New York, Dec. 2o.-Paine, Murphy &
Co. say of cotton: early cables were
about l point lower, but the final closing
prices We're half a point below yesterdays
close. The feeling here was considerably
mixed. The South was not prominent in
The buying, although The weather retards
picking. Port receipts were estimated
some 10000 bales less than last year The
regular holiday sentiment and immense
amount of cotton in hand at Liverpool
We're the weak features. Southern spots
were shade easier. The trading was in
small lots, and confined chiefly to the
local crowd. Wall street was again the
best buyer absorbing the offerings with
out disturbing the market until after the
second call. Prices We're about unchanged,
when in the last hour, on small realizing,
and a general disposition to wait. prices
receded l TO points, closing about points
below yesterday"
New York. Dec. 20.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say of cotton: Liverpool is steady. at
a shade lower, though advices report there
is pressure to sell spots at probably low
er than the cotton can be replaced in the
South. slow liquidation has been in
progress here all day, but was arrested
on the basis of 555c for May, by the pres
sure of resting orders at that price The
movement of the crop, when weather is
borne in mind, is very large throughout
the Southwest, though in the Atlantic
states 1t falls below last season. Upon
the demand from exporters and spinners
the market now depends. Spectators
have bought freely during the past month
and are now waiting to see if their con-
clusion are judged TO be correct by the
ultimate consumers"
