NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-The market nat
uralIy opened active and less excited
than yesterday. The higher opening
prices were due mostly TO European
buying and the sharp rally in Liverpool.
Sentiment was also affected by report
from New Orleans that the crop report
at noon would make the yield under TO-.
600. 600 bales.
The list declined some under realizing
for room account and selling for Liver
pool account. The offerings were partly
absorbed by a prominent local short
who was understood to be covering in
anticipation Of the crop report. Esti-
mated port receipts are light.
