COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-The cotton
market opened steady with prices OH 1919
points under scattering sales by both
local interests and some foreign pressure,
all prompted by disappointing LIVERPOOL
cables and tremendous movement .oI
cotton at the ports. Prospects for an IN
crease of considerable over 1OO;OOO bales
in the insight for the week as compared
with last year, alarmed large and small
holders alike, and stimulated selling Tor
short account around the opening. Be
fore the end of the first hour The unload
ins movement had grown to large propor-
lions, with commission houses in the lead
as sellers. Nearly every one seemed to
have cotton to dispose of. while demand
was extremely light and almost of an
entirely pront-taking: nature by room
shorts. Later in the morning March
broke to 795 and May 500, under q small
avalanche of cotton from Wall Street, the
Slight rally towards midday the market
had every appearance of working still
lower before any pronounced change Tor
the better was to be expected, reports
reached the ring to the effect that South
ern spot markets were easier and the OF
fetal estimates for to-morroW,s receipts
were of a bearish average. There We're
occasional rallies in the afternoon on
turns for profits by the ring. but for the
most part the market was nervous and
irregular with prices disposed to seek still
lower levels. Sentiment for the time be-
ing was bearish. and the bears sold heav-
lily on the theory ttat-receints would con-
tinue large for some time to come and
that more long cotton remained to be
Iiouidated before any decided reaction
could occur. There was noto rally or
consequence in the last hour and the
market closed barely steady at a net de-
cline Of 11@14 points.

These the Dominating Features Of
Industrial Situation.
WEEK HAS. BEEN VERY QUIET
Iron aud Steel Are an Exception, as Ihsy

(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Satisfaction with the old and conf
dence In the new year are the dominant
FEATURES of the> entire industrial, COM
mercial and financial situation. The
week has naturally been quiet to the
verge of dullness as regards new Eusl7
ness, the main attention being concen-
trated in gathering up the threads Of old
business, in stock taking and in prepara-
tons for the future.
A conspicuous exception to the general
quietness is found in the iron and steel
situation, which gains rather than loses
activity. Here, however, the car Short
age question cuts a disturbing figure,
and one which, in view of the advanced
stage OF the season, bids fair to con-
tinue to unsettle both production and
consumption considerable.
FAMINE IN CARS.
Supplies of coke at the ovens are pill.
ing up, but the blast furnaces are shut
ting down because of the necessary link
between the two, an abundance of cars
not being Forthcoming. Southern pig
iron has advanced fifty cents per ton
and the Western trade is getting Its
chief supplies from this source. FLOODS
in the mining regions have interfered
with production. and the car shortage
still accentuates the scarcity Of coal, par
ticuIarly bituminous Anthracite sup
plies are smaller, notwithstanding total
production last year in excess of s53, &c.,
600 tons, a total IL per cent, larger than
ever before produced.
Prices show few changes on the week.
The cereals are on the whole higher, due
mainly to the strength of wheat. which
still supports the coarser grains. Cotton
has been shaded little, because of large
receipts, which are, however, claimed to
really represent good buying for export.
Cotton goods are quiet, as usual, at this
date, but closed the year 1901 much bet
ter than they began it. Fall River dlvl-
dends are slightly lower than the average
in 1900 with the mills producing the
better class of goods showing the best
