A further decline of 1-16 of a cent
took place in the local spot cotton
market yesterday. It came at the
opening and the new level of prices
was maintained without change dur
ing the remainder of the session. The
normal demand for supplies was in
evidence, but not a bale of cotton was
reported sold until the close when
sales of 194 bales were posted. Hold
ers generally refused to sell on the
lower level, and it is understood that
better than quotations was paid for
that reported sold.

The f. o. b. market opened steady at

closed at 7%c and unchanged as to
tone. Cotton from the interior was to
be had in the earlier part of the day
at the market quotations, but when
the futures prices improved as they
did in the later afternoon holders be
came firm and little if any cotton was
to be had at the official basis.
Liverpool opened better than was
due and the American futures mar
kets reflected this improvement at
their opening, though later in the day
prices declined to new low levels for
the season. They recovered before the
close which, both at New York and
New Orleans, was at a gain, in the

NEW YORK RALLIED
AFTER NEW LOW LEVELS.
New York, Dec. 21.—The cotton
market was extremely active and
ruled very irregular. At times the
bears appeared to be in full control
and prices registered anew low level
for the season around midday, to rally
later, and closed very steady at a
slight net gain, on buying that was
attributed not only to covering of
shorts but to purchases for spot in
terests.
The opening was firm at an ad
vance of I@lo points in response to
the cables. On the New York close of
yesterday Liverpool was due to come
about 6 to 8 points lower, but official
quotations showed a decline of only 5
points at the hour of the local open
ing and private cables reported more
favorable conditions owing largely to
an oversold short interest and small
Southern offerings. After the opening
here prices continued to show firm
ness and worked up to a net gain of
about 12@13 points in the first half
hour or so of trading on covering and
buying by reactionists. But leading
speculative interests were very heavy
sellers on the bulge to 7.51 c for March
and the early demand being filled up
prices started downward, reaching in
the early afternoon a net loss of
about 9 points with January selling at
within 12 points of the promised
7-cent level, while March selling at
7.30 c was 21 points down from the best
level of the session. Selling was en
couraged to some extent by reports
of freer spot offerings in the Southern
markets and a lower range of quota
tions. but in the afternoon exporting
Interests who had been quietly buying
on the decline, purchased very aggres
sively, smaller shorts covered active
ly and prices shot up to a little over
the opening figures. Final quotations
were 5@7 'points net higher on all
months except October, which was 14
points higher. Sales futures were es
timated at 350,000 bales. The estimate
for to-morrow's receipts at Houston
was small, but other points expect fair
arrivals.

The market is advised that there w*as
a disposition to buy. New York tele
grams were non-committal on that
point, showing that the sentiment of
the traders was divided much the same
way ns on the local market. L'ater in
the session there was an improvement
of 6 to 8 points, the market closing

A
Dally Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Vick A Cos.
New York. Dec. 21.—The cotton
market has shown continued nervous
ness with the big bear operators ever
of a mind to oppose all rallying ten
dencies by continued and aggressive
offerings. There has been quite heavy
selling of hits by the large Interests,
and It looks as though any attempt at
covering by these parties would be so
likely to result In a big advance, that
It seems their plan to either uncover
some long accounts of a speculative
character that are believed to he out
standing, or to break the backbone of
the Southern holder and precipitate a
decline In that manner, snd n wave of
more general silling that will enable
them to cover up. There is one thing
that we regard aa certain, the situa
tion la now approaching a decided
fluency of spme kind during which

up and the undertone of the market
to say the least is apprehensive. Liv
erpool afforded every encouragement
for a reaction. Private cables com
mented bullishly on the situation and
public cables reported a better range
of prices than expected. Responding
the market opened firm at advance of
1 to 10 points on covering by smaller
shorts and some buying by parties
who believed that the market had
gone low enough to render it attrac
tive to consuming interests for hedg
ing future requirements both for the
current season and as a protection
against crop accidents next year. But
after working up to a net gain of
about 11 to 13 points the market re
flected continued bear operations by
breaking to practically last night’s
prices.
WARE A LELAND
Believe Day of Reckoning Will
Come for Short*.
New York, Dec. 21.—There was an
other break in the market to-day.
Early the tone steadied well enough
and some began to buy cotton, but the
pressure was continued and no one
had courage to buy very much cot
ton, or to stay with it. The support
was not very good. May sold 7.62 c
early, and then broke 20 points before
there was very much buying. The
tone was not as weak as' yesterday,
but the market showed little resist
ance after the break started. When
ever prices started to advance there
was selling of a kind to cause weak
ness. Things are now Just as they
were at 16c and 17c in January, only
with the reverse picture. There is
no way of telling where the market
will halt; all one can say is that there
is Just as much disregard for values
on the part of those who have control
of prices as was the case last year.
It needs but little experience with
speculation to tell one that the de
cline will go way below a legitimate
figure, and that sentiment will be
found as bearish at the bottom as it
was bullish at 17V- cents last year; no
one knows where the tend will be, but
there will be a day of reckoning some
day, and it will be bad for shorts. The
trade is now so demoralized that the
utmost care should be exercised in
trades made. If we have an open break
in the morning buy cotton for a turn.
DEMERE A HAMMOND'S
Daily Cotton better from New York.
New York, Dec. 21.—The rally which
was predicted yesterday should come
if only to permit of readjustment be
tween futures and spots was seen dur
ing the first hour. An advance which
extended about 8 or 9 points above last
night's figures was established,
though for only a short while. Our
early advices convinced us of increas
ing nervousness and anxiety among
spot holders, and we, therefore, ad
vised our clients to sell the market on
rally, in fact until the ginners’ report
shall be out of the way, the market Is
a sale on all rallies. The renewed de
cline which set in shortly after the
opening, carried prices dow’n nearly 20
points, but there was such a general
disposition during the afternoon to
take profits tor "Xmas money,” that
the covering by shorts caused a sharp
rally before the close, thus leaving
prices at the end of the day very
close to those of early morning, and
approximately 5 to 7 higher from last
night. The fictitious nature of this
recovery may be Judged by the facts
that spots throughout the South are
from one-eighth to three-sixteenths
lower and that middling cotton is
quoted easy in New Orleans at 7 3-16 c.
’''he Xmas holidays may now be said
.o be upon us. At the Cotton Exchange
the annual festivities will begin at
noon to-morrow, Dec. 22, and it w T as
but natural that the active shorts who
had accumulated big profits on short
side should be desirous of getting out
of their contracts so as to be able to
take part In the festivities without
any anxiety over their interests in
the market.

DRY GOODS MARKET.
New York. Dec. 21.—The dry goods
market Is on a substantial basis, and
there is little evidence of possible de
clines. The attitude of sellers is to
ward the maintenance of prices and
there seems to be little warrant for
any recession owing to the well sold
condition of many mills and the posi
tion of manufacturers regarding cot
ton.
