Comparative Receipts In Macon.
.York, qotton Letter.
..JMHHlL'TOfcJBJ-JThe coUHH
ket opened biny'dt a decline oMA7 points
which was only a partial response to weak
cables. It looked ns though Wall street
was covering shorts, representing possibly
tho operations of parties who hnd botn
caught long of stocks and short of cotton
by the blg.break In the stock market and
needed their cotton profits to assist them
in taking care of commitments In securi
ties. This demand led to a steady market
most of tho morning, with prices grad
ually working up to about the closing
level of yesterday. Around midday there
was a wave of bear pressure, and n de
cline to shout the previous low level,
but In the afternoon the market again
steadied up on covering and was finally
very steady at a net advanco of 7a3
^Sale’s were estimated nt 250.000 hales
The afternoon advance was promoted hi
the steadier Southern spot markets, fur
exports and liberal Interior shipments as
compared with receipts. Another factor
that undoubtedly exercised considerable
Influence and caused covering by timid
shorts was the report that a Southern
newspaper had published a letter from a
cotton -glnner to tho effect that he *'er-
sonally had misunderstood Instructions or
the government’s request for Information
and had reported the amount of cotton
ginned on November 29 Instead of Novem
ber 13. The party In question claims that
the mistake was general and that the
report of the census bureau was mislead
ing as to the volume of cotton ginned to
November 13 by about 700.000 bales. -
Conservative people here seemed In
clined to discredit the statement. After
the close of the market, however, trans
actions were made unofficially at an ad
vance of 9 9to 10 polnta from the closing
figures, and New Orleans ruled
during the late trading.
nd held the advance well,
. .. a point or two before the
session closed. January opened 10 polnta
lower than yesterday’s, closing at 7.48.
sold up to 7 66. ami before the.excitement
abated the ffriq* went up to 7.78. a gain
to ISpouiU, and finally eased off to T.76.
The market closed strong, with net gains
of 14 to 17 points.
Ware &. Leland’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dee. 8.—'There was very
little change In the cotton market this
morning. The covering demand.seemed
to be sufficient to offset tho pressure,
and tho market was ac a standstill roost
of the day. The South seemed- to be
holding Its own Very well, snd there was
no stampede as many had anticipated.
The market Is now Just 10 cents lower
than It was less than a year ago. Never
In the history of cotton speculation has
cotton sold at 17.60 and 7.50 the same
year. As the country wag speculatively
cotton made at 17.50. every one Is bearish
at 7.50, and-yerlly It looks as though they,
too. would have their reward. Few seem
to bo able to get far enough away from-
the day’s business to realise what Is rep
resented by a difference of 10 cents.
There Is no reason for cotton to be sell
ing around 7 cents. There Is no compari
son with other prices at any such figure
as thl* It will take some time for the
trade to recover from the blow, but the
present depression cannot last Indefinite
ly. There la no reason to he short of cot
ton with New York at 7% cents. It will
he found that cotton has some value even
though the crop is a large one. • When tho
trade begins to recover from the attack
of fright there will be a very different
feeling abroad.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—In Europe, the
tendency Is to look for lower prices,
while here the Idea prevails that for thr
moment the South will hold their cotton,
and that it Is this Idea which has caused
the Improvement here In tho face of the
ndvetwo foreign advices. Covering on n
large seale has been In progress all day
for various different accounts. The eatl-
mate that fully 50.000 bales have been
covered here today principally 'for tho
uccount of Wall street parties. This cov
ering on a small market haa given
strength and led the local trndo to look
for a sharp reaction In Liverpool tomor
row. There has been little or no buying
for spinners’ account.
Macon Brokerage Co.'s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dee. 8.—The mnrket for
cotton futures opened easy In tffno with
prices generally 6 to 7 points lower, tho
cables were weak and the private news
from flhrpad wan uncertain. Tho trndo
was falrlY- active, hut local Interests sold
moderately/ As the day wore .on Irreg
ularity developed and It Was evident that
some of the professionals were scalping
the market. New Orlenna Interests ap
'd to be selling stuff here and the
street interests were buyers. Shorts
disposed to cover on the dips, hut
tho demand from this source waa not es-
last week arid 43.485 bales last year. For
the week 380.000 bales against 887.467
bales last week and 332.316 bales last
vear. Today’s receipts at New Orleans
were 14.911 bsles against 10.887 bales last
yrsr and at Houston 11,000 bales against
12,777 bales last year.

