a feature of tho day. and much time
was given up to pleasure. However,
the- tone of tho market aa a whole was
rather steadier. The opening was easy
with first prices 3 to 5 points lower, this
decline being a response to fair liquida
tions. Some of yesterdays buyers were
disappointed over the sluggishness of the
English market and they dumped their
cotton early, fearing a further onslaught
by the bears. 8pot houses, however v had

NEW YORK. Dec. 22 —In spite of In
terruption in trodlng as a result of tho
ipenslon of business for an hour imme-
toly following the noon call for the
annual Christmas tree festivities, during
which some 138 presents were distributed
among the members of the exchange,
each one of which wns cunningly con
trived to touch on some Individual pecul
iarity and the presentation of which was
accompanied hv nil kinds of skylarking
and hilarity; business for the day was
moderately active, with sales estimated at
ubout 250,000 bales.
Fluctuations were Irregular, not changes
being a small loss. The market opened
easy nt a decline of 3a5 points under
liquidation by yesterday's late buyers,
following poorer Liverpool cables than
anticipated. Owing to the bullish news
that had been sent by Liverpool the pre
vious day. and talk of an advance of
slight encouragement, the local trade had
expected that tho English mnrket would
this morning mako Quite a Arm showing
Instead, Liverpool prices nt the hour of
the local opening, were 3 to 4 points low
er, and It was said that tho easier ten
dency was owing to selling for the ho
count of the same spot people who lia«
bought here on the day before. After thi
opening, however, there was a considera
ble demand.
Spot houses appeared to be buying and
wire houses wero evidently covering
shorts for out-of-town clients. Trices
gradually worked up uptll about 2o points
over the low level of tho previous day
when there wns realisation nncl tho mar
ket, t°*'ard midday, quieted down with
irlces ubout 5 or « points down from the
.op. After the celebrations, there was a
renewal of bear pressure, led by promt
nent floor brokers, and tho market wui
barely steady at a closing decline of 6
to 7 points.
Receipts of cotton nl tho Port* today
Were 46T656 hales again it 57.4t5 bales last
week, and 34.057 bales last year. For
the week 295.000 .bales against 324.30ft
