New York, Dec. s.—l.ondon sent a sensa
tional rumor about Atchison before the open
ing hour, cable advices alleging that a re
ceivership was imminent. It was said that
Atchison had been unable to borrow to meet
the <.3,700.000 interest due on Jan. i next, in
addition the railway earnings to hand for the
fourth week and month of November were
uniformly unfavorable. London backed its
opinion < f Atchison's financial condition by
selling something like 10.000 shares of the
stock. Atchison securities sold at
their lowest in the first hour of
business when the stock touched 18'* and
the fours 47. At the figures given the securi
ties show losses of 2V'//3 , 3 percent., com
pared with yesterday s tinal sales. The fall
ing off in railroad earnings led to a recession
of Vz<&\ v i per cent, in other issues. After mid
day General Electric Sugar Big Four and
Western Union were in demand, rising *i(g2
percent.. Sugar hading. In the last hour of
business General Electric, Cotton Seed Oil,
Western Union and St. Paul and
Omaha developed weakness and sold
at the lowest point of the day.
General Electric fell to 33, the lowest
point of the week, and the debenture 5 s

'I he total sales were 195.000 shares. Net losses
ran ir >m '4 to ” i>er cent. Sugar, however,

to sell Atchison abated when it was an

day were unexpectedly favorable to the bull
interest, and this fact, together with consid
erable covering of shorts, caused an advance 1
of Bto 10 points. The receipts are running a
litt-e behind those of last week. The course
of the market, it is believe 1. will be governed
by the crop movement, which, it is predicted, j
will soon show a fulling off. The close was '
lirm. Sales 163.200 bales. Liverpool de 1
dined 1 to 2 points, but recovered this
and advanced 1 point, closing steady, with
spot sales of 10,CtD bales at unchanged prices.
In Manchester quotations for yarns were
barely supported, anil offers for cloths were
scarce. New Orleans advan ed 9to 11 points.
Spot cotton here was dull and unchanged,
with sales of 212 bales for spinning, and de
liveries on contracts were 500 bales. There
was a decline of 1-16 to > B c at four southern
markets. New Orleans sold 6.600 bales. Re
ceipts at New Orleans to morrow are esti
mated at 14,000 bales, against 10.810 on the
same day last week, and 17.839 last year. Re
ceipts at the ports were 51.616 bales, against
59.426 this day last week, and 52.564 last year.
Total thus far-this week.<165.704. against 169.
078 hales thu* far last week. The exports
from the ports. 13.951 to Great Britain; 5.20 J
to France and 9.048 to the continent. "
New York. Dec. 5. Kiordau A Cos. say of
cotton: “The first report from Liverpool was
less discouraging thun had been expected and
our opening was at a slight improvement.
The first sales of March being at 7.145 c as the
receipts came in showing no excess, as com
pared with this day last season. The bulls
began to breathe more freely and to buy with
less timidity, and prices advanced 3 or 4
points. Biit the feeling during most of the
day was one of extreme nervousness and
doubt. March fluctuating freely between
8(§8.03c. The last half hour an advance at
New Orleans encouraged the bulls and a fur
ther gain of a few points took place. The
close was quite firm, with 8.05 c bid for March.
It may be that we have at last reached the
long expected turn in the market, and that
henceforward the tendency of prices will be
upward. But we would caution our friends
agair s‘acting upon such a theory. A day or
two of receipts like those of Saturday ami
Monday would probably cause a selling move
ment til at would s?nd prices lower than ever.
Nothing less thun several consecutive days
of decreasing receipts will avail to give us an
upward start that will attract confident and
general buying.”
New York. Dec. s.—Atwood Yiolett & Go.
say of cotton to day: “The bear element in
New Orleans, and a very noisy one, is com
posed of about five men. and we say this in
defense of the general feeling there, which is
bullish Their opinions are valueless be
cause. with one exception, they were 7,750.000
ands o 40.000 bale men last year, saying which,
nothing more need be said. At the time
their joint account estimates were issued in
October, the movement became very free al
most immediately after, and thus confirma
tion has been given to some extent, of their
large crop announcements. Two of them have
little or no country correspondence, and the
other three ignore what they have because
there is only one character of crop report
that goes from the interior to anybody wish
ing information concerning the cotton crop.
1 hey still insist practically that the planter
is a fool and does not know what lie is talking
about, when he says that he is not adding
al out 20 to 30*per cent, more to his crop than
what he made last year. Their efforts io de
press the market would be laughable were
not the consequences of high crop
estimates so serious in their effects upon
the minds of the domestic and foreign spin
ners. New Orleans has been abused as the
center of most of the bear talk this season
and this explanation we think is due to that
market. Let us see what an increase over
last year is necessary to make the crop even
r 600,000 bales. The crop of last year was
6.700.<Ki0 bales. It has been generally accepted
that Texas made 2.250.000 bales. To say that
these states other than Te>as are making 30
per cent, more this year than last when most
of them are not making any more, would be a
stretch of the imagination to which the bears
are equal, but perhaps no one else. Assum
ing. however, that this is a fact it would mean
an increase of 1,350.000 bales or 5,850.000 bales
total. '1 he best information that we have, or
can secure through others, here and at New
Orleans, is that Texas will not exceed I.Bob
ooo. Therefore a grand total of of 7T5.4.0U0
bales. With all these impressions we cannot
but think that cotton should be an invest
ment on the basis of 8c for March In this mar
ket. the realization of which, however,
will dep nd upon the extent to which
trade is good or not good, and also for how
long the spinner will stay out of the market,
as he has done tor some time past to so great
extent. This market closed very s cady at
an advance of 10 points from yesterday. Liv
erpool had a better tone to-day. and recovered
the opening decline, and closed 1 point higher
than yesterday. Our crop accounts are al
most withoul exception of t ic same unfavor
able character. Our bear friends, however,
will say that this counts for nothing, and we
would not be surprised to see their crop esti
mate made on the'inverse ratio: that is. the
m >re unfavorable 'he advices the higher w ill
they raise their figures. In order to refresh
tie- memory of our readers, we recall what we
said about tcnday&tdnce. namely, that at the
end of November thero would be in Mght 250 -
(H)0 bales less than on the same dav in 1887.

There was a total absence of support. The
depressing influences were the easier wheat
