000, and for the occasion a new rose,

fashioned of plaster pnrls and deco
rated lined the room. They were built

Plnb. which represents the cotton mill In
terests of New England, had formally
voted to curtail production 25 per c«ut In*-
tween uow nnd March 1. Ill order to re
lieve—nt least, that Is what Is said—condi
tions In the cloth markets «f New York,
Chlriigo, Boston nud other large centers.
The quantity of raw material which corre
sponds to tills reduction In consumption Is
not very formidable, about 99,000 hnles, but
of course the moral effect told on the mar
kets. opening about 7 point* down, prices
soon showed a loss of 12 points and luck of
support at the decline was greatly in evi
dence. Apprehension expressed in leading
financial articles about the settlement of ob
ligation* due it round New Year also af
fected the feeling. The coincidence of a
heavy port movement at prosent gives rise
to the thought tlint banks are forcing hold
er* to sell. The small gain In stocks shows
Gmt this port ntor«tnent consists of sold
cotton moving to destination, it mny be
that things are being painted much darker
than they* really are. but of coarse with
ureserif surroundings speculation Is llkelv
To hold back for positive facts, or until
reassured during the first week of Jan
uary. The spot market is very uufet, and
of course lower to sell If a list has to be
sold, lint there Is no unusual pressure
this kind here. ..
New \ork. Dee. 27.—J. >8. Bnche Sc i «
The market was put under pressure this
morning after the call her.mse of the wide
circulation of the reports of closing down
of nlmut 85 |M*r cent of the New England
mill* for the winter. Fears were entertain
ed of u bnd slump In price*, but the very
quiet tnarkut with only small declines In
the first hour gave the bull* some ourour-
ngemeut. It mny have been the hoddov
ehnraeter of tin* market Hint gave It such
n quiet tone. The early dip only amounted
to nbotit 6 to 9 i»oliits. After n quiet period
prices rallied in a leisurely manner. We see
no reason to get frightened over the action
of the mills. The planter In the South will
not get frightened by this action. Con
certed efforts will lie made by farmers as
sociations generally to reduce Acreage the
coming spring.
