 While there has been no unusual demand for rediscounts by the mem Der banks. the Atlanta bank has been of great assistance in the handling of the south's cotton crop and the de- velopment of the system of credit based on acceptances has been of ma terial aid to the member banks in the handling of trade acceptances secured by grain, cattle and hogs, thereby lending an added impetus to the grow ing industry of packing plants in the south"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 2e.-sAs a result of the English government limiting the amount of freight room for general car goes, the Liverpool market was better than due, as many abroad assumed this move was the first of many for the gov ernment to take toward a general control of the cotton trade of Great Briain, just as they have taken of the wheat trade.
 Our market advanced some 20 points on local support, but the moment that that demand was supplied another running de- cline set in, which was not arrested be- fore the prices declined some 50 points when recovery set in, with the close some to 10 points lower than yesterday.
 The market Is a thin, nervous one, with the local trade trying to support it in face of a slow liquidation by outside hold CTS.

D. r. Hutton's Stock Letter

Furnished by c. F. Avery's private
 wire.
 New York, December 29.-It is pret- ty well sold out market. You have got to have something new to bring fur ther liquidation. When you look over the list, you will realize that stocks have had a big decline and brokers loans have been reduced and earnings are at the top notch so far. There are plenty of clouds in the sky-there all ways are-therefore the foreign situa- tion is very uncertain-that is the req son the market is down. The right kind of people have been picking up good stocks. Gold imports are enormous. If they continue as they are, 1t will be hard to prevent another inhation. Everybody sells short now that was long at the top. Texas oil went up to- day just to show that stocks can ad- vance. We think that these that are selling short now after a panic had better be very careful and know what they are selling. The time for crops is coming along and at the price com modities are selling, it looks like there will be a big acreage planted.

pool and fairly good demand. Around noon, however. there was a bear raid which caused a sharp break of fifty points from the top. Early sellers be- gan taking profits at this level and prices rallied again to within about 50 points of last nights close.
 Spinners' takings were slightly less than for the corresponding week last year, probably due to an additional holiday this year There is no weak ness in spots and we think the market will respond to the bullish conditions of a small supply and good demand. but would only buy on the breaks for the present.

COTTON MARKET ON
 DOWNWARD TREND
Break Attributed to Lack of Confidence and Com
 paratively Small Orders

New York, December 2s,--An early ad- vance was followed by another sharp break in the cotton market here today, with March contracts selling off from 175Sc to 17.1Oc and closing at 17.27c. The general list closed steady at a net decline of to points
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 8 to Il points in response to rela- lively steady cables and bullish overnight spot news. Covering was quite active after the break of yesterday afternoon, and there was fresh buying on which prices soon sold about 24 to 27 points net higher. This carried May contracts up to 1785c, but demand then became less &C., tive, while the market met increased of- ferings as a result of realizing for over the week end and the New Years day ad- journment. Stop orders were uncovered as prices worked off, while there appeared to be very few buyers around the ring, with May selling off to 1736c during the afternoon, or about 49 points below the high level of the morning. At the net loss of 2l to 23 points. offerings were lighter, however, and the close showed rallies of 16 or 1T points from the lowest on covering. Reports of a firmer tone in the market for marine war risks served to increase uneasiness as to the export situation. Otherwise there appeared to be no special feature emphasized around the ring and the break was attributed largely to lack of confidence among re- cent buyers and the sensitiveness of a narrow market to comparatively small or ders. Private cables said the steadiness of Liverpool had resulted from continen- tai buying, the continued absence of hedge selling, and fears that the action of the British government in regard to ocean tonnage might restrict importations. No fresh feature was reported in the south ern spot situation, and trading here seemed to originate largely in local cir cles, with scattering Wall street liquida- ton probably hastened by the fact that the stock exchange will be closed tomor- row
