Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. S.-Another very dun
days trading in cotton resulted In slTght-
ly higher prices. The ssarly news was
rather an effect. Liverpool declined one
and a half sixty-fourths. but Manchester
trade reports wer9 good, and the LABOR
TROUBLES there were reported as settled.
Our market opened l to points lower.
AT the decline tine investment buying
which has been continuous of late, made
itself felt and-sslling orders made no I'M
preston upon prices. Receipts were
again comparatively moderate. In the
afternoon t:rnid shorts bought and prices
advanced. January opened at 5.66, rallied
NO $50, declined to 567, advanced to 5'f2
and closed at 5.72 to 5.73, with the tone OF
THE market steady. NO one seems TO
care to be rsssive ON either side az
present and the fight ait the moment is
between fnvest ment buyers and those
who sell against spot purchases.

New York, Dec. S.-The Evening Pos-s
London financial cablegram:
The markets today were inactive burt
cheerful, the feature being the buoyancy
of Americans and Argendnes. The
tones of the Americans were entirely
due to New York support. There was
good feeling here. but lJltle agitation.
The publication of Secretary Cages cur
rency plans had little effect. OF course
it is felt that if his scheme for an iss1e
of 21s per cert bonds, repayable. princi-
pal and interest, in gold coin, is carried
out a great Stride will be made toward
currency reform.
Prices closed ait the best. Southern
railway preferred was especially good.
Silver was fat on the announcement
that the Indian government would offer
next week forty lalShs of bills, when
only len was expected.
The Paris markets were irregular and
Berlin was firm.
