Murphv & CO.'S cotton letter.

New York, December 12.-Although cot
ton made only slight Roadway this MORN
ing, there was more confident feeling
in bull circles, and a corresponding air
of disappointment in some quarters where
a big crop had been looked for. Very bull
ish dispatches came from Alabama and
Texas Since the car famine talk proves
to have been grossly exaggerated, and
on the whole had little basis, at least no
more than is the rule most seasons. Since
big crop people have been compelled to
resort to the short car supply cry to help
pull through, the effect has been not only
to convince believers in a yield not much
over 10000, 900, but it has also caused
adoption of moderate estimates by peo-
pie who were undecided which course to
follow. 1t is evident that the excess over
last years figures will be wiped out be-
fore many weeks If the present ratio OF
receipts Is maintained. The Liverpool
weekly report is still, however, 200, 600 less
American cotton than on this date last
year. Slight changes occurred in the mar
ket but the weekend figures of 100000
less than last year, leaving only 10000
to be wiped out over last year, made
sellers very cautious. Port receipts $4,000;
last year $4,000.

c. w. Lee & Co.'S Letter to II. D. Goth
ran & Co.
New York, December 12.-One of the
best men on figures in the exchange has
been guessing on the amount In sight
each week. For a while he came very
close or 10000 or 10000 away. Then he
missed 1t 1000 and the next week 10000
We took a hand at it ourselves and the
first week guessed within 5000. Then this
week we talked 100000. The figures from
New Orleans were $4,000 against $4,000
last year. Now we have given up guess
ing. There has never been such a fall
ing off. Now no one compares the crop
with the 1899 crop of nine million bales.
That is absurd. The crop is certainly
10,500,00 and yet the movement this week
Is the smallest in four years and 1900
bales less than in 1899. It's no wonder
the best In the business can't figure and
give up trying. On this sort OF move
ment the price should do better. But
S35 for May was the best we could do
today. Then a lot of cotton came out,
cotton that has been held for some time
waiting for an advance. We sold several
thousand bales of May at about the same
price the cotton was bought at month
OF two ago. This sort of thing does not
pay, and holders realize the fact Had
1t not been for the stock market and steel
selling under $50 n share we could have
expected more of an advance. AS it was,
the tone seemed firm in one way and in
another rather disappointing. We have
looked for a temporary advance on light
receipts as every one else has. But above
SIC for March there is cotton for sale.
Until ideas of the crop or consumption
change the market will not enthuse much.
On an advance cotton should be sold and
we would not buy on a break of few
points. When the movement Increases
there will be no short interest to buy
cotton. There is now 100000 bales to de-
liver to January holders in New York.
Would not like to advise buying at SIC.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The local cotton market declined one
sixteenth yesterday.
The changes in the stock and bond mar
ket were as follows: Georgia Railway
and Electric common, declined from 40-41
to 1873; Republic Steel and Iron COM
pany, common. declined from 1921 to
1913; Sheffield, common, declined
from $500 to 54-57; Sloss-sheffleld, pre-
ferred, declined from 92-s5 to 1922.
In the produce market there was con-
siderable dealing in chickens sweet pota-
toes and country products. The large
consignment of oranges that came in this
week have been going fast There were
several hundred kegs of Malaga grapes
received from New York and they too.
have been going fast, selling at from $3.50
to s. a keg.
The prospects for turkeys for next week
is rather discouraging as letters from
Tennessee where the supply generally
comes from, say the quantity is very
limited this season. 10 cents per pound for
dressed turkeys being asked now, which
puts them to the consumer for twenty
cents.

vancing the Decline Came
LITTLE OUTSIDE SUPPORT
Undertone Was Weak at the Close,
With Leading Support From New
Orleans, Subsidlng In the Aft
ernoon-Sales 100000 Bales.

New York, December 1.-THE cotton
market after opening firm at unchanged
prices to an advance OF points, ruled
generally weak under liquidation. follow
ing disappointing volume of outside sup
port The general market bearings were
quite as favorable as any time during the
weeks advance of about u, which cul-
minated today. December having sold up
from $40 to 1888, January from S.1S to
| s. 49, March $40 to $780, May from BIZ to
s .S6 and July from s.12 to SIT during the
week. The advance eliminated early this
afternoon with the market finally barely
steady at net unchanged prices to de-
cline of points, or to points from the
top of the week. The reaction was in the
/ face of very steady to lac higher spot mar
kets, an advance of points on futures
and 4 points on spots at Liverpool, and
continued small receipts. The amount OF
cotton brought into sight during the week
was 1853. All bales against 440,311 bales last
year. while outside orders generally went
to the long side of the account. The adj
vance was arrested however by the un-
settled condition still prevailing in Wall
street with the rate of money high, while
the South American situation was also
| considered to be q disturbing factor. The
undertone of the market therefore, was
weak at the close, with leading support
from New Orleans a feature all the week,
| subsiding in the afternoon. The sales Of
future deliveries were estimated at about
| 900 bales.
