New York. Dec. 30.-Spot business in
dry goods today under holiday influences
and bad weather conditions was poor
and there was barely an average de-
mand. The tone continued firm in all
descriptions of cotton goods with prices
we'll maintained, but there was no fea-
ture calling for special mention.
COTTON.
New York, Dec. 30-The cotton market
opened easy at decline of to points,
and was weak throughout the forenoon
under active selling for both accounts,
led by liquidation of January holdings.
The chief factors of depression were
weak cables and tremendous receipts
the latter overlapping the estimate OF
the bear contingent. Europe and the
South contributed selling orders to the
local market, Commission houses sold
as a matter of precaution before the
holidays Before midday March had
dropped to $40 and May to SIS The es-
Inmates for tomorrow's New Orleans and
Houston receipts were formidable bear
ish influences, considering the fact that
the wet weather South had made roads
well nigh impossible. AT the lowest
prices prominent local houses bought
heavily, said to be for the purpose OF
covering shorts put out we'll below sc.
There was little or no change for the
better in the afternoon, the market con-
tinuing in an unsatisfactory state, and
liquidation by insiders and outsiders
showing little respite. An easier feeling
in Southern spot markets with light
New Orleans selling orders through room
brokers here served to depress the
market in the last hour. Speculation was
not so active, and for the most part
comprised pre-holiday evening opera
tions. Prices were down to the bottom
figures of the day, and sentiment favored
still furtner declines in the belief that
Liverpool will be lower and port re-
ceipts will again be larger than last
year. The close was barely steady and
net to IL points lowers

H. AND B. BEERS COTTON LETTER.
Nv Orleans, La, Dec. 30.--The large
receipts influenced Liverpool unfavorably
and our market responded by opening 4
to 5 points lower declined 5 to 6 addi-
tional points, subsequently on the heavy
New Orleans and Houston estimates for
tomorrow and the weakness of spots,
becoming slightly steadier near the close,
making the net loss g to 10 points on the
day. The port receipts for the three
days are 5000 in excess of last week,
10000 over last year and show an in
crease of 7S4, 900 as compared to year be-
fore last. The four principal interior
towns during the same time have re-
ceived $4,000, as compared to $4,000 last
year, or an increase of 10000. From the
above it will be seen that both the port
and interior receipts are larger and on
such scale as to make operators some
what shaky on the short crop views. 1t
is however, contended that the recent
cold weather will occasion a sharp fall
ing off in the movement before the end
of the week Manchester cables say that
while the tone was more cheerful the
transactions were rather below the aver
age. There was a fair India inquiry
with offers just below the acceptance
point. Manufacturers are not pressing
sellers owing chiefly to increasing en-
gagement. The China and South Asian
markets progress little and South Ameri-
can purchases were minor. We again
urge our friends to realize profits on
their long cotton. as the continuance OF
free receipts will have a tendency to
depress values further OF course if, in
the meanwhile the expected perpendicu-
lar drop in the movement materializes
the market will be sustained.

Birthday Party.

Wednesday, March 25, being
the date of the birthday of Mrs.
Eflie Wink of Sipes Mills, num-
Der of her relatives and friends
assembled at her home to do hon
or to the occasion.
She was not expecting com
pany; but her hospitality is so
well known, that it goes without
saying that the first shock of her
surprise being over,a hearty well
come was extended to one and all.
At the noon hour the contents
of the various boxes and baskets
which had been brought by the
company, were spread upon the
table, and the meal thus formed
would have satisfied the demands
of any epicure.
The day was spent very pleas
antly, the music being the chief
feature of amusement.
Mrs. Wink was the recipient of
a number of handsome and useful
gifts.
Latein the afternoon the guest
returned to their homes, sorry
that such days do not come often
er, and are not longer when they
do come. For this days enjoy
ment those present are indebted
to Mrs. Wink's son and daughter
who extended the invitations.
