New York, Dec. S.-The cotton
market showed heavincss most OF the
session after having opened steady,
ut an advance Of 1 to 8 points. The
initial rise was poor response To
firm cables from the other side, and
though several of the leading COM
mission houses sought to bring about
a further Improvement, their efforts
counted for but little. and before the
first hour had passed prices were tend
ing slowly downward under sluggish
realizing and an absence of support
from the bull side. Later the dcclln-
ing tendency was accelerated by n
sharp tumble in Liverpool. said to
have grown out of rumored British
rcvcrscs in South Africa. leading to
heavy liquidation in that market. At
midday the market steGdied somewhat
on n lull in the selling movement and
talk Of possible squeeze in the jan
uary option OIL the other side. But
early in the afternoon the market
once more became unsettled, and
prices broke to the lowest level under
renewed liquidation. Larger receipts
for the week ut the interior towns
than estimated and Il claim that the
stocks given did not represent the
actual amount of cotton in store at a
number Of points, created an UNI
favorable impression. The bear crowd,
however, was held closely in check by
predictions for smaller receipts during
the coming week.
A feature OF to-day's speculation
was the undong OF straddles by arbi-
TRACE houses. The msrket at the close
