COTTON LETTERS

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 1.-The mar ket ruled quiet and within a narrow range today, showing no decided ten dency for the present, and will likely require new developments to move val ues one way or other. Dullness in the spot department and in the cotton goods divisions was due to buyers and sellers being virtually apart buyers refusing to raise and sellers decline to lower their limits, business being restricted in con- sequence. Already exports from the United States are S77.000 larger than to even date last year, will likely continue large and probably be about one mil lion in excess of last year by January first. Aside from the need of large supplies of American raw cotton in all cotton consuming countries of the world, due to the shortage of manufactured goods, the comparative low price of cot ton and the abundant supply of fast dyes now available, spinners everywhere are in position because of these con- ditions and their improved working margin, than they have been in for past several years to develop and ex- tend their trade. On the other hand, the southern cotton producer Is in a position to hold his cotton for fair price This years crop is first good crop in four years and the south Is en- titled to a fair price for its products under the circumstance.-H. and B.

GRAINS UNDERGO MATERIAL DROP Setback Is Largely Due To Sales To Realize
 Profits
c111cAco Dec. 11.-Grain values here

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Grain values here underwent A material setback today largely on account of profit-taking sales and because of lower quotations on wheat at Liverpool Closing prices Tor wheat in Chicago were easy, 10 lA 1.44M to 1.44A, with corn 1la to 2h OIL oats M to 1c down and provisions show ing 10 to 200 decline:
 Apparently a majority of wheat trad ers were acting on prevalent opinloh that in view of the recent long con tinued upturn in prices a reaction was overdue It was evident at any rate that at least for the time-Deing puy- CTS were showing notable disposi- tion to await declines before taking hold. Sentiment was also bearishly af- fected by a report that the movement of new Argentine wheat was develop ing volumes earlier than had been ex- pected. .... CT as a handicap to rr1enas or nisne saet prices for wheat, and so did the iact that European demand for wheat to- day seemed to be confined chiefiy to wheat from Canada. On the other hand some of the early sellers of wheat turned buyers on the decline ana IL was pointed out that receipts today at oo- nestle primary terminals were less man half as large as. week ago. Esu- mates were made also that in the last 4s hours 500 carloads of wheat had been loaded out of the elevators here.
 Reports of rain in parts of Argen- tina gave a downward trend to corn and oats. Besides, country offerings Of corn were larger and commission house selling of corn was persistent.
 Provisions were weak, sympatnizins with grain.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec 1.-While the cotton market was quiet today, there was a trifle more activity shown, particularly in the afternoon. Fluctua- tion were not wide, but the spread was a little larger than for some days. After easing off during the morning follow ing a slight gain at the opening until March was 15 points under the previous close, the market recovered the loss and something more besides, finally closing at a net gain of points.
 At the start as cables were better than due the local market opened to 5 points higher. This gain was soon in creased to to 10 points, but rumors of financial trouble in Wall Street soon started prices on the down grade. Al though the rumor was soon denied the market remained comparatively easy throughout the morning. Prices rallied during the afternoon and made new highs for the day for December and all f the late positions from May forward. The close was at net gains for the day of points on December to four points on other winter months and to 17 points on the later months.
 The rally during the afternoon was based partly on the demand for spots and the heavy exports for the day, coupled with a more bullish undertone created by reports of gins turning out very light weight which tended to re- duce the ginnings and confirm the gov- ernment's recent moderate crop esti- mate.
 Exports for the day totalled 53697 bales of which total Galveston contrib uted 27,093 bales.

COTTON LOSES
 EARLY ADVANCE
Prices Firm Up On Late Covering, With Close
 Slightly Higher

. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-A slight open ing advance was followed by reactions in the cotton market but prices firmed up again on covering and trade buy ing, with the close steady at net gains of 3 to 23 points. March contracts sold off from 23.2s to 23.o6 and closed at 23.23. The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of II points in response to relatively steady Liverpool cables and bullish overnight spot advances from the south. Liver pool was an early buyer here, with covering and a moderate trade demand, but after selling at 22.90 for January and 23.66 for May, the market turned easier under liquidation by recent buy CTS who appeared to be disappointed over the failure of demand for cotton goods to develop more rapidly.
 Southern selling also was reported on the decline, which carried prices off to 22.66 for January and 23.41 for May, or about IA to 15 points net lower but buying on resting orders for the trade around and below the 23h cent level for May deliveries steadied the market. Offerings tapered off, In the afternoon, prices working up toward the close on further trade buying ana covering. Last prices were within 5 or points of the best.
 Several reports were received here from the south claiming that the basis was firm, and a telegram from New Orleans said there was better de- mand both there and in the interior Some traders regarded this as indicat- ing that cotton shippers still had cot ton to buy to fill out December en- The late afternoon rally also was promoted by rumors that many contracts sold recently on the declines had been absorbed by the trade.
 Private cables reported a quiet, mar row market in Liverpool.
 New Orleans was buyer here during ing the afternoon, believed to be for the purpose of undoing old straddle accounts.
 Exports today 55,269 making 3,59s,- lO6 so far this season. Port receipts today 52,324. U. s. port stocks 1,665,- 331.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Reactionary tendencies predominated in today's ses- sion of the curb market although clos ing quotations generally were above the low levels of the day. Oil shares continued to aid to selling inspired by unfavorable trade developments, but eX- cept for declines of a point or in Imperial of Canada, Ohio and Prairie oil and Gas, (new), the net losses in the active issues were held to fractions.
 The Radio shares moved within mar row and irregular limits, the only change of any consequence being a drop of 1 point in DeForrest. Com monwealth Power recovered its three point loss of the day before, fluctua- tions In the other public utilities be- ing of nominal nature. There was good demand for Nickel Plate com mon which advanced more than a point to 66 on the assurance of the Van Sweringen brothers that the merger plans would go through.
 A slight gain in Lehigh Valley Coal certificates was offset by loss of near ly 1h in Pittsburg Terminal Coal. Spec ulative interest in the mining group was confined to few penny issues.

BONDS REACT;
 SALES HEAVY
Government Issues Bear Brunt Of Pressure,
 Early In Session

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Bond prices reacted sharply today on heavy selling inspired by apprehension over the trenu of money rates and contradictory re- ports regarding prospective increase in the federal reserve banks rediscount rate. Total sales exceeded $25,0OO,OO0. the largest single days volume of busi- ness since early in August.
 Liberty bonds bore the brunt Of sell ing pressure early in the day, some of the government issues dropping al- most half point on fears that the timations from Washington that on change in the rate would be made at present, which were confirmed by the New York banks after the close of market, steadied the bonds most of them sregaining their earlier losses. Trading was unusually heavy in this list, the total turnover approximateing S1O 900 of which more than 6,000, 900 was accounted for by sales of the fourth 4As. .J"

COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-The cot- ton market opened steady Thursday morning with some buying in evidence. Sentiment remains bearish and a small advance was met by additional offer ings which prevented an advance. Liv- erpool was about penny points better than due, with spot sales 1000 bales of which 2s00 were American. An early cable said Professional market trade houses free sellers, importers lifting hedges on. depressions." The failure of the goods trade reports to show any improvment is the depressing feature in market. The cotton goods markets everywhere in the country reported quiet. Boston reports the yarn markets quiet also. The weather map Is dry except along the south-Atlantic and east gulf coast. A rumor that consump- ton by American mills for November would show 610,000 bales against 1885, 900 bales last month caused some bull fish feeling in the market, the report is scheduledd to be issued Monday morning.-L. and A. To S. R. Stewart.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-It has been another day without change of senti- ment. It may be said, however, that more people are becoming impressed with the refusal of the market to de- cline under the shadow of big crop talk, and while they are not yet dis posed to enthusiastically embrace the long side, they are less disposed to put out short commitments. The demand for the actual in the south continues good and the basis steady. The con- sumption report on money is awaited as some kind of a measure of the improved demand for cotton and it is our belief that a great deal more cot ton is being consumed than is gener- ally realized. -Fenner and Beane to Kahn and Virgin.

The Milwaukee State Normal
School wants to know more con-
corning the localities from which its
students come and would like these
localities to know of the achieve
ments of their students at the Nor
NAL. To facilitate this work, sur,
vey has been completed whereby the
students in attendance are classified
according to state and county
Students are selected from each
state and county to form an organi-
cation of all the students from their
locality with the hope that they may
keep the school in touch with the
home activities and keep those at
home advised as to the achieve
ments of their representatives at
school Reporters are selected from
each community whose duty it is to
supply the local papers with regular
news service.
The survey shows that Of the :
119 students enrolled, 1,067 come
from Wisconsin; 80 from Michigan
eight each from Iowa and Illinois
one each from Montana and North
Dakota, and one from Canada. The
large and diversified enrolment is
partly explained by the appeal Of
the special departmental work, the
/ location of the Normal in a large
city and its convenient raih oac
facilities
Though a comparatively large per
4 centage of the students from Wis
consin come from territory imme-
diately adjacent, the survey shows
