COTTON MARKET.

New York, Dec. 19.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet and firm, with prices
up l to points on scattered general
demand in which shorts took the lead.
This improvement was quite at vari-
ance with the cable news from Liver
pool, that market having lost fully one
point more than expected. Light re-
ceipts and continued cold weather in
the South were largely responsible for
our early improvement. After the
first furry of activity the market
lapsed into dizziness, from which it did
not fully rally during the rest of the
day. The room followed out yester-
days plan of covering shorts on de-
clines, and selling long cotton on every
slight advance, the idea being that for
the next ten days cotton will follow
very narrow rut and speculation will
hang fire. Spot cotton in the belt was
steady to firm, with prices generally
unchanged, demand was good at Gulf
and Atlantic ports, where prompt ship
ment of cotton was wanted. Interior
receipts, as well as those at the ports,
morrow's movement did not indicate
any great change in the immediate
futures. The forecast gave little hope
of relief, in fact, every prospect favor
ed continued low temperatures, with
snow tonight, in the Carolinas. Liquid
alton of January holdings forced that
option off at the close.
The market was finally quiet and
steady, with prices net points lower
to 8 points higher.

THE RICE MARKET.

Holiday indifference is further mani
fest in rice as in other staples; still.
as many a mickle makes a muckle"
so the aggregate of individual pur-
chases made up a siZable volume of
business for the week. 1t should be
remarked that the consumption is far
and away ahead of previous years;
much larger than actually appears by
statistical movement. Ordinarily, the
grocery trade carry some fair meas
ure Of stock, but thus far the present
season. purchases have only been for
immediate requirements and the rice
thus taken has gone into immediate
consumption. The movement since
the opening now stands 40 per cent.
ahead as against equal date last year.
AS heretofore alluded to, part is due to
the improved purchasing power of
Porto Rico; scarcity and high prices in
potatoes (now being largely importedD,
also the higher prices of competing
grades of foreign, has caused It's ex-
clusion, and by so much adds to the
patronage of domestic. Forward quo
tations from abroad. are however more
reasonable, and no doubt will exercise
a modifying effect on some holders
views, as soon as new crops begin to
offer.
Advices from the South note liberal
movement at all points; not a little
doing against future delivery. Along
the Atlantic coast prices have ad-
vanced K@Kc. In New Orleans and
the Southwest, prices continue irreg-
ular according to the need of money
or greed for business on the part of
millers and dealers.
Gables and correspondence from
abroad note fair movement of cleaned

NAVAL STORES.

Thursday, Dec. 10.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 361ac with sales of S54,
and closed firm and unchanged, with
no closing sales reported. After the
closing sales of a moderate lot were
made at an advance of nc on the Of
fetal closing, or 36%c. The undertone
OF the market is very firm, and the
outlook favorable for the maintenance
of present values. The demand is from
the best sources, apparently, and may
continue to give strong support to the
present upward movement. 1t is cur
rently believed that the National Tank
and Export Company, whose large
holdings of spirits may cut figure
later on will not sell for less than 40c,
which is the asked price according to
unofficial reports. Altogether conditions
are very bullish and it will be sur
prising if the price seeks a considera-
bly, higher level before the holidays.
To-day's receipts were $40, and the ex-
ports 6S.
ROSIN-The rosin market remained
quiet and featureless until after the
closing, when a weakness developed
that carried G and below off sc on
sales of a round lot. A large exporter
is reported as the buyer. No official
sales of rosins were reported during
the day. For the past few days resins
have ruled featureless in the face OF
an Indifferent demand, with buyers
hammering continually to bring the
price down on lows, the grades which
have been wanted most for a long
time. To-day's receipts were 3,097, and
the exports l. 250. Prices as follows:

