the second act that is rarely excelled. The
other two acts are laid in England in the
castle of the Earl of Huntington, who
is Robin Hood. The scenic effects are
very brilliant in all three acts, and the
chorus is up to the well-known standard
of the Bostonians. But even Henry Clay

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, December 30.-Advances from Liverpool showed that the decentralization here on yesterday was by no means so pronounced there. On the contrary prices were making a better showing than ex- pected. It had 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 presume that cotton prices are dependent upon the whim of any individual.
 Actual cotton is commanding too full a price to justify any such idea. The recent reactionary movement is only natural, the fact being overlooked that the trade has never witnessed such a rise of magni- tude with so few set-backs. An early ad- vance was succeeded by a sharp decline and selling pressure was shown in all quar- ters but this was undoubtedly being en- couraged by the bull element and the eX- pectation is that a short interest of such magnitude has been formed recently that xill carry the m rket lp Vi' promptly after the holidays. or at least until the next bureau report as to the amount of ginned cotton which cannot fail to prove very bullish Cables were i2 to 3f iints lower at the close.

The probabilities are that the weeding out process will make traders conservative, and that values in the future will be regulated more by legitimate features. There Is no doubt that sentiment is very favorable to cotton, and any encourage ment will quickly be taken advantage of to enhance prices. In the meanwhile, the statistical situation is not as strong as 1t was last year. yet existing prices are over five cents a pound higher, in the face of general unfavorable textile trade conditions. In other words 1t looks as if the cotton trade wants proof now that the out-turn of the crop will not be over 100000, and that spinners must have the raw material at any price to fill their engagements. Of course, with the bullish feeling prevalent, advances are to be expected from time to time nevertheless we continue to think well of taking profits. under present condi- tions. and if the facts later on warrant purchases, there will be many oppor- tunities of doing so.

 New Orleans, La. December 30.-CableS contained a more pronounced expression of pessimism today in deferring to the im- mediate conditions of the market, inti- mated that no determined support was in evidence which permitted of a serious break in prices in case of genuine pres sure to sell.
 The resolutions Of spinners to run short time has had ssl unfavorable effect on opinions abroad, and the belief still ex- sts that crop reports were exaggerated.
 The tone of this market was intensely feverish from beginning to the close. There was general liquidation of long commitments which forced prices down despite occasional rallies that followed active bidding by bulls A feature which contributed to the anxiety of sellers was the utter absence of demand for spots. With the decline in futures the premium over spots was removed, and with an inquiry from the regular trade lacking, business dropped off comparatively to nothing for actual cotton. Todays crop of about 50 points. following yesterdays s decline of 8 per bale, furnishes sufficient evidence of the possibilities of the pres ent situation. It is useless to attempt predicting what will happen the next day. These are critical times, and one without abundant cash cotton should not contemplate venturing In such markets.
 The chances of gain or loss on either side are stupendors.

 New York December 30.-AH the worlds cotton markets today have been extremely sensitive and experienced vio- lent fluctuations A few thousand bales bought or sold would cause material changes. There have been many rumors as to the position of the bull leaders, some claiming that they had been de- throned and that their bubble was busted and the market would now seek lower levels, but after a decline of nearly 50 points today about noon the market ral- lied 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 dethronement of the bull leaders. and this decline is but natural after such a marked advance. Private telegrams from the South say that spots are nominal, but none offering, and holders refuse to sell while receipts are falling off. In the face of this we eX- pect to see rallyfng and new high prices, though there may be further decline and some wild fluctuations yet to come. The spot market in the South is generally reported from 1s to Ii lower. Spots in New York 20 points lower, middling quoted at 13 50.

COTTON MARKET STILL DECLINES From the Very Start Trading
 was Active PRICES BROKE RAPIDLY Bulls Started Buying Progressively Just After the Noon Hour But Failed to Give the Market a suff-
 cient Brace.
PRICES BROKE RAPIDLY

New York, December 30.-The cotton market opened irregular, at an advance of points, to decline of points, ruled very active and irregular, but showed on the whole a declining tendency that seemed chiefly the result of liquidation accompanied by apprehension that the big bulls were unloading. From the very start, the market was cratic to such an extent that it was almost impossible to tell from one minute to another whether prices were going up or down. Gener- ally speaking, however, prices broke rap- idly during the early trading, until shortly before the noon hour. when they were net 3S to 40 points lower on the near months, this being decline from the best prices of about $4s5 per bale Just after the noon hour, the bulls started buying aggressively.
 The room, which had been helping to sell the market down actively for profits, as prices worked upward, wire houses got buying orders, and in 8 moment everything was confusion with prices going upward so rapidly, that inside of fifteen minutes they had been rallied to little over the final quotations of the previous night At the recovery, 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 net decline of 33 to 49 points Sales were estimated at 3,5O0,O0 bales. The late break was accompanied by unset ting rumors regarding the far eastern situation.
 Receipts at the port today, 51. .559 bales, | compared with 52,O45 and 55, 5,191 last year. For the week, 250.00O bales, against 901,- 5l1 last week and 254, ,256 last year.
