Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

Chicago Dec. 17.-There was not
much out of the ordinary in wheat to-
day. The early market was weak on
scattered selling and weakness in De-
cember corn. but gained strength as
the day progressed on local buying.
The Venezuelan news was a late help.
Sman clearances, good weather and
light cash demand were against prices.
Firm cables and small receipts were the
bullish influences. Armour was late
buyer of December.
Commission house liquidation and
poor support from people supposed to
be long on December corn, caused ex-
IRENE weakness in this option to-day
Selling was on favorable weather and
large receipts. There was a slump to
47Ac from last nights close of SIC.
There was little reaction before the
close. May showed a firm undertone
in spite of big decline in December,
closing strong. Interest was generally
in nearby options.
Oats were a little easier on a light
trade.
Commission houses demand prevent
ed a great decline, cash demand was
light, and there was a strong opening
in provisions, but later selling credited
to packers caused an easier feeling, and
a gradual decline to under yesterdays
close. Trade was mostly local. There

hour, when selling movement devel-
oped, which wiped out practically all
of the earlier gains and carried some
prices below last night
The reaction to-day was rather more
gradual and not quite so severe as
yesterday, and was followed by a
steadier tope just before the close.
There is no reason to doubt that the
late selling movement to-day came
from the same sources and with the
same objects as that of yesterday
that is to say, from sources in touch
with the bankers money pool and with
the object of discouraging any indul-
gence in speculation The sharpness
and suddenness of last nights decline
led to the supposition in some quar-
tiers that it was due to some coming
bad news regarding the Venezuelan
situation. To-day's decline had no such
suspicious to account for II. The ear
ly strength in the market was due in
no small part TO the relief felt over
the failure of yesterdays sinister rum
ors to materialize.
The facts developed overnight re-
garding the Venezuelan situation, al
though containing some unfavorable
features were 80 much less threaten
ing than had been feared. that sDecu-
ment and n deposition to bug stocks
was manifested on that score. A num-
Der, OF special influences also helped
the show of strength. The passage OF
the Pennsylvania tunnel franchise by
the New York Board OF Aldermen
helped tho stock OF that company and
it's subsidiary companies. Stocks OF
other companies with terminals on the
New Jersey shore OF the Hudson were
also affected. Sugar continued 10 re-

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of 1 to
an advance of l point and ruled fairly
active, but irregular, at one time show
ing rise of to points on the more
active positions, as compared with the
closing figures of the previous day.
while the lowest figure of the session
showed a net decline of 2 to Z points
with the market finally barely steady
at net unchanged prices to a decline of
{ points. The room contingent sold
on the bearish showing made by Eng
llsh cables and clearing weather in the
South in the face of firm to &c higher
spot markets in the South, light re-
ceipts and estimates of continued light
receipts. There was an absence of
public support and the market easily
yielded to local bear pressure until
January had sold off to S.49c, March
to $500, May to 8.32c and July to S32c
Then a local news bureau published a
statement indicating that the JAN
uary bull clique, after having accumu-
lated 100000 bales in the way of JAM
uary contracts had made private set
Elements with spot holders to the ex-
tent of 100000 bales, leaving the net
long interest 100000 bales, against
which none of the cotton now in New
York and 100000 bales that was held
in the South for shipment to New York
could be delivered, while to bring 700,-
900 bales to New York before the end
of January would be an impossibility.
Following this statement January
worked up 9 points and the remainder
of the list advanced generally TO 5
points, after which the market became
weak under selling started by large
philadelphia interest, which under
mined some of the weaker long ac-
counts and gave the market a declin-
ing tendency at the close. The total
sales of futures were about $50, 900
bales.

Further interest was shown in to-
days cotton markets, though the
movement was within narrow range
and there was also an absence of ma
terial market influences that rendered
the situation on the whole listless.
Traders showed no disposition to en-
ter the market, despite their bullisn-
ness, which comes as the result of a
lesser movement. While the market
has apparently struck a period of
hesitation none believe that prices are
present.
The receipts at the ports continue
below last year, with the total to-day
being $4,000 against $4,000 last year.
A dispute between the bulls and
bears as to the cause of the falling off
in the receipts still exists, with one
side claiming it is due to the various
causes, and the bulls saying it is due
to the scarcity of cotton in the interior.
Whichever is true, doubt exists, and
the trade will await more positive de-
yelopments as to the actual facts,
which it is probable will be disclosed
within a short time. A holiday dull
ness was looked for in the cotton mar
ket by some a month ago, but it now
looks like trading is to continue ac-
tive, with gradual rising in the market
later on. Holders in the interior are
stiff in their views, and will not part
with their cotton, except at full prices.
Nothing in the situation at the present
seems to frighten them, and if they
cannot get the prices they ask they re-
main out of the market.
The naval stores markets opened
firm, and closed firm, with the de-
mand satisfactory. The wholesale mar
kets closed steady. In the sea island
cotton market large sales have been
reported unofficially so far this week.
Resume of the markets as follows:
