HAVEN & sToUT's COTTON LETTER.


New York, Dec. 1.-Manipulative inu-
ences have been very apparent in the
movement of cotton quotations this week.
The cliques both in this country and at
Liverpool would seem to have acted on
the theory that the recent Improvement
had discounted the bullish elements in
the situation for the present and that
there was a scattered bull interest out
standing sufficiently large to render bear
ish attacks on values a success. The
Liverpool quotations have consequently
been manipulated in the interest Of these
operators and the market has been char
acterized by a good deal Of liquidation on
the part of the longs. At the declines
however. the covering was on a large
scale, and it does not see that the peo
pie who are active in anipulating the
markets were DESTROYS of pushing their
advantages to extremes There has been
little fresh news calculated to influence
the market, the principal bearish argu-
ment being founded on the continuance
of a heavier interior movement and the
failure of the November figures to show
the falling eff which was confidently eX-
pected at the beginning of the month.
Some attention was also paid to reports
that higher prices for raw cotton were
influencing spinners and deterring pur-
chases. Spots, however, hold firm, and
it must be admitted that manufacturers
having largely supplied current require
ments are naturally inclined to wait. The
best feature speculatively is the ease
with which prices rally from the success
sive declines.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec. There was a
comparatively narrow market for
stocks today and the tone was not well
defined at any time. Large and con-
fident buying of a few railroad stocks
was in evidence. but this was partly
offset by the sharp weakness OF a
number Of lndustrials and Specialties
and the whole market turned down
ward with the appearance Of the bank
statement and with the additional in
fiuences OF three point break in SUI
gar The notable demand for railroad
stocks locked to shares of companies
operating in the Southern region

current of a projected new refinery

on the stock and helped to break the

conda also weakened early in the trad
ing, American Tobacco showed
strong recovery from recent depres-
sion, and the Coalers had a raise on the
cold weather. The bank statement
was a surprise The heavy loan eXpan-
sion is supposed to be due largely to
preparations for interest requirements
for December first, but the usual De-
cember preparations for January 1st
are expected to become effective soon,
and the revival of the interior demand
for currency towards the last week
suggests caution in the borrowing of
money for speculation. The gain in
cash of 81 ,S42,3 800 was unexpected and
served as a welcome Offset to the in
crease of requirements of $3,254,900,
growing out of the large addition of
$11, 900 to deposits.
The inroad of $1,412,60 upon the
surplus would otherwise have been
much larger. The continued large
demand for bonds at an advancing
price was noticeable feature of the
trading. The bond market has been
less unsettled this week than stocks.
Business has been increased and
prices have advanced. Junior or re-

COTTON.
New York, Dec. 1.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet and easy with prices
two to five points lower, the decline
being more a systematic move with
Liverpool than the result of inherent
weakness The English cables were
disappointing inasmuch as they indi-
Gated a net loss of from one to two
points, whereas the slight gain had
been expected in response to last
hour Developments here last night.
The usual private cables explained
the heaYiness abroad as due to the ire
mendous amount brought into sight
for the week figures. These were 49,
900 bales as compared with $4,000
bales last week, 363, 900 bales last year.
100000 in 1898 and 505,000 in 1897 as,
made up by Hester. The Chronicle
named 100000 bales. The local bulls
were optimistic as concerns the course
of prices in the near future owing to
smaller receipts, present and prospec-
tive, and glowing accounts from
Southern spot market The latter
from all outward signs were yet in the
infancy of their strength with buyers
daily growing more alarmed by the
scarcity of offerings. Following the
call the market rallied on room sup
port and abatement in the profit taxi
ing sales of commission interests.
Europe was light buyer of the March
and May contracts. The market for
futures closed quiet with prices net
unchanged to six points lower.

mining camps. This week four pros
pectors fitted up here and went into
one of the camps spoken OF in one Of
Msjor Dsvis's recent letters. Some
body remarked that the work of the
cham Der of commerce If it took this
turn would result in decreasing the po-
pulation of Ell Paso. But every time
we help to build up an outlying mining
camp we create new markets for our
merchants and increase the Importance
OF the southwestern metropolis.
This plan would be the best for the
niue owners. 1t might deceive q very
few to put samples on view that were
not real specimens of the value of the
mine. But experienced mining men
would not be deceived. They would
know that if any particular mine was
played as true sample, there would
be no need for capital to develop il,
and the owner would not be looking
for buyers. A burrO or two and the
owners fortune would be made. Ore
from pockets or from the center of the
vein is apt to deceive, and to begin
with deceit is the worst possible way
to negotiate mining deal.
There is Q whole lot to be done In the
way of personal work among the mining
camps, and it is to be hoped that some
plan will be devised that will give the
c hamber sufficient resources to keep .
competent man In the field all the tiUe.
