New York Dec. 81 The Sun. in its review
OF to d ly'S cotton market. s lys: The Brad
erlng OF shorts, ald some buying for long &C
count caused an advance, in spite of the bank
failure, lrse receipts, and selling for local
aud southern account. At one time prices
here were aDoLt5 points lower. but this re-
covered and an advance followed OF 10 points.
Part of this was lost before the close. The
winding up, however, was very steady. The
sales were 141. % bales. Liverpool advanced
ulosed stead, with spot sales of 14,0O0
bales at unchanged prices. In Manches-
ter cloths were in moderate demand
New Orleans de3ined 1 to points. but re-
cotton here was l-16c higher with sales Of IUU
bales for spinning and deliveries OF 600 bales.
There was an advance OF l-l6o at four OF the
southern markets, and decline OF i-sc at one.
New Orleans Did 4G0J ales. The receipts at
the ports we're 80 .223 bales, against AZ e4T this
uay last week, and 2S6li last year. Total
thus far this week 244.255 bales against 2iS.-
SIS thus far, last week. Exports from the

receipts to morrow are estimated at 1000 to
II ,OJO bales against s.71s on the same day last
week. and 5,2J9 last year"
New York. Dec. 2l.-Riordan 4 Co. say of
cotton: To-day s market was an exceed
ingly nervous one. The attitude of Liverpool
was non -oOmmitial. and our opening was at
about last evening S closing prices 7.slc be-
ing bid for March on the call. After the call
the market declined the weakness being in
creased by the suspension of the St Nicholas
bank an institut on with which many houses
on the TX 4hange had close relations. But as
the hour approached when Bradstreet's crop
grew nervous and there was good deal of
buying to cover. Prizes rallied and March ad-
vanced to use. When the estimate OF $500 900
bales was 81 zen out traders simply would not
believe it. March advanced still further to
790c. but the day S receipts were heavy and
there was free selling at the advance. Prices
eased a lew points, but the close was very
steady, with 1855 bid for March The course of
prices tomorrow will largely depend up)n the
view that Liverpool taxes of Bradstreets
figures But whether we ivance or not, it is
until we have more convincing evidences of
approa hing eXha stlon than the movement
has so far afforded.
