The Morning News Office,
Monday, Dec. 16.
The local cotton market closed quiet,
with the demand moderate and no dis
position among factors to sell. The
same was true in the free-on-board
market, in which there were no large
offerings, and these only at top prices.
Basis good middling brought B%c, with
the offerings limited at this price.
Cotton futures at {Jew York closed
higher, with trading fairly active dur
ing most of the day. Influenced by
the larger receipts at the ports the
market was held back some. The de
mand from shorts is much less than
a few days ago, which means that all
outstanding business following the bu
reau report Jias been about covered.
A revival of speculation is looked for
in some quarters, and if a demand is
stirred up contracts are likely to seek
a higher level according to the best
observers.
Naval stores closed with the feeling
favorable to the market. Spirits ruled
flrin at 35%c, with the demand good.
Rosins closed steady, and in demand,
particularly as to H and below. The
wholesale markets closed steady. In
the produce branches the demand was
good to-day, shipments exceeding those
for any one day in weeks. Merchants
have not been able to order perishable
stuff up to this time, and are now lay
ing it in for their Christmas trade. The
following resume of the markets will
show their tone quotations at the clos
ing to-day:
COTTON.
Spot cotton closed quiet, with sales
of 310 by factors. The demand w'as
moderate, and while there was no dis
position tb sell at concessions, the in
quiry was not such as to keep #ading
going. Receipts were 9,242, agatinst
6,552 last year, and 6,727 year before
last. In the f. o. b. market the de
mand was rather light, with country a
backward seller. The bulk of the day's
busines in this market was done on a
basis of B%c for F. G. M. and B%c for
G. M. Cotton futures at New York
closed quieit 4 to 7 points up. Dis
cussing the situation S. leading broker
on the floor of the Cotton Exchange
said he did not expect the Interior
to offer with any great freedom on
declines. It is his belief that the cot
ton is either not to the country, and if
so, that it is being firmly held. Sa
vannah is receiving much cotton sold
in the interior, however, which was
previously sold through local people.

The Market (loses Quiet 407 Point*
Higher.
New 7 York, Dec. 16.—The cotton mar
ket started out firm in tone, with prices
up 5011 points on a scare of shorts
and brisk demand from abroad. Very
bullish Liverpool cables, firmness in
spot markets and a cold wave, which
covered the entire cotton belt, were .he
factors which stirred up the bears and
gave the bulls fresh confidence. Fol
lowing the call the market was quite
active and held Its own on scattering
demand from all quarters. Sellers com
prised ring traders and investors who
had generous profits within easy reach.
At midday the market had lost a por
tion of the early rise, but was by no
means weak. Wall street bought late
months and Europe continued to bid
for business on reports that spinners
were doing a splendid business. Pri
vate crop advices from the belt re
ported picking nearly completed and
a large percentage of the crop mar
keted. The government chart reported
generally fair weather South, but re
corded the lowest temperatures in
many years, these ranging from 6 de
grees at Memphis to 32 degrees at
Jacksonville. While the freezing weath
er was regarded as unimportant so
far as affecting the net yield was con
cerned, many operators believed it
would temporarily check receipts, ow
ing to its effect on farm hands. Fear
that Liverpool will to-morrow repeat
the advance of to-day caused ring
shorts to cover in the last hour. The
close was quiet, net 4@7 points high
er. A vote on the proposition to close
the exchange the day after New Year's
was voted down, but the members vot
ed to close the exchange the day after
Christmas.

H. Jk B. Beer’* Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, Dec. 16.—As Liverpool
was some better than anticipated, our
market opened 2 to 3 higher, advanced
3 additional on fresh buying, sub
sequently declined 7 from the top on
the liberal New Orleans and Houston
estimates, but rallied slightly later on
the absence of sellers, becoming easier
near the close, making the net loss 1 to
3 points on the day. Manchester
cables say the opinion that the crop
will be less than was expected has be
come more general, and it is believed
that present values may be exceeded
later. India and China, however, re
sponded poorly to the advances in
prices. Both are fairly well supplied
and can afford to wait a while. Spin
ners decline to do business unless at
the advanced price. The turn-over
was disappointing, as shippers are not
disposed to pay the enhanced figures.
Port receipts thus far for the week are
practically the same as last year's, but
sentiment continues very bullish, as it
is expected the cold and rainy weather
throughout the belt will soon curtail
receipts materially and thereby oc
casion a further Improvement in
values. There is little or no specula
tive short interest, still the proba
bility is prices will be sustained unless
the movement increases considerably.

