IBy Private Leased wire.l


 NEW YORK, Dec. o.-Operations in the cotton future market today were generally less active. but the interest in the market was none the less general. There was more or less excitement, and the fluctuations continued highly cratic and this was an indication that there is an uncertain feeling regarding the general situation. Views with regard to the future were considerably mixed and naturally sentiment for the most part was mixed The English market news little bearish, the cables renecting lower prices for futures Spot cotton on the other side continued firm. how ever. and under the circumstances there was an almost general impression that spot cotton is badly needed on the other side. There was a lot of talk that there would be no imme- diate curtailment of consumption and this talk served to encourage many outside longs. On the better prices. however there was consid- erable quiet selling for the account of longs but shorts were rather tmid and on the de cltnes there was more less active buying Still according to the close observers in the pit there was more realizing on the bull side than there was covering on the short side Hence the belief prevailed that there is still substantial short interest in the general market. During the day Liverpol was A seller of cotton in this market and Sully was also seen to be selling considerable stuff through brokerabe interests. Consequently some of the outsiders sold for profits but long cotton for the most part was well taken The statistics attracted but little attention The figures in most instances met expectations and estimates for the week end figures were rather bearishly inclined. The estimated port receipts for the day were 46. 900, against 46 TO for the same day last year.

Export CTS and spinners are influenced by statistics and as they do not corroborate the small crop estimate issued they are remaining out of the market. The. public and the majority of op- orators. though. believe that the bureau crop estimate is approximately correct and that their views will be confirmed ultimately. Small crop ideas and bullish sentiment have pre- vailed to this time and facts have been ig nored. Under such conditions it is pest to act conservatively as long as there is restrict ed spot demand and receipts continue heavy therefore we only suggest purchases on marked declines.

 NEW YORK. Dec. 9-The action of the manufacturers at Charlotte was not unexpect- ed. The trade in raw material here seems to believe that convention looking to the ad- vance in price of gods would be much more successful than one looking to curtailuoent un- der existing conditions. Reports of advancing markets are coming in from dry goods quar- ters. For weeks past we have pointed out that manufactured goods must rise to meet the threatened famine supply of cotton, and it is expected that this will be absolutely neces- sary before long. The only unsatisfactory fea- ture just now is the big receipts, but there is some evidence of this changing before many days and sharp decline in the movement is probable. Early prices were in some cases up as much as 10 points today, although cables were hesitating and nervous at first. Later they were up 4G7 points net and although there was good deal of liquidation we man aged to make a good advance Reports were that many fields were being stripped bare and t' all ! would he in by the end of Le year.

 conspicuous strength of the market was due

 But there was fairly good absorption of the selling and a growing hope of an awakening
 interest in the market on the part of the out
 side public. The fact that conditions in the
 money market have become such as to allow
 resources for manpuiative advance and that
 conditions at large have attained state

Steel preferred was well sold and we think the same interest sold 1t which has been sell ing 1t and Rock Island for some time past. Brooklyn Rapid Transit had boom and there have been many iumors about 1t that we cannot keep track of them all.

,- lby ETivafe Wire tTonlfC. w. Lee S COL < NEW YORK, Dec. 9.--one has not to go hack many days to find a counterpart of the present market. It will be remembered that when prices ranged between l.06 and 20 for a week the market had half a dozen sink ing spells each day. The nit would grow stronger and cotton would be bought only to have the market grow weak again. But the break each time failed to carry prices low ns the previous Now have had May ovef l2.7o and a break to l22 20. The break today carried May to I235. We can see the price bac kto l2.25 or about there and 1t will furnish no indication of the next move. If ahe price breaks below I2 20 we are likely to have further setback. It is all a matter of guess work at this point. We are either right or wrong Either the crop Is moderate and prices in the Spring will be much higher and the best sentiment i nthe business Is right. Present crop is larger than any one. but the bears realize and later are going to have a crash. Reports from the South are not such to furnish much foundation for big crop news The market is heavily long and for this reason advise profit taking on all advances for the present.
