JOHN F. CLARK & co.'s COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1S-LAyerpOol barely
A better tone generally. Futures recovered all
the early loss toward the close, and the larger
spot sales show that cables predicting larger
demand from mills on the decline were Wen
founded. With the liquidation and decline In
all markets over the bureau publication, techni-
cal conditions are, of course, much s0unoer and
mills more willing buyers of spots.
Cotton goods reviews show that the flourish
ing conditions in the textile industry have not
changed. There was nothing definite in politics
over Sunday, but more concilatOry attitude
&c peace is noticeable In certain quarters.
The census report next Wednesday giving gin
nings 20 December Is may be bullish, as the
figures compare with 6O5. 900 for the same pc
riOd last year, with 1O.306.O00 total ginnings
to December 10 last year and 1892, 900 In 1914.
Washington says the publication of the seed
crushers report is indefinitely delayed.
Weather map indicates fair and colder, freez-
ing to coasts Of the western and central belts,
unsettled with rain and snOwstOrms in Alabama
and Atlantic states followed by clearing and
much colder toward Wednesday.
Our opening irregular, 10 points down to
points Up. followed by some easiness and a
rapid recovery TO 1875 for March, but support
was not strong enough TO hold gains. The APP
preaching holiday period is telling In the trading
and narrow scaIping markets probable. The
underlying intention, however, seems easier to
read. Holiday dullness seems to be relied on
by both factions to get II possibly somewhat
lower the bears 20 cover TO better advantage and
the bulls 10 construct a line FOR the future by
absorbing contracts gradually as depressons
might provide.