New orleans, Dec. 19.-As Liverpool
was not encouraging our market open
ed practically unchanged, declined on
realizing, but improved subsequent
ly on fresh buying, easing off later on
the liberal port receipts and weakness
of spots, closing at net loss of 1 20
2 points on the day. The unfavorable
weather prevalent throughout the
South has curtailed the interior re-
ceipts and the expectation that this
will cause a decidedly lighter move
ment next week, restricts selling oc-
casioning a strong undertone. Euro
pean advices though are pessimistic as
it is claimed textile trade is so unsat-
isfactry that the consumption of
American will be considerably under
earlier anticipations. 1t seems also that
the bureaus estimate is generally dis
credited by spinners, which accounts
for the apathy exhibited by them since
it's issuance. Sentiment in American,
however, remains very bullish and any
further feature will be eagerly grasp
ed to enhance values further.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Market Closes Irregular and
Very Dull,

New York, Dec. 19.-Amalgamated
change records for the cratic charac-
ter of it's fluctuations to-day. SO great
was the uncertainty over the action to
be taken by the directors on the divi-
dend and the consequent effect on the
general market that trading in other
stocks than Amalgamated Copper was
practically suspended. The stock broke
several times during the morning, go
ing down Immediately after the open
ing to 635s, which wiped out the sud-
den gain at the close yesterday. From
that point it began an irregular re-
covery with frequent halts and re-
actions. A story got ahoat that the
full IL per cent. dividend was to be
declared, to be paid in scrip for such
proportion as was represented by the
dividends of subsidiary companies
which have been tied up by injunction.
The outstanding short interest be-
came frightened at this rumor and
bought to cover. The stock touched
691s before the directors had assembled
at the dividend meeting. 1t was only
a few minutes after the hour of as
sembling when the price slumped to
64h under a torrent of offers. The re-
bound was to STA and the stock then
tended to equilibrium and closed with
a net loss Of 15s. The action on the
dividend had not been announced when
the market closed. The further cut in
price of raw copper was not unexpect-
ed and there are predictions that the
level has not yet been reached to at
tract large buying orders. The an
nouncement of the cut did not inter-
rupt the upward course of Amalga-
mated Copper. which was then in
progress.
The undertone of the general mar
ket was firm, but there were sharp de-
clines in several leading stocks when
the cut in copper was announced and
also when Amalgamated Copper COM
menced it's wild movement in the last

IN the strength of continued good
9nand spirits of turpentine scored an
~. vance of Nc after to-day's official
,sing, with the price now 36%c. While
2 advance was on sales of a moder-
Ne lot it was currently admitted that
he undertone of the market was strong
On the demand from exporters and 9TH
pr buyers, and the outlook favorable
for continued upward tendency. This
belief is predicated upon the theory
that receipts are not to show any ma
terial increases for some time to come,
as they have been falling off for some
time past, and the suspension of work
on all farms for the holidays means
further decreases in receipts. In an
ticipation of this buyers have been
taking considerable spirits for some
time, the daily offerings by factors be-
ing readily absorbed.
Resins closed unchanged officially,
but after the closing were reported to
have sold &c off on G and below. The
-demaad all along has been mostly, if
not entirely, for lows, and in order to
get them buyers were in many cases
forced to take grades they did not de-
sire. Too days transactions are report
ed as large.
The cotton market closed unchanged
for spots, with the demand quiet, and
little doing in any quarter. Reported
sales We're q. Cotton futures at New
York also closed quiet and steady, 3
points up to points off, with little
of interest being done. Spinners are
still backward about accepting short
crop guesses, and take sparingly Of
the offerings. Mr.. Ellison is said to have
made a recent statement reducing his
figures on the worlds requirements of
American cotton to 10,660,000 bales. 1t
will be observed, however, that these
figures are the same as formerly given
as his minimum estimate, the maxi
mum at that time being IL, 100, 900 bales
and dependent upon the low price of
Adj in Liverpool for it's realization. Its
makeup included $4,000 bales for ia
pan. China, Mexico and Canada, and
1900, 900 bales to American spinners,
the balance going to England, France,
and the continent. AS there is nothing
new in the recent statement said to
have enlanated from him, it is assumed
that he has merely pointed to his for
lnler circular with the suggestion that
with an advancing market the mini
mum figures were more possible than
the maximum.

will show their tone and quotations at
the closing to-day:

cold weather continues over the entire
