NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1S.-Poor sales and
the general belief in a high crop estimate
from the government sent the price of cot
ton to lower levels today, the active months
losing 16. to 26 points in the first half hour
of business. Heavy rains in the belt were
regarded unfaVorable but did not more
than steady the market at the decline.
The market became very quiet, all classes
of traders holding off because of the bureau
report. At IL o'clock the trading months
showed declines of IA to % points.
The governments crop estimate of 49,
eS7, 900 bales of 500 pounds gross weight
was considered larger than expected, but
its immediate effect drop of only a
dollar a bale in the price of the most ac-
tive months, January falling to 14.50c. Aft
er recovering few points the market fell
off moderately again and at 1:30 O'Clock
the list was AZ TO 81 points under the final
prices of Saturday. January traded down
to 14.44c, which compared with 14.70 just
before the government figures were issued.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The cotton mar
ket was easier during todays early trad
ing. 1t appeared that the scattering short
interest had been pretty well covered toward
the end of last week and after opening
barely steady al a decline of 10 to 81 points,
In response to weak Liverpool cables, active
months soon sold 81 to 80 points below Sat
orday's closing with January touching 10. 40
and May 1852. There was scattering lqui-
dation in advance of the government report,
while there was also southern and Liverpool
selling with some local pressure encouraged
by reports of unfavorabe general trade and
industrial conditions.
Reports that advices received by the de
paTtment of agriculture estimated require
ments of American cotton by Germany at
not more than 700 600 bales for the season
even should German mills be aided by
American credits, may have led to some sell
ing OF the early declines. There was enough
trade buying and covering to hold prices
around 15.4Jc for January, however, and
part of the loss was recovered later. Busl-
ness was quiet after the first half nour,
with traders waiting for the official esti-
mate of the crop.
Reports of freer spot offerings in the
southwest were accompanied by scattered
southern selling early in the afternoon. and
offerings increased on the publication of
the government report indicating crop OF
i, 9ST 900 bales, excluding linterS. rms
was about 400, 600 bales above the average
of private estimates and was followed by
a break to 15.2Sc for January and 15.2Sc for
March, or about 80 to 80 points net lower.

BONDS FOR WAREHOUSES
Original Suggestion of John l. Nc.
Laurin Now Being Urged.


Laurin Now Being Urged.
Former Congressman Lever OF
South Carolina, says a Washington
dispatch, has just been notified that
the drafting committee Of the Amer
lean Cotton association at Atlanta,
of which Mr.. Lever is member, has
formally adopted his suggestion
made in the warehouse campaign In
South Carolina a few weeks ago to
the effect that the cotton states them,
selves should aid on a $3.50 basis the
various communities in the erection
of warehouses.
Mr.. Levers plan contemplates the
issuance of state bonds in an amount
sufficient 70 provide one-half OF the
expense of the erection OF suffici-
ent number of warehouses to take
care of at least 35 per cent. Of the
cotton crop of the state. This would
mean perhaps at the outside figure
$4,000, 900. The proceeds from the
sale of these bonds would be used to
match similar amounts put up by the
committee, where it was found from
a survey that warehouses should be
built.
One-half of the profits of the ware
house system under the plan would
90 into the treasury of the state as a
linking fund with which to meet the
interest on the outstanding bonds
and in time return them at their ma
tuurity period. The other half Of the
profits would go to the local stock
holders in the communities.
The plan fruther contemplates that
after stock of the warehouses, the
theoretical stock of the state, therein
should become the property of the
then existing stockholders. This lat.
ter suggestion is made with the
thought of inducing the people Of the
communities to invest their money in
warehouse enterprises, since there
will be almost certain guarantee to
such investors that the stock for
which they paid par would Ultimate
ly double in value.
Mr.. Lever urges with great earnest
ness that the first great step In the
direction of the building up Of a SEN
sible system of cotton distribution is
warehousing, and he emphasizes that
since cotton is the vital crop of the
South,it concerns every class and
enterprise of the South, anc, there
fore, all classes and PROFESSIONS
should desire an opportunity to bear
a part of the burden of providing the
machinery through which the produc-
ers of cotton shall get the real value
thereof.
