COTTON LETTERS

New York, Dec. 31.-Murphy & Co. say:
Our market ruled very firm to-day, in
view of the fact that Liverpool was closed
and receipts were rather liberal The To-
cal bulls, both in New Orleans and New
York, were the main support, absorbing
offerings on realizing sale, particularly
for Southern account. There was really
no new features in to-day's market, stock
or certificate stock in New York has in
creased some during the past two weeks
and now amounts to about 5000 bales.
Our market will be closed tomorrow On
account of New Year. Estimated port
receipts, $1,000 bales, against 1900 last
year. New Orleans expects tomorrow
1000 to 5000 bales5 against $3.50 last year;
Houston, 10, 500 to II 500 bales, against 1881
last year.
New York, Dec. 31.-Hubbard Bros. Il
Co. say: Our market advanced during
the morning on buying for Western and
Wall street account on the promise of
an early settlement of the Chinese ques-
ton. On the advance the Southwest were
free sellers, supplying the buyers. Fur
Their realizing by the local buyers caused
a reaction Receipts for the semi-week-
ly promise to be 60, 900, against $1,000 last
week. The disposition is to await devel-
opments in Manchester next week, and
the trade are generally without interest
over the new year. For January delivery
cotton is pointing here in small quanti-
ties, and the premium on that position
offers fine opportunity to deliver and
replace with contracts at from one to
three dollars a bale discount, without
calculating the expense of carrying the
cotton in warehouse.

NAVAL STORES.

Monday, Dec. 81.
SPIRITS TURPENTINE-Th turpen-
tine market closed firm to-day at S5c,
with sales at the opening call of 1874
casks. Whether the market has struck
bottom in its descent, or is to go still
lower, is a matter of doubt among the
trade. BY it's steady dropping tendency
for the past few weeks the market has
dropped to a point which emphasizes to
factors the necessity for some united
action in an effort to arrest the downward
course, If it continues downhill at its
present pace. over 10000 casks in stock,
against $4,000 last year, makes the Stats
teal position so overwhelmingly in favor
of buyers as to convince factors that the
trade may have to get closer together if
recessions are to be successfully arrested.
But there are many who think the bottom
has been struck, though the reason is not
explained. There were unconfirmed re-
ports that stuff was sold on Saturday
above 95c The inquiry was light today,
however, and the closing did not show
very wholesome trading in progress. The
days receipts were 67S, and the exports
2,716.
ROSINS-Pales dropped off again to-
day. the declines of a day or so since
being repeated. Grade N declined 15c, w.
G. 25c, and w w. Zoe, making declines of
SOC on N, and soc each on w. G. and w.
w. within the past week Other grades
closed firm and unchanged Limited in
quiry was made for resins, and the day
closed featureless. The receipts were

per cent further very favorable In
fiuence in the market was the showing
made by the banks in their weekly state
ment on Saturday, which was assumed
to indicate that there was little further
danger of anything approaching none
tary stringency. There was otherwise
virtually nothing of a financial nature in
the news from Saturday.
As regarded the general market or
particularly stocks, interest centered large
ly in the railroads in which some partc-
ulariy rapid advances were scored. North
ern Pacific was a conspicuous feature IN
an advance extending to two points IN
both the common and preferred shares
Union Pacific was likewise notably strong
and active. The dealings in the Grang
ers were unusually animated ST. Paul
was again notably strong and active,
while Burlington, after opening higher,
reacted sharply Pennsylvania was a
conspicuous feature of the higher priced
stocks in notably sharp advance. Other
stocks in which the advances attained
noteworthy proportions were the Atchi-
sons, Louisville and Nashville, Baltimore
and Ohio and Delaware and Hudson.
Among the lower stocks, Southern COM
mon and Texas Pacific were decidedly
firm Sugar was the active feature Of
the day. After opening decidedly higher,
the stock showed a somewhat reactionary
tendency Southern Pacific was the only
feature of the railroad list in which pres
sure was noted. The Industrial quarter,
aside from Sugar, was comparatively neg
lected, and the dealings in the local trac-
ton shares were also oVershadowed by
the railroad list,

same was true of other stocks in the
railroad list, but the general movement
otherwise was to a large extent in sym
pathy with the movement in THIS group.
This specialized strength also served as
a sustaining force for a very large
amount of proft-taking. as has Constant
ly been the case recently.
After the manner in which London 5
weakness was ignored on Saturday, the
apprehensions of trouble there to-day
were not looked to for much effect here.
But the Unexpectedly favorable aspect of
affairs there did noe serve as a flip to
the market and London buying here was a
factor of strength, although there were
sufficient selling for that account in 9TH
er stocks to leave the buying on balance
only small.
The strength of the sterling exchange
market in face of London buying here
was very significant. Commercial blils
of exchange against both cotton and grain
are reported rather scarce and it is prob
able there is some demand for exchange
for remittance OF annual obligations to
London. But the special demand for
sterling is probably to be explained by
the lending of New York money in Lon
don. The eXigencies of the London mar
ket and the abundance of funds in New
York. in spite of all the extraordinary de-
mand, point to such a process being in
progress.
The year closed with per cent. call
lean rate only momentarily maintained, II
ran off afterwards to per cent. ana
lower This was partly due to the fact
that many loans last Friday were made
to carry over until Wednesday.
There was some diminuton in the buy
ing of bonds and prices declined in some
portions of the list, while advancing at
others. Total sales par value, &,S5OOO.

New York, Dec. 31.-The year closed on
the Stock Exchange with the buying
power of the market well maintained, as
is evident from the volume of the days
business and from survey of the net
changes for the day. In a number of i'm.
portant stocks these are impressive.
The full strength of the market was not
maintained to the close and prices show
ed a tendency to slip back during the lat
ter part of the day, in spite of the sus-
tanning force of the extraordinary
strength in a few stocks, but the closing
day of the end of the year and OF the
century was nevertheless signalized by
the highest prices for the year or for all
past time in not a few stocks. The most
conspicuous of these was Pennsylvania,
which opened with an upward rush un.

bear circles. slow fire of covering was
in progress all day, and sufflced to keep
prices well above the level of Saturday
noon. The Liverpool market remained
closed, and this fact tended to make both
factions cautions. However, news that
the China political situation had cleared
up remarkably within the last twenty
four hours, together with reports that
New England mills had had a most pros
porous year in 1909, effectually checked
selling for short account, and prompted
holders to stand off for further develop
ments. The near months were relatively
the firmest on the list from opening to
closing. The market was finally steady
with prices net, to 10 points higher.
