FIby Speclal Leased Whe.I
 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. I2.-A severe storm on the coasts of England and Ireland prac- tically cut off communication with Liverpool and opening transactions on this side were without any guide from that source, though business proceeded in the usual way. Differ ent reports indicated an advance of from 36l to 6-64 in deliveries. but this information was not positive yet 1t Is quite probable that the English market was duly influenced by the pronounced steadiness displayed in American markets yesterday. Opening trades here were effected at about last evenings final figure. Offerings subsequently appeared il quantity owing to a lighter demand for spots and di- unfinished firmness in that department which carried prices lower. but around cents for March good spe culative demand was encoun- tered which caused rapid recovery. Clos ing quotations are point lower to l point higher than yesterdays.
 The movement to the ports Is exceedingly moderate, but bears account for this by the scarcity of transportation facilities. yet there seems to be no disposition either side to draw conclusions this The fact is that thus far there is nothing to indicate the realization of large crop estimates. An expansive movement at tlis period of tine season is to be expected, though it furnishes no clew to the actual size of the yield With the beginning of the new year the tendency of receipts will be regarded more seriously and should 1t appear as if the bureaus figures will be confirmed much higher prices will doubtless be observed.

 Prices ., 4 Points
 o&.,

NEW YORK. Dec. I2,-The cotton market opened steady at advance of I44 points on support from shorts who were placed Tn precarious condition by the failure of Liver pool cables to make their appearance as usual London cables stated that a heavy wind storm had suddenly cut LiN erpool off from the rest of the world so far as wire communication was concerned In view of the fact that market last night closed l29i3 points above the figures current when the English market finished yesterday and was still higher on the curb last night local bears had every req son to suspicion a radical change for the bet ter in Liverpool today. But after the opening our market had easier turn under profit taking by smaller holders and Hull in cover ing, the latter caused by an unfavorable turn of the New Orleans market and by light selling pressure from the South. Light re- ceipts and tardy cable from Havre stating that Liverpool had opened 445 points higher, caused a quick rally in the market, which still later broke quite sharply under active liquida- tion and show of courage by bear leaders, in part based on weakness in the stock market In the last hour. however. the market made a sudden turn and jumped back to last nights final bids on scare of shorts and on enthu- siastic bull support. started by report that on the opening bids before the final adjou1 h. ment there. Continental buying orders lent color to these reports and tended to give ad ditional strength to the buying movement. The South and New England spinners bought scat tering amounth on the late rise. Profit taking sent prices off a shade from the top in the last ten minutes.
 The close was quiet and steady with prices
