market rallied on comparatively email
purchases. The close was 2 points of
from the best, but steady at . net gain
Of 5 to Is points for the day.
Liverpool was better than due and
the market here opened steady at an
advance Of 3 70 s points. There was
renewed Wall Street or commission
house liquidation on this bulge. and
prices sold back 90 about Tuesdays
closing figures right after the call, but
Liverpool bought on the decline, while
there was also some demand from spot
houses This checked the break, ana
as prices steadied demand improved
somewhat on covering Of shorts or scat
tered buying for . reaction The rally
carried the active months about 10 TO
10 points net higher. Prices eassd or
under a renewal Of scattering liquids-
ton, but stesdied again In the late
trading.
Il appeared from the hnsl govern
ment report on the seasons crops that
last Fridays estimate Of the cotton
yield was based on revised acreage
Of S0,957 900 acres, compared with the
preliminary estimate of Sl.535,o00
acres. published last July. The estl-
mated yield an acre was IT'S pounds.
An estimate Of domestic consumption
for the season based on canvass OF
manufacturers was published before
the opening, suggesting an increase OF
about IL per cent. hut the indicated
total OF 6,994,000 bales was nearly
enough in line with recent supply and
distribution reports to render 1t with
out much effect on sentiment. The
rumor was that returns to the National
Ginners' Association indicated gin
ming Of 108l9,000 bales prior TO De-
cember IS.
Southern spot markets, IS ofi~-silJ
reported, were unchanged to hc lower,
generally unchanged.
