COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Dec 28.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady 8 to points lower
and after the call went off a point or
so more under pressure of long cotton
and under bear selling. This additional
break, following as it did yesterdays
sharp decline was quite in. keeping
with the cable news and port move
ment. Liverpool went off to S1k points
on futures and Lied on spot cotton, or
more than twice as far as expected.
AS for receipts the ports piled up
something like $4,000 bales or nearly
double the arrivals for the same day
last year. The first wave of selling
carried January off to S02c, March to
S.14c and May to S.20c. Slight reactions
occurred later on flurries of profit
taking by pit shorts, but the under
tone of the market was still feverish
with investors nervous sellers of late
months. Europe and the South sold
here along conservative lines while
Wall street withdrew from the market
Trading was fairly active all the short
session, though much of the time pro-
fessional. The market closed steady
points lower to points higher hav-
ing stiffened up near the close on ac-
tive Southern buying.

New Orleans, Dec. 2S.-Liverpool adj
vices were very disappointing and our
market in sympathy opened to 3
points, lower, but later improved to
s notwithstanding the heavy receipts,
easing off subsequently closed un-
changed to 1 point higher. Port re-
ceipts to-day were 10000 in excess of
last Saturday and $4,000 over the same
day last year. The four principal in
terror towns received $4,000 to-day,
against 1900 last year, consequently
it will be seen that the movement, both
ait the port and interior towns is
heavy. However those who are in IA
vor of the article are ignoring these
facts temporarily in anticipation OF
a marked falling off in receipts next
week, as it is thought the inclemency
of the weather may be instrumental In
retarding same. Bombay receipts of the
week were 71,0O0 against $1,000 last
year, aggregating $4,000 from Sept
L to date, against $4,000 last year, an
increase of $4,000. The Egyptian re-
ceipts during the week were 275,OOO
cantars, against 125,OO0 last year, and
the total received from Sept. 1 to date
has been 1852 900, against 3026,OO0 last
year, an excess of 1000 for the mo-
ment important statistics are not con-
sidered, but the above figures confirm
the claims made by European cores

Amalgamated had a favorable effect
on traders sentiment. Another help
ing influence was the expectation of
easier monetary conditions after the
turn of the year and confidence in the
money outlook was increased by the
character of the bank statement. The
gain in cash holdings exceed all pre-
vious estimates and was regarded as
indicating that the return tide of
money from the interior had set in
with some force. Profit-taking on the
appearance of the bank statement
caused some reactions, but there was
no impairment of the confident tone of
speculation. The strong features in

TO be based not only on good trade re-
ports, but on the theory that develop
ments in connection with the voting

ing over l per cent. Hooking Valley

under proft-taking. Union Pacific suf-
fered early from some selling pressure
caused by the reticence on some points
of the annual report, but it rallied in
late dealings. In the industrials,

Sugar further advanced over per

New York, Dec 2S.-Our market
opened with sales Of May at S21, and
after selling at S.25c, ruled at S21c at
II a. m. To-day's market is another
illustration of the strength of the SEN
timent that higher prices will rule after
the new year. Receipts at the ports
were estimated at 10000 bales more
than last season. The interior towns
also showed up heavy, and estimates
of an insight movement of from 100000
bales were current. Liverpool was 3
points lower on movement, and yet our
market turned from the low point, clos
ing firm at about last nights prices.
About 10000 bales were wanted at S.20c
for May, and when it was found there
were not any sellers at that price, the
local traders advanced the market on
what appeared to be Wall street buy
ing to the close. New Orleans estimate
is the same as last week, and less than
last season when it compared with the
last day of the year. From a cotton
standpoint, the movement promises to
be very heavy for the next two or
three weeks. The speculative sentiment
is more bullish than for years. The
spot market was quiet and unchanged.

New York, Dec. 2S-The Chronicle
syas that in the Helena, Ark, section
little cotton is yet to jbe picked. Bad
weather and bad roads have retarded
receipts at Meridian, Miss, and great
scarcity of railroad cars. The totaf
visible supply is 4,110,S52 against 4. OIL
ZS5 last year and 4,S40,912 the year be-
lore. The Chronicle figures of the
insight movement to-day is 6,33S,S49
against 6,45S,4s4 last year.~The weeks
movement is 100000, against 429. 900
The movement the coming week il
hardly likely to prove advantageous to
the bull side, for we shall be compar-
ing with an insight movement of under
2o0,OOO last year, and this in itself is
such an important fact that nothing
can prevent lower market, except a
sudden shrinkage in the movement
which is not probable or the
appearance of buyers in large
numbers. Cables were g points
lower to-day. 1t is understood that
the receipts are keeping up in such
scarcity as to cause much uneasiness
in quarters, where they have well
loaded up on the bureau figures since
the first week in December. If the
present movement is maintained for
any length of time, we must witness a
change in sentiment and a change in
price to a lower basis regardless of
what may occur later on to affect the
present big receipts. There is no use
in Disgusting the fact that receipts
are entirely too large to advance the
market at present and unless they soon
go off naturally we must witness a low
er market. Prices eased off at our open
ing to points, but there was much
less selling pressure than expected, I'M
important changes occurred up to the
close. The volume of business on the
whole was small.

was S6Ac bid, Buyers found, how
ever that they could not obtain any

not apparently anxious to sell at this
figure The market had a firm under
tone. probably due to the general be-
lief that receipts are not to increase
any. and this in the face of heavy ex
ports for the past few days may ex-
ert a marked strengthening in the sit
nation. Resins closed steady and un-

with the demand moderate, but some
what improved towards the closing.
IN the spot cotton market a fair de-

ference between buyers and factors.
The market was officially posted at
the closing as firm at 36Ac bid, where
as nothing was to be had apparently
for less than 36%c. The outlook is not
such as to warrant factors in letting
go with freedom, as from their stand
point the market promises to seek a
higher level shortly on a shrinkage In

for In many quarters. No official sales

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Heavy offerings Absorbed by
Well Distributed Demand.

New York, Dec. 2S.-To-day's broad
and active market resulted in small
changes in prices of stocks owing to
the very large amount of profit taking
sales which were made. The market
was an excellent one for realizing
profits, -whieh-are Sf tempting pro-
portions as a result of the consider
able rise in prices the last few days.
There was a vigorous and well-dis
tributed demand which absorbed the
offerings without serious in-roads
upon prices. The continued recovery
in Sugar, in which the dealings were
again large, sustained the market. The
Unexpectedly strong bank statement
made the closing strong, after the re-
aliZing had commenced to make some
impression upon prices. Amalgamated
Copper failed to hold its gain and
closed only higher after having been
at one time 1ss higher. Sugar saved
a net gain of 2A from an extreme adj
vance of Sh. an the railroad list,
Reading was the feature, on a con-
tinuance of the recent buying attrib-
uted to banking interests. The stock
closed 1Bc higher. Baltimore and
Ohio and Missouri Pacific were notably
strong.
Generally the realizing in railroad
stocks kept the gains within moderate
limits. The compilation of returns of
earnings for 81 railroads for the third
week in this month shows a decrease
of 3.46 per cent, compared with last
year. This is the first time a decrease
has been shown for the corresponding
period since 1896. Other roads report
ing to-day showed a similar tendency,
including the soft coal carriers. Hook
ing Valley suffered from realizing in
consequence.
The large gain in cash by the banks
is attributed to returns from the local
channels of the holiday trade. The
nominal increase in loans was con-
sidered favorable in view of the activ-
ity in the stock market.

SPOT cotton closed steady to-day,
with sales of 420 by factors. Receipts

persistent talk of heavier movement
