Middling here was 584 cents, with gales of
1W bales for export and sixty for spin
ning. New Orleans sold 4,500 boles. Fu
tures there were 5 points lower. New
York declined 6 points and closed quiet
and steady with sales of 108,600. The ex
ports from the ports footed up 60.500 bals.
New Orleans bought a little here lo&ty
and local shorts coveted. There was more
or less long liquidation. We are unable
to see how prices can take other than a
downward direction as long as the enor
mous movement of the crop contlnnes.
Commercial and speculative business Is
restricted just now to very moderate lim
its, and under such circumstances the
large receipts strike the market with tel
ling force, and about the only bull argu
ment Is the cheapness of the price. .The
chances are that it will be still cheaper,
however. • ' <

By Special Wire to Lyon 1 ’ * James.
Chicago, Dec. 17.—On the heavy Increase
of 2,194.000 bushels in thb‘visible supply
May wheat sold down to 58%. a decline
of 7ft of a cent. The market, howmter,
was not a weak one, the loss being no
more than could reasonably bo expected
‘on such un Increase, ^he' news In genre.r-’
al was of a bearish tjharacter. Traders*
not large. We stfll have as much faith
as ever In The situation.. A large part ot
the increase was in the Northwest. *Atln-
neapolls and Duluth/ owing to 'closing
down of mills, consequently it is not phe
nomenal. Cables were somewhatiConAleb
ing, though on the whole Indifferent. Or
passage there was an* Increase of 123,004
bushels, while Engtand’d vifclble supply
show’s an increase of 116.000 bushels, which
is not largo In view of the recent large
Bailie shipments and would indicate that
the feeding of wheat to animals la still
going on at no-small rate. Local opera
tors are Inclined to bear the market. The
clearances were free.» -Primary deetpts
wee only 451,000 bushels.
Corn, the forepart of tho session was
held fir mrcgardless of the increase ot
320.000 bushels on pasaigc and sixteen'cars
excess In the local receipts. As the
slon advanced, however, selling bfccame
more general and prices gradually eased
>n the 122.000 bushels increase in local
stocks and 1.170,000 bushels Increase In the
visible supply, with promise of more lib
eral receipts. There was no apparent
raiding and the market was held steady,
the decline being but a natural one, the
influence being against prices.
Provisions showed a fair • advance at
the opening on the light run of hogs at
the yards, the receipts being 10,000 under
expectations. The liberal offering of ribs
the latter part of the session, however.*
caused a trifle easier feeling, though the
closing was quiet and steady. f?he iriar-

STEVENS’ COTTON LETTER.
New York, Dec. 17.—An Alpine ava
lanche of cotton poured down on th«
porta and interior towns today eind flwept
prices to a lower level. Besides the enor
mous receipts—unparalleled for Ahls time
of y#ar—there was a decided decline In
Liverpool and the estimated arrivals
were decidedly liberal and Nelli Bros. Ire-
affirmed their crop estimate of 10.250.000
bales. A report that Indian will soon ex
tend the 6 per cent, duty on cotton goods
I to those produced In England was also
1 a depressing factor. Europe sold moder
ately. Thus far this week the port 're
ceipts are 128,138, or about 18.000 more thin
for the same time last week, and the
total for the week is estimated at 350,000
to 360,000 bales, against 342,127 last week
and 290,172 for the same, week last year.
If this U not richness what Is? Liverpool
declined 3H to 4 points and closed dull.
The spot sales were 8.000 bales at un
changed prices. In Manchester, yarns
were dull and steady, cloths quiet. New
Orleans’ receipts tomorrow are estimated
at 20.000 to 23,000, against 22.6* on the same
«hy last week and 26.0C6 last year. Port
receipts today. 78.317, against C/FO last
week and 53,906 last year. Memphis
reived" 8.447. against 6,285 last week
5,397 last year. Houston received 10,506,
llfelos* and this fact alone would have
been enough to make the price of cotton
sag.
However, as Is always the result of ex
treme depreciation or buoyancy In values,
the pendulum has swung too far.
The price of cotton has declined even
beyond what the unfavorable conditions
and depreciating Influences have warrant
ed. It Is Impossible to make cotton of no
value. - It does not deteriorate with age.
nor go out of fashion—the whole world
uses It and there la no substitute for It.
It la now below the cost of production
and that anomaly Is bound to correct.
Itself. ' • • .
At present the statistical position.of the
cfop 4s by no means unfavorable, and
even though the current crop, should
prove aa great as tWe* largest estimates
dlalm It will be. consumption ts increasing
every day and the coming demand .will In

