The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK coTToN MARKEr.

49, f" iOltIN WI oAS AK Ia
New York, Dec. 20.-To-day's market
for cotton, while irregular, was practi-
cally normal, except for a few belated
selling orders from remote points and
the liquidation of unmargined local in
terests with one interval of decided
weakness in the afternoon, when the
market broke 10 points on Wall street
rumors. Liverpool followed up her bull
lish leadership Of yesterday with n
hardening and more active market for
spot cotton, and a gain of 2h D3-64d in
futures. This show OF foreign firmness
made the opening of our market steady
al an advance Of 5 points. Good foreign
buying was a feature, but demand
from shorts was the best support the
market had. At the strongest interval
prices showed net rise Of SOLO points.
The advance was checked by selling for
the account of scattered holders, who
wished to reduce their holdings in an
ticipation of the holidays. The volume
of transactions, although considerably
smaller than yesterdays total, repre-.
sented an active market. But for the
afternoon break the general course OF
the market was strongly upward with
the close feverish at an advance of eos
points.
