New York, Dee. S.-Intimations of re-
newed strike troubles among the Lanca-
SHIRE cotton operatives were disregarded
as missionary work by the bears who
have recently become alarmed by the sta
biity of the market in the face of a bear
ish influence. To-day the market opened
tirm at gain of 4q5 points, and for the
rest of the session, without being active,
showed considerable strength. Efforts
made TO depress the market were met by
stubborn resistance and the cotton offer
ed in this way was promptly absorbed by
good parties. AT the best prices of the
session the market showed an advance of
SAG points on Yesterdays final figure. The
public cables from Liverpool did not re-
fleet any uneasiness in English manufac-
turing circles regarding strike difficulties.
The ~ English market closed at net gain
of FOL point A feature Of trading to-day
was rather steady buying for New Orleans
and European account. The market clos
ed firm at a net advance of 500 points.

New York. Dec 3.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton to-day: Liverpool again dis
appointed the bears this morning by add
vancing one-half siXty-fourth. This dis
patch was regarded as quite favorable and
the market here opened four points up.
Although there was slightly more activity
to the trading than for the past few days,
this was largely due to covering by the
local bears, one of whom bought heavily.
Selling orders were fairly plentiful, but
the local buying absorbed the offerings,
and the market had a decidedly steady
undertone all day.
THE movement for the week was heavy,
but as it fell slightly below that of the
same week in 1894, it had no depressing
effects. Just before the close there was
good buying for Liverpool and the mar
ket reached the best figures of the day.
January opened at $3.50, gradually ad-
vanced to SIDE and closed at that figure,
with the tone of the market firm.
THE buying to-day has hardly added
to the strength of the position"
