Dec. 10.—Futures In Liver pool have shown hesitation for the past four days and seeemd In need of n reaction. The lower closing on our side yesterday more than the result the bureau publication, as spot huslnes* I* good. Total sales today were 16,000. Our market opened a few points lower, followed by further decline on more liquidation hr longs. Unfortunately, people htok for such a small estimate that they Justly fear that they will be dUappoluted. nud are selling out. Another fs*-t against bulla is that help by bull speculation In the Mouth has been so restricted by laws, and the tiear element has gained no much In power thereby that It la being well recognised, that the estimate must be small enough to keep bears In check, or the market will »>e attacked by foreign bear Interests. In the long run It will, of course. In- different, as we have no doubt that enot* are going to win out on supply and demand. Jim s* with future*, some owner* of spot* do not care to take ehauees on the huresti ami want to sell before. This Is the rnnse for the freer offerings here and there, but the tendency It by no mean* general. Stmt buyers are Inclined to hold off until after the publication.
