NEW YORK FUTURES
CLOSED AT A LOSS.
New York, Nov. 15. —The cotton mar
ket was a little more active than yes
terday. The wire service was working
sufficiently well to permit of the re
ceipts of nearly all the usual South
ern newst but private wire houses
were without the means of communi
cation and New York was cut off from
Southern business. The market open
ed steady at an advance of I@3 points
in response to rather better cables
than expected and reports of cold
weather in the belt. Local operators
seemed to be trading a little more
freely than on the previous day, Liv
erpool sent a few buying orders and
some of the larger spot houses were
buying. Following the call the list
worked up to a net advance of about
s@B points,with December leading,while
January ruled relatively easy. Wall
street shorts appeared to be selling
January to prevent an advance while
buying in December contracts. Later,
business became less active and duff
ing the balance of the session the
general tendency was downward. A
local spot house was quite ' a liberal
seller in the afternoon trading and the
market was finally barely steady at
a decline of 3<@7 points, the lowest
level of the day.
Sales were reported of 50,000 bales.
The market being so narrow, it took
but comparatively small orders to
swing prices, and the fluctuations re
flected no alteration In the general at
titude to the market. - -

Cotton Letter from Gilbert * Clay
of Sew Orleaii*.
New Orleans, Nov. 15.—Nothing be
yond quotations was received from
Liverpool this morning. These evi
denced a steady market devoid of any
thing approaching sensationalißtlc. The
Improvement for the day was 4 points
on both opening sales on spots. Later
cables ascribed the buying to spin
ners. The opening here was steady
and at practically unchanged levels, a
tendency to moderately hinder prices
was checked by the selling of far
months on the Improvement. The
range of fluctuations continued nar
row. but at good undertone Imparted
by an excellent spot business. On ad
vent of new feature of moment the
tendency will be the maintenance of
present values, with slight variations.
The bear element, recently conspicu
ous, have adopted a conservative pol
icy and are not apparently increasing
their short interest, at the same time
are manifesting no uneasiness by ef
forts to cover. The contest Is between
the holders of cotton, and the con
sumers and speculators largely com
prise the audience with some Indica
tions of willingness to assist the side
manifesting the most-strength.

at inside figures. The sales were pret
ty good amounting to 3,238 barrels. The
close was firm and unchanged at prices

than it has been for several days as
no decline on any grade was reported
while advances were made by pales,
some sales being- made at 5 cents up on
all grades from K and above, others at
24 cents up on the same grades and
still others at 24 cents up on the two
