fore Many Days.
New York. Dec. 29.-The advices
from Liverpool to-day were of a salts
factory character, further advance TAX
ing place there before our opening.
Receipts promised to be better but all
accounts agree that we are now feel
ing the effect of the great advance,
and that the great majority of the
rise, and rushed their cotton to the
market faster than ever before. This
accounts for the report to-day issued
by the Journal of Commerce showing
that 80 per cent. mere cotton is now
shown than last year. If this be the
case we should, before many days wit
ness a big slump in the movement
which has recently been dropping off
somewhat from last figures. 1t is be
lieved that by the end of the coming
week, say Jan. S, the movement Will
have begun to shrink to such a point
that buyers will show less hesitation
than, heretofore. The opening to-day
was easy. and prices quickly moved
down to IA points with good deal
of anxiety to sell. Further losses oc-
Cured later in the day, the market
rallying sharply, and breaking almost
as quickly. Prices moderated, some
and went down very rapidly, near end,
but closed at substantial rally. The
port receipts were $1,000 against same
last year. Gables closed 2 to higher.
Estimates for tomorrow: Houston,
$1,000 against 1855, last year. New
Orleans, $4,000 against 22,222, Calves
ton, 5000 against S,946, last year.

WARE a. LELAND'S LETTER.
Urges Profit Taking as Market Has
Reached Breaking Point.


New York. Dec. 29.-The inevitable
happened to-day. 1t was not unex-
pected, this crash. 1t was overdue.
But it came like a thunderclap out
of a clear sky We are ready to con-
graduate those who took our advice
of last week, and werG eout of the
market They have Hothing to re-
greet. The tension Nod reached the
breaking point. There was but one
thing for the market to do-break.
1t might have gone on higher, but
the craze has landed the market in
a condition where we are not anxious
to buy cotton.
We have said this so frequently
lately that we suppose readers of the
constant reiteration are tired. But no
one knows how dangerous this market
is, nor will it be known until somebody
is badly injured and the news of the
wounded begins to come in. Cotton
is valuable. but there is a limit to all
things.
We have no language at our COM
mand strong enough to urge profit
taking. Turn paper into cash and
Jet this market alone for a time.
We are saying this because we think
it is for your benefit, not for ours.
No one wants business more than
we do, but not under conditions that
may prove very disastrous.

A. NoRDEN & CO.'S LETTER.
No Decided Opinion as to How Mar
Iket VIII Go.

New York, Dec. 29.-Liverpool gave
us a slight advance this morning, but
our market was weak around the
opening with a decline of 25 points,
from which power the recovery was
rapid, and during the forenoon the
outlook was for quite a steady mar
ket.
Very heavy selling orders came in,
however, from Southern SPECTATORS
who had been carrying large lines,
and the market being without sup
port, prices broke about y of cent
under the execution of these orders.
Supporting orders were then received
from New Orleans, and about half
of the loss was recovered, but the
feeling at the close is unsettled, with
opinions about equally divided as to
whether we shall have another day
of liquidations tomorrow, and another
upward turn. We are free to confess
that we ourselves have no decided
opinion either way,

the DccIine-F. o, II. Market Duh
on Account of Interior Refusing
TO Sell at Quotation Figures, on
Expectation That Ginners' Report
VIII Show short Crop.
Morning News Office.
Tuesday, Dec. %.
The unexpected happened to-day, and
the flash of lightning came out of a
clear sky. The longs were hard hit,
and for time all was chaos Reports
from the scene, have only commenced
to come in, and it cannot be stat
ed how many were scathed and wound
cd.
Without warning cotton tUmbled from
it's lofty perch and the days close saw
a falling off of from Al to SO opints.
Following so close on the heels of the
sensational advance of the day he
fore when new records were made al
most hourly, the decline was the more
unlocked for. While the bears looked
wise. and wore an Il told you so" air
the fact of the matter is that no one
expected the slump.
The futures market opened up at
an advance of l point, but in the
twinkling it had declined IL. From
that time on it was a case of see
saw. and one of the most violent, and
irregular markets witnessed in years
was the consequence.
Both New York and New Orleans
witnessed wild scenes. both on change
and the curb. The bulls were panic
stricken, and threw their holdings in
to the ring, and heavy liquidation
followed.
1t was given out that the reason
for the slump was due to the fact that
the English spinners had decided to
run their mills on half time. This
rumor came from Manchester. and
whether it was true or false it had its
effect upon the market
Then again it was said that the de-
cline was caused by the holders TAX
ing advantage of the heavy rise and
rushing their cotton to the market.
Various conjectures were rife and the
air was filed with rumors. January
showed a falling off of So points; March
As and May, 45 at the close of the mar
ket.
In the spot market 5SS bales were
posted at the last call as the days
sales. In the f. o. b. market every
thing was almost at standstill. the
interior was not inclined to sell at
the decline and business was very light.
The country is said to be waiting for
full prices on a short crop, which they
say will be shown when the ginners
report is made public.
Spot prices were on a basis of 1890
for good middling. The market closed
dull, and nominal.

Tuesday, Dec. 29.
SPIRITS.-The turpentine market
was firm to-day and both opened and
closed at 56Ac. There was good de-
mand for spirits at that figure and at
the Board of Trade 100 casks were
sold at II a. M, and 467 casks at the
closing, making a total of 5S7 casks
for the days sales.
The factors are still optimistic in re-
gard to the future of turpentine and
are inclined to the belief that the
opening of the New York will witness
still higher prices. They base their
estimate on the demand which is ex-
pected to be unusually brisk. The re-
ceipts were $40 casks, but no turpen-
tine was exported.
ROSINS.-The rosin market main
tanned affirm basis at both the opening
and closing. There was but little
rosfn on the factors tables at the
days close, as the demand was brisk
even after the closing.
Factors freely express the opinion
that resins will be in greater demand
after the holidays and higher prices
are expected. The receipts for the
day were 2,776, with no exports.
Prices as follows.
