New York, Dec. S1-The year closes with
strong indications of a bull market for cot
ton. Lighter receipts and big exports were
too much for the bears and to-day's clos
ing prices are fully thirteen points higher
than yesterdays. March opened at 692c
and advanced to 706c, closing at 7.O5G77. 06c
with the tone firm. After close bidders were
Offering 706c for March. j. this
the beginning of a material Improvement
in prices? That is the question that the
whole trade is asking just now A large
majority OF the local traders are inclined
to answer in the Affirmative, but all de-
pends upon the receipts in the immediate
future. If in the first weeks of the New
Year the movements should continue to
dwindle, as we hope and believe II will,
much higher prices may follow; but If we
should have a renewal of the big receipts,
which caused the recent depression, the
disappointment and disgust Of the bulls
may occasion another set back. We think
however, no matter what the reports may
be, that no very serious decline can now
occur. The general tendency Of the mar
ket we believe, win be upward. Though
frequent reactions may be expected we
favor buying upon all declines and taking
3, profits upon moderate bulges.
