The Morning News Office,
Tuesday, Dec. 10.
A receding tendency was shown in
o-day's cotton markets, which closed
at the decline, both as to spots and
contracts. At New York the market
closed at a loss of 6 to 10 points, due
to the unloading, of March near the
closing, demorilized holders and start
ed a general selling movement.
Spots at Savannah closed quiet, with
the demand light, and no large offer
ings in any quarter. From the In
terior the offerings for f. o. b. ship
ment were also light, and the day
closed without any very large trans
actions being reported. Holders ap
pear to be unsettled about disposing
of the cotton that remains in their
hands as shown by their hesitation,
both when the market advances and
leads. The inference is that the
highest prices reached are not
satisfactory to many holders, and that
better things are looked for in the fu
ture. One not in the trade became
exercised about some outstanding long
accounts held by him, and after de
ciding to “unload” was exorted by a
friend to be game, go the limit, and
stay with the bloody market until the
price reached nine cents, which the
friend assured the disturbed trader
the market was sure to do.
In the naval stores market the clos
ing was firm as to both spirits and
rosins. Spirits ruled firm all day,
closing at 35%c, with sales of a good
lot, and the demand satisfactory. Ex
porters were bidding below the market,
but it is not understood they succeed
ed in obtaining any large supplies at
this price. The following resume of
the markets will show their tone and
quotations at the closing to-day:
COTTON.
The receipts were 4,588, and the ex
ports 8,083. Prices as follows:
The cotton market closed quiet at a
decline of l-16c below yesterday's
prices, with sales for the day of 611.
The receipts were 9,351, against 6,737
last year, and 7,139 year before last.
The demand for spot cotton was mod
erate, with little disposition to trade in
any quarter. In the f. o. b. market
the demand was light, except at con
cessions, which the country would not
meet. Fully good middling was B%c
and good middling B%c. Cotton fu
tures at New York closed barely steady,
6®lo points net lower.

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closed Nearly Steady G
_ to TO Points Loner.
New York, Dec. 10.—The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 3 to
7 points on good foreign buying, de
mand from shorts and purchases for
spinners account. Liverpool was no
better than expected, and trade ac
counts the most cheerful re
ceived from the continent in many
weeks. It was the news from the
continent which gave our market the
bulk of its early strength. Not long
after the call, however, it was seen
that the public was not buying. The
movement at interior towns and the
ports reached larger figures than an
ticipated and spot holders South were
selling freely at the high price es
tablished yesterday. Wall street and
commission houses were sellers on the
opening advance and continued to sell
pretty much all the rest of the day.
Around B.loc for January some room
operators picked up moderate lines of
winter months on the idea that week
holders were pretty well liquidated and
that a short interest was being ac
cumulated. The estimates for to-mor
row’s receipts were rather larger than
expected and New Orleans seemed dis
posed to work lower, thus intimidat
ing traders here for the time being.
In the last hour the market waver
ed between strength and weakness
with speculation spasmodically active.
Just before the close active March
selling carried the whole list off again.
The close was barely steady, 6 to 10
points net lower. y

11. & I). Beer's Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, Dec. 10.—Early Liver
pool advices were better than looked
for, causing our market to open 2
higher. Later, however, easiness de
veloped there, and prices declined 14
from the top in consequence of the
large receipts and easiness of spots,
closing at a net loss of 12 points on
the day. Port receipts are only 9,000
behind last year thus far for the week,
and it is estimated that the semi
weekly receipts at the interior towns
will be 125,000, against 140,000 last year.
The movement is somewhat larger
than anticipated, and was instrument
al in occasioning liquidation, being ac
celerated by the apathy of European
spinners, whq seem determined to pur
sue a hand-to-mouth policy, claiming
that textile conditions are so unsatis
factory as to preclude their entering the
market freely. Sentiment continues
bullish, yet it was apparent to-day that
enthusiasm and snap were lacking. Re
ceipts and the demand for spots will
nevertheless continue to regulate val
ues.
Hubbard Bros. Jk Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, Dec. 10. —That Liverpool
did not decline sharply this morning
in the face of the heavier movempnt
was accepted as an indication that the
trade there was quite in the dark over
the future. When It was seen, how
ever, that there was not a continuance
of the outside buying of yesterday ar

bitrage brokers immediately began to
undo straddles at the wider differences
and this selling brought a continually
weaker Liverpool to the close. The
general impression is thad the pool
which was working in anticipation of a
bullish bureau report, sold Saturday
and yesterday so heavily that its mem
bers parted with their interest to those
who finally came as buyers on yester
day’s broad market. Receipts at the
interior towns and at the ports were
heavy and the movement again this
week promises to exceed that of last
year. On the decline there was some
replacing of the cotton sold yesterday,
but no large accumulations.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Market Closes Heavy at About
the Lowest.
New York, Dec. 10.—There was a
dearth of news in to-day’s stock mar
ket. except such as had to do with
the personality of the operators and
the interests they were supposed to
represent. The well-defined movements
of the day, embracing the general mar
ket, were limited to the upward rush
of prices at the opening and the sud
den relapse at the close.
During the greater part of the day
the market was sluggish and irregular
and traversed its narrow range of
prices a number of times in a totally
inconsequent and dubious manner. The
opening burst of strength was the nat
ural momentum of yesterday’s late
strong recovery, belated bears rushing
to bush, but it soon became manifest
that the short interest had been much
reduced by yesterday's hurried cover
ing, and there was a strong disposition
manifested to extend commitments on
the long side. The eccentric course of
Amalgamated Copper threw the mar
ket into renewed confusion. After ris
ing to 72% there was open selling by
the brokers, whose buying had been a
strong influence in yesterday’s rally in
the stock, as they are credited with
usually acting for inside interests in
Amalgamated Copper. The consequence
was that that common stock commenc
ed to sag again in an irregular wav,
until it reached 69. The price then
worked Its way upward, with occasion
al reactions, to a high level of 74%,
representing a recovery of over 10
points from Saturday’s low level for
the stock.
The general level of prices was af
fected by all of these fluctuations, but
only to a moderate extent, the effect
being more to discourage operations,
whether for the long or short account.
There were some individual points of
strength, notably in the Vanderbilts,
with large demand for New York Cen
tral, and a number of less prominent
railroads and industrials. The tone of
.he money market was much quieter
during the day, and .there seemed a
sufficient supply at 5%@6 per cent., but
late In the day belated borrowers
caused a flurry to 8 per cent, by their
urgent efforts to cover their wants, and
the stock market made an immediate
response, the whole list dropping sud
denly to the lowest of the day on
greatly Increased trading. Amalga
mated Copper fell back to 69% and
closed with a net loss of about a
point. St. Paul and Manhattan fell
away rapidly under the selling, the
former losing 2%. There was no ef
fectual rally in the market and the
closing was heavy at about the lowest.
The heavy withdrawals from the
money market by the government on
account of the surplus gives cause for
uneasiness, and there was general ex
pectation during the day that the Sec
retary of the Treasury would announce
the Immediate payment of the govern
ment's January interest as a measure
of relief. The announcement of action
in this matter came too late to help
the market to-day.
The railroad bond market was irreg
ular. Total sales, par value, $4,110,000.
United States bonds, all unchanged on
the last call.
