GIBERT & CLAY'S DAILY COTTON LETTER, New Orlenna, Dec. 14.—In Liverpool nptlonb ruled somewhat easier, finally closing five to six points lowqr thnn on the previous-day, and this (legate the fact that Jfol>ales continue on a large ffcale, 12,000 bates being traded*In today its compared with 14,000 yesterday. If any proof were necessary to demon strate the status of those *i>ectilntlveiy Inclined •that gome were clearly Indi cated by the gesults attained In today’s tradltig, wW*h the absence of the hith erto sustaining spot feature was made the moat of In creating a lower level of values. Unfavorable cables nnd the almost Irresistible weight of the move ment likewise aided materially the de cline. In so far aa statistics are. con cerned the tnfluefico* la so overwhelm ingly favorable to lower prices that It Is almost essential for a more regulnr, more even running and less spasmodic demand for cotton to prevail If a coun teracting balance la to he placed on Im minent supplier. In connection with the movement, it la Interesting to note the unprecedented rapidity with which the present growth thus far has been gathered, ginned and rushed to mnrket, and which naturally has caused the tremendous congestion of traffic nil through the cotton district. However, relief may come with the Christiana holldaya and the cotton thus set In mo tion mny aid materially In swelling an already liberal movement.
