COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Dec. S1.-The> cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 263
points. For the day preceding a holi-
day speculative operations We're on a
scale most satisfactory to the trading
interests, with prices close up to the
best point of the season and 80 points
above the lowest on the present crop.
January started out as the bull fea-
ture, increasing its advance to points
soon after the call. Its highest point
was 6.11, or points above the previous
night In March and May the feature
was good buying for Wall street pool
interests and by prominent Philadel-
phia people. There was also a good
general demand early in the session on
overnight orders by people who re-
gard the present rather liberal port re-
ceipts as but temporary. expecting
them to be followed by less oppressive
arrivals in the near future. The Eng
fish cables while opening to 4 points
lower, later contributed considerable
aid to the bulls by showing a partial
recovery, yet it could hardly be said
that the final advices from abroad dis
played hearty response to the bullish
developments here during the session.
Late offerings by room traders were so
quickly absorbed by the market as to
check aggressiveness along this line.
From the South reports were quite
bullish as to the spot situation, export
ers were ready buyers of the staple
and private English cables noted a
general European covering movement
as we'll as some expansion of specula-
tive business. At one time during the
afternoon prices lost several points
under local realizing, but this was fol-
lowed by returned buying except in
the case of January, which closed about
points under the top. The market
closed officially very steady in tone
with quotations from 2 to 10 points
higher, late positions showing the
greatest Improvement. Total sales OF
futures were estimated at 45o, 900 bales
