DAILY PORT
NEW O COTTON

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.AThe cotton
market opened easy at a decline of 25
to 50 points in response to relatively
easy cables and a private report estl-
mating the crop at II, 120, 900 bales, ex-
GLIDING l%inters, and ginning to Dec. l
at 5000, 900. These crop figures wero
the heaviest so far published and led
to a good deal Of commission house
liquidation, but trade interests were
buyers, while there was an active de-
mand from Liverpool brokers with Jap
anese connections around 36, 45c for Jan
uary and 80, $50 for May. This checked
the decline and caused rallies Of rs or
80 points from the lowest.
January sold up to 37.04c later in the
morning or 10 points net higher on
covering and buying encouraged by
more optimistic reports of the coal sit
uation, Later months did not fully re-
cover their early losses, however, and
the market was unsettled at midday
with January selling around 36.7Sc and
May S2.S3c, or about 16 to As points net
lower under renewed liquidation pro-
noted by the weakness Of foreign ex-
change.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Stocks were
strong, almost to the point OF buoyancy,
at the opening Of todRy's session on the
news that the department Of justice had
decided not to appeal the Southern Pa
cific oil land cases recently decided
against the government. Southern Pa
cific, which closed yesterday at IS,
opened with a lot Of 20, 900 shares at l04
to los followed by numerous lots OF
100 to 500 shares at 10l to l0S. Suisse
quent sales were made At LOG to 107.
Southern Pacific convertible 5 per cent
bonds opened at i07, soon advancing TO
1854, against yesterdays final price OF
100. The general list, especially oils,
motors, steels and equipments, rose / to
2 points with a general extension OF
gains within the first half hour.
The market settled down to its he
cent dull routine at midday, with raj
lies Of 2 to 3 points in General Motors,
Crucible Steel and the more represen-
tative oils. Shippings and Columbia
Graphophone featured the stronger
stocks, but equipments and feathers
were comparatively heavy.
