The movement slnee Heptemlier 1 shows
There was again nn especially
Islng by room traders.
The cotton markets for futures Haturdni
were small and uninteresting. Trading fi
nractlealbr at a standstill, the public hold
ing aloof, while the professional element
ay . _
present conditions they are satisfied with a
very small profit.
Tne Liverpool market closed somewhat
lietter than expected In the spot depart
ment. 10 points up at 6.70. Spinners' tak
ings were very light, only 4,000 bales lielng
sold. Fntnrea did not meet expectations,
the dose being 1 to 4ft points up, whereas
aboat t points advance had been looked for.
Following Is the range In the active
months In Liverpool today:
Open. High. Low.
December 6.62 6.62 6.48
January-February .5.46ft 6.40ft 6.42
Msrch Aprll 6.46 6.46 6.40
May-Junc 6.48ft G.48ft 6.42
The New York market was very dull even
for the Hattarday half-holiday session. First
prices were 4 points higher to 3 points low
er, January showing the greatest advance,
while March the 3-polnt decline. During the
first hour January advanced 1 point to 9.32,
wing Saturday morning:
"The Liverpool and New Orleans markets
will be closed on Monday and Tuesday.
and the New York market will be closed
Tuesday. Under these conditions, we can
hardly expect much of a market today nor
Monday. Don't think there will be the
firmness In the market as It was yester
day.”
In view of the fact that tha Christmas
holidays made It Impossible to give the re
ceipts at the ports correctly, the following
table, giving tho receipts for each day
compared with the last year and the year
bafor*—the latter the big crop year—will be
of Interest:

RANDOLPH COTTON LETTER.
Atlanta. Dec. 29.—The old year la al
most at Its close, tod we nre about to en
ter the new. Let us hope It will bring
ns much prosperity to the whole country
as did 1906. The Influence of the holidays
was apparent In the English cables today.
Trading wo* very quiet all day. and after
opening unchanged, when due to come
point* higher, prices closed at a net ad-
van.-e of 1&2U (mints only. English spot
market was 10 points higher on sales of
4.000 bales. Small spot Mies nre the us
ual thing during the holiday week. New
York opened .steady, paying little atten
tion to the decline abroad, and was dull
during most of the se*slon, closing fair
ly steady at a net decline of 6#8 points.
The*e seemed fo be some demand for Jan
uary with very little offering. There was
March by one of the brokers who was
heavy buyer of January ngnlnst sales of
Kite months earlier In the week. The
week-end figures of Hester were bullish
from a mill-taking standpoint, 262.000 latles
Mug taken, against 188.0W last yenr. This
leaves us ahead df Inst year for the sen
fin 184.000 hales, which Is a gradual In-
trredse for the past three weeks. I do uut
look for much activity until after the
turn of the year, then If receipts full tiff

New York, Dec. 29.—The Bun says: ‘‘The
market yesterday made up all that It had
Ipst In n week. It was notice day, and
notices were Issued on About 75,000 fifties.
Instead of weakening the market, this
seemed to have a strengthening effect, and
there was a reason. A great deal of cot
ton was tendered by |>eople who did not
want to lose the cotton, nnd who Issued
the notices Intending to stop them them-
—'Ives. Some changes In the personnel of
nils. It Is said, were effected by the ten-
lerlng nnd tnklug up of cotton. Wall street
nine and took up enough cotton to give
he whole deal a bullish Influence. The
New York cotton exchange Is being at
tacked from so many sources ns an enemy
of the cotton tnun that, porkuiis, there
whs Just a little c-cntlment In the effoit
made by certain people to hold up prices
yeslerrlny. The public did uot come In.
nnd shows no Inclination to buy cotton at
them* prices. The market was steady all
day, nnd. although It was dull at times,
there wan no time when It showed any
weakness. During the Inst hour It hail
plenty of support, nnd It was said that
an* effort was lielng made to drive out
Jamisry shorts."

STOCK LETTER
New York, Dec. 29.—Today's stock
market was rather steady during the
early trading, but the volume of busl
ness was too small to produce a widt
range of price movement. The cop
per stifeks were steady during the
early trading. Near the time for the
bank statement the market became
weak on heavy offerings of Reading.
St. Paul and Union Pacific. The buy
ing-power is nut aggressive enough to
hold the market at the high level. The
hank statement was somewhat worse
than expected, which was not In fa
v«r of values. Professional traders
and the outside public are Inclined to
await some further development rela
tive to money conditions before taking
any active Interest Ir. the stock mar
ket. The return of money to New
York will surely follow the payments
of end-of-year dividends and interest
disbursement, taking place January* 1.
After this time monetary conditions
will naturally Improve and genera!
conditions will warrant an aggressive
campaign for a bull market. In the
meantime we forecast a steady, but
narrow market In which day to day
traders must be satisfied with small
profits.
Must Opan on Inaida.
Special to The Georgian.
Brunswick, Ga.. Dec. 29.—Under an
ordinance recently passed by the city j
council, all gates within the city limits!
