New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 13.-A higher market prevailed in cotton today. al though in the afternoon much of the early gain was lost under short selling and realizing. The net gain for the day amounted to 23 to 3S points. At the high est levels the active months were 23 to 66 points up.s
 ly because. of the continued wet weather ID because of the continued wet weather in the cotton region, which is having the effect of badly injuring the grade of cotton left in the fields, interfering with picking and also of inJuring poorly stored baled cotton held on farms
 Cable messages from Liverpool stated that spinners labor troubles were prac- tically settled and they helped values. Reports of continued firinness on the part of spot owners and predictions of an in-- creased export movement, during the sec ond half of December we're features that increased tfe demand for contracts.
 In the afternoon expectations of bear sish figures on American consumption for November in the census bureau report due the first thing tomorrow and the small mill takings for the week worked against values and at one time the a1- vance amounted to only. 15 to 20 points.
 Hester made mill takings of American cotton 2s5,ooO bales against S66,OOO thi1 week last year.

COTTON COULD NOT
 HOLD ITS ADVANCE
Closed Steady, 2 Points Low,
 CT to IF Points Lower Over the Day

New York, December 13.-Early ad-
 vances of some 45 to 50 points were fol-
 lowed by reactions in the cotton mar
 ket today with January selling off from
 26 45c to 25.9sc and closing at that level
 or two points net lower. Other months
 held shade over last nights closing
 figures with the final tone steady. net
 2 points lower to IT points higher on
 the general list.
 The market opened firm at an advance
 of l5 to 26 points in response to rela-
 lively firm cables and reports from Liver
 pool that there were prospects for set
 ting the Lancashire strike There was
 some further scattered southern selling
 and realizing but the offerings were readily absorbed, with trade interests
 among the buyers. December sold up
 from T.& to 27.75c and March from 25.0Sc
 to .S6c in consequence, or about 45 to 52
 points net higher with January showing an advance of 105 points as compared with
 the low point touched on the break right after the publication of the government s crop estimate Wednesday. These prices seemed to attract scattered realizing which. with continued southern hedge selling, was considered responsible for the afternoon reactions.
 The disposition to take profits on long cotton was probably increased by the talk of very small domestic consumption figures from the census bureau tomor- row and reports that while small in vol ume, there was steady hedge selling here by the south.
 According to Liverpool advices a prom inent English trade authority estimates the worlds consumption of American cotton for the season at 12, 750, 600 bales. 1 The announcement that the restriction fixing maximum prices for cotton goods had been withdrawn effective January 1, attracted some attention as reflecting the gradual return to normals but was not considered a market factor.

TRADING IN STOCKS LOWEST OF WEEK
Superficial Character of the Market Was Indicated All
 Through the Session

Z Naw York. December 13.-Operations in Inc stock market today consistently fol-
 lowed the lines of least resistance, aver ea nrices and the volume of trading declining almost to lowest levels of the
 week. Almost 50 per cent of the nom Inal turnover during the early and in- termlediate stages of the session was represented by half a dozen issues, all of the more speculative variety. United States steel, Studebaker, Marine pre- ferred and Mexican Petroleum featured the movement and indicated the mar kets superficial character.
 Price changes until the final hour were rather mixed, with a .preponderance of losses, but the entire list broke sharply towards the end. coppers reflectng >es- pecial weakness on reports Of a cut Tn the metal to 19 cents. The setback among popular shares ex- tended from to 31z pointss~utah show
 ing greatest impairment. From that group the reaction spread to other in
 dustrials and prominent equipments. United States steel showing loss or lh points.
 Investment rails, which were inclined
 to improve after a listless forenoon,
 reversed their course with shipplngs, oils, motors and fertilizers, though rally ing slightly at the close.
 Utilities, notably local fractions m which weakness spread to bonds, were
 under constant pressure, probably as result of recent unfavorable statements of earnings. ,,y Call money was offered as low as 4A per cent, but 6 per cent was the ruilhs rate with a minimum of time funds.
