NEW YORK, December 2L-Upon the
resumption of business at the Cotton Ex-
change it was discovered that orders
were very scarce. The local contingent
were practically In possession. without
ms ght 10 stimulate them 10 activity. The
English cables were disappointing, and
especially as TO the amount OF spot sales
at Liverpool. The Indifferent character
OF the foreign market for cotton future
sales acted as damper TO speculative
energy here. Our market opened quiet
and steady, with prices anywhere from
point higher TO point lower. The list
less character of the trading which
marked the opening call was scarcely
improved on for the rest of the session.
The entire range of the market for the
session was only matter of 5 points. A
few ventures on the long side OF the ac-
count were made on generally firm re-
ports received from southern spot mar
kets, In connection with the continued
heavy exports, and also stimulated by
continued favorable accounts from dry
goods markets and spinning districts as
TO the outlook for the distribution of
cotton goods, and the consumption OF
raw material in this country. The fact
that outsiders failed 10 take any interest
In cotton, TO speak OF. however, led TO
some liquidation Of long contracts. and
from an advance OF TO 4 points on
Fridays closing prices the market here
eased off under liquidation, and closed
steady, with prices unchanged 10 2 points
net higher.
