Thursday, Dec. 3, 80.


Dear Sir-Our market opened
3 to 5 points higher in response
to the favorable attitude Of
Liverpool, and advanced 2
points additional shortly after.
owing to the light receipts.
Later heavy selling by New
York in this market, and lack
of outside support. caused
prices to break 9 points from
the top, making the net loss on
the day 5 points.
Secretary Hester issued the
November movement today and
it shows that during the month
this year 1.64O,OOO bales were
brought into sight, as compared
to 1, ,313, 900 for November last
year, 2,191, 900 for the same
time year before, and 1,675, 200
for the corresponding period in
1893. The total brought into
sight for the first four months
of the season has been 4,700, ,00C
bales this year, against 8, 3,5S4, ,00(
for the same time last year,
5, ,0O2, 900 for the year before
last. and 3,S28,OOO in 1893. The
movement is looked upon as
being large. but many contend
that it is no criterion of the
crop.

of all controversies between the

good prospects of a final settle

it is not probable that Mayor

in the way of the people giving ex-

on this question at the earliest
available opportunity; when such
can be obtained at little expense
to the city as would be the case at the
coming election. Let us get this
