Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, December 15.-Liverpool failed to follow the advance here yesterday and the gain abroad amounted to but or points. In view of an advance of about 20 points in January yesterday afternoon better market was expected At the open ing the market ruled firm for some time, losing a few points, but later recovered. Business was comparatively light, with professionals and shorts buying all the cotton offered. There was no disposition on the part of the short interest to sell owing to the absence of a stock of cotton here and the premium on near position. A few buying orders in January sustained the whole market and later caused further advance in the general list. January sold up to 9.70, the high point of the day. May advanced to 9.25 and March to 9.36. While there was an absence of outside business the tone was firm at the advance, with the shorts covering Receipts continue liberal.
