The heaviest sales of spot cotton that
have been made in the Savannah mar
ket since the recent break in prices
occurred yesterday, amounting to 1,808
bales. The demand for supplies has
been good for some days, but holders
have refused to sell at quotations, and,
it is understood that the sales made
yesterday were at the higher figures
to which the market went at the mid
day call. The opening was quiet and
unchanged from the close of the day
before, but with the advancing futures
markets and the continued firmness of
spot holders quotations were advanced
at 1 o’clock l-16c. The tone was
posted as steady, and both this tone
and the higher prices were maintained
at the close of the market.

LIVERPOOL DISCREDITS
GINNERS’ ERROR STOYR.
New York, Dec. 9.—The cotton mar
ket showed increased activity, owing
largely, it would seem, to more gen
eral covering und perhaps a little buy
ing for long account as a result of the
steadier spot situation, though after
having shown a fair net gain in the
middle session, the prices were finally
at a slight net loss for the day.
The opening was easy at a decline
of 6@lo points or about as due on the
cables, which were disappointing. Liv
erpool evidently took no stock in the
reports circulated here yesterday as to
an error in glnners' figures.
The local market wiped out yes
terday s advance with the opening
loss, hut there was a very fair demand
at the decline. New Orleans appeared
to he sending buying orders here, Wall
street was covering, and with some
buying for a moderate turn, prices
slowly worked upward. When Secre
tary Hester's tip for the lu-slght was
received the market took another up
ward twist, and In the early ufternoon
was about 10012 points above the . los
ing of yesterday. This represented a
recovery of practically % cent from
the low level of th* week and seemed
to attract fresh selling by local bears
so that during the balance of the ses
sion fluctuations were Irregular, but

Spot cotton steady; sales, 4,950 bales,
including 2,150 to arrive. Quotations
unchanged.
Futures opened easy, with prices 17
@l9 points lower than yesterday’s clos
ing level. This was to be expected,
considering the chimerical character of
the rumor which caused the advance
just before the termination of yester
day’s session. The "into-sight” state
ment posted at noon shows the amount
of cotton brought into sight this week,
489,563 bales, against 531,073 last week,
a decrease of 41,500 bales. Bulls argue
that this indicates that planters are
holding their staple.
In the trading January opened 18
points down, at 7.57 c, declined 2 points
and then sold up to 7.80 c, but a heavy
selling movement finally carried the
price down to 7.59 c, other active
months showing similar fluctuations.
The market closed steady, with net

Say Better Element of Trade Wilt
Not Be Found Selling Short.
New York, Dec. 9.—Cotton sold this
week at 7.50 c and only eleven months
ago sold at 17.50 c. This represents
a decline of just 10c, making allowance
for the inflation of last season, it
would seem as though the condition
of scarcity that brought the high prices
about and made such inflation possible
can hardly be remedied in a few short
months, and that cotton will be found
to have intrinsic value, even with a
much larger crop than had been gen
erally expected. It will take some
time of course for the market to re
cover from demoralizing effects of the
government report and tfadical im
provement can be confidently expected
for some time to come. But on the
other hand there is now a general ten
dency to oversell the market, the South
is not selling as freely as at higher
prices, and it is not unlikely that great
opposition will be met in the effort to
depress prices below 7%c in New York,
which means about 7c in the South.
Conservative traders who have been
looking for a crop somewhere between
11, bales have been wrong on the
size of the crop, and as a result, wrong
on the cotton market. It is one of
those mistakes that will occur under
the most enlightened conditions, and
for which taking the experience of the
past into consideration conservative
people have no apologies to offer, but
even with this in view reasons to an
ticipate a further decline in prices at
such a level as now prevails are diffi
cult to find, and for some time to
come the better element in the trade
will not be found selling cotton short
J. S. BACHE & CO.’S
Dully Cotton Letter to Heywnrii,
Viek & Company.
New York. Dec. 9.—'The steadier tone
of the market indicates, we should say,
that speculative interests see no pros
pect for a continuation of the decline
beyond the recent low level, except
as it might be brought about by ag
gressive bear operations of a purely
speculative nature, have put them
selves in a position where an advance
to a level from which another down
ward movement can be attempted with
some prospect of profit would be wel
comed rather than seriously opposed.
Such a reaction seems to be encour
aged by the present attitude of the
Southern spot holder, who is demand
ing an advance for his holdings, and
will probably remain firm until an ad
vance has been secured or until a
withdrawal of buying orders forces him
to terms. People who favor the long
side for a turn will point out that
steadier speculative markets will en
courage careful marketing, the bears
that any advance will cause another
rush of cotton to market. Meanwhile
speculative operators appear to be
scalping the market, but sentiment on
the whole is not so bearish as it was
a day or two ago and in some quarters
the ndvlee to “sell on bulges” has
turned to “buy on declines, if only for
a moderate turn." The reports of an
error in the ginners’ report were offi
cially denied this morning. Liver
pool, after a firm opening, was weak
and the local market opened at a de
cline of 6 to 10 points.
