New York. Dec. 14-The Suns cotton re-
view says: The early advices from Liver
pool, although they showed some advance
there, were unusually disappointing, and
caused selling, which led to a decline OF
about points. Liberal receipts at the ports
also had more or less depressing effect But
later on, owing to more bullish advices from
Liverpool, Manchester and the south. and
buying for domestic and foreign account,
there was rally at one time. Prices were
about points higher than at the close yester
day. Mr.. Ellison's statistics were considered
rather b1llish, and foreign trade appears to
be improving The position, moreover, Is again
made that the crop movement in this country
will show noteworthy decrease. Receipts
at the ports to-day, however, are much
larger than on the same day last year. while
the receipts at the interior towns were also
pretty liberal, and the market ended only /
to points higher than yesterday, the tone.
however, was steady. Sales of zoo 700 bales.
Liverpool advanced l to > points, closing
firm. with spot sales of IA 900 bales at an ad-
vance Of l-l6d. In Manchester. yarns were
steadier and cloths were steady. New Or
leans declined5 points, but recovered this and
advanced points, some of which were after
wards lost. spot cotton here was
l-l6c higher, with sales of 81
bales for spinning, and deliveries
on contracts Of 800 bales. There was an
advance of 1-l6 to sc at six of the southern
markets. New Orleans sold 1000 bales. Re.
ceipts at New Orleans were estimated at 8 600
to 5000 bales, against IL ,246 bales on the same
day last week and 8 703 bales last year. The
receipts at the ports were AZ, S47 bales against
1881 bales on the same day last week and Is, '
310 bales last year. Total thus far this week,
2486l5 bales, against 25I,726 bales thus far
last week, Exports from the ports, Is ,352
bales; Great Britain, 800 bales; Frame, ,6T2

New York, Dec 14.-Riordan & Co say OF
cotton 1.-The attitude of Liverpool to day at
10 O'Clock was rather disappointing, and our
opening was at decline of points. March
selling on the call at 1886 But that was the
lowest for the. day Prices gradually hard
ened and when IL became known that Ellison
has estimated the stocks of Great Britain and
the continent at only 900 bales against
478,O00 bales at this time last year, and had
put the weekly consumption at high figures,
the demand improved and prices soon rose
above last nights closing. March advanced
to 7.97c, but the improvement was not fully
maintained, and the close was steady with
192c bid for March. The receipts which were
as large as usual to-day, are the nightmare
of the friends of cotton. From every part of
the south We hear talk of exhaustion and pre-
dictions that the receipts will fall perpeadc
ularlv within week or two. But we have
been hearing the same kind of talk for more
than month, and it has become trite
monotonous. II receipts keep up at this rate
much longer prices will certainly go lower
than ever but if receipts fall off as we are
promised they shall, we shall have a quick
ADVANCE and big one"
