Nothing is shown to stimulate the
wool and hide market. The tone of
the market North is dragging. Trans
actions are limited to parcels for i'm
mediate wants. Good dry hides are
scarce at IL 1-2 to IA cents; wet
sailed command 2 cents.
A good demand for wheat contin-
nes, with very light offerings. For
No. 2 winter 20 to 75 cents is bid, but
farmers hold for higher prices.
The active demand for corn and
oats continues, corn being A. cents and
oats 80 to 80 cents.
There was nothing very noteworthy
or new in financial circles. Pension
certificates under large realizations of
the rapid advance sold at &c to "a
cents, but are offered in small lots at
20 1-2 cents. Treasury warrants ad-
vanced to 81 cents; for immediate pay
ment into the Treasury, dealers offer
80 1-2 to 90 cents. We think prices
will decline after the first of January.
o. X. accounts are quiet at 80 1-2 to
81 cents. Reward accounts are neg
ted at 20 to II cents.
I'D certificates are difficult of sale
Ipates $50 Is bid and $50 asked.
Straights are scarce, but the demand is
very light. We quote them at 800
nominal. Internationals. are-irm at
$225 to $685. for GAO acres.
There is good demand for ex-

that the Teller committee could not use

opinion that the money cannot be used
by the Teller committee without the
further action Of Congress. The third
section OF the act, however, makes Ger

Market Reports.
OFFICE OF FORSTER & Co., J
Bankers, AUSTIN, TINS, !

BANKERS, AUSTIN, TEEs-S,
December %, 1873.
The altogether uncomfortable wealth
er OF the preceding week has operated
adversely TO the course of general trade.
though great deal was done in holt
day goods.
1t is pleasure TO report continued
better feeling for cotton. We were
right to anticipate q falling off in re-
ceipts on account of too low a market.
The movement of supplies from the IN
terror to the seaboard continues TO de-
crease in volume, and although the
eonsumptive markets are slow and fiat.
yot the bears begin to see that the
short sales were excessive. Liverpool
rules the cotton market of the world,
and not New York. With an improved
tone at Liverpool, New York must fol-
low. To-day dispatches bring a firm
market at Liverpool at Esd for up
lands and 8 5-Sd for Orleans, with $500
bales Of American cotton. New York
opened quiet, but cotton is offered at
an advance only. Galveston is strong,
and factors ask higher prices; middling
3-4c; low middling 4c; good or
binary 2 Use.
The statiscal position of cotton up to
the twentieth instant is as follows {:
The total receipts have reached the
figure, since the FIRST of September, OF
1879, 155 bales against 2,10S, 2S1 bales
m 1877, while the exports from all
ports figure up to 1,26S, 335 bales,
against 994, 961 bales in 1877, leaving
a stock on hand OF !, 1O7, $50 bales,
The5ighter receipts ct the ports have
induced spectators to reduce their
crop estimates nearly 500, 600 bales.
Everything is done In New York by
fits and starts and the estimate is as
much too small now as it was too large
befOfe.
VIII cotton continue to advance? is
the question. We still are OF the opinion
that those able to hold should do so.
We shall see Cd IN Liverpool very
readily, but the market is likely to
fluctuate from now on. Cotton cannot
be produced for &c, and whenever an
article sells for less than tcosts to pro-
duce it, it ID simply question of time
TO see prices go up again.
Our market is excited and prices
very firm. We quote an advance of
5-5c 10 1~sc on all grades from last
weeks figures. We quote ordinary at
1-4c; good ordinary 6 3-4c to &c /;
low middling 7.1-sc to 2 3-sc; mid
ding z Lac to Lee, and Sc to lac
for good middling and above.
