New York, Dec. 6.-There has been

New York. Dec. 6.-After opening
steady at unchanged prices to an adj
vance of 2 points. the cotton market
worked within narrow variations. Cables
were more favorable than expected. The
force of this feature was broken, how
ever by indications of a very heavy
movement of cotton at the ports and in
terror towns for this week. Weather
was reported favorable for plantation
work and getting cotton into the mar
kets. Southern selling orders became
feature here. March and May flu
lures were favorites with Wall Street
buyers. The local bears undertook sew
eral times to stampede the market but
failed i'll every instance, although caus-
ing some slight reaction by this means.
In the afternoon local traders picked
up little cotton on claims of lighter re-
ceipts for tomorrow. Short selling was
checked by claims that primary markets
were well supported by continued export
demand. The market closed steady at
1M3 points net loss.
