New Orleans, Dec. 14.—Cotton fu
tures opened steady, unchanged to 2 '
points up compared with yesterday’s
close. Cables were about as due. A
fair demand was lit evidence in the
early trading, much of it coming from !
commission houses which was taken to ,
mean that the country had sent In '
buying orders over night. The weath
er map again showed too much rain
in the cotton region and the bear side
displayed some nervousnees because of
it. At the end of the first half hour
of business prices were 2 to 8 points 
over yesterday’s close, December show
ing the most strength, y
The market was very steady
throughout the morning session with
all offerings readily taken up except
for a short time toward noon when
there was a flurry of selling on the
rumor that the National Ginners’ As
sociation was coming out with a re- j
port of 13,700,000 to 13,000,000 bales i
of cotton ginned up to December 12. j
This caused scalpers to go short for ^
a turn and also brought out moderate [
liquidation of the long interest. At j
the highest the trading nionths were |
10 to 12 points over yesterday’s close.
At noon they were 4 to 6 points over.
The market seemed to be rather
firmer toward midday with December
contracts selling about 18 points net
higher on continued covering while
later months gradually worked
through the resistance encountered
around 8.88 for May owing to further
covering, foreign trade buying. Prices
at midday were about 9al8 points
above yesterday’s closing.
Spot nominal.
Reports from Memphis that the re
turns to the National Ginners’ Associa
tion indicated a ginning of 960,000
bales for the first period in December
was followed by a recatlon of 5 or 6
points after midday but the market
soon firmed up- again on renewed cov
ering and ruled about 10 to 20 points
above the closing figures of yesterday.

New York, Dec. 14.—(Wall Street)—
Heavy trading in U. S. Steel continued
when the market opened today. Bid
ding at the outset was unusually keen
and on the initial transactions of 15,-
000 shares the price bounded up to 67
1-4 from last night’s close of 66 3-8.
The price wa» advanced quickly to 67
1-2. The general market showed a fair
degree of strength, although gains
In most cases were small. Tennessee
Copper and Pressed Steel Car ad
vanced a point and American Car and
Foundry lost 1.
Enthusiasm manifested in steel and
copper groups carried up the whole
market temporarily but when U." S.
Steel began to be supplied freely prices
gave way rapidly, U. S. Steel bounded
up to 68 and then fell back steadily
until it reached 67 1-8. One block of
9,300 shares sold at 67 3-8. On the
reaction some of the leading railroad
stocks receded a point or more with
Union Pacific falling to below yes
terday’s closing.
Further heavy buying; of United
States Steel stimulated the market for
a time this morning, although the
movement was not of long duration.
The steel sharefr reached the highest
figure since September. A large part
of the buying was attributed to the
demand from the short hiterest. Sell
ing pressure Increased toward noon.
U. S, Steel fell to 66 3-4.
Bonds irregular.
The tone of the whole market be
came better in the afternoon with
business showing a marked increase
on the recovery. Louisville ft Nash
ville went off 2 5-5 in short order
but later made up half of its lose.
Profit taking sales on the announce
ment that American Agricultural
Chemical had been placed on a four
per cent dividend basis cancelled moat
of its forenoon advance. The rest of
the list was without conspicuous
shange.
Realizing caused a reaction In the
late trading and the closing was
quiet.

Cslca^o, III.,-Dec. 14.—It was main
ly a scalping market today in wheat.
An Indecisive character attached to
most of the news so that prices took
no well defined course. The opening
was a shade to l-8al-4 lower. May
started at 97 5-8 to 97 3-4 the same
change from last night as the market
taken altogether. There was a rally,
however^ to 97 7-8 and then a reaction
to 97 5-8.
Scattered selling proved enough to
make cMm e*»y. May otiened Unchang
ed to 1-8 higher at 63 3-4 to 63 7-8 and
declined to 63 6-8,
Oats flagged owing to absence of
demand. May started the same as last
night to a shade lower at 4^1-8 to 49
l-8al-4 and descended to 48 6-8
Foreign condkipn statements had a
depressing effect on provisions. IFrst
sales of product were 2 1-2 to 7 1-2
down with May delivery 1600 for pork,
927 1-2 to 930 for lard and 850 for
ribs. 1
Larger receipts northwest counted
against wheat. The close was steady
with May at 97 3-8al*2, a loss of 3-8
net.
A bullish Iowa state report help
ed com. Closing figures were easy
though at 63 8-8al-2 for May, a de
cline of l-4a3-8 from last night.

Weather Condition*.
Two areas of nigii pressure appear
on the map today* one over the Middle
Atlantic coast, and another over the
central Pacific states, with a ridge of
high pressure across the country from
east to west, connecting the two. A
consequent fall in temperature has
occurred"^over t^se sections. Over
the Northwestem states is a baromet-^
ric depression, with cloudiness and
somewhat warmer weather. Over the
lower Mississippi valley is another low,
thi» one being accompanied by cloudi
ness and unsettled weather over the
fiouth and southeast, and rain over the
states bordering on the west Gulf and
lower Mississippi river. Unsettled
weather conditions are likely to con
tinue in this vicinity, with rain tonight
and probably Friday. >

City Bonds Sell
Well in Ihe North
**lhe Bonds are Sellmg Well
Ana the City*s Credit is
Fine,*" Says Mayor C. A
Bkmd.
Mayor Bland returned from New
York and Philadelphia this moming.
He has been North for the past week
in connection with the Issue and sale
of the city bonds. In connection with
the matter he found that the bonds
were selling well and the credit of the,
city fine. In discussing the matter, he
said:
‘It is really very encouraging to
see how much those New Yorkers do
know libout Charlotte. Why, you would
have no idea that we are so well
known there! Charlotte’s credit is fine.
The bonds are going without the slight
est trouble. Most of them are being
sold In New York, though a few are
being scattered over the country. The
American Trust Company deserves our
thanks in the matter. They have han
dled them very creditably.”
While la Philadelphia Mayor Bland
met Mr. Cattell, who was in this city
some time ago with the Philadelphia
Fencibles,-Mr,Cattell took Mayor Bland
to the administration building and intro
duced him to Mayor Blackenburg, of
Philadelphia. The latter was elected
mayor on the reform ticket.^
The two mayors—representing the
two Independence cities of America—
Chariotte and Philadelphia—found
that beside patriotism they had much
in common.
Mayor Bland Is enthusiastic over the
cordiality of Mayor Blackenburg, and
his right-hand man, Mr. Cattell—so
pleasantly remembered In Charlotte.
Of Mayor Blackenburg, Mayor Blan^
said: “He is a fine man and is doing
a' good work.”
