New York, Dec. 21-Clapp & Co., in
their weekly review of the markets say
of cotton: Manchester and Lancashire
business is reported duh and of a waiting
character. Texas cotton in many in
stances average so to 90 lbs. per bale more
than ordinarily. The amount coming in
sight to December II is 5.876,921 bales,
against 1856, 947 bales same time last year
and 5,796, 290 bales up to December IS,
1891. December receipts have been nearly
20 per cent. larger than December, 1891
and spinner's takings this month less thasl
last December. Nearly half of all port
receipts recently have been at New Or
two ports thus far are more than half of
total exports to date. and over % per cent.
more than last season. The amount
brought in sight weekly continues large,
and on January / will likely be larger than
any previous similar date, or about $4,000
bales. Egyptian exports have been
about $4,000 bales larger than in 1888; In
dia about $1,000 bales less. The Chron-
icle reports picking is drawing to close
excellent progress has been made in the
marketing of cotton. Rain has fallen
spinners' takings have been 11,704 bales,
against 75S,47S bales last year. 1t is re-
ported foreign spinners' stocks are double
those q year ago, and ours may also De
double if truth were known.
Total exports this season have been 2i.7
per cent more than last year. Exports of
/ cotton manufacturer goods ndst Ten
months of 1894 exceed those of 1893 about
IL Der cent Strong operators and good
merchants appear to have been liberal
sellers the past few weeks, and belated
bulls and shorts the buyers. Silver has
again declined to q 7-l6c., the lowest price
on record. Cotton trade sentiment con-
tinueS bulliSh. eSterddy the largest duC-
ton sale consisting of 1900 cases cotton
goods, was made at about or per cent:
under market values. It is considered
favorab BILE to business. Prices rule now
near the lowest recorded. We look for
a decreased movement in January, and
more hopeful views on the part of spin
ners, investors and spectators. The
Liverpool cotton market will be closed

/ New York, Dec. 21.-Riordan & Co. say
/ of cotton to-day: Cotton was more act
| i've to-day, but it was at the expense of
| values. The movement was in excess
! Of all expectations. nearly half million
| of bales having been adding during the
week to the crop in sight. The decline,
which was slow and stubbornly contest
cd, was caused by further liquidation of
long cotton. The buying was mainly to
| cover shorts Although the outlook to-
day seems to be that prices viii be lower,
the bear leaders showed nervous anxiety
| TO cover. Had it not been for the heavy
| buvfng for their account, the break would
| probably have been more serious. May
