Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, December 7.-Bears in cot ton are calculating on the curtalment of production for helping their side and ex- pect that the meeting of mill representa- tives in Charlotte tomorrow will prove to their advantage. No matter what ac- tion may be adopted it is not expected to prove of any consequence. Resolutions to restrict the output will not increase the size of the crop and whatever agree ment may be made to restrict production it will avail no more than the annual threats of planters to restrict planting With spot cotton up to a remarkably high level, it is useless to talk prices down for futures. Prices for manufact- ured goods must be advanced to meet changed conditions. The trade continues bullish and occasional setbacks are prob- able. The bulge Is bringing out every bale and the movement before long is expected to shrink to small limits. Re- ceipts were heavy today and cables short of expectation. This unsettled the early market considerably and prices moved down at a rapid rate. Profit taking was on a large scale, although the leading bulls appeared willing to take consid- erable lot of January Receipts, how ever, scared some holders and the mar l1et weakened materially Cables were 1 to 3 points lower. Houston estimates for tomorrow were big and interior towns were generally full.

cOthran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert x Clay
 New Orleans, December 7.-DeVelop- ments in the cotton market today were somewhat of an adverse character and prices consequently suffered a sharp set back. Liverpool baked again and cables stated that the bureaus estimate was discredited abroad. Intimating that Eng fish spinners were determined to wait for further advices concerning the size of the crop. Liberal covering of recent pur- chases brought out a steady stream of offerings here. On account of increased cost of carrying cotton, resulting from the high prices, which seleyates the ex- pense of interest and loss in weight ma terialy, besides requiring almost double the ordinary outlay of money, speculation has been inclined to avoid current deliv- cries and the comparative weakness of these near positions was regarded as indicating an absence of demand for spots and the promise of continued free receipts persuaded a large increase in speculative offerings. A reaction from the extreme high prices that were so suddenly established, seems quite natural and af- ter it's accomplishment the trade will be regular trade demand is figuring in the present situation There i5 much talk about concerted action among spinners towards curtailment of manufacture and if would be interesting to know what de- gree of compulsory curtailment was oc- casloned by prevailing prices. A little time will explain many things and mean while there will be an opportunity to scan the movement and see with what degree of willingness the country will part with the spot staple

Caldwell 6 Wards Cotton Letter.

By H. X B. Beer.
 New Orleans. December 7-As Liverpool advices were very disappointing our mar ket opened 15 to 1T points lower, but short ly after improved to points on fresh buying. The continued heavy receipts, the weakness of spots and a general dispo- sltion to re9lize profits caused a break of s2 to 34 points from the top, making the net loss il to 45 points on the day. The port receipts for the three days aggregated 10S, coo against 107000 last year. The semi weekly interior receipts at the thirteen leading interior towns were estimated at los, 900 against 71,000 last year. These figures combined with the heavy estimat- ed New Orleans. Galveston and Houston receipts for tomorrow made spot holders throughout the south uneasy and occa- stoned free offerings of their holdings from l4 to 5-16 of a cent lower, without attracting buyers Exporters who bought on speculation upon aseertaining the weakness of spots, sold December as hedge, and this combined with the pres sure of notices, was instrumental in fore ing that month 10 points under March. From present indications it looks as If spinners will not follow the acvanee. and when it is considered that about half of the crop is still to be marketed, it is questionable, whether existing values. ranging nearly five cents a pound higher than last year, can be maintained, unless receipts soon decrease considerably. or an- other brisk spot demand suddenly ma terialzes. Under such conditions we think well of taking profits on steady periods and would suggest purchases on- ly on marked declines.

By Miller & Co.,
 New York, December 7-The Liverpool market this morning is much lower than expected and in consequence New York opened off to 12 points, after which there was disposition to rally, but heavy selling on the part of both German and Liverpool houses. as well as some pro- fessionals has forced the market down, and the closing tonight Is around the lowest prices of the day. The one strik- ing feature is the decline in the spot mar ket of Ds and a report from some sec lions that there Is a pressure of selling which is also assisting to depress the New York market We are due a reaction af- ter an advance of S5O points, but cannot yet look for any big break and will favor buying rather than selling It is said the bulls are encouraging a shcrt interest by letting prices off for turn to invite sales

New Rifles For Militia.

WASHINGTON, Feb. LIN accord
ance with the terms of the new militia
law recently enacted by congress- the
entire citizen soldiery is to be supplied
with the regular rifle. The state mi
litia iaorganizations, aggregate approx.
mately l45 900 men, nearly double the
number Of men in the regular army
establishment. They will be furnished
their arms as rapidly as they can

done at the San Francisco mint in
1883. This was the first time at
Hawaii had any silver coinage of her
own, and there was a big rush to get
possession of the money.
A shrewd gang of speculators soon
saw an opportunity to make a good
profit out of the coins by selling them
to collectors, and after some little de-
lay they bought up all the silver
dimes, of which there were some $780,
600 and held them. The dime was the
smallest fractional bit ofcurrency and
was soon obtainable only at a prem.
ium. The dimes are now worth 40
cents apiece, and are hard to obtain
at even that price. An attempt was
also made to corner the silver quar-.
tiers, but as there were 100000 of them
the scheme ended in failure, the syndi.
cate not having enough money at its
command to keep control of the ma
