Tour opening deposit may be one Dec. 3 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.

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.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS Strong Rally In Wheat Prices, Duo to Improved Demand for Flour. Corn and Oats Up, Provisions Down. 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%.

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.
