Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York December 1S.AForeign ad- vices were rather disappointing early in the day on account of the Russian-Jap political situation. Nevertheless, cables showed further rise and the bear ee- ment while expecting some advantage of the moment was not very confident of in- auguraating any selling pressure sufficient to prevent the ultimate trend of prices upward, especially as reports multiplying of sharp decrease in the movement at at early date. Notwithstanding the re- markable advance the bulls are looking for level which will make present prices appear extremely cheap before the sea sons end. Spots are being firmly held every where and whether or not receipts will eventually prove very heavy the be- lief is that spots will continue to be held at very high figures for some time. Prices opened to points higher. Spots were again active in covering and there was a good deal of southern buying, but there was a weakening before long on account of Japan Russian troubles Port receipts 4S,C00 against 10000. A fresh buying wave during the day sent prices up on less war like talk from Europe and the east and big covering at midday.

 Futures opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 10 points on cov- ering by shorts and rather more general commission house buying with European houses also buyers, presumably for the purpose of undoing hedges. The advance was encouraged by firm primary markets and smaller port receipts and with room longs about the only sellers. The market ruled steady to firm all day, closing steady at net advance of 15 to 25 points. Sales, 114000. December at $6,4O46.45, Jan uary S6. 30d650.

Caldwell 6 Wards Cotton Letter.

By E. and B. Beer.
 New Orleans, December lS.-As early Liverpool adyices were better than eX- pected our market opened tos points higher on the near months and advanced to F on the late. The later easiness in Liverpool, due to war-like rumors ln the east, shortly after was instrumental in establishing a decline of $ to 10 points, About this time it became known that spots were higher and that exporters were buying everything offered conse- quently fresh buying came in steadily for the balance of the session and caused an improvement of l6 to 3s from the bot tom. Near the close slight recession took place, making the net gain 20 to 34 points on the day. The amount brought into sight during the week was iQ3,OO0 against 34S, GOO last year and the total mar keted from September to date has been 6146,000, against 6.0i4,0O0 last year. The thirty-one leading interior towns during the week received 2i4O00 bales, against 1SS 0C0 last year, and the aggregate stock held by them is 4S0 coo against 52S GOO last year. The movement on it's face now points to a crop of 10S30, 000. but is con fidently believed by the majority of opera tors that the bureaus estimate Is ap- proximately correct and that decided falling off in the movement will soon ma terialize It Is absolutely essential that the amount brought into sight from now out must decrease 5000 under last year to make the crop only 10000, 000 Of course during the present excitement statistics are ignored entirely because the brisk demand for spots, at advancing prices, is sufficient incentive to stimulate values. This, however as mentioned yesterday, has been brought about by d number of interior merchants defaulting on their sales of spot cotton to European spin ners forcing these spinners to come in and replace their purchases on the open market It is claimed that there are number of December engagements to fill as well therefore 1t is question as to how long time it will take buyers to supply their urgent requirements. While they are doing so, those favorable to the article will use every endeavor to ad- vance the market further. Late cables from Liverpool say that Manchester spin ners are in bad way, and 1t is reported that even such large mills as Harrocks, Rylands and Calvert are working on short time. The less favorable political out look in the east has also added to the uneasiness existing in Liverpool Not Uithstanding adverse outside features sentiment continues rampantly bulish and the ccncensus of opinion in America seems to be that prices will seek high CT level.

LOCAL MARKETS,

The cotton market continues to present some interesting feature. Another rise was registered yesterday and good mid ding is quoted at 12bc.
 The bond market is rather quiet, al- though several changes in the quotations are noted for yesterdays close.
 Staple groceries continue steady with one exception. Fancy hams, are marked off he. All other lines are steady.
 Morris avenue presents a lively appear ance these days, but all lines are holding very steady. Game and turkeys are in evidence but the demand for the latter sems destined soon to exhaust the sup ply Various fruits and nuts are on sale and shipments are arriving daily. From present indications the Christmas rush will be as heavy this year as in former years, with an equal volume of business.

 New York. December 1S.-The situation today has been influenced by the spot market throughout the south, there being almost unlimited export demand at any price which have caused advances in price from is to 2sc. Liverpool closed easy about points below the opening New York, after the first hour took on renew ed strength and all offerings were quickly absorbed by buying orders which seemed to come from every section of the conn try, and only some weak longs seemed to supply the demand. The closing was about the highest prices of the day Con- fidence is growing in the belief of very short crop. which strengthens the situa- tions, and giving greater confidence to the already powerful bull support, which the market has so long had. will. we believe, prevent any material reaction.
