NEW YORK, December 6.-Cotton
opened at unchanged prices to an advance
OF points, and worked within narrow
variations. Cables were more favorable
than expected. The force OF this feature
was broken, however, by indications OF
very heavy movement of cotton at the
ports and interior towns for this week.
The weather was reported favorable for
plantation work and getting cotton into
the market. Southern selling orders oe-
came a feature here. March and May flu
lures were favorites with Wall-Street
buyers. The local bears undertook several
times to stampede the market, but failed
in every instance, although causing some
slight reaction by this means. In the af-
ternoon, local traders picked up a little
cotton on claims OF lighter receipts for
tomorrow. Short selling was checked by
claims that primary markets were well
supported by continued export demand.
The market closed steady at la3 points
net loss.
