New York Dec. 23.-Attention OF room
traders on the cotton exchange to-day
was given over largely to the adjustment
of accounts. Outside orders were very
scarce and trading came TO a fun halt
The scope of fluctuations was a mere five
point. and at no time during the session
could the market have been said to be
in control of either bulls or bears. Senti-
ment was very much mixed early in the
day owing to conflicting reports from the
South regarding the status of the spot
markets and to something of a surprise ia
the weeks statistical changes.
The opening was quiet and steady with
prices unchanged TO Two points higher the
better feeling resulting chiefly from more
favorable ables from Liverpool than had
been expected and Indications that receipts
would not exceed those of yesterday
Shortly after the call. however, the liqui-
dalton set in on small scale following a
slight reaction abroad and assurances that
the crop movement would considerably
overrun conservative early estimates
Several Of ihe leading bears aided the de-
cline by hammerng the March and May
deliveries. Later in the session business
fell off to the scattered operations Of the
professional element, who directed efforts
10 cleaning up affairs pending the three
days adjournment The South sold from
time 10 time during the day and a few mix
ed orders were received from Liverpool;
but this class Of business was too small 10
have great weight. The close was steady
with prices 1 to points net higher.
