Cotton Letter.

New York Dec. 20.-The new week starts
with somewhat more life to the trading
of cotton. Liverpool was Unexpectedly ia
vorahle this morning, prices advancing
there 1h-64ths. Our market opened to 5
points higher in consequence. The encour-
aging Liverpool and moderate receipts, to-
gether with the bad weather in the south,
would cause the movement to continue
small, stimulated buying and the market
was extremely steady throughout the day.
Local shorts did some covering. May, which
is now the most active month, opened at
$50, advanced to $3.50 and closed at $50 to
5.91, with the tone of the market steady.
The bulls have taken great heart at today s
small advance, but we fear that it is not
time yet for any important movement.

time after the opening the general list

making fractional advances. Sugar and

day, the former opening at 1854 advance

short time after the opening, declined to

New York, Dec. 2O.--The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says:
The stock markets here today were of the
holiday kind, with irregular movement and
a rather dull tone generally because of the
territorial squabble in China. Japanese
bonds were fiat.
Americans were good on New York sup
port and closed steady.
There is surprise here that New York
should be looking for gold the belief here
being that none will go there from London
until either the New York rises consider
ably or the London market declines, neither
of Which seems probable at present.

New York. Dec 20.-The cotton market
opened quiet and firm at an advance OF
9d5 points, English cables being encour-
aging and weather in the cotton belt point
ing to some interference with the move
ment, preventing work in cotton fields,
where cotton remains unpicked. Through
out the session traders were hesitating, and
the volume of business was small. The
recurrence of the holidays caused the trade
to close unsettled, and outside speculation
was very slack There was moderate
quantity of limited buying orders from par
ties who had been steadily buying for in
vestment purposes recently in small way.
Following the first call the market got
down 2@3 points on local liquidation in the
absence of outside support, but by noon
was back to the best point and the best
prices of the session and ruled fairly ac-
tive with local covering a feature The
market closed steady at net gain of to
