COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Dec. 20.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet with prices l to 8
points higher, and for time followed
a very narrow rut. So far as the for
eign news was concerned there was
nothing to stimulate either buying or
selling. The movement of the crop
was rather in excess of expectations,
but as an Offset to this unfavorable
factor, was a batch of very bad wealth
er advices from the crop country. Pub
lie and private advices reported very
low temperatures over pretty much all
the belt. Southern spot markets were
firm at well sustained prices with de-
mand brisk. Near midday the shorts
were given bad scare by a report that
the ''in sight" figures would show but
little over 100000, whereas estimates
have indicated 100000. From S.1Sc
March stiffened to S.22e, while May
rose to S.26c before profit-taking set
in, and caused slight reaction. Wall
street and Southern buying orders
helped to advance the market, though
covering was the chief feature. The
local exchange later reported the "in
sight to be 1896, 900 bales as compared
with $4,000 by Hester. All the mar
ket was steady with prices holding
well up to the top on demand from
shorts and light Southern buying.
Commission houses sold from time to
time, chiefly to secure profits and
withdraw from the market over the
holiday period. The close was steady
with prices, net 3 to points higher.

NAVAL STORES.

Friday, Dec. 20.
SPIRITS-The decidedly improved
demand for spirits during the week i'm
parted a buoyant tone to the market,
and carried prices upward. This de-
mand came when the receipts We're
showing a decrease, and too, in the
face of a prolonged holiday. 1t was
natural that buyers with orders in
hand should feel nervous and obtain
all the supplies possible. To-day's mar
ket opened firm at 36ls to S6%c, with
sales of $40, and closed firm at S69sc,
with closing sales of 100.
ROSIN-The rosin market showed an
easier tendency during the week, and
closes to-day at the decline. There was
no demand at all for high grades, lows
being in request mostly. On Thursday
G and below sold off &c on sales of a
round lot To-day's opening was firm
with sales of 5.207, and closed firm ct

REVIEW OF MARKETS
CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.
TURPENTINE AT THE ADVANCE
RISE IN THAT MARKET FEATURE
OF THE WEEKS BUSINESS.

Fair Demand for Cotton, With the
Numerous HOlders-An Increased
Observation-Disclosures Busy Sup
plying the Interior With Holiday
GOOds-LOcaI and TeIegraphic
Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Friday, Dec. 20.
The advance in spirits of turpentine
gas the feature of the markets during
the week. On the strength impaired
by an active demand from numerous
sources the price worked up gradually
from day to day, closing firm at 367sc,
with the demand good and the feeling
favorable for further Improvement
The receipts have fallen off some for
several days past. and this in the face
Of the approaching holidays caused the
advance.
In many quarters it has been pre-
dicted that turpentine will reach ACC
before the new year. These ideas are
based upon the theory that the move
ment will show a gradual decrease from
now until the close of the year, and
that in consequence a good demand
may be expected. While there is no
serious trouble with labor it is lined
that the cauSe of the shrinkage IS the
efforts of operators to curtail the pro-
duction, which it was hoped to accom-
plish by cutting fewer boxes than dur
ing previous seasons.
Resins ruled quiet and steady
throughout the week, with the ten
dency downward. On Thursday
round lot went sc below the official
quotations on G and below and to-day
further sales at concessions were made
The demand all along has been for
lows.
The cotton market was rather fea-
tureless, so far as price fuctua tions
went. Owing to the approach of the
holidays there was some pressure TO
sell in many quarters, which accounts
in measure for the increased move
ment. 1t is claimed that this selling
will uncover much of the cotton in
weak hands and that all held during
the holidays will probably be sold only
at full prices. In the F. o. B. mar
ket the demand was fair, and a sat
isfactory business was done. In the
wholesale branches all houses were
kept busy shipping to the country TO
supply the holiday trade. The fruit
men were particularly busy. The fol-
lowing resume of the markets will
show their tone and quotations at the
closing to-day:

COTTON.

