Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter

New York, December 1.-The stock market today suffered from scattered liquidation, which was stimulated by the slightly increased pressure in the money market Call money rates reached the maxium of the season and standing loans were marked up to a considerable amount in the aggregate. The amount of gold announced as engaged for ex- port tomorrow fell below some of the previous estimates. The large absorption by the sub-treasury from the banks, however, were generally accepted as foreshadowing an unfavorable bank statement. The influence of the copper situation was hardly felt largely be- cause considerable support was given to copper. There was not special news but railroad earnings continued the principal feature, notwithstanding the handsome gain in earning the stocks declined over ? per cent New York Central opened at a smart advance over last nights close. but later receded two points. Rock Is- land also lost per cent, Great Northern preferred and Baltimore and Ohio were 2 per cent lower.
 Coalers showed considerable strength. Missouri Pacific and other Southwestern issues revived considerable support.
 Norfolk lost over ? per cent on rumors that the Pocahontas coal deal had been called off. The industrial group was without special feature. Copper sold up 2% per cent and enjoyed frequent rallies on its subsequent reactionary course, closing with a fractional net gain.
 In local fractions Manhattan receded 2 per cent, B. R. T. per cent. M. R. was well sustained and closed rather heavy. Railroad bonds suffered some late re- actions. Total sales, stocks, 6S4,O0O shares,

COTTON MARKET
 IS UP A POINTS Cable News Much Better Than

 Predictions for Bulllsh
 News Today.
 

New York December 1.-The cotton market opened steady, with prices un- changed to points higher, and for brief period responded readily to buying from abroad, and Wall street as well as the cable news, which averaged much better than expected. Bull leaders, how ever were slow to give the market thelr support while the greater portion of the floor contingent sold On the theory that a sharp further decline in prices was due. Selling for longs and shorts for the rest of the first hour sent prices orr sharply, and before 11:30 o'clock January had dropped to sos and May to sos.
 Large port receipts and scasclty of in- vestment orders added to the confidence of ring bears Just before midday ouy- ing for a. single account turned the course of the market and started shorts In full retreat For the rest of the session buying was moro or less active for both accounts with early sellers i'll at ease. Predictions for a bullish set of cables from Liver pool tomorrow, with reports that south ern spot markets were stinening on ur- gent demand, added to the alarm Of the bear element There was slight pause in the advance, but in the last hour the market climbed still higher on persis- tent buying for both accounts. Europe and the south sent liberal amounts Of late months, and spinners bought January and March.
 The close was firm, with prices net Il to IA points higher.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, December 1.-The spot cotton market during the day ruled steady, but trading was somewhat re- stricted by cloudy weather. Exporters report a better demand and Southern mills are also reported to be in the local market. Private telegrams from the interior report that offerings were scarce and holders were asking higher prices than are being paid in the local market. Sales, 5000 bales, including 3250 to arrive. Quotations unchanged
 Futures fairly active and firm. Liver pool, although lower, was better than expected. Our market accordingly open ed two to three points up, but immediate ly sold off under pressure of realizing. January sold as low as 7.90 and March went down to 791. Prices held fairly steady until Secretary Hester's semi weekly statement was issued when the market became firmer as the statistics were bullishly construed by the general trade. The market gradually worked up and at the close January showed net gain of thirteen points and all other po- stions fourteen to fifteen points above last evenings closing.

development of the day in the way of news was the report from Liverpool that the bears were retreating from their positions.
 Here a well known operator who has estimated the crop at eleven million bales admits that he may be mistaken as his talk with a spinner yesterday has shaken his faith in big crop. This spinner, a buyer of some 5o.OOO bales of cotton a year, reports the staple short and huffy and in his experience this means R. short or moderate crop. This same spinner was an aggressive bear last year at this time, but is now looking for much higher prices should receipts begin to fall off after January first There is likely to be a lively time in the market and for this reason we advise buying cot ton on every decline.
