COTTON LErTERs.

New York, Dec. 6-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say of cotton: Our market has again
to-day been affected more by the DISPOSE
ton TO accept profits than by the move
ment of the crop, though the last has
shown an Increase over last week Still,
the movement does not point to anything
more than a moderate crop, and how the
crop is to be moved to Liverpool for con-
sumption, In face of the discounts exist
ing there, is a conundrum to the trade.
Our cables state the European markets
We're affected by an impression that there
was more desire to sell on the part of the
South, which Is not yet seen on this side
of the Atlantic. The absence OF any short
interest here Is the clearest evidence Of
the belief of the trade that this is a re-
action and not o decline. The volume Of
outside buying. II must be admitted Is not
as large as on the previous decline.
New York, Dec. 6.--Murphy & Co.'S cot
ton letter says: Liverpool was 1-16d lower
on spots this morning and about 4-6I low
er on futures. This was more decline than
was expected and caused our market 10
open to points lower than our close Of
yesterday. At the opening there was con-
siderable covering by locals, and this car
red prices down some points further,
but al this decline a good demand for in
vestment buying showed Itself. and prices
advanced to about the opening figures,
where II remained The balance of the day.
Receipts were heavier than yesterday, but
about 10000 bales behind last year

Savannah, Dec. 6.-The feature Of the
markets to-day was the advance of cents
on all grades of rosin. For several days
past resins have commanded prices above
quotations in some instances, and those
grades which sold on a basis of quotations
were very strong. The belief that there
may be an early shrinkage in receipts
doubtless influenced the advance to some
extent. The current opinion was that the
situation was not strong at the advance,
however, and the indifference of buyers
showed they were not anxious to enter
the market as long as there is any chance
of hammering down prices. Spirits tur-
pentine closed quiet at 4Sh cents, but IL
was stated the demand was moderate.
Domestic buyers were in for limited sup
plies which mode deliveries at the Cen
trail yards preferable. The cotton market
was quiet at decline of 1-16 cent on oil
grades. The wholesale markets We're
steady. Coffee advanced on the lower
grades from y to 1 cent. due to the de
mand and a change of belief as 20 the size
of the crop. The fact three large cargoes
of coffee are held in quarantine at New
York also had something to do with Inc
stiffening OF prices, The following re-
sumo of the different markets win show
the tone and quotations at the close to-
day:
