| NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Liverpool opened with
| an advance Of 6-o4d, then further improved
| l-6402-64d. This was considered a satisfao-
| tory response to our advance Of yesterday, con-
| sequenty this market opened fairly active and
firm at an advance of 10 points, further gaining
| 400 points with shorts active buyers to cover
contracts, being the direct result of more
hopeful feeling among operators that the anti
| option bill will be defeated. Liverpool reported
| further advance of 2-64d. which also helped
strengthen values. However, tbs market
| turned weaker and prices dropped l26 IA points,
with people who had bought on the break,
caused by fear OF the anti-option bill, selling to
realize profits. Liverpools closing cable re-
ported reaction of 1-64@264d, which added to
the weakness. Port receipts for the day were
estimated at $4,000 bales last week %, 426 bales.
last year 43, 645 bales Fluctuations were rapid
| in the afternoon and within a narrow circle.
Contradictory reports as to the extent Of New
Orleans receipts tomorrow tended to uI settle
| values There was an advance of 3-16c in the
local market for spot cotton. which brought
quotations up to 9s4c, but here, as in Liverpool.
| purchases of the actual stuff was entirely too
light to impart confidence to SPECTATORS in fu-
lures Estimates OF the interior movement for
the week make the probable movement 10000
| bales possibly less, The actual receipts at all
the ports for the day foot up 49, 93s bales snst
% 423 bales last week and 43 646 bales last year.
NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The following summary
Of Hubbard, Price & Col letter is as follows:
The readiness with which the market responds
to the natural and legitimate influences favoring
higher prices for cotton is shown In the course
Of prices at Liverpool to-day. That market
has been generally advised of the growing be-
lief that the anti-option bill would not become
law, and as a result futures In Liverpool are
from 10-6401I-64d higher at the close to-day
than they were yesterday, which is equivalent
to nearly &c pound addition to the value Of
the unsold portion of the American cotton
crop. The New York market opened with an
advance of 10 points improved more, and
then reacted about points. The best fnforma-
ton we can get from Washington is that con-
fgress Is commencing to appreciate the vicious
ness Of the anti-opton bill and its leaders have
hardly the temerity to push it further. During
the afternoon the market was comparatively
quiet but developed more or less nervousness
under fear that the news with regard TO the
anti-option bill was almost too good 90 be true.
