Tuesday, Dec. 9.
An argument has been offered by the
bears in the cotton markets during the
past few days to the effect that owing
to the car shortage in the South, the
product is being held back, and that
the present receipts would be much
larger were traffic facilities uninter-
rupted. In transportation circles the
impression is that the bears are en-
deavoring to make capital of imagin-
airy conditions, and that there will be
no great influx of cotton at the re-
ceiving. centers later because there are
no congestions now.
Whatever the real condition In the
interior it is certain that in the South
Atlantic less complaint of car short
age has been heard this season than
during previous years.. and that the
car facilities on the whole have been
all that could be desired Cotton is
given the preference when cars are
needed, with lumber, naval stores and
other products being left by the way
side if need be, hence, there is every
reason to believe that, congestions
have been prevented. The experiences
of the local trade last season are re-
called, when at a specially called metN-
ing of the Savannah Cotton Exchange
conditions We're brought to the atten-
ton of compress and railroad men,
with view to obtaining relief, which
was promised at that time and given
very soon. But there has been an b.
sence of similar complaints this sea-
son, so that the presumption is that
the railroads have been meeting the
demands for car Service in this section
of the cotton belt. The bears have
also, assigned the weather as a check
to the port movement, which may very
soon be expected in conse quence to
show big increase, with a corre-
spending depression in the market
The naval stores markets closed firm.
Turpentine closed firm at 50%e,. with

Murphy 4 Co.'S Cotton letter.

New York, Dec. 9.-Cotton is begin
ming to attract attention once more,
mainly because of the moderate moves
ment, Taking the extreme, estimates
so far promulgated, we find an average
not much over 100000 bales, and
these figures fail to be looked upon as
quite full. until it shall appear that
there is more cotton to come forward
than now appears probable. After all,
the only guide for estimating the size
of the crop is the movement 10, to the
middle of December. Previous to, that
date. all sorts of ridiculous explapa-
tons are, offered for the movement be-
ing small or heavy, but we find that
the receipts are usually a, true index
Of the size. Of the crop. j. This fail the
explanation IS that there is. a scarcity
Of ears, A scarcity, of labor. and the
holdings in the interior, just as we al
ways hear when the, movement fails
to. reach expectations. Our belief Is
that the car famine talk will prove
this season to be the grossest exagger-
alton ever circulated by the +, bear
clique, and that this will be proven
when the final figures are presented,
thus confirming views OF exhaustion
as entertaining In most conservative
quarters, The early, market was high

vance of 2Q3 points. Port receipts, 49,

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Dec. 9.-The cotton
market open steady at an advance of
to points or at the best figures
ot The session., on better cables than
looked. for with the Liverpool market
showing a. net advance of .3h to. 4
points. For a time there was a fair
degree of public interest and during
the early forenoon. the market held
steady on this and covering, when
public. interest subsidized and the To-
cal traders attacked the market. Under
the latter selling prices worked of
8 to s points,. after which there was
partial rally started by the small
ness of the interior movement, the
SEMI weekly figures showing receipts
of $3.50 bales, against, 1898 for the
corresponding period last year, and
only half what they have averaged
for period of five years, Port re-
eeipts Were also disappointing, be-
ing 1874 bales against 74,S69 bales last
year. On this showing the 'in sight,
ngureS for the week We're calculated
at about 400, bales against 425, ass
last year and 459,632 for 1900. The sell
ling for short account was almost en-
tirely upon the assumption, that a
scarcity of cars and bad weather ac-
counted for the smallness of the move
ment- New, Orleans was a pretty good
buyer in the local market to-day. with
