NEW YORK DDec. 3o--The operations in ehe cotton future market today continued on a tremendously heavy scale. Nervousness will be noted throughout the day, and sentiment in active trading circles was decidedly mixed Many commission houses openly expressed themselves as dislnclined to take any further chances with the market, and in some cases they stated that the market was far too dan gerous to admit Of ordinary transactions. In this connection many houses advised their clients to close out their deals at the market and remain out of the fighting until some later day when conditions became more normal. From the very clang of the gong today opera tions were excited and extremely uncertain. and many professionals were at perfect loss to get the lay of matters they actually stood. On the better levels, there were heavy sales representing longs. while on the dips shorts were free buyers and in this fashion the short interest was believed to have been reduced. All things considered. however, post tive assertians were difficult to secure and the leading interest had enough to do to watch without having anything to say regarding the dealings and interests of other individuals. In the afternoon the market became less active, but the nervousness was still evident and un- certainty was a feature up to the close. Pro- fessIenal interests did the bulk of the busi- ness during the latter part of the day. Shorts were disposed to cover on all recessions and the demand from this source quite active at times. The estimated port receipts were 5e. 900, against 55, l9l for the same day last year,.

PRONOUNCED DEPOSITION TO
 TAKE PROFITS.
No Lack of Fostering Care, However, Which Held in Check Declines and Nursed Recoveries
 of Prices.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3o.-There was pro- nounced disposition to take profits in today stock market as was rather clearly foresnao- owed by the action of the late market of yes terday but there was no lack of fostering care of the market, which held it in check on the declines and nursed their recoveries The large interests behind the market were disin- clined to continue the advance in the face ot stiff cali money market they were by no means willing to 'relinquish the adVantageous position secured for the year-end situation. If it is true, generally supposed. that the great banking groups. with their allied and complex interests in the great trust companies, the insurance companies and in other man ctal institutions, have given a friendly count enance to the advance in prices to correct the discrepancies from last years showing in bal ance sheets investments held. etc, It would not agree with those purposes to have the ad- vances yielded on the very eve of the new year. The pinch in the money market was ings in today's market. but the watchful guar dianship was evidenced by the way in which influential stocks were bid up to hold prices The Pacifics and the United states Steel stocks were conspicuous examples. Some of the less prominent stocks. which have en- joyed violent advances within the last few days. were forced back with proportionate vio- stocks and the high-priced coalers were in this list The New York public utilities were also markedly reactionary: The Reading statement Ssa as of sS72. 900 for all the companies compared with last year, hurt the coalers. The compari- son Is with the period of greatest activity last year; succeeding the settlement of the strike, which this falls trade has been curtailed by the large anticipatory buying last Spring at the low price schedule.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
ERRATIC TENDECY SHOWN
 FROM rdE BEGINNING.
Close Weak at a Decline of 33 to 40 Points, the Sales for the Day Being Estimated at 3,5o0,-
 900 Bales.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3o-Th ecotton market opened irregular at an advance of 2 points to a decline of points, ruled very active and irregular, but showed the whole e declining tendency that seemed chiefly the result of li- ataidation accompanied by apprehensions that the big bulls were unloading. From the very start the market was cratic to such an ex- tent that 1t was almost impossible to tell from one minute to another whteher prices were going up down. Generally speaking
 however, prices broke rapidly during the early trading until shortly before the noon hour they were net 3594o points lower on the near months, this being a decline from the best prices of yesterday of about S4.e5 bale. Just after the noon hour the bulls started buying aegressivsly. The room which had been help ing to sell the market down actively for prof it's as prices worked upward wired houses to get buying orders and in a moment everything was confusion with prices going upward so rapidly that inside of fifteen minutes shey had been rallied to a little over the final quota tions of the previous night. At the rally the demand fell off and while the local bull leader appeared to be buying in a small way during the balance of the session prices, though more or less irregular worked generally downward with the close weak at a net decline of S3M49 points. Sales were estimated at $500 900 bales. The late break was accompanied by un- settling rumors regarding the Far Eastern sit-
 untion- Receipts at the ports today, 5l ,559 bales, compared with 52. o45 and 55, loI last year. For the week, 25o 900 bales, against 30I,5II last week and 254. 256 last year.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 3O-An the worlds cot ton markets today have been extremely sensi- tive and experienced violent fluctuations. A fe wthousand bales bought or sold would cause material changes. There have been many runors as to the position of the bull leaders some claiming that they had been dethroned and that their bubble was bursted and the market would now seek lower levels, but after decline of nearly 50 points today about noon the market rallied 40 points on very little support. In the pit it was said that those who have been saying the jig is up with the bulls were later in the day liberal buyers. Nothing points to the disbursement of the bull leaders, and this decline is but natural after such marked advance. Private tele- grams from the South say that spots are nominal. but none offering. and holders re- fuse to sell while receipts are falling off In the face of this we expect to see rallying and new high prices. though there may be further declines and some wild fluctuations yet to come. The spot market in the South is gen. erally reported from A to A lower. Spots in New York 20 points lower, middllng quoted at 1880.

tBy Private Wire From Gibert & C1ay.l NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3o.-Cables contained more pronounced expression of pessimism to- day and in referring to the immediate condi- ton of the market, intimated that no deter mined support was in evidence, which permit ted of a serious break in prices. in case of genuine pressure to sell. The resolutions of spinners to run short time has had unfa- vorable effect on opinions abroad and the be- lief still exists that short crop reports were exaggerated. The tone of this market was in-
 tensely feverish from beginning to the close.
 There was general liquidation of long commit ments which forced prices down despite occa- sional rallies that followed active bidding by
 bulls. A feature which contributed to the anx- iety of sellers the utter absence of de- mand for spots. With the decline in futures the premium over spots remvoed, and with an inquiry from the regular trade lack ing, business dropped off comparatively to nothing for actual cotton. Today's drop of about 50 points following yesterdays decline of S3 per bale. furnishes sufficient evidence of the possibilities Of the present situation.
 It is useless to attempt predicting what will happen the next day. These are critical times and one without abundant cash protection should not contemplate venturing fin such
 markets. The chances of gain or loss on either

NEW YORK. Dec, 3o.-Advices from Liver pool early today showed that the demoraliza- tion here on yesteria lay was by means so pro- nounced. On the contrary. prizes were making better showing than expected. It has been claimed here that the bull leader had sold out and that the market had been left without any support whatever. but it is absurd to pre- sume that cotton prices are dependent upon the whim of any individual: actual cotton Is coming to a full price to justify any side The recent reactionary movement is only the fact being overloked that the trade had never witnessed rise of magnitude with so few set backs An early advance was expected by A sharp decline and selling pressure was shown in all quarters, but this was being encouraged by the bull element and the explanation that snort interest of magnitude had been formed recently that will carry the market very promptly after the holidays or al least until the next bureau report to amount of gtnned cotton, which cannot fail to prove very bullish Cables were 32@34 lower at the close.

to prepare every one for the events of Ses- terday and today. Those who overstay a mar ket generally pay the penalty. Always sooner or later Cotton may sell very much higher Tn the Spring. That Is not a consideration at the present. Wild speculation of the danger ous kind has carried the market to a point where smash of a cent or more Is a simple matter. The string has been stretched to the breaking point; 1t has broken. There Is no excuse for not taking profits. Take them be- fore we have another panic and prices are driven to point where profits become losses. The bloom appears to be of the rye for the present.
