Murphy a. Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York. December 26.-A holiday spread prevailed in the cotton market today. Liverpool and New Orleans were both closed and the consequence was a cessation of business except in a perfunctory way Returns of yesterdays s movement came struggling in at a slow pace and the absence of anything new over the holiday, there was nothing on which to base new business in conse- quence of which complete stagnation pre- vailed most of the day. Uncertainty as to the outcome of the January deal keeps trade in a state of suspense. The early prices were a shade easier, with scarcely any business. The weather was fair in the south with temperature IS to 49. Everything turned on receipts and as reports were tagging behind there was next to no demand. The weeks move ment was a matter of uncertainty up to the close of business. The interior re- ceipts for the week so far as indicated were again over last year and last week. The days total business was insignificant and unworthy of special comment.

BUSINESS WAS VERY SMALL

New York December 26.-Today's cot ton market opened dull at a decline of l point. It rallied to net rise of to points and eased off with the close quiet and steady at a loss of 1 to points to net advance of 1 point.
 As was to be expected in an advance Of a local holiday, New Orleans and Liver pool closed for the cay and both will re man closed until Monday. Business in cotton was of moderate proportion. The total transactions, however, were in- creased by some special trading in Jan uary and March, popularly attributed to undoing of hedges the net result of which was, as alleged, reduction in the January long interest following ma terial increase in the New York stocks on which the running count is 147.74O bales against 9s,599 on December l, with the warehouse stock 112,153 against S2,262 December 1, including a certified stock of 1Os 2O3 against 65,9oS December l. This material increase in the local stock is said to be in anticipation of large de- liveries to be made next Monday in Jan uary contracts. Total sales 75,000 bales. The general undertone of the market was quite firm on a disappointing movement and bulllsh week end statistics.

Cotton Letter.

c. w. Lee 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter to Coth-
 ran &s Co.
 New York, December 26.-It was a sub ject of congratulation to both buyers and sellers that there was fun on both sides. Those who wanted to buy was glad that there were no more in the same boat for few buying would have put the price up owing to the small supply. But the same was true of the sellers. few more sellers would cause shap break. A thousand or two bales changed prices de- cidedly as there was no business. Liver pool and New Orleans were both closed and this left very little outside trading for local houses. The tone continued about the same as early in week. No one seemed to know what to do. Half a hun dred operators were ready to buy if profits could be obtained, or to sell if success was to come from that direc- ton. In the uncertainty they did neither As a result prices ranged from s.31 to
