Over s. R. Stewart & Co.'S Wire


 New Orleans. December 5.-While there was some easing in the spot quotations yesterday, most interior markets show quotations cent or more higher than fu- lures. However, reports indicate an easier feeling and more disposition to trade on the part of holders
 Our market opened irregular, 2 points higher to 10 lower. Selling was rather brisk at the start in execution of over- night orders based on yesterdays weak ness and combined with a weak opening m New York. The market declined about 10 points
 Views that the market should have some rally after the break and on the excess sive discount situation prevailed, how ever, and demand of this nature de- veloped sufficiently to bring about a sharp upturn, March futures being carried from 26.S9c to 27.21c inside of 20 minutes The inspiring language of the Presidents address strengthened feeling, which is ex- pressed in the Wall Street Review, say ing, Agreement with the Presidents ad- dress in virtually all respects imparted cheerful feeIing"
 The possi bility of a confirmation by Saturdays census ginners' report of the heavy forecast of the national ginners, is weighing against freedom of support, as also the suspicion of large bureau esti- mate next Tuesday than the popular crop idea of 10, 750,000. Bulls, however argue that the excess in ginnings and crop es- inmates is not large enough to change a bullish situation, and that any possible surprise by larger figures has been dis counted in the recent break The origi- nal view of ultimately higher prices seems strongly adhered to and support can be rallied more readily than pressure. This was shown in the market this morning

COTTON HELD UP
 DURING SESSION
Overnight Selling, Short / Stop Orders and Liquida-
 ton Were Features

New York, December 5.-A sharp early advance was not fully maintained in the cotton market today. but there was a good demand on all the breaks and the close was steady at q net gain of to 14 points. January sold up from 2S.07c to 28.S1c, broke to 2SS0c. and closed at 2S 45c
 There was a good many overnight selling orders around the ring at the start, particularly in the near months December and January opened at de- clnes of 20 to 24 points in consequence, while later deliveries were points low CT to 2 points higher Offerings were soon absorbed and the market firmed up during the early trading on trade buying and covering. It was reported a good many contracts 1iquidated yester- day had been purchased bs brokers op- erating for manufacturers or spinners, and the renewal of this demand, com bined with the bullish character of soutn- ern spot advices led to rebuying by old longs as well as rather an urgent demand from recent sellers. Stop orders were uncovered on the short side which carried December up to 29.35c, or 3J points net higher, while March sold at 2S. .45c and May at 2S17c, or about 41 to 47 points above last nights closing figures on January and later deliveries The volume of business then tapered orr, and while there was no change in the general character of the news, prices weakened during the afternoon on re- newal of liquidation which seemed to 1orne chiefly from Wall street sources. December broke to 2S.90c, while March sold off to 27.90c, or about to 14 points net lower. It was thought possible the Wall street selling might have reflected nervousness over the talk of the govern ment control of railroads, but this was not considered a direct factor In cot ton, and there were rallies of 15 or 20 points in the late trading on continued spot house buying or renewed covering The members of the exchange estimate the crop at 11,137oOo bales, exclusive Of linters.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 5.-(SpeciaL)-A natural recovery on the cessation of the selling of spots by the south was in progress until it met heavy selling by a prominent Wall street trader, who was thought to have sold out his cotton on the theory that the action of the in- terstate commerce committee in recom- mending the practical operation of the railroads by the government during the war indicated that the government would also regulate the profits of the cotton manufacturers sooner or later. His holdings were so large as to cause a sharp decline before this could be ab- sorbed in market with a limited specu- lation. So far as the interstate com merce commission is concerned it is the first piece of constructive legisla- ton they have ever suggested or rec commended. Whether the government will reduce the price of manufactured goods and so affect the price of cotton Is doubtful.

OPINION WANTED IN REGARD TO HOLDING ANNUAL TRACK MEET

New York, December 5.--Request for an expression of opinion regarding the ad- visibility of holding both the indoor and the outdoor intercollegiate track and field championships during 1918 has been made to the officers and advisory members of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic association.
 The constitution of the association makes no provision for the cancellation of these annual meets, but this barrier was overcome last spring by unofficial request that no entries be made to the outdoor championship. As there appears to be growing sentiment in favor of the restoration of the games in certain collegiate centers it has been decided to ascertain the general feeling among the 2o-odd colleges forming the organiza- ton.

Negro Segregation Law lin Baltimore Held t0/Come
 Within the Recent Decision

Baltimore December 5-Judge John C.. Rose in the United States district court here has decided that the Baltimore negro segregation ordinance comes un- der the ruling of the United States su- preme court which recently declared the Louisville segregation ordinance un- constitutional.
 Judge Rose held that the Baltimore and Louisville ordinances were identical in one essential that they prohibited white persons from living in blocks with negroes and negroes from living in blocks with white persons.
 The case came before Judge Rose in habeas corpus proceedings brought in behalf of a negro charged with violating the ordinance. He was ordered released.
