Cotton Letter.

C. w. Lee & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H D.
Cothran & Co.
New York, December 10.-There was lit
tie change In the cotton outlook. As far
as speculation went it was holiday mar
ket.
It might just as we'll have been the day
before Christmas or New Years as far as
business Is concerned. Nothing less inter-
esting could be imagined. On the one
hand small receipts to prevent short sell
ing and on the other large crop ideas and
silver disturbances prevented buying. Be
tween the extremes pit traders hardly
knew what to do. Only one thing seemed
certain that one should not buy when the
market looked like going up and should
not sell when 1t looked like going in
the opposite direction. One usually buys
when things look like advancing, but of
late 1t has been found that any one buy
ing when the market looked the strong
est was sure to lose money. This seems
to indicate that the factors underlying
the situation are tending in one direction
and the immediate factors tend In the
cher. We regard the market as narrow
one and a little inquiry around the pit
shows that the underlying feeling is
against the market in the long run. For
the present light receipts, bad weather
and the absence of much cotton In Liv-
erpool gives traders an idea that prices
may be better temporarily. Even those
who look for a break below cents later
in the season are inclined to think an
advance possible this month. But they
are waiting for an advance to sell on
and are not willing to buy to help IT
along. Under such conditions we would
rather sell on every bulge and would
not buy except on good breaks.

LOCAL MARKETS.

There was no change in the cotton mar
ket yesterday, but the wagon receipts
were good, being 265 bales. The increase
in the receipts is said to be due to the
fact that the people who have been hold
ing their cotton have concluded the price
will not advance any more. and as they
reed money for the holidays, they are
letting 1t go.
The stock and bond market was quiet
and practically without change.
In the produce market the staples are
all steady. Apples have been very plep-
tiful this season, but there lis some COM
plant being made as to the general run
of the stock, which is considered poor.

New York. December 10.-Only slight
changes occurred in the early market.
Later on there was fair buying, and es-
pecially by foreign houses, which adj
vanced prices. The days trading was
moderate. Receipts continue moderate.
Cables were of a character calculated to
make no impression on the local market.
The feeling was mixed, with an underly-
ing bullish sentiment. The main feature
of observation continues to be the move
ment, and so long as this keeps moderate
big crop estimates must be held in abey-
ance. The chances largely favor small
crop estimators. The car famine talk
falls to shake confidence Of bulls, and is
no longer expected to- cut much figure in
shaping prices.
Prices are moderate, and 1t may be re-
marked that there is a decided convic-
tion in many quarters that the crop
cannot possibly exceed 10700,00O. Should
the movement of December wind up with
no decided increase In receipts. bears
