Tb** following tnble shows receipts at the Interior towns today, compared with the •star day last year: EDMUND & CHARLES RANDOLPH COTTON LETTER. Atlanta, On., Dec. 2f.—The market today has been another holiday affair, with a sagging tendency on account of tomorrow being flrat tender day on January contracts In New York. The opinion now is that a good many notices will be circulated and give us a lower market for tomorrow. 1 venture the assertion,- however, with the big difference between spots and futures, m well as thirty-odd points between January and March, alt tenders will be readily absorbed by the moneyed Inter- JM, no matter what the grade. In fact, 1 rather look for the very people who hake the tenders to be the most urg- tnt buyers, after the break, so as to **et their cotton bock, selling March against the purchase, which pays the member of the exchange very nicely on his transaction, giving him good Interest on his money, besides a small amount *n the carrying difference. The foreign Market closed 4 points lower than pre vious dose, when they were due un changed to 1 1-2 points higher. New T°rk is still 70-odd points under the •Vw Orleans markst on January con tacts, which shows what the actual cotton Is worth. New York closed Jgfdy at a decline of 9 to 10 points, *n!ch leaves Liverpool to come 1 1-2 Points lower tomorrow. Receipts con tinue large, estimates for tomorrow be ta* 13,000 bales over lost year at the tw«e Important points—'Houston, Gal- Jwon and New Orleans.—Herbert H. Brown, Manager.

The ouly feature abroad was buying of lots positions by Interests on the conti nent. Locally the recent demand for Jan- uary provoked much comment, and wi S oneraIly believed to mean that cotton te„- ered will he atopped promptly, aa present difference* make euch a course practicable. Tomorrow is notice day on January cot ton. All open contracts lu loug January cotton omit be closed before 12 noon, New York time. York, Dec. 27.—Liverpool was due 1VH|2 to higher. Opened 101% lower.

New York Commercial An effort la being made to put Into the new Oklahoma constitution, now being drafted, a clause providing for the weighing and classing of cotton by the state. The teems to l>e no reason why the state thov not Inspect cotton as well ns grain. Sup pose Texas had a state Inspection, and put a stamp, “Texas cotton," on every bale raised in that state. It would certainly protect the buyer who wauts Texas cottou, and tend to iucrease the value of every bale of cotton raised in the Lone Star State. There are many ways In which the cotton grower could be benefited by Intelligent legislation, without nil efforts In a legisla tive way being directed against the cotton ‘-►changes. Into-slgbt figures during January are go ing to look very big when they nre com pared with those of the big cron year. It must be remembered, however, that during January two years ago the South was really holding cotton. There has been, n good deal of advice given to farmers this year to hold their cot ton, and It must have had some sort of ef fect, although the general opinion lu the market Is that there has been but little holding "A better market after the holidays," the prediction, but there seems little reason for expecting any great excitement this week. There was n Joint conference of repre sen tat Ives of the English cotton mill em- 6 layers and operatives the other day on holiday question. The operatives want cd 128% hours a year for holiday p but nu agreement was finally read iur holiday time at 116%<jiours n year. The Board of Trade returns for November show that cotton yarn exported, compared with November lost year, decreased by 630,- 500 )K>undH. l>nt for the eleven months there is nu iucrease of 4,896,000 pounds compared with n similar period In 1906. Cotton man ufactures exported deerensed on the month by 28.118.few yards, but for the eleven months show aa Iucrease of 117,606,000 yards. The imports of raw cotton Into Barcelona during the season of 1906-06 were ns follows: American 237,640, Egyptian 21,246. East lu- dlnn 46,065. Smyrna 11.203, and sundry 10,675, or a total of 826.448 bale*. r A desp - .tnerlcaa cotton In Japan, and Is spending a great deal of money try ing to establish the cotton-growing Industry I u Corea. A growing Industry on the continent Is the manufacture of Imitation silk from cot ton. The cotton is treated with sulphuric acid, ns in the manufacture of gun cotton, and by n secret process the latter Is spun Into n silky filler which can only be dis tinguished by chemical means from the rent article. Any fabric made of silk Is closely imitated in this, and not only Is the wear excellent, but the articles can bo washed without detriment. The Inflammability which prevented the ndoptlon of the Indus try lu this country lias now been gotten over by u special process, and the entire cost Is one-third that of silk. The use of cotton ns a substitute for silk should be come general. _ Gaddiiiii k Co. write from Bombay under date of December 1: "Our market baa been quiet but remarknldy steady for the past fortnight,-prices of nil kinds being un changed with the exception of good and (he fine Broach, which stand 4 rupees higher than when we Inst reported.

READING THE LEADER Standard Oil Interests Quiet Buyers and Helped Cause Strong Tone. Sew York, Dec. 27.—Today's mar ket rose mainly In consequence of Its own oversold condition, which was pretty apparent at the close of busi ness yesterday. On the resumption of business In London the financial com munity were confronted with another unfavorable showing by the Bank of England. Reserve fell oft nearly (6,- 000,000, Indicating that the arrivals of Paris gold had been absorbed, with a large loss besides by the demands of the home Interior. This drain, how ever, as Is well understood, always oc curs at this time of year, and In the usual course of events Is quickly re plenished after' the 11-st of the year, when the settlement requirements are over. Accordingly, while the proportion of reserve to liabilities has fallen off from 84 1-2 to 37 1-4 per cent on the week, tho bank statement occasioned no uneasiness In today's transaction on the foreign security markets.
