New York, Dec. 14.-Liverpool was
not up to expectations to-day, and the
receipts We're not falling off as was
predicted last week Furthermore,
press dispatches from Mississippi were
bearish and intimated that large guam
titles were awaiting shipment as soon
as the price touched lac Local
confidence was disturbed for the mo-
ment. A good many recent buyers
were wanting profits, but, nevertheless,
prices were at an adVance-in fact,
after every little lower tendency eager
ness TO buy was shown. The feeling
was that we are now feeling the eff
fects of the usual Christmas rush of
cotton to market. Shorts understood
this, and selling is, therefore. a dan
gerouS propOsition-in fact, there is
absence of willingness to take the short
side anywhere. The bureau figures are
adhered to by best houses, and, if any
thing, these feel confident that the out
put Will fall under government figures.
The market weakened after the open
ing, and there was an absence of bust
ness. The estimates for a large move
ment Tomorrow seem to remove con-
fidence. Port receipts were 81 900 bales,
against $4,000 last year. Scalpers did
a good deal of business, and Wall street
bought some on the decline. Cables
closed at decline of 2@5 points.
Estimates for Tomorrow: Houston.
$4,000 to $1,000 bales, against 1927 last
year; New Orleans, 10000 to 1900,
against 1855 last year; Galveston. 81
900 to $4,000 against 1886 last year.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Dec. 14-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of Ia
. points notwithstanding lower cables,
full receipts and generally favorable
weather for marketing the crop as a
result of renewed bull support and
covering, which Immediately follow
ing the call, impaired a firm tone to
the market and advanced prices an
other few points. The strength SEEM
ed partly due to strong advices from
Southern sources regarding the spot
situation and rather more optimistic
view of the Far Eastern situation, APP
prehensions as to which had been a
depressing influence in last Saturdays
market but the advance was attended
by very bearish cables from Liverpool
in some instances alleging that the
Manchester mills were considering the
question of closing down for a con-
siderable period. Such rumors as this
though definite, together with fears
that the continued heavy movement of
cotton into sight would shake popular
confidence in the governments crop
report caused considerable selling and
shortly after the call prices had been
depressed to IL points on the more
active positions with December and
January ruling around Saturdays
finals. The estimates for to-morroW'S
ACCClpCo were ntdNy anu the DAY S
movement was dull, but the exports
were full and in the afternoon the
market again rallied, selling up to the
best prices of the day or net to Z
points higher. Toward the close a re-
newal of liquidation and bear pressure
caused partial reaction but the mar
ket was finally quiet and steady with
December net points higher; January
unchanged and the other positions 8
to points net lower.
Sales were estimated at $4,000 bales
representing the least active full ses-
sion of recent times

rounds, but they showed no great
eagerness for the offerings, and the
day closed with nothing specially do
ing. The offerings were about taken.
Reports from the country are to the
effect that box-cutting is progressing,
and that the cut will be in the neigh
borhood of what it was last season.
The current impression is that there
will not be any increase in production.
Receipts 872 casks, and the exports IS

ROSINS-The rosin market opened
firm, sales 2,072 barrels, and closed
firm and unchanged, sales 1885 bar
rels. The demand was fairly good,
with the offerings inquired for. How
ever, the demand did not appear to be
sufficient to absorb the entire of the
offerings. For some time factors
have found at the close of the day a
part of their offerings left on hand.
This promises to be the case until
after the holidays. Some look for a
better demand for foreign export the
balance of the month, owing to the
number of steamers that will be sail
ing for December shipment. Receipts,
3.241 barrels, and the exports $40 bar
rels. Prices as follows:

COTTON.

Spot cotton opened steady, sales
no bales, ruled steady at the
MONDAY call, sales PSI bales, and
closed steady, sales 20 bales; sales for
the day 280 bales. The demand was
fairly good, with holders backward
about parting with their cotton except
at full prices. Factors were not
eager sellers on the theory that the
futures markets are entitled to an up
ward squirt since their depression of
the past two days. The receipts, 1906
bales, again 6,62S bales same day last
year.
In the f. o. b. market the demand
was good, with the country reluctant
sellers. Only in occasional cases were
the interior willing to part with their
cotton, which they claimed would
bring higher prices later in the month
when exporters again enter the market
for supplies. Then it is believed that
the demand will be decidedly better
than at present, though on the whole,
it is all that can be expected. The
Cotton Exchange quotations in the
morning were IL 5-16c for basis good
middling and at the closing II 5-16c.

quotations at the close of the market

The Morning News Office,
Monday, Dec. IA.
Moving within narrow range the cot
ton futures markets did not attract
much attention to-day, and furnished
little attraction for the outside public
The market closed some lower, and
showed no pronounced tendency either
way. The movement was exceptional
Iy heavy, comparing bearlshly with
last year, but the movement appears
to cut little figure in the situation this
season. The old timers have found
it does not do to form conclusions on
the movement and act upon them for
the reason that usually large receipts
no longer appear to exert depressing
influence on prices.
Locally the demand in the spot mar
kets was fairly good, with no show of
eagerness on the part of either port or
interior holders to sell cotton. Con-
tent to hold the belief is that there
will in all probability be no activity
until after the holidays. From the
country advices were to the effect
that the pressure to sell was light, and
that holders seemed unwilling to sell
at other than full prices. On the
other hand Europe did not have the
market flooded with orders, and cables
to local exporters on the whole pointed
to a disposition on their part to await
further developments.
Turpentine closed firm at SEC, with
the demand fairly good, and the offer
ings about taken. Resins closed firm
with the demand moderate. The
wholesale markets closed steady and
in the main unchanged. Details of the

A. NOrden & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Dec. 14.-There was no
special feature of interest in the cot
ton market to-day, and the fluctuations
have been within narrow limits with
the close at a slight loss from Satur-
day. We have just received a cable
stating that the India crop estimates
are being reduced, but this will hardly
have any immediate effect on the mar
ket. The situation at the present mo-
ment has all the ear marks of a holt
day market and we doubt whether
there will be much change of conse-
quence until after the holidays. Mean
time, we continue to believe that sales
in the neighborhood of 1219 cents for
the spring months will prove moderate
ly profitable, though should we have a
sharp decline to the neighborhood Of
II cents We would advise buying.
