NEW YORK, Dec 28 Weakness in Liverpool cables resulted in the cotton market here opening quiet, with prices showing irregularity, ranging 3 points higher to 9 points lower than last night’s lose. Immediately after the outset, the ring crowd and the I'ell interests turned ;< gainst the market, liquidating heavily. December dropped to 12.52 and January to 12.51, ami within fifteen minutes prices ; ggregatc.l 5 to 11 points, decline in ac live positions from the initial quotations. After the call, a few points of the loss was regained through a wave of buying from the sp< i interests. However, the bull leaders were m t active, and it is said they are not likely to make an ap pearance until after the first of the year NEW ORLEANS.

CHICAGO, Dec. 28. - Losses of t g c to 3 bc were marie in wheat this morning with the unfavorable weather in the Ar gentine Republic, the lower prices at Liv erpool. Paris and Antwerp, and the in creased offerings in the markets of the Old World of Argentine wheat. Some of the long sellers seemed to have fallen off somewhat. Top prices were shaded right after the sales were made. Corn was %<• to Vic lower on the bright weather and the increased movement from the hands of farmers. There were 700 cars at Chicago this morning. Cables were somewhat unsettled and Argentine corn at Liverpool was fractionally higher. Oats were a trifle lower and trade was small. Hogs were lower at the yards and pro visions were off fractionally in sympathy. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKED. Grain quotations: Open. High Low.

Dec. 27.—Ju save of firm! • aides the cotton market opened barely ; i steady today with first prices showing ir- i i regularity, ranging from I to 7 points ( higher to 1 to 6 points decline from the ! • losing quotations of Tuesday. Trading ! at the outset was somewhat mixed. The ring crowd inclined to liquidate, also com mission houses sold. However, the buying was rather general and prices during the first fifteen minutes were held about the initial figures. After the call the market became inact ive and prices receded 2 to 8 points on near months from the opening. The larger spot interests were good buyers. There was an absence of any bullish news regarding ♦he spot situation, but these interests con tinue their aggressiveness, asserting that the long side is the safest. The showing was somewhat of a sur prise, in view of the firm cables and re flected heavy selling movement by a num | ber of Wall Street and uptown houses. There was very little support from bull quarters until March and May dropped to 12.70. During the late forenoon trading, the market was dull and featureless, with scattered buying and selling predominat ing. The leading spot interests were ihe principal buyers on the decline, which i caused the steadiness, checking a fur ther decline. Trading was of a light character during the entire day, with a narrow range in prices. It is not ex pected there will be any material changes in prices until after the lirst of the year. The Balkan situation is causing consid erable uneasiness among traders, and the most conservative operators are advising caution in trading; also the next census report, which will show the number of bales ginned to January 1. The ‘bulls’ argument is that this report will show a material decline in ginnings for the pe riod. and until this report is out of the way, the market will be only a traders' affair. A sudden selling wave prevailed upon the market during the last half hour, com ing chiefly from Memphis brokers and the Pell interests, resulting in a rapid de vline of 8 to 10 points from the early low levels. At the close the market was steady, with prices showing a net decline of 10 to 18 points from the final quota tions of Tuesday. ! RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES. Is I “ | ® ?

HAYWARD A. CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW <>RLEANS. Dee. 27.—There were no decisive political developments over the holidays. So far. London news does not justify the anticipated smoothness and speediness in the adjustment of the Balkan question. On the other hand, neither has any danger cropped out. Liv erpool again came in very strong; futures 5 points better than due: spots 5 points up: sales 4,000 bales. Notwithstanding this, our market opened about 6 points down and remained flat and easy. It looks as if the relaxation in speculative ac tivity at this time of the year Is being cleverly made use of by professional lead ers to. improve the parity between the markets. Liverpool had lately dropped too far behind, but now seems to receive profes sional backing in preference to our mar kets. Although quiet, our market held steady around 12.90 for March. The in significant concession to holidav conserva tism speaks for its technical composi tion and shows how well held is the in terest and confidence in the bull posi tion.
