Murphy e co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, December 14-Advices from Liverpool early in the day covered only up to the close yesterday, when prices were up shade. So long as we keep without regular Liverpool cables we must continue dull. Bulls fear to buy and bears hesitate to sell without co-opera- tion with Liverpool. Bulllsh sentiment continues unabated, but without result on the market. Some hesitation is shown because of the fact that the coming weeks movement will compare with very small figures of last year, when the in- sight was only 3s7, 900. on the other hand. bulls of the rampant kind prefer to com pare with the same week in 1898. which was 100000. As we neared our opening Liverpool reported to decline, and New York responded with to 6 decline. most of which was quickly recovered and the total sales were small.
 Receipts at all ports were 4S00O, against 4s GOO last year. The Chronicle weather report of the week says that the weather has been fairly favorable rain has been quite general except in portions of the Southwest and Mississippi, where the rainfall has been light.
 Reports from many points denote that picking is finished or about completed, and marketing is said to be fairly liberal. The total visible supply Is now 8,s20,000. against 3,7e4,OO0 last year, including s. a38. 900 American, against 3,233,000 last year. The Chronicle figure for the in- sight to date is 5,576,o00. against 5,724.- 900 last year. What the movement will be from now on is the great question.
