Market Letters.

New York, December 29.-Cotton
closed in Liverpool today 1-32d higher
for spots; middling 5k. Futures
were unchanged on near and a shade
lower on far months. Manchester ad-
vices We're rather less favorable, ac-
cording to The Chronicle. The Bombay
cotton movement during January is
likely to be much larger han a yeal
ago. n the same may be said about
the movement south. There was no
special feature to the trading here to-
day. After stopping notices yesterday.
the bulls offered short December cotton,
down today from 1Oc to 9.65 on nearly
the same price as January.
StockS-After a weak opening in the
stock market this morning, with de-
clines extending from rs to ~ per cent.
in sympathy with the depressed market
at London, the local stock market de-
veloped strength and a number Of SEN
sational advances We're scored during
the first hour. The most pronounced
decline at the opening was in Sugar,
but all of the loss was speedily recOv
cred. Heavy buying orders in New
York Central, st. Paul. Pennsylvania
m Southern Pacific We're productive
of quick and substantial gains in
prices.
1t was generally expected that the
market would be sympathetically af-
fected by the weakness at London. The
market for Americans at that city
closed from y to IA per cent. below
parity. but the cable dispatches en-
phasized the fact that the failures in
that market were chiefly in the min
ing division.
The London and Globe Finance Cor
poration, whose checks were returned
yesterday, is n of the trust COM
panies foated in the early activity OF
the mining market to- advance many
mining shares which the joint stock
bankers did not accept aus collateral,
except in special cases.
Before the bank statement was re-
ceived, St. Paul, Pennsylvania, Union
Pacific common. New York Central and
Sugar a scored advances of from ]
to 4 points. The non-dividend paying
stocks were comparatively neglected.
London was a seller, but arbitrage
transactions Were hampered by trou.
BILE experienced with the cable ser.
vice.
The bank statement was as favorable
as expected n in line with prelimi-
nary estimates. Following the bank
statement the market gave a further
exhibition Of ~buoyancy n strength.
