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. ' • • .

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.

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.
