Private Wires to Principal Points New York Office Pdacon Office 51 Wall st. 415 Fourth st. 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.

The sta tistics generally wero about as expected, the movement as a whole continuing up to the estimates made enrly In the week. The Indications pointed to a continued good scalping market. 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 Georgia Southern • Railroad com mon stock fteaboard. common Seaboard, preferred Southern Railroad, pref..
