NEW YORK, December 3O.-Cable ac-
counts were unsatisfactory this morning,
ana our market opened with prices I'M
changed TO points lower. Following the
first call, there was n further decline Of
2qS points indicating a liberal movement
OF cotton next week, and outside specula-
ton not cutting the figure relied upon by
the leaders OF the bull contingent. Wall
street operators continued 10 sustain a
supporting relation 10 the cotton market.
although this class OF trading to-day was
rather less than at any time since thew
began TO give attention to the staple.
Their subsidng interest was accounted
Tor by the holidays at hand. Trading
generally, possibly for the same reason
was within conservative lines and the
scope OF fluctuations for the entire ses-
sion was only matter of points, with
the market finally steady, at a net loss
OF 2a3 points. There was very little dis
position 10 sell cotton Notwithstanding
the TACT that estimates point TO large
receipts for tomorrow Part of the later
feature influences were generally of a
bullish character, including encouraging
accounts as 10 the way the year is wind
ing up in dry-goods and cotton-spinning
centres in this country and abroad. Re-
ports from southern spot markets were
also OF favorable character.
