Liverpool was up but not enough to reflect the strength here yesterday and traders took it for sign to unload what they acquired yes- terday Some local bulls took advantage of the nervousness of sellers and bought in at the lower opening figures. This brought a quick reaction and an advance which. however, was quickly lost on more selling at the advance. up to s2Ia and back again to sl.9slS.

 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3I.-Fair spot trans actions In the face of heavy receipts without any serious effect on prices continues to be the rule of Liverpool. which rather indicates that foreign traders have been eagerly wait ing for liberal movement to present some advantage for purchasing and do not care to let the opportunity escape. Lower prices were established here at the opening by additional long liquidation occasioned by a continued heavy movement of cotton to the ports, but a fair fresh speculative demand again ap peared and upon the announcement of lighter estimated local receipts, shorts started to cover over the holiday creating a steadier tone and carrying prices up to yesterdays figures
 Closing quotations 1 point lower to l point higher than yesterday.
 With the beginning of next year traders will give more serious attention to the movement the attempt will then be made to form more definite ideas about the size of the crop. Should receipts continue for an extended pe- riod on the present ratio and shake faith some what in smaller estimates, prices will doubt less be depreciated in consequence. On the other hand should the movement diminish and encourage confidence in the bureaus figures. the market will be stimulated decidedly and in such an event any improvement in trade conditions would rapid advance.

MARKET FOR FUTURES A SEVERE DECLINE IN LIVER POOL. Official Estimates for Light Receipts Caused a Scare of the Shorts and at the Close Gains
 Were Shown.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3I.--The cotton market opened steady and unchaned to points lower and was disposed to weakness throuhout the first hour in keeping with severe decline in Liverpool and under the influence of heavy receipts at the ports. Long cotton was sold freely. smaller holders fearing continued de- clines. Within the first hour March sold of to g. 04 and May to 6. |. Liver pool sent sell ing orders and it was claimed that Southern spot markets were easier. The South sent selling orders in the near months. January liquidation, however, seemed to have spent itself and the selling by commission houses was struggling at most. The official estimates for toInorrow's Houston receipts fell far short Of expectations and started general turn about of professional bears. Wall Street buy ing orders commenced to sift in. Then came a light estimate for New Orleans receipts. caus- ing general scare of ring shorts. Prices ran up point after point, not only regaining the early loss. but scoring additional advance, March reaching 8 IA. May 8 22. For the rest of the day the market displayed a fl m under tone, though at times of trihe from the top under selling for profits by noon buyers
 The market was finally quiet and net 20 3 points higher.

 IS ISOLATED Wires are Down and Bridges Gone. RIVER A RAGING TORRENT All Attempts to Reach There
 are Futile. Thirty-hve Feet of Catoma Creek Bridge on Hayneville Road De- stroyed-Repairs will Be
 Made at Once.

It has been impossible to get any fur ther particulars from Tallassee of the damage done by the flood to the dams of the Montgomery Water Power Com pany and the Tallassee Falls Manufac- turing Company as the wires of the Western Union and the Bell Telephone Company are submerged and broken by the waters of the Tallapoosa River, which is still raging torrent.
 The tracks of the railroad from Mill stead to TallaSSee are washed away and the county bridges over the stream are also gone, making it impossible to reach the place.
 w. M. Micou, Secretary of the TalIas- see Falls Manufacturing Company has made several attempts to reach the scene of the disaster, but has been un- able to do so. The report that a land slide had hlled the canal of the com pany is a matter of very great concern to him. but as the town is completely isolated, he has been unable to ascertain the correctness of the report
 Henry Jones, who is connected with the Montgomery Water Power Com pany, and w. F. Vandiver, who is Presi- dent of the company, have both attempt cess.
 Damage to Country Bridges.
 Tnirty-hve feet of the large bridge nross Catoma Creek on the Hayneviile road has been washed away. This was reported by County Engineer J. M. Gar 'ett. who personally investigated the aamage. He says force of workmen will repair the damage as soon as the water subsidies.
 The destruction of a number of smaller bridges have been reported, and the en- lire corps of roadbuilders will be put to york at once to repair the damage, and t is expected that within d few days iraffic throughout the county will be re- Iumed.
