M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS. Dec 6.-Liverpool today reported spots steady at unchanged prices, but deliveries were quoted barely steady at a de cline of 2-64d. Freer offerings from the south for forward shipment were held responsible for that condition, though favorable opinion of the market expressed in private cables evidently being founded on a better trade out look and the diminutive stocks of raw cotton in spinners' hands On this side. early trans actions were characterized by freer liquidation of recent purchases. being influenced by an easier tone of spots but there was fair speculative demand at the decline which held prices steady. Closing quotations are about | point lower to l point higher than yesterday. There have been developments in connec- tion with the movement as yet calculated to establish definite ideas about the crop Con- sidering the favorable weather that prevailed in the early part of the season the impress sion prevails that the movement has pro ceeded with greater rapidity than usual yet there many inclined to the opinion that much cotton has been held for higher prices. The tendency of receipts will therefore prob ably exercise considerable influence on the course of prices in the near future, though in the meantime. much will depend on the nature of demand and offerings in the spot depart

WALL STREET REVIEW FEARS OF MONEY STRINGENCY
 PREVALENT. These Precipitated Active Selling , Throughout the List-Many
 Irregular Rallies and
 Checks to the Decline.

NEW YORK Dec. 6.-Fears of money stringency gained the upper hand in the stock narekt today and precipitated active selling throughout the list. The bears were active and eenrgetic in taking the market away at buying to cover at frequent intervals caused many irregular rallies and checks to the de- cline. The demand quickly fell away on those rallies and the activity in the market was only renewed when prices began to give way again. The apparent running 1u, ot the nS recent ,h. spe sequent realizing by the longs was feature of the market. The stock made an effective fallying point for the bears in their aggres- dealings the stock fell to 1854. representing AmslEamated Copper. which had nuctuated rather sluggtshly. but heavily all day. took with its prsuioas low S record of 7Ii:.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
LIVERPOOL CABLES WERE OF
 BULLISH CHARACTER
Free Receipts and Larger "In Sight" Figures Were Responsible for Lu1l in Buying-Small
 Changes at Close.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The cotton market opened steady with December points lower and other months unchanged to points high CT. after which firmness developed by brisk demand from shorts and fair room sup port, all based on bullish Liverpool cables and favorable advices from southern spot mal kets Commission houses. however, appeared to have more selling than buying orders and Wall Street seemed to be taking profits. The English market turned heavy before the close and prices here gradually sold off, while trad ing became less active Before midday the carly impTovemt mt had been wiped out and a slight net decline recorded under light pressure from the bear side. The feature of the early buying was the demand for the ac- count of prominent local house. The cotton taken by this firm gave the impression that Southern markets were stifening up. Larger Tin sight figures than expected for the week. with free receipts today, discouraged buying in the early afternoon. January sold of to 7.9I and July to 7.87. In the last hour prominent floor brokers app arei in the ring with large buying oruers for January and March and this soon stiffcned prices to last nights bids at the same time checking the de- sire of small holders to sell. January worked up to 7.07 with the other months showing corresponding improvement. The market gained additional strength just before the close on a rumor that wool was strong. active and higher The close was firm with prices net point lower to 1 point higher.

FN1 of grain markets did not provide much excite ment but curb trading after the regular close was one of the heaviest in months and re- vealed shortage among pit traders that ex- ceeded all calculations. So vigorous was this demand from scalpers who had been pounding the market all day in a vain effort to force liquidation by outsiders that May wheat was sharply advanced to the best price of the sea son, largely through sympathy with corn for which 1t was freely substituted. Poor weather for the new crop Winter wheat and liberal milling demands were also strengthening fac tors, besides exports from all ports of the United States amounting to 4.SloSI2 bushels
 Cotton was aroused from its legthargy by an unexpectedly low official statement of the cur rent crop at only g, 674. 900 bales. when about a million more was predicted by the members of the leading exchanges. Vigorous specula- ton and advance of over S2 bale occurred when the low yield announced.
