Cotton Letter.

New York Dec. 15.-The cotton market opened dul but steady this morning and sold around 5.70 for January nearly all the morning, but after the noon hour had passed developed some weakness owing to the heavy port receipts for to- day and the heavy estimates for tomor- row There was very little trading sn cotton today and the foreigners were principally sellsrs This had tendency to put the market lower which 1t did; however, only 3 to points. We do net expect to see the cotton market do much before the holidays, but think after the holidays cotton will sell much higher. Tha estimate for New Orleans tomorri9w is 1300O to 14,000 against about 5000 this day last year.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-The grain market did not show the expected strength on the opening this morning but did not remain at the low prices very long. however. May wheat sold as low as 9OA @90ss, then scdd up to 91 but lost this advance and sold back to 9O3s and nsar the close sold up again to BIS, with good buying and slight offerings. Wheat looks higher and purchase will render a good profit. The country in general is short of wheat and the holders expect to make them pay for it, and this will be the outcome, probably dollar ct for May delivery. The corn market is doing nothing. There Is too much of .t and it will probably sell con- siderably lower
 Provisions are strdng.l One concern. in Chicago today bought over 5000 tierces of lard and a quantity of ribs. This strengthened the market and a strong close was the consequence.

New York, Dec. 15-Stocks opened Ia little under yesterdays closing figures and were quite duM during the morning session, but near the middle of the day t'hey began a gradual advance and ad- vanced from E to 11a per cent. with the exception of Manhattan which devel- oped much weakness and sold from 1O6A to 103h, 3A per cent loss. However, on some good buying this stock rallied to 105%, and remained around this figure for the remainder of the session. Sugar sold, extra dividend, 3 per cent. and opened at Al, sold to 140A then up to 141A, closing steady and fraotionalIy higher. There was quite a bull move- ment inaugurated this morning and took the general list right along and scored good improvements, among the indus trials principally. Western Union Tele- graph advanced 1 per cent. and sold to 90s4 this was on good reports from that company. The entire list looks strong and higher prices in stocks may be ex- pected.
