reports from the South of absence of spot
demand. They paid no attention to the
light receipts at the interior towns, which
were estimated at 80.000 bales against
89.000 bales last year. So many reports
are jufinlshed In the newspapers of plant
ers holding back their cotton, that It
seems to have the effect of driving away
buyers who fear on any advance they
might meet with large offerings of spots.
The^spot market was quiet at 16 points
Cotton Letter.
. NEW YORK. Dec. 19.—The cotton nlK-
kot broke to low figures again today and
was more selling bv tired holders than
for seme time. People are getting rather
skeptical about an advance, and the mar
ket holds so close to the low figures thnt
many are afraid of another break into
new ground. From tho action of the mar
ket lately thero Is very little Inducement
to buy cotton. As to whether It will nay
to sell It, that is another question. But
thero must be some new factor and one
not In sight, so far to bring shout an
• speculation Inst year.-and
inert* i« nui nicely to bo much speculation
for many wool*a to come. There Is evi
dently too much cotton In the 8outh ready
to come out to encourage speculation.
People know cotton la there, nnd why buy
It for higher prices when ft seller ntands
ready to throw It at you on the first nd-
vance? This nrgument Is a strong ono,
and Is a powerful factor In tho market.

New York Cotton Letter,
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—The cotton mar
ket reflected bearish expectations ns tc
the showing of the forthcoming glnners'
report and ruled active as a result of
bear pressure nnd liquidation, with tho
final prices at the lowest level of the
day and season. Tho opening was steady
at an advanco of la5 points in response
to rather better cables than looked for.
The Liverpool market should have been
about unchanged to 3 points lower, but
was net unchanged at tho hour of the
'local opening while spot cotton wan In
moderate demand at an advance of 4
points. The steadying Influence of this
showing, however, was affaet by private
cnbles claiming thnt In sple of small
Southern offerings, the vmdertone was
not favorable, and the local market fulled
to hold tho initial gain. Leading profes
sionals appeared to be hammering the
market all along the line, and shortly
after tho opening prices began to sag off,
followed by New Orleans and the Liver
pool market. After a decline of eomo 9
to 19 points, there was Irregularity around
midday, with the small receipts estimated
' the leading points tomorrow, large
■ rts and private reports of strong spot
holders attracting some support. But
tHo market broke again In the afternoon
and* during the balance of the session
was generally weak, as prices declined
some stop orders were caught and the
market was barely steady at a net loss
of I6a21 points, with Janunry quoted at
7.44. or 6 points below the previous olw
level. Bales were estimated at 250,000
the week 300,000 bates against 326.305
bales last week and 301.314 bales last
year. Today’s receipts at New Orleans

Ware & Leland’s Grain Letter.
CHICAGO. Dec. 19.—There wns a firm
start In wheat with commission hqpscs
buying on the strength In Minneapolis,
lighter receipts and bullish foreign sta
tistics. European marxets did not din-
lay any strength, hut the crowd wns
•ulilsh and bought in anticipation of n
holiday bulge, with the nppearnneo of
some of the local heavy weight taking tho
long side of tho market. The Increase
In the visible induced selling, the cosh
situation In the Routhwest wns not tx
favorable factor by any means, wbllo
It wns notlcenble that thero were 66.1 cars
of Manitoba wheat In Minneapolis today.
Thero was a slight recovery near the
close, but the market displayed very
little snap, although on stiff advances
we would favor sales.
Corn—Liverpool was unchanged; less
domnnd fdr spots, 1,025 cars here today
and 937 estimated for tomorrow. Induced
declines of % to %c. on samples, with
good demand, while a prominent cnmmls.
slon house was a good seller of December
nil day with scalpem selling May. thst
met with a good commission house de
mand despite advices of Increased re
ceipts.
Oats, were In large supply and %e.
lower for samples but met a good de
mand, while May wns freely offered at
31 %e. and Induced selling by scalpers.
Provisions—The hog market was native
and higher, shipments of lard and meats
over Inst year. There was some commis
sion house selling of pork, hut tho Cuda-
In a very conservative way nnd nre evi
dently waiting for a further decline, which
the I Mom bleached has been advanced to
7%c. Jobbers’ stock-taking operations
leaves the market with small purchasers.
