New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 10.--It was a waiting market today in cotton with in- terest wholly centersd in tomorrows crop estimate from the department of agri- culture. Even the serious labor troubles reported in Lancashire failed to attract attention. Fluctuations were narrow and sluggist In the early trading the mar ket at it's best was 10 to IS points over yesterdays close and at its lowest. II to 36 points under. In the afternoon price changes were even narrower; the close showed net losses of, Il to B points,
 General expectations regarding tomor- rows figures range around 11,500,000 to Il, ,s0o,00o bales, with 1l,5O0,Oo0 as the prob able dividing line of opinion. Accord ing to floor comment late in the session it will require a report higher than Ill., 500,0o0 to bring about lower prices tomor- row and figures under that mark to put values up. The extreme of opinion to- day ranged from 11,2oo,d00 up to 12. 200 900.
 The spot situation exhibited no change and the quoting of the market quiet and unchanged at 2s50c for middling had the effect of giving the contract market a steady tone in the late trading.

 New York; December 1o.-Predicated largely to the sanguine views of the chairman of the United States Steel cor- poration respecting future industrial conditions, stocks today opened with firm undertone, gathering greater strength and breadth as the session pro gressed.
 United States Steel and Standard rails were almost the only exceptions uneii the final hour when heavy buying oi steel and transcontinentals infused oe- gree of buoyancy to the general llst- Outstanding features, however, embraced the better known equipments, lncludins former war issues, motors and snlP pings together with numerous speciai- ties, mainly of the peace variety at gross gains of ? to points.
 The backwardness of United states Steel was attributed in a measure to the nnhIication of November tonnage figures showing a decrease of about 2So,oVO tons in thrilled orders.
 Oils were unsettled at times because of the reported rupture of relations pe- tween American concessiQnaireS and the Mexican government but Mexican petro- leum regained it's loss, kindred record ing variable gains.

WEATHER WORKED AGAINST BEARS
 IN THE GRAIN PIT
Covering by Shorts Brought About Material Advance iii Values = Provisions
 Were Stronger

Chicago, December 10.-Unfavorab1e weather put the bears in corn at gen eral disadvantage today. Nevertheless. prices closed unsettled, 1sc off to 14c net higher, with January s1.S1ss@1. .S111, and May, s1.30. Oats finished Ac down to a like advance. In provisions there were gains of 10c to 55c.
 Dampness and mild temperatures in the corn belt inspired many recent sellers with wish to get away from risks that would have to be met if the crop move ment should be seriously delayed or cur tailed.
 Covering that ensued on the part of shorts brought about a material ad- vance in values, for offerings were scarce until bidders had competed with good deal of spirit. After the bulge. however. realizing by holders set in and attention centered on the fact that ar- rivals here were on more liberal scale than had appeared likely. Relative weak ness followed and nearly all gains had been wiped out.
 Continued demand from the seaboard together with good domestic inquiry gave steadiness to oats. Food administration measures to stabilize hog quotations tended to strengthen provisions.

AS
 ID REPORT WHIPS
 COTTON ABOUT
General List Closed Steady Net Five Points Higher
 to Three Points N Lower

New York, December 10-Uncertainty
 as to the showing of tomorrow's govern
 ment report giving the final official crop
 estimate of the season was considered
 partly responsible for the irregular rul-
 ing of the cotton market today and the
 comparatively small volume of business.
 The general list closed steady net
 points higher to points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad-
 vance of 1S to 40 points in response to
 relatively firm cables and bullish over night spot advices. There was realizing to advance, however, while there was also scattered selling which seemed to be inspired by the labor troybles in Lan- cashire and talk of very small domestic I.consumption for November The market eased off in consequence with December selling down from 2S.00c to 2755e and March from 2550c to 25.15c, or about 5 to 13 points net lower. January was rela- lively firm or trade buying and fur ther transferring of straddle or hedge shorts to later deliveries and late fluc- tuations were irregular with the close showing slight rallies on covering. Private returns were said to show do- nestle mill consumption of only 39S GOO bales for November compared with 590 900 for the same month last year, and cable adVlceS rom MancheSter Sald that l00,VO0 cotton spinners were on strike for an | advance of 40 per cent in wages. Accord ing to these reports, stocks of yarns are small and unless the strike is soon settled, the weaving sheds will have to close also. The average of S3 estimates by cotton exchange members collected today indi- cated crop expectation of 11,547000 bales.
 Private estimates recently issued have averaged asound Il ,600, 900 bales and local brokers said the market seemed to be preparing for government estimate of between 11,500,000 and 11,S00,000 bales to- morrow.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, December 10.-There was no special news over night and market attention was principally directed to oper- ations in connection with tomorrow's bu- reau estimate The difference in tech nical conditions between New orleans and in New York told at the openingsi which was easier in New Orleans In an- ticipation of some belated bureau liqui- dation. while New York, where specula- tive interest is believed to be largely short, opened smartly higher Trading soon settled around yesterdays closing prices with the appearance of nar- row traders market There is wide difference in views as to the size of to- morrows estimate. ranging all the way from 11.5 to 12.2; average around ll,Sooooo bales of 800 pounds.
 In considering the true value or the government estimate, no matter what II is. we must bear in mind that it. is in 500 pound gross weight bales, and about 3 per cent must be deducted to convert it into crop of commercial bales
 What is more important still, is it's spinning value Reliable reports by fac
 tors ana other sources in the interior say that the damage from excessive and constant rains during the past two months has been material in quantity Ias well as quality. Spot buyers say late arrivals to the market show low grade and damaged staple and that the spin ming value of this crop might be less than last years Under the circum- stances, the large discount or distant positions could be dangerous isolation from supply. By May the good spinnabie and tenderable portion of this crop should be pretty well engaged to the consum- inA trade and the scarcity of tender
 able cotton tell against short interest Tn the discount positions. Under the stim- ulus of urgent needs for military pur- poses the production of linters last year I,reached the large total Of l'l2a,ns paies. As this demand has ceased, this years llinter crop may be less. s.-John F. Clark & Co.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-12-11

exclusive of linters, which is about the average of private crop estimates. II returns point to production of 1l.S00,- 900 bales or more, market is likely to experience temporary decline, but II they indicate a yield of u,5oo,oo0 bales or less, prices are likely to be maintained, perhaps advance
 A few hundred thousand bales more than expected would not make any differ ence in the long run when measured by the scarcity of cotton abroad and the large consuming capacity of the world while crop smaller than looked for would make great difference to the trade. The average estimate of S5 mem bers of the New York cotton exchange as to the probable figures of tomorSow's government crop estimate is 11,b47ooc bales.
 After the bureau crop estimate IS out of the way, and now that all gov ernment restrictions. except shipping to enemy countries have been removed market will be governed by the character of the demand to be experienced during the remainder of the season.
 After this time last year exports to Europe fell off sharply. This year. from now on, they are likely to increase ma terially. Thus, s,far this season shipments to foreign countries are 453,000 bales less than they were to even date one year ago, 1,46I, 900 vs. 1,9i400o, But indications are that most of this deficit will be re- covered by the end of January, after which time exports will probably run ahead of last seasons shipments. Exports for month of December are likely to be larger than 470,O00 for Decem- Der last year. January shipments last season dropped to 371,00o, in February 10 315.0O and to 2e4,0o0 in March. In view of the promise of more ton- mage from now on 1t is reasonable to expect that shipments to Europe Will gradually increase. To make good the governments statement that exports this season will be in excess of last season by 2,Oo0, GOO bales, shipments from now on will have to exceed last years by about 2,5O0, ,000 bales.
