The promise, of better prices for lo cal spot cotton which was held out by the increase of prices, Friday at the close of the market failed to materialize in the trading yesterday for on falling futures markets, the local market after opening quiet and at unchanged prices, went off at the midday call, 1-16 of a cent. The sales at the opening were 300 bales, and at the close, 278. A good demand for cotton Is In evidence at present figures, but holders of the staple refuse to accept them which accounts for the small sales.

Liverpool on the local close of yesterday was due to come about unchanged to 1 point lower, but closed 9 points lower, with private cables re porting bearish sentiments and claim ing increase in Southern offerings. Not withstanding this showing and the rather bearish interpretation of the visible supply statement, the market during the early trading ruled irregu lar, but held well up to the initial fig ures, with shorts the best buyers, while those who had bought for long account on the advance of yesterday seemed to be liquidating.

WARE Jfc LELAND. Sny llnlly in Cotton May Start nt Any Time. New York, Dec. 10.—The market had another sinking spell this morning. It is quite surprising that the market has not had more of them since the report than it has. January sold at 7.50 c on the crash, and the low to-day was 10 points above that. It will be a nervous market for some time, but a long as the price holds above that low point, we would rather play the long side on declines than be short of the market. Reports from the South indicate that holders are quite indifferent about selling their cotton at this low figure. Asa result con sumers have bought large quantities of futures. It now remains to be seen whether they will be able to replace these futures with actual cot ton later on. Prices are very low and there are no Inducements to sell cot ton short at this level. English spin ners are doing an enormous business ns shown by the last report of the Board of Trade. Something like an Increase of 25 per cent, was shown in both cloths and yarn: over the No vember business last year. There will be a big business done this year, this appears to be nothing In the Imme diate situation to cause advance In prices, but this does not mean cotton is a sale. We would watch the mar ket carefully here as a rally may start at any time. J. 9. BACHE A CO.'S Dally Colton Letter (n Hayward, Vick A Cos.

DECEMBER 11. 1904. in spite of the bearish average to local sentiment, prices, after opening weak at a decline of 3@ll points, ruled pret ty steady, with the trend during the early trading upward, If anything, on covering for over Sunday by scattering sorts. Buyers on the bulge of yester day, disappointed over the attitude of the English market supplied the de mands for covering purposes, and it also appeared as though there were considerable selling orders for short account on a scale up. As near as we can find, the Southern holders are sticking to their cotton with great te nacity. Naturally any advance will bring out some scattering lots. In the main, marketing is not likely to be lib eral at these prices, and It will depend on the willingness of the spinner to ac cumulate reserve supplies whether we are entering a period of irregularity around the present level, or whether we are to have a fair advance. For our part we are inclined to look for ir regularity. Spinners accepting the gov ernment report as accurate are holding off for a decline. DEMERE A HAMMOND’S Cotton Letter From New York. New York, Dec. 10. —The drop of 9 points in Liverpool was a surprise to everybody, but even a greater surprise was furnished by the remarkable steadiness of our market in the face of it. Opening 10@12 points lower, prices steadily crept up until the de cline from last night amounted to only 5@6 points. Conspicuous among those who were supporting prices, were cer tain floor brokers, who have all along been identified with the bear side, and whose support at present moment is be lieved for the purpose of maintaining a comparatively high level long enough to permit of an extensive short inter est’put out. The talk is confident that another set ere decline is on the card, and that something like 7c will be seen before it is over. The visible supply statement for the week was the im mediate cause of Liverpool’s downfall, as It shows that spinners have taken 111,000 bales less than during the same week last year. Such a showing was more than an offset for the compara tively light Interior receipts, and the weekly movement. Insight for coming week is estimated at less than lasi year, but it is believed that exports through the out-ports will considerably swell the total and finally cause an excess to be shown. There is too much spot cotton yet to be sold on any rise and we believe that a further decline only depends upon the moment when the bear clique begins its next attack. GENERAL MARKETS.
