Cotton Letter.

Raleigh, N c., Dec. 11.-As compared
with the previous week, conditions in the
cotton market have teen normal during
the past few days. But when compared
with the cotton situation that usually
prevails, surroundings have not changed
to any appreciable extent. The recent de
cline in prices has served, not to weaken
the courage of bulls nor to arouse inter
est or mistrust over the outlook. II has
served to bring in new buyers into the
future market and encourage the pur-
chase of actual cotton by domestic spin
ners. In fact if there is one feature which
stands out prominently this week, it is
this buying by belated spinners. Spot
houses have done a big business. Not
exporters, but those in touch with the
| Northern and Southern mills Hereto
| fore this branch of the trade has been in
a quiescent state. This week it has been
| booming. Consumers who failed to realize
| the gravity of the situation at ten cents,
and eleven cents, found the reaction to
| twelve cents from twelve and a half cents
a favorable chance to pick UP some cot
ton. To this buying of actual cotton must
be attributed the resistance shown to
pressure in futures Those unacquainted
with the condition in New York this week
can have no appreciation of the efforts
made to break the market. AT times it.
locked as though the price must give
way, as though nothing could withstand
the force of the terrific onslaughts of the
bears We are not accustomed to pay
much attention to those who operate in
any one market Trading is merely Incl
dental and does not change facts or con
ditions. But to those looking at the mar
ket this week, the efforts on the part OF
four or five traders to bring about de
cline called for comment. Men who have
been tear h for a cent or two pound, saw
or thought they had a chance to get even.
Cotton was hurled into the pit ten thous-
and bales at time. Some of the big
men were selling, and the bull party
seemed willing to let the market take
care Of itself. Tt now remains to be seen
whether this cotton can be recovered
without putting prices higher 1t is gem
orally known that the market is a long
market. Going on this fact alone we
would be rather bearish for the present
1t is en- element of weakness under GER
tain conditions. The question is, will re-
ceipts fall oft in the future to sustain ten
and quarter million bale crop ideas? If
so prices will advance. Until that time
arrives we may have a ragged market.
Holders may be compelled to sell part OF
their cotton. After that, conditions may
bring about an advance Owing to the
heavy long interest waiting to take prof
its, we would proceed very cautiously for
the present, and would not hesitate to
take advantage of every hard spot cash
in. IF the movement falls off and bears
start to cover, it will be easy enough to
jump aboard again The price is high,
the future uncertainty, and under these
circumstances, a conservative attitude at
the moment is likely to pay in the long
run. WARE & LELAND.

Sale of Prints.

(By the Associated Press }

,
Fall River, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE sale
in the print cloth market for the week are
estimated at from 100000 to 100000 pieces
The market for both regulars and odd
goods has strengthened during the week,
regulars advancing from IA to 3 3-S
and wide and narrow odds rising one
eighth. Inquiries from buyers are be.
coming more numerous each day which
indicates 4 brisk trade in the near future,
and further advances Of prices are ex-
peGted in all branches of the market.
Talk of curtailment and the high cotton
market was responsible for the upward
tendency of the cloth market and the
renewed interest which buyers are show
ing has firmly impressed those concerned
that before long they viii be getting
better prices for their productions. AS to
the much talked OF curtailment move
nent nothing of certainty or of gen
eral nature has appeared on the surface,
although two mills will be run indefinitely
for three days week beginning Monday
