Hubbard. Price & Co. cotton circular says:
Our market opened at slight advance, and
Notwithstanding that receipts were reported as
very heavy, a comparatively firm tone was
maintained throughout the day. Anticipation
of tomorrow holiday, and the fact that this is
the last day In the year, induced some liquida
ton of short interest, and to buying for this
account may be ascribed better feeling In the
market Otherwise the general features are
unchanged
