ket was a little more nctlye than recently
and ruling generally steady and seemed
to reflect not only the covering of shorts,
hut a touch of buying for long account,
Inspired, doubtless, by the steady spot
situation and expectations that spinners
would advance their buying limits.
The opening was steady at an udvance
of ln4 points on covering, due to the
firmer Liverpool spot market, which re
ported an advanco of 6 points with sales
In all of 9.000 bales. The Liverpool future
market showed little feature, but seemed
disposed to follow local quotations, which,
after the opening, moved upward until
Just before midday, the trading level was
some 9 to 12 points net higher. Realizing
set In at this level and reports of a couple
of small hank failures In Georgia also
operated against the market, with the
result that prices worked bark about 6
or 7 points from the best. The declino
attracted fresh support, however, and In
the nftemoon the market firmed to tho
best level of the session or a net gain of
12n13 points on tho active months. Just
before tho close, loom realilzng was
promoted by reports of a Wall street fail
ure, and the market cased off from tho
best. The closo was steady at net 7 to 12
"50 000 bal?8* r ' 8alCS Woro e8t,matcd at
Tho afternoon steadiness was encour
aged by tho official reports from the
Southern spot market, which Indicated
advances In most cases, although business
was evidently small. It was also pointed
out thnt Interior receipts were running
light as compared with ports and ns sug-
>d by this fact, exports continue full.
_~..eral speculation for an advance is
lacking, however, it being feared that
any marked Improvement will bo mot
by increased spot as well as speculative
offerings.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
were 47.R26 bales against 61,877 bnles last
week and 49.274 hales last year. For
tho week 360,000 bales against 385.457
hales last week, and 306,82.1 hales last
year. Today s receipts at New Orleans
wero 14.984 bales against 16,471 bales
last year and at Hou-ton 11,713 bale*
compared with >,113,153 last year. Ex
ports to Great Britain for this rerlod have
bean 1,763.882: to France, 374.934: to the
continent, 1.375.641. The large crop and
the demands of England and the conti
nent are given as the reasons for ths In
crease In shipments from here.
Hubbard Qros. A. Co.'a Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Our market
opened with sales of January at 7.68-69-70
and after selling nt 7.68-80, ruled at 7.77
at 1 p. m. Today’s market lias shown
E trength from the opening, on tho Idea
hat the next gtnners* report will not
show the actual amount glnfied. as many
glnners will refuse to report, on the belief
that the furnishing of such statistics to
the government would cause a further de
cline. This rumor, whether truo or not.
was sufficient to Induce covering of all
local Interests an for several days they
have looked for tho South tc hold for
higher prices. Tho movement fthln week
la still expected to reach the four hun
dred and six thousand holes as against
400,000 hales last year. We do not no
tice any sharp demand from spinners’
brokers, on the contrary contracts held
as hedges has been sold’ here today, as
cotton was bought In the South where
holders are reported to be holding very
firmly nt full prices. Tho spot market
wan steady at la points advance.
Macon Brokerage Co.’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dee. 14.—Tho market for
cotton futuies today continued rather
narrow. The trade was largely profes
sional and tho fluctuations wero of a
character which suggested a disposition
on tho part of local houses to scalp the
market. The Southern Interests wero dis
posed to buy cotton on a moderate scale,
in line with advices from some sections
to the effect thnt country Interests wore
heading for better prices and that actual
consumers would. In the near future, ex
perience some difficulty In locating offer
ings on the present level of prices. The
i! m wore mItiwtfl special feature. Pro
fessional interest:: were noted on both
sides of tho market, and the Indications
pointed to a good trading market.
Tho trade in oats was light, and the
locals generally wero largely In control of
the situation. Tho cash demand wss
moderate an<l the exports was slow.
Stocks generally were figured to bo large.
Provisions were firm In tone. Hogs
wero steady, pit traders were fair buyers.
Packers generally worked on a narrow
basis and did little.
THE DRY GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, Dec. If.—The dry goods
market Is slirowjng signs of increased
firmness. Tho feature has been tho an
nouncement that tho price of Lonadales
would bo advanced to 7%c. tomorrow and
that Fruity have b,5en B Ia c<*d at value.
Sellers generally are not inclined to force
business and look forward to improve

Ware A Ltland’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Dec. 14.—May cotton sold
up to over 8 cents again today, and tho
market produced further evidences of
strength. Considering the offorts mndo
to depress prices, the list has dismayed
more resistance that any one would have
believed on ao largo a government esti
mate. The report that two small bonks
had failed caused some nervousness
among a few traders who run quickly on
the least unfavorable bit of news. That
r bank or two closed Its doors Is not an
Indication that cotton Is now too high.
Tt Is rather bemuse prices have declined
2 cents a pound, a fact nretty well known
by those who have followed the cotton
market for the hist few weeks. nut
that It meant anything more wns hard
to see. The market soon steadied and
Improved up to the carlv afternoon’s
trading. May sold ns high ns K.09, or
within 7 points of the top on last week’s
reaction. January sold nt 7.80. As we
havo pointed out slneo January sold nt
7.60, the brenk has been great enough
to lead any one to play the buying side
on all weak spots. Until January again
touches 7.50. nnd breaks on through,
everything will favor the buyer on de
clines. If we had been on the benr side
at 10 rents nnd right on tho market in
stead of having looked for a moderate
crop, we would not be bearish now under
8 cent* T^ist season, those who stayed
low price. The mnrket Is not likely to
advance very much, and on nnv decline,
the short Interest will cover. Prices nro
not high, and there will be buying enough
*-> keep a steady market for seme time.
NEW .YORK STOCK LETTER.
NEW YORK. Dec. 14.— Another step
wns taken towards tho establishment of
n normal stock market today after thn
paroxysmal fluctuations nf the recent
dealings. But It developed in tho course
of tho day that conditions were not fa
vorable to a rapid upturn to the specula
tive mood existing before the break In
tho market.
Towards thn end of the day tho market
sunk Into a dull nnd listless state not far
from last night’s close. Th^re was noth
ing In the dreumsUnces of the day to
account for the morning advance or tho
afternoon reaction, further than the nat
ural tendency of the market to tea dins
Itself by a series of lessening fluctuation
after such, a commotion ns that to which
It has been subjected. Bensltlvennsc to
the course of Amalgamated Copper was
still perceptible, but not to such ft super-
sensitive degree ft* lately, nnd its yielding
wns the signal of Its abandonment of op
erations for the rise.
The Attempt to move prl<»s upward*
centered conspicuously In the cottiers.
Advances In a number or stocks In the
group extended to 3 or 2% points. Atch
ison was the most conspicuous weak spot
in the market. The decision to Issue
$50,000,000 nf convertible bonds to provide
capital for extensions nnd absorptions
w»is the evident eauso of tho disfavor with
which the stock was viewed. Its drop of
3 points below last night In thn Into mar
ket perhaps helped to drag down tho rest

lots were underestimated, but simple lots
were firm and In good demand, despite
the severe break In Decenf>er that was
caused by the throwing over of large
