Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. S.-(Special)-Th receipts today werep retty full and Liverpool was lower, but our market in the forenoon was fairly steady with little change in prices in the afternoon, the large receipts expected at New Orleans tomorrow caused break in values. Stop orders were reached and a heavy liquidation set in. The sales of January were especially large and prices rapidly yielded. It was in vain that brokers told each other that there was no valid rea- son for the slump and that cotton had been low enough the selling orders came pouring in and the cotton was ruthlessly sIaught- cred. March, which had opened at 7.45 and rallied to 74s, was sold down to 7.S2. In the final trading there was a slight rally and the close was steady with 73f bid for March. Unless Liverpool should come to the rescue tomorrow it is to be feared that htere may be a renewal of the liquidation tomorrow with the inevitable result of still lower prices. RIORDAN & co.

Chicago Change,

Chicago, Dec. S.-Today's wheat market was down in the morning and up in the afternoon. Liverpool offered no, enoour- agement. Opening prices at that place were off l2d, at the opening and another half d before the close. When Bradstreet's re- port was published at noon the former de- crease in the worlds stocks set the "shorts" to cover and caused prices to advance about Ac. The large clearanees which continue at the seaboard are, more than anything else. the builish point at present. May wheat opened from S0A to soc, sold between 79lac and S1c closing at S0MQS07sc Cash wheat was irregular closing unchanged to Ac higher.
 The inactivity in wheat was not condu- cve to spirited action in corn. The ten dency was lower, weakness prevailing here as elsewhere. Bradstreets reported a de- crease in stocks of 95S,000 bushels Prices rallied with wheat later in the session. May corn opened at 26c, sold between 257sc and f6BM2514c, closing at the outside, Ac over yesterday. Cash eern was quiet and steady.
 Oats Appreciated early, but after noon the tone became steadier In sympathy with wheat. Bradstreets gave a decrease Of stocks of 346,000 bushels. May oats closed unchanged Cash steady.

. Suns Cotton.

New York. Dec. S.-Cotton-Spot cotton here declined 1sc with sales of 135 bales for spinning; 2,200 were delivered on contract.
 Weak longs sold out their holdings today, pointed Liverpool advices started the decline and on selling for local, southern and Liv- erpool account prices receded. There was nothing in the statistical news to justify the decline. The receipts at the ports and the interior towns were moderate and the total at the ports this week, it is estimated, will be no larger than last week, the total now being estimated at 270000 bales The quantity to come into sight is estimated by week.
 The 51ullness of spot cotton in this country and unfavorable adviees from Fall River were depressing factors.

DryGoods,


 New York, Dec. S.-The Journal of Com meroe and Commercial Bulletin in its week. ly review of the dry goods market today says: Several days of cold weather dur ing the past week stimulated business with retailers here and elsewhere to certain eX- tent and encouraged hopes of an improved trade with jobbers and later on in the pri- mary markets also. These hopes have hardly been fulfilled and business in both first and second hands has been of indiffer- ent volume in staples in all lines of sea- sonable merchandise. Staple cotton of all descriptions are low so far as new orders are concerned. but there is fair outward movement from thep rimary market on ac- the market for this easy and buyers fre- quently have the advantage, although quo tations are not openly reduced. The mar ket for raw cotton Is a weak element in the situation. Print cloths have an easier tendency, and with enormous stocks are a diSagreeable factor. Spring cotton goods have been in moderate request. There has been no material change in the wooien and worsted goods division. Collections are generally well reported
