LOCAL COTTON MARKET.
Holiday Season Brings Large Receipts.
 Higher Prices Expected.

Nine cents was the ruling price for good middling cotton in Birmingham yesterday, but the market closed at 1-16c spot cash. Some merchants paid in trade as high as 9Ac, but 9sc was the ruling merchandise price in the late afternoon.
 Liverpool seems to accept the Washington bureau estimate as of the 1st of November 10 100000 bales-as being about right. And that estimate is pretty generally accepted in this country. A few bulls are still figur- ing for a nine and three-quarter millions crop, but other bulls who think that a crop of 1O1O0,OOO is near the marw express the opinion that as nothing short of Il, ,000 900 bales would cloth the world the price will go oyer 1Oc before spring. In the meanwhile the price will probably play around Sc in the Birmingham market.
 Alabama cotton growers, looking as they do for higher range of prices, nat urally disposed to be slow in marketing their crop, but owing to the approach of Christmastide the receipts this week are large.

FURIOUS ACTIVITY
 IN STOCK MARKET No AppreciabIe Let Up in the
 Varied lTrading WAS REACTIONARY AT TIMES Came Under the Influence of Some Rather Violent Breaks in Special j. Stocks-Prices Stffened on
 Speculative Enthusiasm
WAS REACTIONARY AT TIMES

New York, December 19.-There was no appreciable let-up in the furious activity in the stock market today or in the ex- ceedngly broad and varied trading. A quick market was offered for almost any volume of stocks and very notable strength continued at various points in the list, but the burden of the profit taking sales proved rather heavier than for some time past and made more general inroads upon prices. The market fairly turned reactionary throughout at one time, under the influence of some rather violent breaks in special stocks. Tin plate was the most effective of these when 1t suddenly slumped SA af- ter a show of early strength.
 A drop of IA points in New York Ar Brake was impressive in its way, but had little effect on the market. The reaction ary tendency of the Junior Vanderbilts developed that speculators had been talk ing rather too a sanguine a view of possi- ble establishments of securities of these companies. Cleveland, Cincinnati Chicago and St. Louis and the New York Chicago and St. Louis stocks fell back heavily al- though some went up briskly in the morn- ing.
 An effort was made to reclaim the bull position in the final hour by sudden ad- vances in Northern Pacific, Sugar, Illinois Central, General Electric, the Chicago Terminal Transfer stocks and the Wiscon- sin Central stocks. The advances in these above the low point ran from to 61A points. Prices did stiffen in sympathy, but the speculative enthusiasm was not fully re- newed and the market closed very fever ish and unsettled with a point or more lost of some of these sudden gains.

Financial

New York, Dec. 19.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 The market here was active today, con- sidering the approach of the holidays. There was some irregularity, owing to the appre- hensions about the money situation Ameri- cans were very brisk. The chief attention was devoted to specialtles-Eries, Southern Pacifics and Southerns being prominent. The others were sympathetically hardened, but the buying was still mainly professional. At the close they eased, except in the case of the chief fayorites. Conservative experts deprecate excessive pushing of low priced shares, fearing the ultimate effect on the market. Money was steady. The bank did a considerable discount business. Paris and Berlin exchanges were slightly more favor able.

Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Dec. 19.-A peter Liverpool. spots being advanced 1-16d with sales of 700O bales and contracts 2a-64ths up, gave a rise of some or points at the opening. Under influence of continued liberal move ment and dull demand, the advance was lost, and we close at about point below last evening" The semi-weelly movement shows receipts of 125,124; shipments, 9S,7SS a gain of 263S6 in stock as against a gain of 2S, 3G5 and 6445 last week and last year, respectively. This was regarded as very large, and added somewhat as a repressing influence. A dull demand for export con tinues. The days business has perhaps been the smallest for month, and until some new feature arises it looks as though speculation will remain rather quiet, at least until after the holidays, The crop move ment Is watched with unusual interest and for the moment seems to be the principal factor in determining the small fluctuations that rule during the day. A dull market usually results in some decline. We see no reason to alter the opinion previously ex- pressed that the market is a purchase on weak or easy periods only at a moderate decline.