supply. • • • • * • • ' • ■ ••*<• *

! Tht writer heard a Twiggs county

cotton ah this time is the talke.d-of
imposing of a duty of 5 per oent. by
the Eng.lsh gov'ernmeut from aianchts-
ter to India on cotton goods. II; Is al&o
rumored that the Russian government
has threatened to increase tho duty on
American cotton, because It interftrea
with uhc product of Asluldc Russia. The
sale at auction of 27,000 cases of cotton
goods in New York at about this time,
the heavy receipts which have alriady
broken the record cm this crop, both to
the ports and Interior movemtnt, u<nd
which hid fair to be even larger Uhls

because he gives our friends the truth.
The bulla say that, admitting this
crop win be 9,500,00, which Is accepted
as an easy estimate now; UiaD tht pres
ent prices discount are even larger, and
that the cotton being bought, for in
vestment. will prevent any strious de
cline. and ultimately bring about an
advance.
Th?y also say that the reduction In
the acreage next season must necessari
ly be kirge and thalt the sale* of fertil
izers is small, showing a falling off of
probably 50 per ctnt., and that the

The price of cotton la now 2.28 cents
cheaper than last year and 4.15 cents
oheaper than In 1892 for March contracts.
The many causes that have combined
during the last year to produce the heavy
decline In cotton from an already low
level compared with previous prices, may
be briefly summarized as follows:
First of all. the long and profltless dis
cussion of th* tariff question by the last
congress produced such widespread un
certainty and general discouragement In
all banches of business that all values,
both of manufactued products and raw
material* depreciated greatly. Cotton
felt this depressing influence, aa did wheat
and other cereals.
Secondly, the cotton crop of last year
exceeded general expectations, and since
September 1 of the present year large
stlmates of the current crop have been
almost unlversilly made, and the rapid
movement of the crop from plantations
to the porta has tended to confirm these
estimates.
In addition to these adverse factors In
the case, speculation has been absolutely

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Dee. 17.—Wheat had another
break today, the weakness becoming
prominent during the last hour. Prices
had considerable to contend with, but
they succeeded in maintaining a fair pro
portion of strength during the early part
of the session. Anally yielding to the
weight of selling which became more pro-
nounced after the “put” price was passed,
Saturday's sellers of those privileges run
ning from the wheat which was likely
to be “put’* to them. The close was steady
steady at a fractional recovery. May
wheat opened from 58% to 58%a%, sold
between 59 and 58% .closing at Wiaft—14
to S of a cent lower than Saturday. Taab
wheat wfta duller. Trading was light.
The nominal close waa weaker with the
futures.
Corn.—The news and the weather were
adverse to strength in corn today. The
shorts, who were so perturbed on Satur
day, .were complacent sellers today and
holders were less confident. May corn
opened from 50ft to 59. sold between 80*4
and 49H. closing at the inside—*4 of a cent
undsr Saturday. Cash com was quiet and
changed, closing nominally weak.
Oats moved down a trifle with the other
grains. The business was dull and life,
less. No feature of not developed. May
closed ft of a cent under Saturday. Cash
oats were dull and without ohange.
Provision* -An advance in product
which was scored at the opening on the
strength of the live hog market was well
