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. - - SPOT COTTOX AT NEW YORK.

WARE A LKLAXD’S 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.
