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 DEMERE L HAMMOND.

WEEK’S INTO SIGHT SHOWS BIG DECLINE. New Orleans, Dec. 9. —Cotton futures easy; December, 7.54@7.56c; January, 7.59@7.60e; February, 7.67@7.69c; March, 7.75@7.76c; April, 7.81@7.83c; May, 7.88@ 7.89 c; June, 7.93@7.95e; July, 7.98@8.00. 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 losses of 15@16 points. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

WARE Jfc LELAND . 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.