claim will have indefinitely, at least,
until the movement of cotton shows
that small crop estimates are unwar
ranted. Shorts Were covering on a fair
scale this morning. The demand for
European, and especially for the con
tinent, is good, out there was not much
buying for the South. There the weath
er was intensely cold, as low as 6 de
grees at Memphis, and this may pre
vent a free movement. Prices were
8011 points higher, with slight changes
to noon. Receipts at the ports, 47,000,
against 47,000 last year. Gins are all
closed in Arkansas, and picking is
completed. Cotton in that state has
been moved very rapidly—in fact, it is
claimed that 75 per cent, of the crop
has been disposed of. Texas people
assert that the method adopted by the
government in relying largely on gin
ners' report in making the bureau es
timate was the most sensible and re
sponsible that could- have been adopt
ed. The crop for Texas they say will
not exceed 2,625,000, and may not be
over 2,600,000. The top crop did not
exceed 50,000 bales, and people predict
9%c for cotton by July 1.
Hubbard Bros. A Co.'s Cotton Letter.
New York, Dec. 16. —Cablegrams from
Liverpool reported that the advances
to-day was due to large American buy
ing, supposed to be for the same ac
count which sold so heavily here on
Saturday. Intense cold weather
throughout the South, followed by re
cent heavy rains, is expected to curtail
the movement and bring Europe into
the market as a buyer. After our
market had advanced on the opening
the realizing became heavy, and finally
prevailed over the new buying, bring
ing a reaction, as the receipts at Hous
ton and New Orleans were considered
heavy. The sentiment here is very
bullish, all expecting a further advance
when the movement falls off. Profit
taking is the only feature to check this
general bull feeling. A lower Liverpool
is expected to-morrow, because this
market did not fully respond.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Dee. 16.—The week opens
quietly so far as the general demand
for cbtton goods is concerned. There
has been only an indifferent business
in brown cottons, but prices are firm.
Bleached goods unchanged but higher
prices are probable. There were buy
ers in the market for denims, but not
at sellers’- prices. Other coarse colored
cottons firm. Print cloths unchanged
in both regulars and odds. Prints and
ginghams in moderate demand, but
market firm.
NAVAL STORES.
SPIRITS.—The turpentine market
opened firm to-day at 35%c, with sales
of 1,070, and closed firm <at 35%c, with
no closing sales reported. The under
tone of the market continues very firm,
and the demand promising. Unless
ther is an unforeseen check to the de
mand few see how the market is to
recede much, as the movement is not
likely to increase to a point that will
depress values. Receipts to-day 1,189,
and the exports 87.
ROSINS —The rosin market closed
steady, with sales at the opening of
I, and at the closing Of 1,361. The
demand for all grades is fair. It ls
particularly good for H and below,
these grades being in constant request.

Tha Market Hold* It* On n With Aid
of Easier Money.
New York, Dec. 16.—There was no re
newal of consequence of the pressure
of liquidation in the stock m|arket to
day, and there was manifest hesitation
about taking any operations for an ad
vance. A handful of stocks were ad
vanced by professional operations in a
seeming attempt to induce a following
and to Influence the general market.
The evidently easier condition of the
money market encouraged this move
ment, but the fear of a recurrence of
stringency and the unsettling influence
of renewed weakness in Amalgamated
Copper discouraged its extension.
Amalgamated Copper started down
wards from the opening, but recovered
momentarily to % above last week's
closing. It gravitated for the rest of
the day with only slight rallies to the
low point at 61%, where it closed. The
fluctuations in the stock were not vio
lent, and traders described its action
as a fall of its own weight, without
any apparent artificial pressure. The
net loss is 3%. It is taken for granted
that the renewed decline foreshadows a
reduction in the dividend bn Thursday,
as the disbursement of dividends by a
subsidy company is tied up by in
gmetion. The rate of dividend is ex
pected by speculators at all the way
from 1 per cent, quarterly down to
passing it entirely. Fears are professed,
also, that the cut in the selling price
of raw copper made last week Is a pre
liminary to further cuts and to a war
of rates. It was worthy of remark that
in London the price of futures closed
higher than for spot, for the first time
since the first week in October. The
prospect of the unsettling influence of
mystery and uncertainty over the
Amalgamated dividend rate until Its
actual declaration was sufficient in
Itself to discourage activity in the gen
eral market.
The strength of the Saturday bank
statement is due entirely to the specu
lative liquidation which took place last
week. To expand again immediately
the loan account of the hanks would
threaten, it is feared, a recurrence of

stringent money. The condition of the
world's money market, however, was
easier all round to-day. Discounts
were lower in. London and sterling ex
change, both at Paris and Berlin, fell
back sharply. Foreign exchange here
did not rise appreciably in spite of the
greater nbundanee of fundc in the
irvoney market. It was considered en
couraging, also, that no deposits were
made at the sub-treasury to-day to be
transferred to the interior. Checks for
government interest in anticipation of
the January payment began to come to
the sub-treasury to-day, and the day’s
payment of the $8,000,000 Standard Oil
dividend was an influence towards
greater ease of money.

Mew York, Dec. 16.—Lower prices
were generally recorded in the early
dealing* in stock* to-day. A few
prominent reee*lon* lost a point cr
more. Traders *till showed apprehen
sions with regard to the character of
the money market and the uncertain
ties in the Copper situation. There
wa* Important selling presure, how
ever. and In the afternoon a decided
Improvement was to he noted In senti
ment. A material decline in call
money created a better speculative
ent!ment, in some Instance? sharp
rallies occurred. The movement was
started by New York Central, which
after opening off 1 per cent, rallied
over 3 per cent. St. Paul rallied 2 per
cent and recoveries of 1 per cent, or
over were scored by Union Pacific,
Missouri Pacific and a few specialties.
Long Island wa* particularly strong
on the belief that it would be benefit
ed by the projected Improvement* of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. lowa Cen
tral preferred roe 3 per cent. The loi
cal traction* were Rtrong and inclined
to advance under lead of Manhattan,
but all of them slumped later In sym
pathy with the general decline. Ameri
can Ice advanced 1 per cent, on cold
weather consideration*. Consolidated
Gas opened off 2%. but later on par
tially recovered. In the main the rally
which began in the early afternoon
wa* somewtiat half-hearted. The Im
provement was arrested by the dp-
Plant System
