New York Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—The cotton mar
ket ruled narrow and Irregular with Anal
prices showing little change. There was
decrease under last year of 14,000 and an
Increase over tho same period year before
last of 213,000.
the same days of last year 1,082.000 and
ahead of the same driyu year before last
of 1.273.000. _ ,
The amount brought Into sight during
the past week hau been 380.476 bales
against 412.688 bales for the same seven
days last year and 364,134 boles year be
fore last.
The movement since Septenmer 1 shows

rv. Hut at least there la good health,

thankful for In other ways. We have
omitted to mention that there la also
hope which at all times Is an Important
element In tho cotton market. The crop
may be a big one. prices may go somo
lower, but out of it nil will come a
chance to make money before tho year
of 1905 Is very old. And. then, there
is the consolation of thinking how very
much worse things might have boon.
There Is evidently a contest of some
kind going on in the present market.
For tne first time since tho downward
movement began tho hear party la meet
lng with something like persistent resist
nnce. This started from the buying by
the continent, and has been continued
through purohases by tho larger spot In
terests in this country, and enough cotton
has been taken from tho market to start
reactions that were rather uncomforta
ble to shorts. In order to exert pressure,
very large lines of cotton have come on
the market. and last evening, just when
the market was under way to close con
siderably higher, one of the largest opera
tors of tho oenr party came into tho *lt
In person and sold 15,000 bales of March
in the effort to drive prices to a lower
level. The contest was resumed this
morning, and while jrlces have not ad

CHILDREN’S SAVING8.
Are as carefully guarded fie re as
are the large accounts.
You could not make your child or
grandchild a wiser Christmas pres
ent than the gift of one of our
pass-books. This may be secured
by the deposit of as little as ono
dollar.
The ownership of a pass-book
gives a child a feeling of self-re
liance and teaches him the value of
money early in life. This is an in
valuable lesson nnd a life-long
habit of saving—the way to pros
perity—Is sure to follow.
We pay 4 per cent interest.

The total takings of American mills,
North, South nnd Canada than fnr for tho
vanced to any extent, the market Itself
shown a decided different phase from
any presented In some weeks.
Prices have declined to a point where
holders of cotton In tho South absolutely
refuse to consider offers. As a result,
tho movoment this week promises to ho
in the neighborhood of 375,000 bales as
compared with 412,000 bales last year.
There are very large commitments for
January delivery nnd If the grower of
cotton in the South persists In this refusal
to tell his cotton at a sacrifice, there may
be very interesting developments In an
Other six weeks.
While It la not within the power of any
Individual to say just where the turn
cotton is to come from, this much can
bo said with confidence. The bears wll
bo short at the bottom and tho turn wll
ns Inevitable as It was in January
this year. It will take a lonjrer tlmo
will lose Just ns much money. This Is i
Inevitable ns thnt speculation wan
