The Morning News Office,
Saturday. Nov. 23.
In the absence of positive influences
the cotton futures market did not vary
much to-day from yesterday's closing.
The bears were on the alert for an
opening' in the bull lines to make a
dash, but as none appeared, and as the
news was not such as to warrant an
advance in the face of scattering liqul
dation, the day closed without special
feature. New York was steady and
net unchanged to 3 points lower.
From the country reports continue
as they have been for some time past,
with many expecting the total figures
to show a moderate crop, and the in
clination generally to hold for higher
prices. This being the case, broker
age houses could not Induce much bus
iness, and they were further handi
capped by the low bids of exporters as
compared with what the country was
asking. Basis good middling brougnt
7%c, but the country wanted 7 11-16 c,
with very few willing to trade on any
lower basis. On the spot there was
some Inquiry for cotton, but with the
inclination to hold about as strong as
it apparently is in the country.
The spirits of turpentine market
closed firm at 35c, with a fair busi
ness reported for the day. Rosins
closed firm and unchanged and in de
mand. The wholesale markets closed
steady. The following resume of the
markets will show their tone and quo
tations at the closing to-day:
COTTON.
The cotton market closed steady,
with sales of 165 reported. The demand
was fair, but there was very little cot
ton to be had at the prices exporters
were bidding, hence transactions were
restricted. Offerings from the country
were light, with ‘the decided inclina
tion among holders to wait for more
attractive prices. To-day's quotations
were for F. G. M. 7% to 7 13-16 c, and
for basis G. M. 7%@7 U-16c. Cotton
futures at New York closed stead, net
unchanged to 3 points lower.

COTTON FUTURES.
New York, Nov. 23.—The cotton
market opened steady in tone with
prices, 1 to 5 points lower, a slim re
sponse to weak Liverpool cables and to
predictions from the bear side for an
increase in receipts. And immediate
ly after the call the smaller holders
sold out as a mere mattar of precau
tion, while some of the bear leaders
endeavored to shake out larger lines
of cotton held by insiders and inves
tors. But in contrast with the English
market news was bad weather and a
bountiful supply of bullish domestic
news. Moderate to heavy rains over
the eastern and central portions of
the belt, and unseasonably low tem
peratures In the West were said to be
delaying gathering of the crop. Jan
uary rose to 7.63 c after the call, but as
a general thing the market did not
vary much from the opening bids in
the absence of active outside demand,
or of strong bull leadership. Private
cables attributed the heaviness abroad
to active profit-taking and pressure
from the bear side.
The market closed steady, net un
changed to 3 points lower.

