Morning News Office,
Monday, Dec. 9.
In natural rotation the grain mar
ket stepped aside to-day for New
Yerk stocks, which were prominent for
their advances. The list was led by
Amalgamated Copper, which slumped
during the early hours, but later ral
li i, closing the day at a material ad
vance on the opening price. At New
York there were large transactions, the
total sales being upward of 195,000
shares, and It was understood that the
stock was being dealt in elsewhere.
Traders South were reported as
dabbling in this stock, but before its
fluctuations became excited they had
probably withdrawn, as few losses of
consequence are reported.
Little of interest was doing in the
local cotton markets. While futures
scored an advance of 8 to 15 points ex
porters were not inclined to pay the
asked prices, either at the port or in
the country, the day’s business was
limited. In the local f.o.b. market the
country was reported as being partic
ularly indifferent.
Naval stores closed firm with fair
transactions in both spirits and rosins.
At a decline of 5c on H and below
sales of a round lot were reported. The
following resume of the market will
show their tone and quotations at the
closing to-day:
COTTON.
Spot cotton closed steady, with sales
of 554 bales by factors. Receipts were
7,000 against 4,900 last year. No eager
ness was shown to sell on the spot,
and the day closed without any inter
esting features. The exports reached
27,1504. of which 4,907 went to Great
Britain, 18,621 to the continent, and 3,-
776 to the coast. In the f.o.b. market
the demand was light, and a painful In
difference shown on the part of the
country. The feeling exists that prices
are to seek a higher level, and with
this idea entertained the backward
ness of the country is explained. F. G.
M. was 7 5-16 c, and G. M. 7 3-16 c. Cot
ton futures at New York closed steady
8 to 15 points up.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market

SKA ISLAND COTTON.
The sea Island cotton market was
active during most of the past week,
with the demand from exporters very
satisfactory. Prices close at the ad
vance as to all grades, and the Inquiry
1* promising for a continued good de
mand. The statistical position, to
gether with the Indications of a very
moderate crop, are the Influences which
are contributing to the better feeling.
Unless a great deal of cotton is being
held back on plantations the trade
renerally agree the crop will be around
65,000 to 75,000 bales In their opinion.
And if any cotton Is being held back
present prices are believed to be such
as will bring It out. The current quo

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes Steady at a Rise
of S to 15 Points.
New York, Dec. 9.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady ,at an advance of
14@22 points and during the first hour
was remarkably strong on enormous
demand fronl shorts, who were stam
peded by a bulge of B@9 points in Liv
erpool. Bull confidence was intensilied
by rumors of an advance of %@%c in
Southern spot markets. Qn the first
wave of buying January jumped to
8.25 c and May to 8.29 c, these figures
being about the best of the session.
Heavy rains over most of the belt, with
snow in Memphis, coupled with a fore
cast for very much colder temperatures
in tWi South to-night. added to the
bullish feeling here. Wall street and
Western grain interests sold out great
blocks of January and March on the
uplift. Towards midday the market
went off a few points under room sell
ing and broke sharply soon after mid
day under large estimates for to-mor
row’s New Orleans and Houston e
-ceipts. January touched 8.13 c and May
8.17 c before fresh general buying turn
ed the scale and rallied the market 8
points. The room played for a reac
tion, but the second advance w&s so
rapid that very little cotton was pick
ed up to good advantage. It was seen
that total port - receipts for the day
fell many thousands of bales short of
total port clearances. Fall River news
was very favorable and spinners were
reported bidding freely for supplies
throughout the South. Interior re
ceipts for the day fell 10,000 bales short
of those the same day last year. In
the last hour shorts were very nervous
and picked up a good deal of cotton
sold by scalpers for profits. Closed
steady at a net advance of B<®ls points.

H. & R. Ilecr's Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, Dec. 9.—Liverpool was
much more favorable than expected,
owing to large American and Egyptian
buying orders. Our market in sym
pathy opened 15 to 16 higher, advanc
ed 3 to 4 additional on fresh buying,
declined 10 subsequently on the liber
al interior receipts and large esti
mates for both New Orleans and Hous
ton to-morrow, but rallied slightly
near the close on the flrmnes sof spots
making the net gain 11 to 12 points
on the day. Cables from Liverpool
claim there is a better demand for
goods at higher prices and that there
are signs of spinners becoming un
easy and the probability is they will
be free buyers soon. Manchester ca
bles say the low estimate by the bu
reau restricted operations on the cloth
market. The bulls now think the crop
will not exceed 10,060,000 bales, where
as the bears firmly believe that It will
amount to 10,500,000. The demand from
China was small and the Indian de
mand was irregular. Sentiment con
tinues extremely bullish, and as long
as everyone buys, the chances are val
ues may enhance further unless check
ed by Increased receipts, which If
realised, may raise doubts In the minds
of operators as to the accuracy of
the bureau's figures.