NEW YORK STOCK LETTER.
NEW YORK. pec. A violent squall
swept over the stock market today which
wrought havoc while It lasted, but which
disappeared*almost ns quickly ns It came.
A review of the day's net changes re
veals not a few gains an# even the worst
of the losses are confined to moderate,
proportions. Unfortunately for thoso who
sold their stocks, either from fright at
the crumbling tendency of prices 0 r from
necessity to repay borrowed money, the
flqal prlcen of tho day by no means rep-
tcsented the prices at which the largest
part of the day’s sales were made. There
was a time during the market when there
was no Apparent demand for stocks at
any price.
Orders to sell a few hundreds nf shares
could only be executed At concessions of
1 to 3 points from the preceding sale
Colorado Fuel fell an extreme 11%, Amal-
R mated Copper 10, Tennessee coal 9%,
ike Erie and Western 8%. St. Paul 7"4.
Brooklyn Transit 7%. United Slates Steel
preferred 784, 8t. Louis Southwestern 7.

Pacific 5Vi, Missouri Pacific 5*4. Metro
politan Street Rnllwny 6%. Metropolitan
Securities 5 Consolidated Oas 6*4. Louis,
vllle and Nashville 4?i. and many others
lesser amounts.
These low prices represent a drop from
the high level of this week on Mondav of
such figures as 24 for Amalgamated Cop
per. 21 for Colorado 1 Fuel. 15»* for Tennes
see Coni. 1184 for United Stntes Steel pre-
ferred. 11% for Union Pacific. 14*4 for
Sugar. 12% for Brooklyn Transit, and 12
for 8t. Paul. The source of the selling
was not accurately known, and It seemed
to come from widely distributed sources.
The call money rnto went slightly above
tho season’s previous maximum -hut ss
everybody was liquidating loans, the act
ual suoplv of eaah was being replenished
Instead of depleted. f lhe severe break In
the foreign exchange "market reflected a
quick resort.to that source of relief and
there were largo offerings of hankers'
finance hills In that market. London's
heavy absorption of our stocks on th<
break "also'made a targe supply of ex
chamfer. Tha same trap, true of foreign
pjirehnscjv of cotton and grain on the
break fit those markets under the re.
fleeted pressure from the stock mnrket.
The extreme weakness of Amalgamated
Cnpper had a reflex effect In the market
for copper metal both here and In Lon-
don.
There was the usual gathering of bsr-
gnln hunters on nny Severe break In
prices of storks and there waa evidence
of Investment buying of a more suhstan
tlnl and sustained rhnraoter. The Im
nrnvement In the health of the mnrket
hy reason of tho sweeping out of weak
holders was very obvious In the late deal
ings. There was no serious consideration
of news developments, the npcculntlvo
Inflation and Its runtura being held to
amnly account for tho break.
Tho bond mnrket waa affected In sym
pathy with stocks, hut In lews degree.

ire A Leland’s Grain Letter,
!AGO. Dec. 8.-—There was some
selling In whent early In the day on low-
ier cables and Improved Argentine weath
er. while a smash In York storks
frightened a number nf holders out of
their wheat and Induced hear attacks. It
being evident that the visible will show
another large Increase. The Southwest
markets were strung and there was com
mission house buying In sufficient quan
tity to more than absorb the offerings,
with the belief prevailing that the Ar
mour Interest was the Mg buyer, start
ing shorts to cover with a rush. The
mnrket was very nervous, hut Into In hte
rlay the mnrket turned very strong on
reports of big flour sales In Minneapolis,
the Northwest country elevator stocks
decreasing 9*>0 000 bushels for Novem
ber and 8t. Louis sending In reports of
damage to winter wheat. The market Is
being mantplnted In fine style and should
further advances appear, we would favor
sales.
Coro—There was a good sfced lot of
corn came In, hut sample lots were In ex-
lent demand at %c. advance, while the

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-^Thore waa some
further liquidation In the wheat market
today, the Increased receipts In the North
west belrur largely responsible. There waa
some selling, however, for tho account of
outalde Interests who figured that the hull
pool has disbanded and that the Armour
interests were selling out. The cables
were narrow and the Argentine news
continued conflicting to n marked degree.
The export business was slow :md tho
statistics generally were about ss looked
for.
The corn market showed a semewh.it
better tendency, there being considerable
coveting by the room traders. ,The ca
ble* were steadier and the seaboard re
ported a greater export demand. The re
ceipts were moderate and country Inter
nets offered fair llnee. The market showed
a firm undertone generally, but the bulla
were not very persistent In their efforts
to.brlng about high quotationa.
Oats were steady and the trade mod
erate with the professional Interests In
control.
Provisions suffered from scattered sell
ing. the stock yards interests offering con
siderable Bluff. , Packers did little.