K, Sr. R. Beer’s Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, Nov. 23.—The increased
Offerings of spots from America i"flu
enced Liverpool unfavorably, and cur
market responded by opening 4@5
points lower, but improved 3 later on
fresh buying, subsequently eased off
lightly on more liberal New Orleans
and Houston estimates, closing at a
net loss of 3@4 points on the day. Re
ferring to textile trade In this coun
try, the New York Times, in its issue
of Nov. 19, says: “The quarterly divi
dend list of thirty-six Eastern mills
shows a distribution of $230,800 on a
capitalization of $21,301,000 in the cloth
mills, or 1.08 per cent. In the corre
sponding quarter of last year these
mills paid an average of 1.79 per cent,
and nine out of these thirty-six mills
paid no dividends. The returns bear
out what has been said of the inability
of many of the mills to pay a higher
wage Scale and show a profit.” From
the above it will be seen that the
Northern spinners are not doing as
good a business as last year, and as
the returns of last season were not
encouraging then the present prospec
tive outlook is evidently unsatisfac
tory. When it is considered that Eu
ropean textile conditions have also
gone from bad to worse, there is noth
ing in the trade situation for the mo
ment to break the present apathy ex
hibited generally by spinners through
out the world.
However, the principal sustaining
feature are the light movement and
the expectation of a very small esti
mate by the bureau oh Dec. 3, unless
there is a marked increase in receipts
during the interim, the chances are
the market will rule steady, pending
the issuance of said document.
Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, Nov. 23.—The course of
the Liverpool market this morning was
quite disappointing to local bulls who
expected an uninterrupted upward
movement in prices. At Liverpool,
prices lost 3 points, and this caused
quite a litlte scare, but opening figure#
•here were down only to the extent of
2 to 6 points as a result of timid hold
ers, throwing a little cotton on the
market. It was suspected that shorts
at Liverpool were growing restless on
fears of a bullish bureau report ten
days hence, and were anxious to buy
at best possible prices. Bears at Liver
pool contended that the Increase in the
visible supply of 72,000, as compared
with last year should send prices down,
unmindful of the fact that spots there
to-day sold at 4%d, against 5 11-16d
last year, and at Nf w York over 2 cent#
lower than lajt year. Buying orders
were numerous enough to reestablish
laet night’s final figures before the
close. Burt receipt# to-day 45,000,
aga'nst 40,000 laet year. There was con
siderable rain in the South to-day, and
this is attracting attention, Inasmuch
am the result must be to retard the
movement of coton. The molsure wa#
heavy at Now Orleana and Vlcluburg,
the former reporting clo#e to 2 Inches,
and the latter 1 tm-h. More or less rain
fell also at Montgomery, Augu*ta.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, Nov. 23.—Our market
opened with sales of January at 7.61®
7.62 c and after selling at 7.65-61 C, ruled
at 7.64 c at 11 a. m. Selling against
Southern purchases by exporters was
the cause for the decline in Liverpool
this morning. These advices were con
firmed by bills of exchange offered this
morning amongst the banks. The open
ing showed the pressure of buying or
ders from the outside based on the ex -
pected government report and these or
ders absorbed the selling against spots.
Fluctuations were within a narrow
range with the trade, looking for a
better foreign market to-morrow. Some
ootton is reported as being pointed to
wards this market for delivery princi
pally high grades, which will take the
place of the low grades in our stock
which are daily being sold at a prem
ium to spinners. The local temper con
tinues to be bullish and will not change
even with an increased movement un
til after the bureau report. The spot
market was quiet and unchanged.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Nov. 23.—The week closes

tions of cotton goods outside of prints,

of their entire offerings. The move

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, Nov. 23.—Speculative ac
tivity was very great In to-day’s short
session of the Stock Exchange and ma
nipulative devices were used both by
the bulls and the bears. The conse
quence was a feverish and excited mar
ket.
There was a notable accumulation of
New York Central, Norfolk and West
ern and the Southern Railway stocks,
individual transactions in these run
ning from 1,000 to 5,800 shares. New
York Central was lifted an extreme 2%,
Norfolk and Western 1% and Southern
Railway preferred 1%. There was a
disposition to take profits in some of
the recent favorites which had an un
settling influence upon the market
from the outset. Amalgamated Cop
per ST# weak throughout, with the ex
ception i' a slight fractional gain at
the opening. In the late trading the
stock slumped to 85, which Is a frac
tion below the lowest price ever pre
viously touched. The assertion was
published in the street that papers
against the Amalgamated Company
are being prepared in the attorney gen
eral’s office at Washington. The report
caused a break of 3% points in Sugar
as well. This weakness took the edge
off the rally on the strong bank state
ment and made the closing very irreg
ular. Renewed selling developed at the
last in the trans-continental stocks
also.
The cash reserves of the banks In
creased about as expected, and the
heavy loan contraction of $13,504,400
confirmed the belief that the gold ex
ports of the weak went to liquidate
foreign loans. It Is asserted that the
break in exchange Is partly due to re
newed selling by bankers in the pro
cess of extending foreign loans still
maturing, which amounts to the crea
tion of a fresh supply in short ac
counts In exchange to be covered at
later maturities.
The raliroad bond market has been
moderately active during the week and
