Baxter & Co.'S Cotton letter.
 New York, December S.-The early in- formation from Liverpool today was quite disappointing and denoted decline of 20 points or three times the loss looked for by people here, A good share of this was recovered later on but the feel ing was nervous and unsettled. The de- cline was presumed to be due to bear efforts. The market has been recently advancing to an unexpectedly high level and many dlsgruntled operators who failed to enter the market before the bu- reau figures appeared were quite ugly and were trying to encourage short sell ing, making this to retrieve failure to profit on the long side of the market There is, however, such a feeling that the crop Is short that the bear opera tions, except for very quick turns, are likely to prove disastrous Opening sales today were at a decline of F to 23 points, Altogether offerings were less than feared and half the loss was recovered on heavy buying from all quarters and evidence of fresh restlessness in. bear circles. It soon appeared that this was not the time to expect prices to go off and keep off. Cables moved up quickly before the closs, leaving off at only 4 to loss which was uncomprehensibet to bears and good local buying followed. Port receipts, S0,0OO vs 43,O00. There was renewed buying in the afternoon and prices both here and in New Orleans showed an advance of 30 to 40 points In winter months. Those who sold in the early morning session were anxious buyers in the afternoon.

sharp break Aside from the absence of moisture in the winter wheat belt. news favored the seller. Foreign markets were lower. There was no export demand. Re- ceipts quarter of million more than last year and all outside markets more or less weak. The local trade was bear ish and those who had any wheat dis posed of it early. The purchases of the big long account are estimated at about four million bushels. While conditions may favor declines. too much unanimity on the short sides is likely to cause quick bulges The corn market has again shown weakness. closing at a decline of one half to five-eights. Opening prices were but a shade easier but heavy profession al selling resulted in a quick break. Ar mour buying caused a reaction which, however, was lost towards the close. Cash market easy, one-half off.

 New Orleans, December S.-Early Liver pool advices were very disappointing, consequently our market opened II to IS lower, but immediately after advanced 70 to fl from the bottom on heavy fresh buying, and the later Improvement in Liverpool When this demand subsided values eased off Il to + from the top on realizing. Near the close another buy of to '. making the net gain II to r points on the day The movement con tinues heavy and spots are neglected, as spinners and exporters seemed in- elined to pause, refusing to follow the advance. The outside public, however, were free buyers of deliveries, predicated we understand on several thousand tele- grams sent out broadcast by a leading New York bull operator advising this course. Every one recognizes the fact that sentiment is rampantly bullsh in America, and the favorable feature is eagerly grasped to advance the market.
 While this feeling prevails the egit- mate supply and demand are not con- sidered.
 Such a state of affairs may temporarily influence prices, but to make the situa- tion healthy it is essential to have a good demand for actual spots. As long as the spinners and exporters remain out of the market we think it best to work on con servative lines and we therefore still think it advisable to buy only on decided declines l.

COTTON DECLINE
 IS SHORT LIVED New York Bull Leader Starts to Buying Heavily NEW ORLEANS HOLDS FIRM In Last Hour Realizing Is Again At tracted, and Most of Net Gain
 Lost, With Market
 Finally Steady.
NEW ORLEANS HOLDS FIRM

New York, December S.--The cotton market opened weak, at decline of Il q1S points. following Liverpool cables that were about 14Q15 points lower st the time of the local opening, after having reported decline of 19Q2O points, while spot cotton in that market was down about half a cent. In addition to the ca bles, an influence tending to encourage expectations of a further reaction, the movement for the day was expected to make heavy showing, and reports from southern textile centers spoke of a possi- ble curtailment in manufacturing.
 Phe decline was short lived, however, for almost at once the local bull leader started to. buying heavily, and there also seemed a good demand for shorts taking profits on the decline, while other out side operators also sent buying orders. with brokers representing New England spinners stating that there was a good demand from that quarter for both spots and futures. New Orleans aIso showed firmness, report coming from there to the effect that the bull leader was bid ding for hundred thousand July at 12.27. and soon the market here had been rallied to about the closing prices of the pre- vious night. Trading at first, which was active, became slightly less, so after the recovery, fluctuations were very irregu- lar. Prices. however, showed a good up- ward tendency. and during the afternoon worked upward point by point until they showed net gain of about 19@2S points on the active months and an advance from the low point of 36dSs points on the same positions
 In the last hour realizing was again at tracted and most of the net gain was lost, with the market finally steady. net points lower for December and from to points higher on the other posi- tions.
 Port receipts for the day turned out well over last years figures but the esti- mate for tomorrow movement was rath- CT smaller, and exports were fair. South ern spot markets were generally easier and unchanged to 1s cent lower.
 Receipts of cotton sat the ports today 79,049 bales, against SS,576 last week, and 7S4 last year. For the week, 35O, GOO, against 373,S50 last week, and 261, 7S4 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans were 24S64, against 12,4SS last year, and at Houston 25,191 bales, against 12,O56 last year.

 New York, December S.-The market closed dull and below the best of the day It looks to us very much like profit-taking although we did not like the way Rock Island acted. We think the selling in the common is very good and it is the only good selling that we know of The short interest amongst the smaller class of people and which we have been watch ing for a long time, remains largely un- covered and for this reason we believe the rise not over. We would recommend railroads and only those which are not dominated by any one group of capital ists

 New York, December S-One seldom sees such an opportunity to make good money as was presented to the general public this morning. We are happy to say a great many availed themselves of the rare chance offered and buying proved on a scale to turn the tide. 1t is not often that a trader can buy with such security as he could this morning and by midday sell out with 30 points to his credit, but this was what happened and the peculiar part of the whole business was that the bears who had no money to lose did the selling and were caught again. Of course this was unfortunate and all that, but it is all the fortunes of war. We could not give an account of today's market without referring to the bears. Some of the largest traders in the market bought cotton at noon, where every bale showed a loss. This operation accounted for the sudden ad- vance, just as it accounted for the break Bears smashed the price We cannot ex- press any sympathy with the losses taken. Men who stepped in and brought on the smash and made money were to be con graduated on their courage. But if the crop is small buyers will make money by taking cotton on just such declines as we had this morning. Reports from the south show that spots are in demand and are not weakening. You cannot short cotton in New York now around or be- low 12 cents with impunity as long as spot markets hold. When, southern markets break we will be in shape to change ideas on the cotton market and not before

 New York, December S.-The weakness in Liverpool this morning is accounted for by heavy liquidation by New Orleans traders in the market New York fol- lowed suit, opening off and barely steady but soon reacted being well supported by the bull leaders with good buying orders from commission and private wire houses, so the strength of the market has been well maintained and it was great opportunity to get in at the open- ing. Some profit-taking during the last hour caused the market to ease off. There was no loss in strength and todays ac- tions have shown that the popular senti- ment is in favor of a small crop and higher prices so there is no necessity for taking losses on the long side of the ac- count at this time.

 New York. December S.--In receiving the stock market today the most promi- nent feature is the increase in public ab- sorption. which was extended more than for any day up to this time since the ad- vance began. The whole market broaden ed but the steam exhibited at the opening could not be kept up and profit taking re- suited in q natural recession of q moder- ate extent in the afternoon trading We believe that on this reaction, excellent opportunities are presented to get large profits for traders who do not hesitate to purchase on soft spots.
