days session Liverpool at one time de- cllned 21k-64d, but after getting the opening of the American markets regained the whole loss and closed same as yesterday. Spots declined 1-32 to 15-32 on sales of 6OOO bales. Our markets opened very steady, only points down, and gradually ad- vanced points, but as soon as the Janu- ary notices were circulated a good deal of long cotton was thrown on the market, causing a decline of about points. The market closed at 9.27@9.29 for January and 9.2509 26 for March, a shade better than the lowest point reached during the day. Spots were quoted steady and unchanged. Sales were 1850 bales on the spot and 800 to arrive. The amount brought into sight during the week amounts to 339 $50 bales, against 255,39S last year and 457, ,6S4 the year before. The visible supply shown an alarm" ing increase of 13O,169 American, against a decrease of 22S51 last year. The total fig uTes stand as follows:

 There are no indications of a let up in the movement in the near future, which may cause some bulls to increase their crop figures, and as soon as the govern ment estimate of 101 shall find more ad- herents we may see renewed liquidation.

PROFIT TAKING IN THE STOCK MARKET Came on Like a Flash in the
 Opening Dealings BEARS SCORED A FAILURE They Offered Prices Down in an Effort to DisIodee Long stock-Profit
 Taking Was Renewed in
 Force Before Close.
BEARS SCORED A FAILURE

New York December 2S.-The history of today's stock market does not materially differ from that of succeeding days for long time past; that is to say, selling to take profits came on the market like flash in the opening dealings, and the pro- fessional bears, constantly watchful for the first sign of reaction, which they know must inevitably come, offered prices down in an attempt to dislodge long stock.
 Their efforts were defeated, as they had been on many previous occasions. but the supporting orders which came into the stocks attracted new points of strength, which were confidently marshalled from among the stocks which have not yet en- Joyed any considerable rise. The point wherein today's market differed from those of recent stock exchange history was that the profit taking was renewed in force before the close and the unsettled condi- tion continued until trading ceased, prices that time showing wide declines from the best, and in some cases being we'll below last night.
 There were no remaining points of strength to sustain the market in the last break the ingenuity of the traders having apparently failed them,o or their industry in SSthlHS Oul ueW SlOckS DelnR overcome by very weariness Once again the often recurring cry of a year-end squeeze in the money market was raised this morning in connection with the opening attack on stocks.
 The late reaction in the market was un- explained by any special incident and was evidently due merely to a general desire to convert paper security into cash.
 The demand for bonds was not so con- spicuous as yesterday, but there were strong points in the market.

LITTLE TRADING t IN COTTON MARKET Decided Absence of Support in the Late Cotton Months SPECULATION WAS FEEBLE On the Opening the Market Was Quiet With Prices Lower-shorts Took
 Fright on Rumore and Ad-
 vance Began.
SPECULATION WAS FEEBLE

New York, December 2S.-Quite general buying of the near positions and absence of support in the late cotton months, with selling pressure from abroad caused a wid- enlng of the parity between these respec- tive options in today's market Taken as whole, speculation was feeble. So far as investment business was concerned, very little was done. Room traders were nandi- capped by conflicting reports in circula- ton concerning the long and short inter- ests in the January option, now the center of attraction. On the opening the market was quiet with prices 1 to points lower un- der light room and some foreign selling, all based upon the easier turn of the Liv- erpool market and under more liberal show ing of receipts.
 Soon after the caEl, near month shorts took fright on rumors that January was to be forced considerably higher. They claim that 10000 bales December notices had been issued and eagerly gathered in by expert and spot cotton houses helped to give the market a steadier undertone Prices readily responded to the change in the feeling, and as Liverpool quickly rallied to conform with uor frmness, a substantial net rise was soon recorded January climbed to 9.62 and December was also much firmer.
 Europe sold the far months as a hedge against large holdings in the winter posi- tions, with the result that the options tap cred off slowly. Early afternoon develop ments were discouraging. large estimates for tomorrows receipts leading to selling. December and January shorts were rest less, however, and covered on all the easier periods. The close was quiet, with prices 4 points lower to points higher.
