 NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 1.-The action of Liverpool today clearly indicated a growing disposition amongst foreign traders to buy on any favorable opportunity as each concession in prices since the advance occasioned by the bureau has been met by a substantial demand for both spots and deliveries and steady tone is in evidence notwithstanding the lib- eral acceptance of profits on speculative trans actions which quito confirms recent reports regarding an extensive short interest in ex- istence abroad. It became manifest after the early trading on this side that the desire to cover long contracts had been satisfied. There were no special developments in con necton with the course of receipts, but op orators who had accepted profits at the re- cent extreme advance evinced an eagerness to replace their purchases and under the in- iuence of this demand prices scored steady advance. Closing quotations are about 5 points higher than yesterday.
 The developments of today have manifested plainly to what extent sentiment has changed in favor of the market. The regulsr trade Is inclined to contribute steadier demand for actual cotton and interior offerings nave greatly moderated. The movement Is thus looked upon to regulate the course of prices.
 Receipts up to the present time are undoubt- edly disappointing to large crop advocates and if there is no appreciable Increase over the prevailing ratio in the near future the effect the value of the staple will probably be

Forum.
 At Ostende the admission fee is 20f., which operates to exclude nearly all per- sons excepting those who wish to play, whereas at Monte Carlo the gambling rooms are generally overrun with curious spectators.
 Nevertheless, at the height of the sea- son the gorgeous and spacious salons of the Ostende Club are generally crowded with men and women, in about equal proportions, and the regulation evening dress of the men and the toilettes and jewels of the women make the scene about the tables as dazzling as it is demoralizing. Roulette and trente ct quarante are the favorite games, the foTmer generally for low and the latter for high stakes. The minimum stake is 5f. and the maximum is 12,O00f. The maximum limit Is frequently played by the more experienced and reckless gam blers, and the total winnings and losings of a day or a night are undoubtedly of enormous proportions. Just what these proportions are Is known only to the inside management. That they are uni formly large can be readily inferred from the fact that it is no uncommon thing to see a single player win or lose 25O,0O0 at single sitting. With hundreds of players at the tables, playing day and night, with chips representing all the way from 5f. to 1,OO0f.. it is not difficult to reach the conclusion that upward of 1 100000 are daily lost and won at these tables-and they are generally lost by the players. No doubt the game is fair and square enough. as such games go. It is not necessary for the proprietors of gambling establishments at Ostende or elsewhere to take any unfair advantage of their patrons in order to win their money. Their main reliance is on the reckl"aaness and foolhardiness of the average gambler. who never knows how to stop playing until he has lost his last sou.

 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. ll.-Ear'y Liverpool market to open 2Q3 points higher. but the subsequent easiness there combined with large New Orleans and Houston estimates and the liberal semi weekly interior movement occa- stoned decline of points later. This, how ever. only temporary for large buying or ders. meeting with an absence of sellers, soon ing the net gain I points tho day. The semi weekly interior receipts were larger than expected. being I32 900, against 40 900 last year. and the stock increased 27. 900 bales this year against an increase of 5000 last year. Port receipts for the day were some what under the original estimate and prob ably accentuated the desire to buy notwith- standing the fact that spots did not respond to the firmness existing in deliveries, As sentiment continues extremely buish thC chances values may be maintained unless checked by decided increase In receipts.

MARKET FOR FUTURES BULL LEADERS SLOW TO SUP 1 PORT PRICES. In the Last Hour Values Climbed Upward on Persistent Buying.
 Gain of II to IA Points
 at the Close.

NEW YORK. Dec 1.-The cotton market opened steady with prices unchanged 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 their sup port. while the greater portion of the floor contingent sold the theory that sharp further decline in. prices was due. Selling for longs and shorts for the rest of the first hour sent prices off sharply and before 30 o'clock January had dropped to s. 03 and May to g. oS. Large port receipts and scarcity of invest ment orders added to the confidence of ring btars. Just before midday buying for a single account turned the course of the market and started shorts in full retreat For the rest of the session buying more or less active for beth accounts with early sellers i'll at ease. Predictions for bullish set of cables trom Liverpool tomorrow with reports that southern spot markets were stiffening on urg- ent demand added to the alarm of the bear element. There was slight pause in the ad- vance, but in the last hour the market climbed still higher on persistent buying for both ac- counts. Europe and the South picked up lh- eral amounts of late months and spinners bought January and March. The close WAS firm with prices net i9l4 points higher.
