NEW YORK, December 9.-Speculation
In cotton was to-day the heaviest for some
months past. Fluctuations were frequent
and violent. At times, the course was
erratic, but realizing on longs kept the
prices within lie points, compared with
Yesterdays closing. The basis OF the i'm
provement was the unfavorable weather
conditions in the. cotton belt combined
with the generally favorable report OF
the English cables. The cold wave was
expected to continue for several days,
with the frost line already covering most
Of the cotton belt, and snow reported In
extensive districts. Trading stu favored
January. March, May and August. few
conservative parties sold freely on the
rise. Trading was more generally in
blocks than IL has been, and good parties
were buying, being encouraged 70 do SO
by strong spot cotton advices from south
ern markets, which indicated that export
ers and Americans were In keenest COM
petition for supplies. Just before the
close there was a sharp break under very
active selling, led by houses with English
and New orleans connections. Our mar
ket was fairly steady, at net advance
Of l to points. conspicuous feature
of early speculation was heavy covering
In the January delivery by a number Of
leading bears, who had held out all
through the recent advance, In the nope
OF a reaction. This demand caused rela-
tive strength in that option.
