 Selling finally extended to the steels, equipments and the dividend-paying rails. especially high-grade coalers. General Asphalt, ono of the new and most prom inent features of the market, also gave way to pressure.
 Of the representative industrials, United States Steel held relatively steady, losing only the smallest fraction, and Cruciele Steel whose recent cratic movements have excited general comment, closed at a nominal gain.

COTTON WENT DOWN
 UNDER LIQUIDATION
 BY LARGE TRADERS
In the Closing Hour the Market Was Barely Steady at a De- cline of Ten to Twenty
 eight Points
nx Associated Press

New York December 1S.-The cotton market was lower today under scattered liquidation or realizing by traders at light southern selling. January contracts eased off to l5 i6o. or 9S points net lower and closed at l5 16c. with the general mar ket closing barely steady at a decdne of 10 to S points.
 The opening was s6 to b points lower under overnight selling orders from the south but there was some scattered buying on reports of rather q better tone
 in the goods market, and hope that the new southern organization for financ- ing cotton would facilitate exports. This caused rallies of few points right after the call, with January selling up from Ia. 30c to IS. 40c, and March from 15. ac to 15. 2Sc, but demand failed to broaden, and prices turned easier late in the morn ing when hedge selling was little more active March sold off to IS. l2c and last prices were at approximately tho lowest of the day. Sales Of print cloths in inc Fall River market were estimated at only 2, ,Oo0 pieces for the week, but that was the biggest business reported for two months and reports that New England mill operatives would not declare any strike as result of the wage reduction at this time made a favorable impress sion on sentiment, There was also com ment on western advices indicating a better retail business but buying on these features was probably restricted by the approach of the holiday season and pri- vate reports from Georgia that cotton might be shipped here for contract deiiv- cry should spot demand fail to improve early in the new year. Business was com paratively quiet during the entire morn ing, and each for the southern hedges was attributed chiefly to further evening up of accounts for over the weekend.

New Orleap- t'otton


 New Orleans, December 1S.-A sagslnS tendency featured the trading in cotton today, steady selling in small volume being felt because of the general expec- tations of unfavorable ginning returns from the census bureau the first thing Monday morning Almost no support came from any quarter at any stage oi the session and prices were at the lowest levels, showing losses of l5 to & points January traded down to l4.30c and July down to Hsic.
 The disposition to sell was increased by the rather pessimistic tone of weekly re- views of general trade conditions and py the unfavorable twist of the figures III the weekly statistical report. For the first time this season the visible supply became larger than it was year ago the figures being 4.S72,5s5 bales, against 4, 301 ,569.
 Whatever buying appeared during th' day seemed to be for the account ol shorts who desired to even up in order to secure their profits, but naturally this demand was not broad in view of the opinion held concerning the bureau re- port of Monday.

Hubbard Bros. d Co.'S Letter

New York. December B.-tSpeclal.)- The market opened quiet and lower. De- ! hand for contracts was lacking and as a consequence, the market slowly eased off. January. the strong option of yes terday. lacked support of foreign cover ing, later i'll the morning selling prac- tically even with March. should trade pick up sooner than expected we will find January opening strong for there has been .: lot of buying on this month of late. Many are of the opinion that March will prove the strong option and will go out above distant options, and that January after spot houses and shorts have finished buying, will ease off.
 We are not losing sight of the fact that trade conditions are in very poor shape at the moment. but we must not forget that people in the trade are taking a much more hopeful view of things than heretofore. With this sentiment prevail ing and increasing. We are beginning to look forward to a stronger market with a better demand from both domestic and foreign mills. Therefore. we think it best to purchase in small quantities on declines. rather than sell on rallies Hubbard Bros. & Co. .
