NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-Following Is a summary
OF Hubbard, Price & Co. cotton letter: The
market to-day has been nervous and unsettled.
The Liverpool market opened at an advance OF
about 4-64d. but under realizing sales prices de-
clined until at the close only l-64d Of the i'm
provement had been maintained. The stability
Of prices in New York. in the face OF disap-
pointing foreign advices, has been rem arkabie.
Opening quotations here were l to points
better than yesterday. A slight decline was
established and q subsequent reaction followed,
and before lo'clock 100 or 200 bales OF March
contracts had changed hands at l0c A
feeling Of excite ment and nervousness was evil
dent, lest the showing of Brddstpeet's with re-
gard TO the crop should affect the market de-
cidedly one way or the other. Prior to its pub
LEGATION the general impression had been that
its crop estimates would be about G, 200 900
bales; whom therefore, It was announced at
O'Clock its figures were 6,4C0,000. an immediate
relapse in prices followed, and March contracts
sold as low as 9.90c. The depression, however
was not long continued. and before 2 O'Clock
IL had been almost entirely recovered under the
stimulus Of q very Light interior movement.
Advices from Washington with regard to the
anti-option bill have contributed toward the
stability of the market. No action was taken
upon the bill yesterday"
