COTTON LETTERS $,

New York, Dec. 16.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say of cotton to-day: "Our market
has been affected entirely to-day by the
weakness in the European and American
stock markets, due to the British reverses
in South Africa. No attention is paid to
the light movement, except to induce some
covering by the limited short interest. LID
uidation for Wall street and nearby South
ern points was a controlling factor, and,
While commission houses received many
small buying orders, they We're not sufh-
cient to absorb the pressure to sell long
cotton. The closing quotations were about
the lowest as the covering of the local
ers in the last few moments. Undoubted-
ly the effect of a decline in securities will
deprive the market of the support of the
speculative buying from financial centers,
but the light movement may cause Euro
pean buying. rather better Liverpool
is expected on Monday on the movement"
New York, Dec. 16-Murphy & Co. S
cotton letter says: Liverpool was un-
changed on spots and Id to 2-64d lower on
futures. The severe decline in English
opening of the stock market, and this,
together with selling orders, caused our
market to open +d6 points lower than the
close last night, and a further decline of
some points. Receipts continue very
light, about $4,000 at the ports to-day,
against 49, 200 same day last year. Total
port receipts this week were 229, 900, against
326, 900 same week last year. Houston ex-
poets 5000 to 1000 Monday, against 5000
last year. New Orleans expects 11,00O to
1900 Monday, against 1900 last year.
