in the rush Of life and the pursuit OF
it's emoluments Or honors. do not show
a realization Of our faith in the brother
hood of man until the vision OF the
empty stocking, hanging in the howell
and in the mansion, makes all hearts
beat in unison.
On this glad day let US, one and all,
cultivate this broad Christmas spirit
the spirit which came into the world
when the Christ child was born. The
star that stood over Bethlehem gives
cheerful brightness to every home where
the Christian spirit reigns today. AS
the wise men Of the East worshipped
the infant Jesus. so the child is the OBJ

women IF this era.
The beautiful thing about Christmas is
that the birthday of the Saviour is eel

the celebration now, it will come to them
in ripper years. and they will seek in turn
to give to the future generations the
joys of the Christmas-tide that makes the
memory Of Christmas the sweetest in
their lives.

New Orleans, May 24.-Our market
opened 1@2 points higher on new
months and unchanged on late, subse-
quently declined 294 on realizing.
About this time, however, reports of a
better demand for spots were circu-
lated, causing an advance of 11613
points from the bottom on old-crop po-
sitions and 244 on new. The light re-
ceipts also occasioned bullish feeling,
preventing speculative short selling.
making the net gain 7@S points on
summer months, and about l on the
new. Speculation is practically dor
mant. and the business done is con-
fined to room traders, which accounts
for the sharp and quick fluctuations
daily. Operators to-day were fearful
that Liverpool would not respond to
the recent decline. and consequently
evened up over Sunday. In the mean
while the market is continually fever
ish and erratic on summer months, be-
ing Influenced by small orders either
way. The new crop months have more
stability and are attracting traders.
Values will continue to be ruled by
weather conditions and the demand

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, May 24-The weekly
Chronicle reports stated that the
weather has been favorable, rain fell
in most localities and on the whole,
was moderate at some points in Mis-
sissippi and Southwest dry weather
has prevailed. Bradstreet's reports
from Memphis, Montgomery and New
Orleans, all stated that cotton was do
ing well. Dry goods reports, accord
ing to the Chronicle, are without ma
terial change. A scarcity of goods in
some departments continue and an inn
preston prevails that an expansion of
business will be seen next month. The
small receipts are about the main bull
point at the present time, and if the
movement should continue to fall off,
10000 or more weekly to the end of the
season, as bulls pretend, we may look
for a better market although the idea

ent under prevailing weather condi-
tons. A report indicating 31a per cent.
increased acreage according to returns
to a leading Spectator, is making lit
tie impression in cotton circles. Early
prices were a shade better for the near
months. The market attracted very
little attention, but later advanced
some on July manipulation. Port re-
oeipts were $500, against 900. There
was no rain of consequence in the
South. Estimates for Monday: New
Orleans, LOO to 1,400, against 3,139;
Galveston, 100 to 200, against 1851;
Houston, $50 to 200, against $685.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, May 24.-Spot cotton
was in good demand throughout the
half day. Quotations advanced 1-16c
on all grades.
In futures the market opened quiet
at from even figures to 2 points ad-
vance for august, and during the
morning hours worked up slowly on
light receipts, a better outlook for
peace in South Africa, shorts covering
over Sunday, and an occasional bit
of vigorous bull missionary work, and a
rumor from New York that Liverpool
was buying cotton in that market. The
closing showed net gains of 10 points
on May, II on June, Z on July, on Au-
gust, 3 on September, while the bal
ance of the list was unchanged.

IN sight for the present week was
estimated at $4,000 bales against 65, 1874
bales for the same week a year ago.
The weather forecast indicated gener-
ally clear conditions for Sunday in the
belt. while the estimates for Mondays
receipts were light as compared with
actual receipts for the same day last
year. Europe and the South were eau
tous buyers of the summer months
here after the call; local longs sold
for profits. Most of the early session
July ranged between S,92c and S.94c and
other options in keeping. Wall street
interests had few orders in the market.

Saturday, May "a.
The markets closed at the usual
oorlv hours to-day, with little of inter-
act in any quarter. Cotton closed
some better at both New Orleans and
New York, stock were very steady,
With gains throughout the list, and
money was easy.
TIL Journal of Commerce, New York,
oives the following report on the dry
goods market:
Both buyers and sellers report the
market of more or less trying charac-
Ter. The goods in best request are
i scarce and difficult to secure, and such
goods as are on hand are not easy to
dispose of at current prices. Thus,
while the market generally may be de-
scribed as firm. there are some eXcep-
lions which, if accepted as an indica-
lion of general conditions, would prove
misleading. That is, buyers can occa-
sionally purchase on favorable terms
goods in stock, bus at the same time
have in the majority of instances to
nay full quotations, and even those
are not always able to place orders.
There is no disposition on either side
TO unduly force matters, and it is still
evident that the prevailing policy is to
wait the developments of the next few
weeks"
The turpentine market closed firm
at 45Lc. with the demand good and the
offerings wiped up Resins closed firm

New York. May 24-Our market
opened with sales of July at S.936S. 92c,
and after selling at S.970S.9Sc ruled at
S.97c at II a. m. The prospects of ap-
preaching peace in South Africa
brought many buying orders from Liv-
erpool merchants, which, together with
the small Continental demand, was
more than sufficient to start the local
trade buying. 1t would appear that
some little short interest was created
here yesterday afternoon on good crop
advices. 1t is the inquiry from the
Continent that started the demand.
which is predicted on the light move
ment. They are supposed to require
some 300, 900 bales more before the end
of the season. These anticipated pur-
chases are looked to more than offset
the effect of the lack of speculation,
and the good crop advices Liverpool
received on Thursday the same quo
tations before their close as we sent
them this afternoon. The spot market
was quiet and steady, 1-16d advance.
