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.

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.

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. SPOT COTTON AT NEW YORK.

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 steady, with net gains of 4 to 6 points. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

J. S. DACIIB A CO.’S 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 speculative account* will be evened DEMERE L HAMMOND, Brohers, Phone* 150$ Oft;c No. 24 Bryan street, E*st.

DECEMBER 22. 1904. 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.
