the action of the Bank of England in adj
vancing the rate of discount had the er
feet of checking speculative buying, and
spinners were not willing to pay full
prices in face of discounts. That market
closed easy. sending many selling orders
here after the close abroad. Locally the
temper continues to be bullish, with the
trade at the opening buying freely. AS no
new demand appeared the buyers of the
morning turned, sellers finding only a
small market without any short interest
and the market slowly eased until quo
tations were some ten points below the
best The action of Liverpool is great
surprise, as the receipts to-day were
thought to be light enough to sustain
prices. if not to induce spinners to buy
freely. Cotton continues to drift here in
small quantities for delivery on January,
which still maintains its premium over
March.

The spirits turpentine market received
a rough weather impetus to-day. closing
at an advance of'two cents above yester-
davis price. Following the fears that the
price was to decline below its recent low
noint the contrary has come true, with
blvers bidding 3619c for supplies, but
without being able to satisfy their de-
mands All available stuff was quickly
wiped up, which helped to impart addi-
tional strength to the market The
main influence in giving the price an up
turn is the inclement weather which pre-
walls quite generally over the naval
stores country, and will have the effct
of interrupting the movement, thereby
lessening receipts. Acting on this belief
buyers entered the market early in the
day, and all the offerings were cleaned up
with avidity. Resins closed firm and I'M

The spot cotton market closed quiet and
steady at an advance of 1sc on all grades,
and with sales on the spot of 1,722 bales.
Reports from the interior were to the
effect that holders still look for higher
prices, and are, therefore, declining to
sell in anticipation of an Improvement.
The futures market closed quiet, with
prices to 10 points lower.
The New York stock market broke. The
losses were heavy throughout the list.
scarcely a stock getting through the
storm of liquidation which followed the
scare without sustaining a loss. The
declines were from one point to seven.
The raising of the Bank of England rate
from to per cent. was a disturbing
factor. The liquidation seems to have
been precipitated by the fears of longs
that values were too high, and once the
fight started the scare rapidly spread.
Call money rates in New York ruled easy