Spot cotton ruled quiet most of the
rast week, with sales of a fair lot
Sales of 3,173 were reported for the
week, and 67,054 so far this season.
The movement was rather free, Savan-
nah getting $4,000 against $1,000 last
year. This was due to the disposition to
sell towards the holidays, and the de-
sire among many to dispose of their
cotton and wind up accounts before the
beginning of the new year. In the f.

New York, Dec. 20-The falling off
in the movement though largely due
to corrections and THE extreme cold
weather, has stimulated buying by
the spinners in Europe. Exporters have
been buyers here, taking the llquida-
ton of the January holders. Sentiment
is greatly in favor of a further i'm
provement after the holidays as spin
ners are expected to continue buying
freely. January and March come a
little nearer to-day, but then tenders
on January will undoubtedly be heavy.
and as yet here is no evidence of any
intention to receive the cotton tender
ed, unless at differences which will pay
the holders charges and interest.
Warmer weather has appeared in the
Northwest and bids fair to extend oven
the cotton belt next week. Liverpool is
expected to advance further to-mol

SEA ISLAND COTTON,

In the sea island cotton market the
past week the demand was less active
than the week before, though fair
business was done. The sales reported
below were not all by Savannah fac
tors, however, some of the amount re-
ported being receipts from the inte-
rior, and also cotton which was held
here and applied by exporters to or
ders received by them. The develop
ments of the past two weeks caused
many holders to dispose of their cot
ton here or in the interior and it Is
said that after the holidays there will
probably not remain with planters
much cotton Offering as anything like
present prices. Close observers express
the opinion that after the holidays a
further demand from spinners pay be
looked for.
The Savannah morning news., 1901-12-21

New York, Dec. 20.-There have been
no changes in prices to-day in any
department. A fair number of in
quiries from exporters are reported
after heavy brown cottons. Heavy de-
mand quiet. Some large buyers are
after bleached cottons at present
prices, but sellers reserved Coarse
colored cottons quiet, but very firm.
Prints and ginghams generally we'll
sold, but current demand quiet. Linens
are in moderate demand and firm. The
market for burlaps is steadier in tone,
but buying is limited.

Murphy & Co.'S cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 20.-Again the early
cotton market failed to develop any
thing of special interest, Prices tend
ed upward one moment and down the
next, but no significance was attached
to the narrow fluctuations of the morn
ing. Receipts at the ports promised to
reach $1,000 bales, against $4,000 last
year. The weather south was still very
cold, the temperature ranging from 90
at Galveston to 10 at Oklahoma, and
this, with the fact that a large sec
ton has had snow, encourages bears
in the belief that the. movement of cot
ton has been seriously interfered with
by the weather. The main thing is that
Liverpool keeps up well, and so long
as this continues, the bull position will
be impregnable A prominent Missis-
sippi concern reduced their estimates
from 10, 10000 to 10000, 600, and this
helped the market temporarily. The in
sight for the week was 3S1 ,569 bales,
against 3S7,257 last week and $50, 900 last
year. the small figures causing iQ6
points advance. The weekly Liverpool
report shows that the stocks of all
kinds there have increased $4,000 bales
the past week, and are now 100000,
against $4,000 last year. The Ameri-
can stock is $4,000 bales larger than
last week, and is now $4,000 bales.
against 100000 last year. The ahoat
stock of all kinds is 4O4,OO bales,
against 100000 last week and 351, 900
last year, and of American alone. $685.
900, against $4,000 last week and 314,-
900 last year. Ellison of Liverpool is
credited wit hestimating the probable
consumption of American cotton by
the world this season at 10, 300, 900 bales.
Some time ago he put it 10,600,0 900. Lit
tie or no Importance is attached to his
views--in fact, they have come to be
regarded as of no more value that

ulating evidence of short crop we
should hear so-called experts belittling