wild one, with enormous trading, one
side realizing on an enormous scale,
while the other was buying freely on
the bureau estimate. After the post
ing of the Houston estimate the mar
ket slowly eased and when New Or
leans also came heavy the trading be
came quieter, some of the sellers turned
buyers, but on the whole there was a
disposition to look for lower prices to
morrow in Liverpool as a result of the
heavy receipts at the ports and in
terior towns for to-morrow. The total
movement for the week Is also heavy.
Cotton is pointing here for delivery on
December and January, as curiously,
the market is the highest. Probabil
ities is due to the absence of any sharp
demand from European spinners. This
last advance has eliminated the small
remaining short interest.

STOCKC AND BONDS.
The lloning Active and Strong at
the Rest of I lie Day.
New York, Dec. 9.—There was a
lively shaking out of speculative long
accounts in stocks to-day, accompan
ied by a threatening break In prices,
which caused some alarm during the
early hours of the day. In the after
noon there was a sudden about-face in
speculative sentiment, and a disorder
ly scramble ensued among the bears
to cover their short contracts.
Amalgamated Copper continued to
maintain its conspicuous position, even
with the increase In animation in the
market to-day. The opening sales car
ried the stock back 1% tn 65. and this
proved the low level of the day, but
the demand dropped off as often as
the stock approaclied Saturday’s level,
although determined support was al
ways offered as it neared 65. The bears
became alarmed at the action of the
stock, and in the last hour rushed the
price up to 71 In their frantic bidding
against each other. The final price was
but a shade lowef. The support of
fered to Copper at the opening break
prompted supporting orders elsewhere,
and the rtiarket steadied momentarily,
quite a list of Important stocks rising
a fraction over Saturday.
Wfth a rise in the call loan rate to
7 per cent., however, speculators took
fright and unloaded stocks. Prices
generally touched the low point of the
day on this slump,'although individual
stocks were fortwY down under subse
quent attack, carrying the whole mar
ket with them back to about the low
level several times. St. Paul was not
ably weak and fell 2% under Saturday.
Manhattan was also vigorously at
tacked and driven 2% under Saturday.
There was a good deal of calling of
loans, but in seeking new accommoda
tions borrowers bid the rate up upon
themselves to a higher rate than Was
necessary, judging from subsequent
developments. The ruling rates were
6 per cent., or, even, 5% per cent., and
there seemed ample supply at that fig
ure. The perception of this fact
emerged about the same time that
Amalgamated Copper began its rally.
From a general level of a point or
more below Saturday’s prices, the mar
ket began to move upward and gained
momentum. There was a slight reac
tion before the close, but the advance
was renewed, making the closing active
and strong at about the best. The
Gould railroads, Manhattan, New York
Central, Sugar, Pacific Mall and Gen
eral Electric were all prominent in the
rally, and the day closed with net
gains, except in a few instances. The
activity in the call loan market was
reflected In the sharp drop In foreign
exchange, both sterling and continent
al, which precluded all idea of gold
exports for the present. There were
no deposits ’of currency at the sub
treasury for transfer to the Interior to
day, but the speculative activity con
tinued in the grain and cotton mar
kets.
Railroad bonds weakened in sympa
thy with stocks, hut became irregular

35,185,000. United States bonds were

at the Stock Exchange, due largely to
the wide range of fluctuations covered
between the extremes of low and high
prices. Speculation was unsettled in
the early dealings, and was unfavora
bly infTth'need by the rise In money
rates to 7 per cent, from Saturday’s
closing prices, or the highest of the
morning. There were numerous de
clines of 1 to 2 per cent, the higher fig
ure being exceeded In the case of New
York Central, St. Paul and Manhat
tan, among the active Issues. Some
liquidation was in evidence, but a con
siderable part of the pressure arose
from short selling. In the late after
noon there was a rapid and general re
covery in prices. A late easing oft In
money with rumors that January in
terest might, be anticipated on govern
ment bonds contributed toward the
late spirited rally. Perhaps the prin
cipal Influence, however, was a-change
In the current of speculation In Amal
gamated Copper. That stock opened at
a loss of 1% at 65, but this figure prov
ed to be the lowest of the day. Buying
of a good character was noted, and
about noon It was announced that the
great Spanish Rio Tintes mines were
to curtail their production. The short
Interest became more nervous as the
day advanced,’and there was percepti
ble covering, closing the stock at 70%,
a net gain from Saturday of 4% points.
The railway list responded promptly to
the reversed course of the Copper spe
cialties. In numerous Instances the
early declines were more than fully re
covered. H[>ec!al strength was develop
ed by New York Central, Gould stocks,
and Manhattan Hallway. The market
closed strong.
