SPECIALTIES AND

NEW YORK, Dec. 1o.-Waves OF
short selling and profit taking swept
over today's stock market, giving it a

of low priced oils and specialties

While there was no great change
in the price of active U. S. govern

COTTON DECLINES
OVER CENT POUND

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-There was a
further decline of over cent a. pound
in the cotton market today, under
continued heavy liquidation. January
contracts sold off to 32.45c, or 49,
points below the closing quotation or
Saturday and closed at that level,
with the general market closing weak
at net declines of los to 13S points
on present crop positions and OF oo 10
$50 points on later deliveries.
The market opened barely steady
at a decline of II to As points in re-
spouse to weak Liverpool cables and
a continuation of the selling move,
which had been stimulated by the
unexpected large ginning returns OIL
Saturday. There was trade buying
on a scale down and covering by re-
cent sellers, but the demand was
readily supplied and before there was
any halt of consequence in the de-
cline active months were about 100 to
105 points net lower. There were
rallies early in the afternoon on re-
ports of a sitter spot basis in the
south and claims of increased activity
among some of the New England
mills, but after selling up some 40 to
As points from the lowest, the market
met a renewal of liquidation. Stop
oruerS were uncovered as prices
broke through the previous lows, and
there was liquidation by early buyers
which sent prices off to 32.20c for De-
cember, $4,000 for March, and 33c for
May, or 1928 to 1873 points below Sat-
urday's' closing quotations, and 420
to 40 points below the high records
of November so. The more private
crop reports were eissued, one pub
lished by a New Orleans authority,
placing the yield at 9,959,0 900 bales,
while the other figure was 9,75S,000
bales. These reports seemed to at
tract, comparatively little attention,
and local traders attributed the bulk
of the days selling to further liqui-
dation of old long accounts in prepa-
ration for the governments
crop estimate, which is scheduled for
publication on Wednesday.
One of the private cables received
here during the morning said that
the last long accounts were being
liquidated in Liverpool, but later ad-
vices reported continued weakness in
that market. Port receipts today,

2 YORK COTTON FUTUREs
NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10.-The cotton
market today were commonly supposed to
represent eleventh hour efforts of traders
on the long side to even up over the
governments annual estimate of the crop.
The ring did not absorb the cotton readily
and breaks were sharp. especially on the
opening and again the close. Lowest
prices come in the closing range of sales
and last sales of the day were at net
losses of 131 to 1874 points. The closing
range of sales on January was from
3240 to 3245 cents and the last sale of
that position was at 32.43 cents a pound.
The selling wave had it's start in Liver
pool which stood far under what was
due whom the local market opened. Pri-
waite cables laid the selling to the pres
sure to liquidation of long cotton and to
the political situation in England, On
this side of the water it was thought
that large lines of stubborny held long
contracts were atlast being thrown over
board. local crop estimate of $3.50 900
bales made the selling all the heavier,
although good part of the days selling
pressure appeared to be based on the be-
lief that the government crop estimate
would be above 10000 900 bales
In the early afternoon the steadiest
stage of the entire session developed on
realizing by shorts and during it, prices
rose approximately half a cent pound
from the lowest, but this hard spot soon
became the target for renewed selling of
importance and the pressure lasted to the
close.
